King’s Awakening - Chapter 397:
Chapter 397: Chapter 397: The Truth Revealed!
Huh?
As soon as Jayden finished speaking, the whole scene went quiet.
All eyes involuntarily fell on White Mitchell.
Recognize White Mitchell?
What’s going on?
Did White Mitchell just say that the ceremony was held for him and he wasn’t lying?
The crowd looked at each other, their gaze filled with confusion.
At the same time, upon hearing this, the members of the Jones Family stood frozen like they had just been struck by lightning. Their faces involuntarily lit up with burning humiliation, as if someone had slapped them a few times.
“Mori Jones, did I hear it wrong? Is the recognition ceremony really for White Mitchell? Could White Mitchell really have…” Amanda said in disbelief, she had been suspecting that White Mitchell might have a concealed background, but Mori Jones and others ruthlessly disputed it.
Unexpectedly, not many days had passed, and such a thing happened again.
This is exactly the same as the previous few times.
Amanda, in her heart, wouldn’t believe that White Mitchell didn’t have any connections or background.
But unfortunately, even though the facts were right in front of them, Mori Jones and others chose not to believe it and acted like blind men.
With this situation happening again, how could she not doubt?
After Mori Jones heard Amanda bringing up the possibility of White Mitchell having connections again, he immediately flared up in anger and fiercely glared at Amanda.
Never try to wake up someone who is pretending to sleep.
Right now, this was the case with Mori Jones. Even with facts in front of him, he would not believe that White Mitchell really had an amazing background.
“Jayden, you say you want to recognize him? Well, let’s hear it. What are you recognizing him for? If you don’t give my Jones Family an explanation today, I will not let this matter rest, even if it causes a stir in the Elders’ House!” Lisa Jones said in a threatening tone.
Hearing this, Jayden sneered again, and then said forcefully in front of everyone, “Some time ago, the Weiden Family ran wild, causing Sayon to become unstable. I believe all of you present should have heard some of this, so I won’t go into details.
Today, we called for this recognition ceremony just to acknowledge the people who have made outstanding contributions in dealing with the Weiden Family matter.
This person is Mr. White Mitchell. Without him, our Martial Department would not have been able to easily eradicate the tumorous Weiden Family.
I declare, starting today, Mr. White Mitchell will be a distinguished guest of our Martial Department, treating him is like treating me!”
Wow!
Treat White Mitchell like they would treat Jayden?
As soon as the words fell, there was an uproar at the scene, and everyone’s eyes blinked with envy.
Such an honor is probably unique, not only in Sayon but throughout the Dragon Realm.
Remembering how they had looked down on White Mitchell just a while ago, thinking that he was nothing more than an unknown youngster, everyone’s faces just burnt.
This…
And at this moment, Sherry, who was still standing behind White Mitchell, looked at White Mitchell with a puzzled face, and said incredulously, “Brother? What on earth is going on? Did you handle the Weiden Family matter yourself? Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
Upon hearing this, White Mitchell gave a faint smile.
Although he had known before that Jayden would reveal the truth to the public, the last sentence spoken by Jayden caught White Mitchell by surprise.
Although Jayden’s words cannot even be considered as icing on the cake for White Mitchell, Jayden’s willingness to do this showed his determination.
You have to know that White Mitchell’s identity has not yet been publicized, and it cannot be completely publicized. In this way, Jayden’s face-to-face confrontation with Lisa Jones will inevitably lead to retaliation from Lisa Jones.
The strength of the capital city’s wealthy families is not something ordinary people can imagine. Even Jayden, as the supreme commander of the Martial Department, would probably be under tremendous pressure.
White Mitchell appreciated this kindness, and would repay it if he had the chance in the future.
Having thought of this, White Mitchell pretended to look helpless and said, “I said before that I don’t need the protection of the Jones Family from the Capital City, but you didn’t believe me, did you?”
When Sherry heard this, her face instantly turned red, and she felt a bit guilty.
“Silly girl, believe me now? Do you still want to give the project of Nezzi city to them?” White Mitchell teased.
Upon being reminded by White Mitchell, Sherry quickly reacted and anxiously said, “No, absolutely not. The Weiden Family matter has nothing to do with them, they certainly can’t have it.”
Sherry knew the importance of the Nezzi new city project. Now that things are clear, she felt a little more confident.
But soon, another problem came before Sherry.
Since the Jones Family now controls the project of Nezzi new city, although it is possible to regain the project through lawsuits.
However, given the Jones Family’s style, it might not be that simple.
By that time, they will undoubtedly have to wrangle with them. If the project of Nezzi new city is delayed because of this, it would be more harm than good.
Thinking of this, Sherry’s face turned solemn. But at this time, White Mitchell just smiled and said, “Don’t worry, just keep watching.”
Keep watching?
Sherry was stunned, a little slow to react, but at this moment, Jayden, who had already revealed the truth, indeed cast his eyes on Lisa Jones and her team and said loudly, “Lisa Jones, Miss Jones, is there nothing you want to say at this point?”
Lisa Jones frowned, glared fiercely at White Mitchell who was standing behind her, and chose to remain silent.
Jayden saw her reaction, immediately sneered, then continued, “Alright, since you don’t want to speak, then let me speak for you. Don’t blame me for disrespecting the Jones Family from Capital City!
Everyone, please open your eyes and take a good look at Miss Lisa Jones from the Jones Family of the Capital City.
It is she who fabricated facts, exploited and coerced, attributed the Weiden Family matter to their so-called wealthy family influence, and forced Miss Sherry Jones to give them the Nezzi new city.
I have already investigated. The Jones Family in Sayon, forged a contract, took advantage of Lisa’s influence and persecuted Miss Sherry Jones!”
Wow!
The crowd was in uproar again, their eyes swiveled towards the Jones Family.
Mori Jones was immediately flustered, urgently trying to defend himself, “Commander Jayden, your claims need to be accurate, when did we ever persecute Sherry? We did not do it, the Nezzi new city project, she voluntarily handed it over.
We didn’t force her to sign any counterfeit contract, the contract was clear, we did not …”
Mori was nervously talking nonsense. If this crime was established, wouldn’t he have to hand over the Nezzi new city project?
Having just enjoyed the high life for a few days, how could Mori Jones be willing to part with it so easily?
However, Jayden did not give him the opportunity to explain at all, he directly ordered, “Still stubborn? Seems like you won’t shed a tear until you see the coffin, huh? Send the person up here!”
