Chapter 328 Blake's POV I had breakfast and was ready to go to the company to deal with some work.
Then I went directly to the airport from the company.
"Daddy, are you going out without Mommy?" Hedwig suddenly ran over and asked me.
I nodded. "Yes, I have a very important matter to deal with. I'm not going on a trip, so I won't bring Catherine. She'll stay with you guys at home." Catherine came over and held Hedwig's hand. Catherine smiled gently and said, "Hedwig, when Blake is finished with his business, he will return."
"Alright. Daddy, I will miss you. You must miss me." Hedwig blinked her big eyes.
I squatted and stroked her long hair. I promised softly, "Okay, I will miss you and Noah. You have to listen to Catherine at home. When I come back, I will bring you gifts." "Okay," Hedwig laughed happily.
I turned and left. I didn't want to leave when I sat in the car and looked at Catherine and the two children standing at the door.
In the past, I had rarely experienced this kind of separation, so I did not think that two days were long, but now that I had a concern, I began to feel that every second of separation was so hard to bear.
I handled a few important matters at the company in the morning. At 2:30 in the afternoon, I took my private plane and flew towards my destination.
I sat in the luxurious cabin, and the documents in my hand were thick.
I was serious and focused. Except for the people I cared for the most, no one could stop my passion for the work when I was working.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe plane quickly landed. I walked out of the airport with Dowen and a few pack guards. I immediately saw a middle-aged man with white hair standing in front of a limousine outside the airport.
My expression stiffened.
This middle-aged man with white hair was actually Richard.
Richard was not as proud and arrogant as before. He asked me with a self- deprecating smile, "Blake, can't you recognize me anymore?" Only then did I feel like I had been sizing him up for too long. I put on a fake smile. "How could that be? You have always been someone I admire. I can always recognize you at a glance." "Let's go. I've arranged a room for you." Richard walked over with a smile; his tone was very gentle.
"You seem to know my schedule very well. How did you do it?" I asked. I only mentioned to my family that I would go to see him. I didn't tell anyone in the company about it. So, I was curious.
Richard's answer surprised me.
"I called Patricia and asked about it," Richard said without hesitation.
I knew in my heart that it would not | be strange if Richard called Emerson and Patricia to ask this.
However, Richard had not called them before. How could he have the courage to call about my matters? That unusual behavior made me suspicious.
"Richard, I came over because there are some matters in the branch office I have to deal with. Thank you for your arrangements, but I have to solve the urgent matters first. Let's make an appointment for tomorrow afternoon.
When the time comes, I am willing to have a good chat with you." I did not dare to trust Richard, so I found a good excuse to refuse his offer.
Richard seemed to know that I would
refuse. He still smiled and said with a nod, "Alright, since you have important matters to attend to, I won't disturb you. Let's meet tomorrow at noon." I nodded. "OK." Dowen, standing behind me, quickly said, "King Blake, the car has arrived.
Shall we go now?" Dowen's words gave me a reason to leave. I immediately laughed, "Richard, unfortunately, I've got to go first." "Alright, let's talk another time." Richard watched as we got into the cars in front of us and left.
At that moment, Dowen and I were sitting in the same car.
Dowen had been my right-hand man
for only a few years, so he had never met Richard before. However, Dowen had seen Richard's photos several times. Richard in the photo was high- spirited and full of desire for power.
When Dowen saw Richard just now, he was shocked. It was because the Richard he had just met and the Richard in the photograph seemed like two very different men.
Dowen had the same thoughts as me.
In the past, I had thought that Richard and Emily were genuinely good to me.
Unfortunately...
"King Blake, what are you thinking about?" Dowen asked because I had just said a few words when I began to stare blankly.
My thoughts were pulled back to the
present, and I whispered, "I wonder if life in the werewolf prison is so hard." Se Dowen shook his head and said, "I believe that what made his hair turn white was not his life in the werewolf prison. It is probably because he has been thinking too much. He wants too much but can't get it. This is where his pain lies. And I bet Emerson and Nick had informed the werewolf prison to go easy on Richard. After all, Richard is a member of the royal pack. They didn't dare to abuse him." I nodded and sighed, "Yes, I know all of this. Emerson looks extremely disappointed in Richard, but Emerson still cares about Richard." "Emerson did those things behind your back. He must have only wanted to do
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhis duty as a father," Dowen said with emotion.
"Yes, so I pretended not to know this, and I didn't mention this. The relationship between father and son cannot be cut off. However, I think that Richard is destined to waste Emerson's painstaking efforts. This time he came out, he became more forbearing.
Perhaps he even hates Emerson," I said angrily.
When Dowen heard this, he asked in disbelief, "King Blake, how can Richard hold grudges against Emerson? They are father and son." I said mockingly, "Back then, Emerson made Marc inherit Lycan King's title.
Richard was not convinced. Although he was not an Alpha, he wanted to
become a Lycan King. Emerson sent Richard to the werewolf school to study, hoping that he would be less ambitious. However, Richard always feels that he is good enough to be a Lycan King." 'So, there was such a thing. Richard's thoughts are extreme. Even though his hair is all white, he is still unwilling to give up,' Dowen thought.
My face darkened as I voiced my speculation. "I always suspected that Marc's betrayal of Abigail had something to do with Richard.
Unfortunately, Marc is reclusive. I don't know many details." Dowen responded, "Yes, it has been a long time. It will be difficult to look into it." I looked sad and fell silent again.
"King Blake, don't worry. If Richard is related to this matter, we will be able to find clues." Dowen comforted me- "If it really has something to do with him, I will personally send him to the werewolf prison. I want him to stay there for the rest of his life." I clenched my fists.
"You are here to see if you can find clues about the matter back then, right?" Dowen suddenly asked.
I stared ahead and nodded. "Yes, I want to confront him. At the same time, I want to find some clues from him." Dowen looked at me. "You have great affection for Marc." [ knew that it would be difficult to
obtain the truth, but no matter what, 1 decided to deal with this ambitious Richard head-on. : "I don't think he was sincere in coming to pick you up. He just wanted to observe you," Dowen said hesitantly.
I nodded. "Of course, he wasn't. He just wanted to know how strong I became after so many years. Only by knowing the enemy well would one have a better chance of victory." "You have to be careful of him. I checked on his situation in the werewolf prison before. He is very good at buying people off. The people locked in the prison are all desperate rogues.
And this is his territory. You have to be extra careful, just in case," Dowen said worriedly.
I narrowed my eyes. Indeed, if Richard was unscrupulous and wanted to fight me at all costs, and I didn't have many people here.
"We have to be careful, so we have to put safety first this time." I dared not let my guard down and told Dowden to be ready.
