King’s Awakening - Chapter 406:

Chapter 406: Chapter 406: Heading to Capital City!

“Sherry, are you telling the truth? The main branch really wants you to be the head of the third branch?”

In the Jones Family villa, White Mitchell and the others sat together. The one speaking was Mori Jones, but from her tone, there was no hint of joy, only strong concern.

“Sherry, perhaps you shouldn’t go. The pool in Capital City is too deep. The main family suddenly asking you to take on this position, they probably have a sinister intent.” Wen Zhihui worriedly advised from the side.

Eighteen years prior, she had gone to Capital City with the then-living Logan Jones to participate in the so-called annual family gathering.

But the experience from that visit had left an indelible impression on her heart.

In the prosperous Jones Family, their small branches had no status to speak of. Even their dining arrangements were not considered. They were shunned and suffered injustices everywhere.

Now, Jones Family in the Capital City had specifically named Sherry Jones to take on this position. There must be some untold secret behind this.

“Yes, Sherry, maybe you should refuse. Us going to Capital City, let alone controlling the masses, the waters there are too deep. A moment of inattention might lead us into dire straits.” Mori Jones also advised.

Facing the persuasion of both, Sherry Jones’ brow was deeply furrowed, indicating some hesitation.

However, her hesitation was not due to coveting the position of the head of the third branch, but because of the order of the Jones Family.

She had once experienced the strength of the Capital City Jones Family through Lisa Jones, and Lisa was merely the daughter of one of the branches there.

The order this time came from the ruler of the Capital City Jones Family, Andrea Jones!

Her tactics, she feared, were even more ruthless than Lisa’s.

If she defied her order and did not serve in the Jones Family, White Mitchell and the others were likely to get implicated.

Thinking of this, Sherry Jones, in order not to worry the family, forcibly squeezed a smile onto her face and looked at everyone as if nothing had happened and said, “Mom, Auntie, you don’t need to worry about me.

This order came directly from the clan Chief. She thinks highly of our Sayon branch. That’s why she asked me to take on this position.

Moreover, I haven’t truly experienced the prosperity of Capital City. Therefore, I want to give it a try. If I can make a name for myself there, I can bring you all over.”

“But…”

Seeing the firm look on Sherry’s face, sympathy filled the faces of Mori Jones and Wen Zhihui.

They knew that a significant reason why Sherry Jones was doing this was because of them.

At this time, White Mitchell, who hadn’t spoken before, smiled and reassured everyone, “Don’t worry. Once in Capital City, I will protect Sherry. I will ensure her safe return.”

Upon hearing this, Mori Jones and Wen Zhihui exchanged looks and both helplessly forced a bitter laugh.

Since Sherry Jones and White Mitchell had spoken thus, they had nothing more to insist upon.

“You two, don’t just busy yourselves with work. Spare some time and give me a bouncing baby boy soon.” Mori Jones changed the subject.

Well… this…

The sudden change in the topic left White Mitchell with a dumbfounded expression on his face.

Meanwhile, Sherry Jones, sitting on the side, had already turned beet red.

Seeing this, White Mitchell, with a profound look on his face, glanced at Sherry. It seemed they needed to start planning a family soon. Being an Army Master himself, he needed to set a good example for the old fellows of the Four Great War Gods.

At this moment, Sherry Jones couldn’t help but steal a glance at White Mitchell. Her flushed face then turned even redder.

That very night, Sherry Jones began packing, ready to set off for Capital City the next day.

Meanwhile, White Mitchell took advantage of the night and headed directly to the Nezzi Headquarters.

“How’s the information from the Jones Family in Capital City?” Arriving at the Nezzi Headquarters, White Mitchell wore a stern expression.

Upon hearing this, Azure Dragon immediately informed White of the Jones Family’s situation.

Andrea Jones?

White Mitchell squinted, his deep eyes revealing a sharpness as if they contained the stars and the sea.

“Andrea Jones is a very savvy woman. Among the younger generation of many influential families in Capital City, she’s the only one who could become the Family Head.

Ever since she took over the Jones Family, not only was she able to control the entire family in a short time, but under her leadership in the past few years, the family also recovered from its decline and began to progress steadily.

A pity that the Jones Family’s foundation in Capital City isn’t strong. Otherwise, with her abilities, many of the older generation in Capital City would have to submit to her.” Azure Dragon analyzed.

After hearing this, White Mitchell nodded quietly, taking note of Andrea Jones.

If Andrea Jones stayed out of his way and did not provoke him, then everything would be fine. She could continue being the Family Head and he would mind his own business.

But, if Andrea dared to use Sherry and provoke him, then he wouldn’t mind getting the Jones Family a new Family head.

“Tomorrow I will set off for Capital City. Keep a close watch on Sayon. If anything happens, report it to me immediately.” White Mitchell instructed.

Hearing this, Azure Dragon’s eyes revealed a trace of reluctance.

But he understood the responsibility he bore, and avoiding sentimentality, he promised White Mitchell directly, “Don’t worry, Superior. Sayon is under my watch. Nothing will go wrong.”

After receiving Azure Dragon’s promise, White Mitchell prepared to leave Nezzi Headquarters.

But at this moment, Kylin silently followed him.

“Are your injuries healed?” Without turning his head, White Mitchell asked directly.

Kylin laughed awkwardly and scratched his head, “Mostly healed, Superior. This time going to Capital City, don’t leave me behind. I still want to stay by your side to learn more.”

“Get lost! As the commander of the Middle Region’s headquarters, you haven’t appeared there for so long. Are you tempting me to dismiss you!? Go back first thing tomorrow morning, don’t let me see you until your injuries are fully healed!” White Mitchell said indifferently.

Upon hearing this, Kylin heaved a sigh of helplessness. Watching White Mitchell slowly fade away, he silently gave him a military salute.

…

The next day at noon, White Mitchell, accompanied by Sherry Jones, showed up at the airport.

Seeing the two about to depart, Wen Zhihui broke down in tears, while Mori Jones’ face was full of reluctance.

But, after seeing them off for a long time, they had to say goodbye. In the end, White Mitchell and Sherry Jones did get on the plane to Capital City.

When their plane landed at Capital City Airport, it was already past six in the evening. The November air in Capital City had a chill to it.

Sigh!

Setting foot on the land of Capital City again, White had a mix of feelings. Memories from eighteen years ago flooded his heart like a tidal wave. It was something he could not, would not forget.

Taylor Family, Mitchell Family, are you ready!?

I look forward to seeing you again!

While White Mitchell was reminiscing, a figure quietly approached him and whispered, “Young Master, your second uncle has sent me to meet you.”
