The Fearsome Dragon Warrior

Chapter 32

"Don't even think about it!"

Franklin glared and shouted, but soon after Suzie went into her room, he whispered, "The six million is from Leonard. I don't know the reason behind this, but since the money had been sent to our house, it now belongs to us!"

After a while, he continued, "This time, I won't give you a single penny, but you and Janelle can take all the money if Leonard is going to send us money again next time!"

Jacob smiled a mischievous grin and said, "He also gave us a piece of land."

"Right, a piece of land!" Franklin nodded. The next second, he stared at his son and exclaimed, "How do you know that there is a piece of land?"

"Let's drink! Cheers!" Janelle was drunk. She lay on the dining table.

Jacob shook his head. He stretched out his right hand and gently stroked her neck.

"A lady shouldn't drink too much" Franklin reprimanded his daughter like a mother.

He turned and looked back at his son. He stared at him and asked, "Jacob, how did you know..."

Jacob looked at his father with a solemn expression. "Dad, no matter what kind of person I have become, I will always be your son!"

"Nonsense!" Franklin replied. "Your mother and I gave birth to you, of course you are my son!"

The next second, he asked Jacob nervously, "Did you got into trouble again?!"

Jacob shook his head in disbelief. "No! Actually, I was the one who asked Leonard to give us the six million and Rowan Lane. To be precise, he gave us the money and the land because of me."

"You asked Leonard to give us the money and land?" Franklin gave Jacob a look of disbelief. "Leonard is not a fool. Why would he give you just because you asked him to?"

Jacob frowned. "He had to if he wanted to survive."

"Son, what have you done?" Franklin was worried while looking at Jacob's emotionless face.

Jacob lowered his head, "Don't worry, Dad. I am now fully capable of protecting our family!"

After a moment of silence, Franklin patted Jacob's shoulder. "I don't expect much from you guys. I only want you and your sister to stay safe."

"We will." He nodded.

More than half an hour later, at the gate of the courtyard…

"Come home and stay with us," Franklin told Jacob. "Your aunt was just in a fit of anger. Now that she has six million, she shouldn't be as angry as she was earlier."

Jacob smiled and said, "Go home, dad. Two women are waiting for you at home."

"Forget it. You're a grown-up now. You should have your own thoughts. I won't say anything else." Franklin waved and turned around sadly, "Come visit us when you're free."

Seeing his father no longer standing tall, Jacob held back his tears and replied, "Sure, I will."

After the door closed, Jacob turned and walked away.

Jacob walked to the banyan tree and asked, "Who is on duty today?" After he finished speaking, Shadow Ranger appeared like a ghost: "Greetings, my Lord!"

Jacob nodded, then instructed, "Tell Leonard to finish his job before sunset tomorrow."

"Yes, my Lord!" Shadow Ranger bowed. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Jacob waved and asked Shadow Guard to retreat. After that, he walked on the bluestone-paved road at Rowan Lane just like he did back then.

It was a cold and quiet night.
