King’s Awakening - Chapter 409

Chapter 409: Chapter 409: Sana Robert’s Situation!
“Hudson was kind to me, let me fulfill filial piety on his behalf.” When White Mitchell said these words, his voice also trembled slightly.

Hearing this, Cooper, separated himself from the shock, his eyes gradually dimmed.

Although he had known about his son’s sacrifice for some time, hearing White again shook his emotions.

The elder, with white hair, sends off the younger, with black hair.

Even, over the years, he didn’t even know where Hudson had been buried, let alone visit him regularly.

Having this thought, Cooper stuttered: “Sir…..Sir, may I go see Hudson?”

White Mitchell didn’t refuse this request.

Hudson, after his sacrifice, was buried in the Heroes’ Cemetery in Capital City.

His identity, however, was disguised when he first joined the War Department, so no one knew who he was.

Silently buried in the Heroes’ Cemetery for five years, aside from White and Steel Turner, few visited him.

Now, when Cooper made this request, White Mitchell could not refuse, nor did he have a reason to.

Upon hearing the two men’s conversation, Sana’s eyes welled up instantly, extinguishing the hope she had just ignited.

She had wished so much for White to bring the news her father was still alive; unfortunately, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

After all, her father never returned.

Thinking of this, Sana’s entire face turned pale, and she looked as though her spirit had been drained.

“Miss Robert, the death of a person is irreversible; you must grieve appropriately. We, who are still living, must strive even harder to live so as to console the spirits in heaven.” Sherry, who had experienced the same, comforted her. Looking at Sana’s condition, she saw herself.

At this moment, White Mitchell led Cooper’s wheelchair silently into the yard where Cooper gazed at the apple tree in the courtyard and said: “This tree, Hudson planted it himself before he left for the War Department.

He said, he hoped to be like this apple tree, a part of protecting the Dragon Realm.

An apple tree, to shelter a family, a soldier, to safeguard an inch of land. Behind him, countless families of Dragon Realm, he was committed to do this.”

Hearing this, White Mitchell looked silently at the apple tree in front of him, sighed deeply, and said: “You should have made things clear earlier, so that we would not have been delayed, and you would not have been so troubled.”

Hearing White Mitchell’s words, Cooper dropped his head, sighed, and said “Hudson was doing something of great importance to protect his family and the country, as his father, I can’t disgrace him.

Actually, before donating to the White War Department, I didn’t think of much. I saw your team’s fearlessness overseas, and it reminded me of Hudson. After returning to my country, I wanted to make my small contribution, to give you, who guard our land, some assurance.

However, after the things in the family happened, I had to think more about Sana, so I did not mind to lose respect, I didn’t wan’t to face Hudson in the afterlife.”

Sigh…

Hearing this, White Mitchell couldn’t help sighing again, and his guilt towards Robert Family became even heavier.

After considering, White Mitchell solemnly promised: “Don’t worry, from now on, matters of the Robert Family will be my own. Anything that doesn’t conflict with my principles, I will assist unconditionally.”

This was White Mitchell’s promise to the Robert Family, and also a promise to the already sacrificed Hudson.

Hearing this, Cooper’s face finally showed a relieved smile, as if a great burden was lifted.

“Please tell me the current situation, who is pushing you to such extremes?” White Mitchell asked.

When Cooper heard this, he subconsciously looked at Sana who was not too far away, then responded somewhat solemnly: “Actually, this originated mainly from our own family.

Many years ago, after I had gained wealth, I tried to revitalize the entire family by myself. So, I brought my older brother and third younger brother into the group, putting them in positions of power.

Everything was calm when I was still healthy, but these two years, my health has been deteriorating day by day and my nephews have gradually become restless.

According to my investigation, my older brother’s son, and my third younger brother’s son, both have had dealings with several major factions in Capital City on their own accord, all in a attempt to seize Robert Family’s assets after I die.”

At this point, Cooper’s voice carried a sense of regret, as if he had invited the wolf into the fold.

Cooper continued: “Although I know they are contacting outsiders, I don’t have substantial evidence at hand, so even if I want to deal with them, I don’t have an excuse.

Now, nearly two-thirds of the executives in the entire corporation have been won over and are under their control.

Unfortunately, all of this was discovered way too late . . .”

Upon hearing this, White Mitchell made his judgement already.

In fact, seizing control of the evidence is not difficult with White Mitchell’s methods as he could easily obtain these by having the Suzaku War God network team take action.

What is truly difficult, are those executives that have already been swayed.

If one were to clean up all these executives, this would destroy the Robert Family.

But if these executives are not dealt with in time, it would mean slow death for the Robert Family.

Therefore, in dealing with this matter, it must be handled with both toughness and gentleness. It’s important to deter those executives but also not push them into reckless desperation.

“Leave this matter to me. Find an opportunity, let me meet your two nephews.” White Mitchell reassured.

Upon hearing this, Cooper nodded in relief. The promise from White Mitchell was more reassuring than a sedative.

Subsequently, White Mitchell and Cooper chatted for a while. After having dinner at the Robert’s, they returned to the hotel.

On the way back to the hotel, Sherry looked curiously at White Mitchell and finally couldn’t help asking: “Brother, are you hiding something from me? Where have you been these five years?

Did you really, as rumored, escape from prison? Otherwise, how would you know so many people I don’t know?”

Facing Sherry’s curiosity, White Mitchell laughed. He responded frankly: “Actually, I didn’t go to prison these five years. I received help from a master and went to the War Department and even became a commander.

How about this, do you believe me now?”
