Chapter 221 A Dilemma
Pupil Wolf looked back and asked solemnly, “Mr. Mason, what…”
“What shall we do?”
Spirit Wolf echoed, his face dark, “They can’t wait for even a second. Mr. Mason hasn’t taken a rest after the long journey. They are pushing him to make the decision.”
It was indeed a dilemma.
Before coming to the capital, Pupil Wolf and Spirit Wolf knew it would be challenging. Much to their surprise, the two princes had found their whereabouts as soon as they arrived and made moves without waiting overnight.
Besides, both princes were half-brothers from different mothers, but they had a tacit understanding of each other.
If their men hadn’t arrived at the same time or they hadn’t held the welcome parties at the same restaurant, Sean could have met one after another. Then he could study both princes before making a decision.
However, they arrived in unison and chose the same time and venue for the welcome party. No matter which invitation Sean accepted, he would immediately offend the other party utterly.
Neither prince wanted to wait or give Sean an opportunity to consider. They insisted on getting the answer as soon as possible.
“Let’s go,” Sean snorted.
“Whether good or bad, we can’t avoid misfortune.”
“Let’s go downstairs.”
He turned away.
Pupil Wolf and Spirit Wolf exchanged a glance and followed him in silence. Anyway, no matter Sean’s choice, they would take his side firmly.
They took the elevator to the first floor. Once they walked out of the hotel entrance, the two parties rushed to them.
Both princes had sent more than 20 men.
They were young masters in the Early Stage in Dark Energy. None was life-threatening to Sean. Both princes showed their kindness as if to say, “Relax, Mr. Mason. Don’t take me wrong. We want to invite you to the party instead of capture you.”Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
After all, those men couldn’t do anything if Sean refused to accept the invitation.
“Good evening, Mr. Mason,” a young man in the lead from the left side broke the silence first, “We’re Prince Gerard’s bodyguards. It’s our pleasure to pick you up and give you a ride to Jade Restaurant.”
“Prince Gerard is waiting for you there.”
“This way, please.”
He gestured at Sean.
“It’s a great honor to meet you, Mr. Mason.”
The young man in the lead on the right side didn’t show weakness. He said, “We’re Prince Carl’s bodyguards. Prince Carl sent us to invite you to the welcome party, Mr. Mason.”
“Prince Carl welcomes you to the capital and wants to enjoy the best wine with you tonight.”
“This way, please, Mr. Mason.”
Neither young man spared a glance at the other as if the other party was invisible. Instead, they were respectful and polite to Sean.
Instantly, Sean understood the group on the left was sent by Prince Ashby and on the right, Prince Roscoe.
All the 40 men stood quietly while focusing on Sean, waiting for his response.
He could only choose either left or ride, which meant utterly different paths.
“Jade Restaurant, right?”
“OK. I’ll go.”
Sean smiled at them after hesitating for a moment. Then he lifted his foot.
However, he didn’t choose either side. Instead, he turned on his heel and strode away from them.
For a moment, all the men were taken aback. Their pupils constricted slightly.
They all looked baffled, wondering what was happening.
Sean’s reaction was out of their expectation.
“Mr. Mason, wait…”
“What do you mean, Mr. Mason?”
The two young men in the lead asked in unison.
Sean flicked his hand without looking back and chuckled, “I drove here myself. I can follow you guys. It’s a great honor to be invited by Prince Gerard and Prince Carl. I should drive personally to show my respect.”
As he spoke, he arrived at the parking lot behind the hotel.
The two young men exchanged a glance icily. In unison, they flicked their hands to other men and said, “Get in the car.”
“Let’s show Mr. Mason the way.”
Although they said so, they inwardly cursed Season for being too arrogant.
The two men were only the team leader of the two princes’ bodyguards, so they always fawned over their bosses. However, when outsiders met them, including the family masters and elders from the influential clans, the two young men were always flattered.
Sean was an exception.
They drove almost 20 luxury cars to pick him up, but he didn’t sit in any vehicles.
The two young men wondered if he hadn’t made a decision yet and wanted to buy some time or if he simply looked down on the bodyguards and was only willing to show his stance after meeting Prince Gerard and Prince Carl in the Jade Restaurant.
The more the two young men considered it, the unhappier they became.
Simultaneously, they said to themselves inwardly, ‘If this brat chose to join the enemy and be against our prince, I wouldn’t let go of him easily.”
Soon, a black Bentley Mulsanne left the parking lot behind the hotel.
One group showed the way in front, and the other followed Sean’s car, heading for Jade Restaurant.
…
Meanwhile, Mason Manor.
The magnificent main house was lit brightly. Bernardo was pacing back and forth uneasily in the hall like a cat on hot bricks. He was waiting for the update from Jade Restaurant.
Nora was also there.
Holding her golden walking stick, she sat on the couch with her legs crossed while closing her eyes for a rest. Unlike Bernardo, she was calm.
“Madam Nora! Master Bernardo!
They heard the abrupt footsteps. Bell rushed into the hall of the main house with the last syllable of his word.
“Here it comes.”
Bernardo stopped mid-step, yanked up his head, and gazed at Bell. His solemn face became stern. “How is it going?” he asked eagerly.
“Which side did that little bastard choose?”
At that moment, Nora’s eyes snapped open, full of ice.
