After updating each other and knowing that they had truly lost Gerald, the men helplessly regrouped before reporting the incident to Lucian…
At the time, Lucian was entertaining Jobson and the others as they had their tea. As expected, upon picking the call up, his smile instantly vanished. A frown now on his face, Lucian then growled, “Get back here…!”
Hearing the clear change in tone, Jobson—who was enjoying some dessert—was prompted to ask, “Is something the matter…?”
“The men I sent out to help Gerald and Aiden have lost track of them, Senior Jobson!” muttered Lucian with a sigh. Still, to think that they’d make such an amateurish mistake at such a critical moment when they were key personnel of his family…
Laughing in response, Jobson then replied, “And here I thought it was something serious!”
“…Is this not serious enough? Gerald and Aiden are dealing with the military here… What if something happens to them?” said the worried Lucian.
“You truly underestimate that boy,” replied Jobson as he stuffed a cupcake into his mouth.
“While I know that he’s strong, this is the military we’re talking about… Aside from the traps that Maddox has probably already prepared for him, he also has access to powerful weapons…!” said Lucian as he considered calling his friend in the military to step in.
Extending his hand and cupping it over Lucian’s phone, Jobson then replied, “That’s exactly why I said you underestimate him. Correct me if I’m wrong, but Gerald alone was able to take out the respected elders of the three major families in Yanam, right?”
“I agree. Either way, let’s just wait for his return. Even if he fails to rescue her today, I’m sure he’ll be able to obtain some relevant news,” replied Jobson as he continued eating.
Realizing that Jobson was almost finished with his plate of desserts, Lucian turned to look at his butler before saying, “Get more dessert for Senior Jobson.”
“I’m good. While the desserts are good, I’m afraid I may get tired of them if I have any more. With that said, do you have any tea?” asked Jobson.
“Of course! Green or black?” replied Lucian with an enthusiastic nod…
