Chapter 716: When He Becomes King
These days, David has been following Harry Hunter around, being extremely cautious.His Young Master’s mood hasn’t been great these past couple of days, what with the top bodyguard being kidnapped; it’s like a blatant slap in the face to the Young Master!
Moreover, who knows how this news got out, as many are openly and secretly laughing at the Young Master.
The worst part is that Austin Winters even sent a provocative message, saying without his most loyal dog, Harry Hunter is just a toothless tiger, and he should stay home instead of going out, lest he gets beaten to death.
Who do they look down upon? The Young Master himself isn’t bad at fighting, you know? Besides, even without Connor, isn’t there still him? He’s quite formidable too!
In the group office, Ben Hunter sat across from his grandson, glanced at David standing guard nearby, and asked in a disgruntled manner, "Our Connor was kidnapped?"
"Yes."
"This kid was raised by me, Ben Hunter. Who’s the fool that dared to snatch my person?"
Harry Hunter’s voice was indifferent: "You’ve raised him so well all these years, yet you didn’t know he was the Prince of S Kingdom, and you have the nerve to ask me?"
Ben Hunter was stunned: "Is he really?"
"The King of S Kingdom wouldn’t take someone else’s child back home."
"Then I should go ask Flo for child support fees!"
When he bought Connor from the underground fight club over a decade ago, who could’ve known the kid was a Prince?
After buying him, Ben Hunter did investigate Connor’s background, but only found out about his foster parents, not his biological ones.
Ben Hunter didn’t care much at the time; the country was in chaos, and it wasn’t uncommon for parents to abandon or sell children they couldn’t afford to raise.
He said this while standing up: "I’ll have to make a visit. Flo abandoned him back then because he didn’t think much of him; we at least owe it to Connor to back him up."
Harry Hunter looked at him in surprise.
Ben Hunter couldn’t help but glare: "What kind of look is that? I care for that kid too, okay?"
Harry Hunter’s lips showed a hint of a smile: "Well, that’s good. As long as you’re going, I’ll be at ease. David, prepare a private jet for the old man!"
Seeing that his Young Master’s mood finally improved, David responded loudly and went out to prepare the plane.
After finishing work in the afternoon, when Harry Hunter went to pick up Isabella Weaver, even she could sense his improved mood.
She asked happily, "Is it because Connor can come back?"
"No."
Harry Hunter shook his head: "However, he can at least be better off."
Isabella Weaver’s smile slightly sagged: "He’s not coming back?"
"Maybe, when he becomes King."
Isabella Weaver inexplicably found this thought very empowering, and her smile reappeared: "Connor can actually become King; it feels like a dream!"
My heavens, they used to make the King drive them around every day!
Guilt-ridden! Guilt-ridden!
She held onto Harry Hunter’s arm, her eyes bright, filled with hope and curiosity: "Next time we see him, should we kneel before the King?"
Harry Hunter chuckled: "If he dares to make you kneel, I’ll break his leg!"
Isabella Weaver seriously patted his shoulder: "Young Master, you aren’t of higher status now; you can’t be so violent. The King’s leg isn’t to be broken at your whim."
Harry Hunter didn’t mind; he pulled Isabella Weaver over and playfully messed up her hair, then kissed her soft cheek.
However, losing Connor made him feel quite upset inside. Isabella Weaver had been very considerate these past few days, comforting him.
"Did I scare you these past few days?"
"No."
Isabella Weaver shook her head, but internally thought, wasn’t it scary? With an originally cold face becoming as frigid as eternal ice these days, almost never smiling even once.
Harry Hunter understood his situation: "I’m sure I frightened you, so I’m planning to make some amends."
