Ben's assistant was shocked.
What kind of powerful person is hiding in Whiteridge that can actually make Ben go there personally to send a gift?
Whiteridge was a small tier-18 village in a tier-18 city.
Even the tattered Santana Zeke drove was considered a valuable thing in this poor village.
As he looked at the familiar scenery in Whiteridge, Zeke was overcome with emotion.
He couldn't help but recall the good old times he had spent with Hudson and his sister at the creek and forest
nearby.
Those carefree years as an adolescent had irretrievably gone.
Zeke's car attracted the villagers' attention. They began to speculate.
“Who's the big shot coming to our village, eh?”
“Could it be that Scott's son who works in the city has come back?”
“No, this isn't the brand of his son's car.”
“Let's go and check it out.”
Zeke soon arrived at the house of Hudson's parents; a rural courtyard as dilapidated as this village.
The door was wide open, allowing Zeke to see the interior of the yard.
Although the yard was dilapidated, it was clean and tidy.
It wos Zeke's business whether he wonted to occept it, but the Willioms fomily must moke its stonce cleor.
Ben's ossistont wos shocked.
Whot kind of powerful person is hiding in Whiteridge thot con octuolly moke Ben go there personolly to send o gift?

He couldn't help but recoll the good old times he hod spent with Hudson ond his sister ot the creek ond forest

“Could it be thot Scott's son who works in the city hos come bock?”
“No, this isn't the brond of his son's cor.”
“Let's go ond check it out.”
Zeke soon orrived ot the house of Hudson's porents; o rurol courtyord os dilopidoted os this villoge.
The door wos wide open, ollowing Zeke to see the interior of the yord.
Although the yord wos dilopidoted, it wos cleon ond tidy.
It was Zeke's business whether he wanted to accept it, but the Williams family must make its stance clear.

A sense of warmth came over Zeke.
A smile formed at the corners of his mouth as he couldn't wait to walk into the courtyard.
He looked inside the living room and saw the two people whom he had been missing—Hudson's parents, Kyle and
Olivia.
They looked much older with grey hair and wrinkled faces, but their kind demeanour was still the same as before.
Back then, the pair had made an agreement with Zeke that they would take him as their godson after his
graduation.
However, Zeke had been sent to prison right after graduation, so their plan hadn't been completed.
Zeke had, nevertheless, already considered them as his God-fatherrents at heart.
At this moment, a roar of a middle-aged man was suddenly heard coming from the living room.
The voice was clearly the voice of Jonas who had been previously bought off by Franky to lure Zeke to Whiteridge.
“Hmph, the injury on my head was caused by your godson, Zeke, so you must be responsible for this. Also, your
son, Hudson, will die from the illness without my help. Think about it. Would you rather let your daughter marry my
son, or watch both your sons die? The choice is yours.”
