When Morty arrived, he felt the atmosphere here was quite stressful. However, seeing him arrive,
Jacob and others felt quite excited.
“Mr. Morty, why are you here? It’s quarantine area. You shouldn’t have come!”
Jacob had recovered a lot under the care of Joseph and others.
Morty was touched. Although Morty had always been cold and decisive, there was no way to control
that emotional feeling at such a time and under such a situation.
“Have you got better?” Morty asked.
He helped Jacob up.
“I’m much better. Thank you, Mr. Morty,” said Jacob.
When Olivia entered, she saw Jacob looking at Morty in excitement. She frowned.
She couldn’t quite understand how a soldier felt when seeing his boss after experiencing life and death.
However, she didn’t like seeing the scene, especially after she overheard something when Nicole was
calling Lucas on the phone. For a moment, she looked unfriendly to Morty.
“You must have forgotten the danger after recovery. You’ve been seriously injured. Why did you get
up? Do you have a death wish? Let me tell you. If you can’t recover, I’ll marry another man with your
son!”
Upon hearing it, Jacob looked embarrassed.
Morty was quite brilliant, and he naturally could sense that Olivia didn’t like him.
He cast a glance at her.
If it weren’t for Jacob, Morty wouldn’t think Olivia that important. However, considering Jacob’s current
identity, how much the Kent family had sacrificed, and the relationship between Olivia and Nicole, he
must tolerate her.
He couldn’t do anything as he must make up for the mistake made by his father.
“I agree. You should take a good rest, Jacob. I’m going to talk to Lucas and Joseph.”
Morty patted Jacob on his shoulder.
Jacob felt a bit awkward, but he couldn’t scold Olivia. After Morty left, he said in a doting tone, “He’s Mr.
Morty, anyway. Why don’t you care about his dignity? Aren’t you afraid he would make trouble to your
husband in the future?”
“Are you afraid of trouble? If it’s difficult for you to be a soldier, you’d better quit. If we go back, you can
also make a lot of money following Samuel. The baby and I won’t be worried about you. I wondered
why you have given up the good life but came to the overseas battlefield!”
Olivia’s voice was loud, so Morty heard her clearly.
He knew that if he couldn’t convince his soldiers here, his effort would be in vain in the past several
years.
He disdained that position in the past. However, he had too many burdens on his shoulders now. If he
still wouldn’t take that position, he would not even be able to guarantee his family’s life or death.
It’s not like Samuel and others needed his help but the other way around.
In the end, Morty realized that he was leading a life that he hated the most.
When Morty came, Lucas was looking for something online. When Morty came in, he didn’t stand up,
which Morty had been used to.
Sometimes, he even thought that only in front of Lucas he could be himself.
“How are you doing? Are you tired here recently?” he asked.
“Not bad.”
Lucas focused on working on the laptop. The firewall had been more and more fragile recently. He
wondered if the other party had used more men for the job. It was now quite tricky.
Morty handed him a glass of warm water. Lucas glanced at it and took a sip while letting Morty hold the
glass. Then he said, “If you want to take me away, you should let Michele come over. Otherwise, the
firewall here would crack down soon. The other party is quite skillful now. Except for Michele, I don’t
think others would be able to control it.”
Upon hearing it, Morty was slightly stunned.
He wondered why Lucas knew that he came over to take him away.
Thinking about Nicole and Samuel, Morty understood.
Among so many close buddies all over the years, Samuel knew him the most.
However, Morty wondered if it was the right decision to let Michele come over.
Although Lucas didn’t raise his head, he knew what Morty was worried about. He said indifferently, “No
worries. It’s safe here. For safety, she needs to be in quarantine for fourteen days. I know the rumors in
Country Z. If you are truly worried, you should send Silver Fox over. However, Silver Fox seems to
work for Sky Group. I don’t know what Mr. Howard would think.”
Morty’s mouth corners twitched.
“Your father threatened me, and so did you. Do you think it is a good idea? According to my father, he
wants to let you take over Night Elf Empire later. If you kept being like this, do you think I can make you
obedient to me in the future?” said he.
Lucas understood, slightly raised his eyebrows.
“Excuse me. Do you want to make me obedient?”
“Of course. Why? I’m your boss. I...” said Morty.
“In this world, only my future wife would make me obedient. Do you want to be my wife?
Upon hearing Lucas’s words, Morty almost choked up by his saliva.
“Ahem. Ahem... How old are you, Lucas? Isn’t it too early for you to think about having a wife?”
“It’s truly too early. But you are too old. I don’t want you. Besides, I’m straight,” said Lucas.
He lowered his head and kept typing on the keyboard. Morty didn’t know what to speak.
It seemed that he was ignored. How much he was respected in Capital City, how much he was ignored
here.
Joseph also heard what Aron had done to his parents. He couldn’t hold back his anger and came over
to Lucas’s room. He knocked on the open door and said, “Excuse me, Mr. Morty. Shall we talk?”
“Sure.”
Morty was quite reluctant. Cursing inwardly, he could only walk out.
He couldn’t afford to offend them at all.
If it weren’t that he must take that position, he wouldn’t need to suffer those things.
After walking out of Lucas’s room, Joseph leaned against a pillar in the corridor. His cold eyes looked
remarkably like Samuel’s.
Morty suddenly felt something wrong with his throat. He couldn’t help but cough.
“Mr. Morty, I’m afraid you are infected. Shall I take your blood?” Joseph asked in a cold tone.
Cold sweat oozed on Morty’s forehead.
“I don’t think so. I’ve just arrived here. Even if I were infected, it shouldn’t be so fast,” said Morty.
“For real? But I’m a genius in the medical field. If I said you are infected, I have the authority, don’t I? In
this world, it is not only the person in the highest position who could call white black.”
Upon hearing it, Morty couldn’t utter any beeps.
“Could we please talk nicely? I know you are venting your anger for your parents. I came here to make
it up for you guys. Your dad said he would beat me up. Could you and Lucas be more kind to me,
please? After all, I wonder if I could still stand up after coming back.”
Morty’s exact words eased Joseph’s anger a bit.
“If my mother isn’t willing to forgive you, I’ll make your infection come true. Believe it or not.”
Joseph lifted his foot and walked away as soon as he finished his words. Although he wasn’t quite tall,
the aura emanated from him sent a chill down his spine.
Morty rubbed his nose, feeling the whole thing so difficult. He was pretty worried now. It seemed that
neither Lucas nor Joseph was willing to leave here. He wondered what he could do to make Lucas go
with him reluctantly.
Should he use the honey trip?
He was considering about calling Michele over.
