The Secret of the Deputy

Chapter 4

"I haven't changed my mind, Drakken. I just called to ask for help ".

"As long as you return, I'll do whatever you ask, My Lord. You can be sure of that! "

"I told you I'm not coming back" Travis said in frustration. "I just want you to help me with something".

Drakken paused for a moment before instantly responding, "I won't do it".

Travis jerks. "Come, Drakken! You practically saw me grow up; what harm did it do to help me? This will not trouble you at all ".

"If you want me to help you, all you have to do is come back and take responsibility. That simple! But if you are not, not going anywhere to play an emotion card ", replied drakken firmly.

"You..." Travis was irritated, because he didn't expect that. "Fines. I don't need your help! I'll face it myself ".

"Novem Group was one of the assets of the Blood Wolf. Fighting them meant fighting the Blood Wolf. You should know what would happen if you did that..."

"Why not know your shame, grandfather? If you already know what's going on, why don't you help me? All you have to do is lift a finger! "

"Hehehe... I can do it as long as you return, My Lord. Moreover, based on my understanding of the York Family, your journey forward will still be difficult even if you complete this mission of yours. If you want to be a hero, returning to claim your throne will be your wisest choice. "

Travis scoffs. "I'm the King of Packages! So what if I don't have a Blood Wolf? I can handle the whole York family myself. I said it and I will say it again. I will return - even if I am starving, freezing to death, or driven out of the family! "

Five minutes later...

"On behalf of the hundred thousand Blood Wolf members, welcome back, my lord! The Blood Wolf had wealth and power beyond one's imagination! " Drakken announced while clucking cunningly.

Travis wonders if Drakken did all that on purpose.

"Alright, stop kissing my ass. Tell me, what should we do with Tristan now that I'm back? ".

Drakken was silent for a moment. "He's been locked up in Westmount Prison".

Westmount Prison is the most secret prison facility in the world that does not belong to a single country. Those held there have either committed the most horrific crimes or are world-renowned figures.

Among such people include the Great Plunder of the century, Zayne Ibarra; the modern pirate Shia Hernandez; and*****tough*, bin Lahab.

Travis remained silent for a while before asking, "Who did it?"

"We don't know it yet".

"Look into it! Tristan is Charles's grandson. We can't let an outsider do this to her no matter what happens ", Travis ordered. He owed his life to Charles, and everything he knows today comes from him. So, the least he could do was to ensure the well-being of Charles' grandson.

"I understand".

& ltThump, thump, thump! & gt

Suddenly, Linda knocked on the door. "Are you dead, Travis? Get out of there right now! We have guests! "

Travis gripped his phone and lowered his voice in response. "I'll talk to you later. Do what you have to do with Novem Group. That's it ".

Then, he hung up the phone and opened the door to see Linda glaring at him in disdain. "You know Quinn's upset, and you just go and sleep? You're worse than a pig! "

"Are you blind? Go here and serve Adam! Pour him a drink and slice him fruits ". Linda immediately turned around and headed to the living room after giving her orders.

& ltAdam? & gt

& ltWho is Adam? & gt

Travis froze for a moment before walking into the living room.

On the sofa, Quinn sat next to a man in his nearly thirties, chatting politely.

"Thank you so much for keeping me company all day, Adam. You even took the time to comfort me ", said Quinn, smiling as she played her hair.

Adam waved his hand. "Why are you so formal with me? I just didn't expect that trash to actually do such a thing to you. I shouldn't have let you marry her back then, causing you to have to go through all this. Well, now that Prism Group is registered and I'm finally done with my training abroad, how about you - "

Before he could finish, Quinn hurriedly got up. "Just a minute, Adam. I'll give you fruits ".

"You don't have to do it. I've made the trash do it ", Linda exclaimed as she pulled Quinn back down. "Honestly, it's time we talked about this. We couldn't go against your grandfather's orders back then because of his influence. But he has been leaving us for over a year now and the Prism Group is taking a step forward, so you have to start thinking about your own future. Leave the trash behind and marry Adam instead. She's been single all this time for you, you know? "

Then Linda looked at Adam. "Adam, don't think less of Quinn just because she's been married, okay? He and the trash are just husband and wife in his name. My girl hasn't been tainted ".

"Of course, I won't, Linda. I'm serious about Quinn, and nothing will ever change that" Adam replied quickly. "By the way, you've almost finished the beauty pill I sent you, right?. I'm bringing you even more this time; they should be enough to last for an entire year. "

Linda's eyes widened to see Adam take two large bags full of gift boxes. "God! How can I accept this? The price is too expensive! "

Despite saying that, his hands were honest and he easily took the boxes from her.

"No problem at all! They are only about a thousand dollars per box. "

"What's? A thousand for a box? But you've sent dozens of them..." Linda's jaw gaped even as she felt joy deep down in her heart.

"Ha huh! It's not a big deal ". Adam chuckles.

& lt Spending tens of thousands is not a big deal? & I thought Linda.

& ItThen again, he is the heir to the Seven Stars Group. Tens of thousands obviously mean nothing to someone who will take over a business worth millions!

Now, THIS IS the kind of daughter-in-law I want!

That useless Travis did nothing to make me proud.

He's the most useless person I've ever seen.

I don't have to worry about anything for the rest of my life if Quinn marries Adam! & gt

"Listen to me, Quinn. What are you waiting for? Sooner or later you have to dump someone like Travis! If you feel bad about it, I'll talk to you ", Linda said.

Deep down, he had already decided to separate the two.
