Lord Came Back From The Battlefield

“What did that man look like?” Osmond asked while taking a puff of his cigar.

“They were too far away from me, and they left quickly. And, and the man’s face was covered in blood, I didn’t get a good look, but I know that was a, a guy…”

Upon hearing this, Osmond let out a heavy sigh and narrowed his eyes slightly. So it turned out, there was a fish that got away back them.

“I… I only know this much, please… please let me go, I promise I won’t say anything…” The thin man coughed up another mouthful of blood before speaking. Without finishing his words, Brian stepped on his chest, making a crisp sound of breaking bones.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“Brian, are you sure that guy at Crown Hotel that day was not a member of the Miles family?” Osmond asked after glancing at the man on the ground.

“Yes! I know all the people in the Miles family, that was definitely a stranger face!”

“It seems that the remnant of the Miles family have known some influential people.”

“Uh-huh, Osmond, it’s pretty simple. I’ll go grab Fletcher’s daughter to ask her. Then we’ll know.”

“No, we should not get involved.” Osmond continued after a brief pause, “At Crown Hotel, he only mentioned the daughter of the Miles family who was forced to jump into the river, but he didn’t say anything about the Miles family’s extermination. Moreover, so many days have passed and he hasn’t come to our door. It’s very likely that he doesn’t know who is responsible for the Miles family’s affairs!”

“Got it!” Brian nodded after a brief moment of thought.

“Give it to Eddie to handle!” Osmond took another puff of his cigar before adding, “Tell him to take care of this personally. The fewer people who know about it, the better!”

“Okay.” Brian nodded and pulled out his phone to dial a number.

It was 11:00 AM. Zeph and his second son Robert, along with Beatrice, were discussing the Ozin Tower contract in his office at the Knight Group headquarters building. Normally, Zeph rarely came into the office as he had already handed over the position of CEO to Robert. He only held onto the title of Chairman. However, because the Ozin Tower contract was so important during this time period, he would come into work for meetings and discussions when he had free time.

“Beatrice, what did Gilbert say? Any new developments?” Zeph picked up his tea cup and took a sip.

“Grandpa, don’t worry. It should be soon. Gilbert said he had his dad talk to one of Ozin Tower’s department heads last night, and he has verbally agreed to help us negotiate with their company. If everything goes smoothly, we should have an answer in today or tomorrow.”

“Really? That’s great!” Zeph smiled happily. “If this is successful then you will be our Knight family hero! I’ll promote you directly as Vice President in charge of marketing for our group.”

“Thank you grandpa! This is what I should do!” Beatrice beamed with joy.

“So, how far have you gone with Gilbert? Although their family is not among the four major ones in Ozin, they are much stronger than our family. If you can marry him, it would be a good match for you.” Continued Zeph.

“Grandpa, I haven’t thought about it yet. No rush!” Beatrice laughed and replied. For her part, she had no intention of marrying Gilbert at all. She was only his girlfriend temporarily because she needed to use him. Her marriage goal was clear-she must marry into one of the four major families. As for who specifically to marry, it didn’t matter as long as they were a direct blood relative of one of the four major families.

Just then, Zeph’s phone rang and he picked up to hear his secretary on the other end.

“Don’t you know I’m in a meeting? What’s up?”

“Sir, people from Ozin Tower Investment Department are here specifically to sign contracts with our company and they requested Miss Knight to sign it personally.” The secretary’s voice was slightly excited.

“Really!?” Upon hearing this news, Zeph almost jumped up with excitement.

“Yes, I just took them to the conference room.”

“Good, tell them that Miss Knight will be there soon.” Zeph grinned widely

“Father, what makes you so happy?” Robert asked after Zeph hung up. He hadn’t seen his father so excited in ages

“It’s great news!” Zeph laughed heartily before turning towards Beatrice, “You’re such an auspicious star for the Knight family, Beatrice!”

“Grandpa, what’s going on?” she asked with a look of surprise.

“The people from the investment department at Ozin Tower came directly to the company and requested that you sign a contract.” Zeph continued to laugh.

“You should call Gilbert and thank him. Also, we’re inviting him to dinner tonight, so he must come!”

“What?!”

“What?!”

Robert and his daughter exclaimed in unison.

“Grandpa, is it true?” Beatrice asked loudly after a moment of shock.

“Of course it’s true. They are now in the conference room. Could it be fake?” Zeph responded with a smile.

“That’s great news!” Beatrice exclaimed excitedly.

“Isn’t this great news?” Zeph laughed again.

“The Guerrero family is really something. The people from Ozin Tower even made a special trip here just for us.” As Zeph spoke, he stood up and looked at Robert, “You should go back to your office and prepare yourself; we’ll go see them together later to show our appreciation.”

“Okay, Father.” Robert said with joy all over his face.

“Little girl, you make the phone call first, I’ll head back to my office now.” Zeph said as he smiled at Beatrice before walking towards the door.

“All right!”

Beatrice didn’t expect that this issue that had been troubling their family for half a year would be resolved in this way. she then picked up her phone and dialed Gilbert’s number.

“Thank you, darling!”

“Huh?” Gilbert on the other end was taken aback. “Why are you suddenly thanking me?”

“Don’t play dumb with me, you know why.” Beatrice purred.

“You asked your dad for help, right? Ozin Tower sent someone to our company, and I’m heading over there to sign the contract right now.”

“What?!” Gilbert exclaimed in surprise. He had never discussed anything about the Knight family with his father before today.

“Are you surprised too?” Beatrice giggled again. “Alright, I won’t keep you any longer. I’m off to sign the contract now. I’ll come over tonight and give you that position you’ve been wanting for so long. You know which one I mean.”

Then she hung up without waiting for his response.
