The Hero

Chapter162 She's a Worthy Girl

Zephiel and Jade chatted a lot in the office. It was a normal small talk without much reason. At least Javier didn't notice anything important. However, after Jade left, Zephiel told her while sipping her coffee, "She's a good girl."

Javier doesn't know how Zephiel knows. It may be true that one sees the truth in the most mundane things. Perhaps he was untrained now, so he could not understand what the old fox was thinking and how he saw things.

Zephiel continued to speak. “Your line... always good. Selena's a great girl, too, so stop hating her. Different environment produce different people, that's it.”

Putting down the cup, Zephiel recalled.

“I couldn't understand this back then, didn't understand why people change because of money. I asked your great-grandfather afterwards, and he answered with another question. He asked if I would surrender if we were attacked by an old enemy.

“Of course not. I answered without thinking that I would fight until my last breath. We are Chinese, born and raised. How can a stranger step over our head? We'll kill them all!

“That's what I said, and your great-grandfather trusted me. But he then asked me, are my friends and colleagues around me all giving up, am I going to give up? He made me think about it and asked me not to answer in a hurry.

“So I thought about it carefully, as your great-grandfather asked, and hesitated. If my friends and colleagues around me give up, why should I stay? But then I still thought that I would not give up. I'm gonna go.

“When I told your great-grandfather about my answer, he chuckled and asked me, if my wife, my family, and everyone related to me were being held under the enemy's sword, will I continue?”

Zephiel took the jade pipe from Mackenzie - no one knew if it was genuine or fake - and took a few breaths after turning on the tobacco. The wisp of smoke rose slowly as the old man looked like he would not continue speaking.

Even so, Javier wanted to know the answer, so he asked, “Then?”

Zephiel took a few more puffs and replied with smoke connecting her words, “I did not answer her back then, and she did not ask again. But if you ask me today, I'll tell you that I might give up. ”

It was hard to imagine that such words would come out of Zephiel's mouth so correctly, especially when he was a patriot who had contributed so much to his country. Since they were in Javier's office, the answer was contained within four walls.

Zephiel added, “Your great-grandfather taught me to consider this issue from different points of view in different scenarios.

“It's like with Selena. I didn't look down on him back then - I looked down on the state of the two of you back then. If I, Jade, Ciara, and all of your friends and lovers were held under the enemy's sword, would you dare say that you would not surrender?

“Let's cut that shit. The so-called loyalty exists only because there is no good enough reason for betrayal. The reason should not be profit. It could be a threat or something else. From Selena's point of view, that's year after year of ridicule and ridicule.

“Javier, try to imagine that you are an ordinary person with a monthly expenditure of 400-600 dollars, but your friends all drive a BMW or Audi without exception. Believe me, at that time, you will save every penny you can to buy it, even if you have to apply for a loan or go to a loan shark to buy a used car or used car.”

Patting Javier on the shoulder, that was all Zephiel said as he gestured for Mackenzie to leave.

Javier secretly leads them down the building as he reminisces about the lesson the old fox had just given him.

Before they left the building, Zephiel turned to tell Javier, “Jade is a good girl, and the current state is right. Treat him well.”

It was the old fox's intention to visit him today. Zephiel was there to check on his daughter-in-law. She had met him and thought he was good, so he left.

Looking at Zephiel's retreating back, Javier chased after her.

Zephiel had planned to get a ride to the airport and fly straight to Medb, but when he heard Javier's words behind him, they touched his heart. Javier is the only one who will offer his own home to Zephiel, while the others have only ever seen Zephiel's house as their home. 1

This was the reason why he had loved Javier so much all along.

Shaking, Zephiel looked up with wet eyes without looking back. “Sure, okay. I'll be home tonight.”

Javier couldn't see what the old man looked like, but he could see Mackenzie's movements from the side. The man showed imaginary tears to tell Javier. At that moment, a leg was raised, kicking Mackenzie's butt.

Zephiel snorted, "Busy!"

Mackenzie chuckles. "Yes yes. I understand."

No one asked him to do that, so why did he become such a busy person? Mackenzie deserves to be kicked but he doesn't mind.

Since they were going to have dinner at home, Jade did not stay in the office to work overtime. Instead, he came home early. As the role model of a woman who has conquered her career and homework, she must show what she has.

While she is busy in the kitchen and Javier helps, Ingrid is "called" by Zephiel.

"Oh, Ingrid, it's hard for you to take care of that brat's woman."

Ingrid was as obedient as a child before his teacher when he stood in front of Zephiel. He did not dare to show any signs of relaxing as he replied seriously, “Nothing. Miss Odell is a kind woman. She was very nice to me.”

Zefiel smiles. "She must be a good girl if she makes you say nice things about her."

Ingrid, who felt like he had read his mind, had a shy smile on his face but he said the same thing. "MST. Odell really great.”

Zephiel hummed in agreement and replied, "Let's see if she's lucky enough to be your boss' wife!"

Ingrid is very happy. What Zephiel said meant that he indirectly agreed to Javier with Jade

When Ingrid goes to the kitchen to help Javier and Jade, Mackenzie speaks up. "Trs. Kersey Sr, don't you want to maintain the position of wife of the head of the family for the Soroys girl? ”

Zephiel replied, “I planned it at first. I want to keep a place for Angelina. But I realized it later. Why have I worked so hard for so many years? It's just that my children and future generations can have freedom

“The Kersey family is fine now. At the very least, we do not need matchmaking to maintain our current status

“I also consider Ciara for the main position. But his identity, even though he was not a blood relative, would more or less have an effect.

“In addition, both Angelina and Cici are undoubtedly loyal to Javier. They won't care about this. They only care about Javier. In that case, I'd better let Javier decide.” Mackenzie nodded in understanding and told Zephiel, "Jade Odell is really worth it."
