chapter 24 I am father-by-affection

In East Jinghai, there was a not-so-large estate, that appeared simple yet exuded luxury at every corner. In the spacious tea room, Gavin Wang clenched his fists tightly. Due to excessive force, his hands trembled, his veins bulged, and his face turned extremely cold. His only son had been killed, and Gavin, who usually kept his emotions in check, couldn't conceal his anger anymore. After years of hard work in the business world of Jinghai, he had firmly established his foundation. Money was just a number for him. He had planned to hand over the company to his son by the end of the year and retire to a life of leisure. Now, with his son dead, what use was all the wealth? "Master, according to the information, Fernando killed the young master," the butler said, bowing his head and speaking softly. "Fernando!" Gavin's teeth gnashed, and his eyes almost burst with fury. He had heard of Fernando. When the Ye Family was annihilated by the Gu Family, there were rumors and rewards circulated within Jinghai. Gavin couldn't believe that a dog hunted everywhere, and dared to provoke him. "Unless I tear him into pieces, my heart won't find peace!" "Master, should we send William Gu and Samuel to capture Fernando?" the butler cautiously suggested. Gavin pondered for a moment and said, "Contact Isaac and have him take action." The butler was startled. He had been with Gavin for over thirty years, serving as his right-hand man. He knew who Isaac was. Isaac was the head of the underground forces in Jinghai, a man who valued money over everything else. Gavin had once invited him to join the Wang family as their Hatchet Man. However, Isaac's asking price was too high, and his unruly and arrogant demeanor made Gavin reconsider. "Master, having Isaac take action seems a bit excessive. Killing a single Fernando could be handled by William and Samuel," the butler suggested. William and Samuel were two other Supreme Martial Artist-level Hatchet Men in the Wang family. While Jack was responsible for protecting Miles, these two safeguarded Gavin's security. Having three Supreme Martial Artist-level Hatchet Men showcased the formidable influence of the Wang family, a force that the former Gu Family head dared not offend. Gavin slammed the table, roaring, "When did it become your turn to criticize me? Do you want to take my position? I'll have you do as I say. Get out!" This fugitive had been on the run for seven years. After returning, he managed to kill even Jack. Gavin couldn't fathom what this stray dog had experienced. For safety's sake, having Isaac take action would ensure Fernando had no way out. "Sure, I'll arrange it right away," the butler bowed and hurriedly responded. This was the first time in many years that Gavin had exploded at him. "Tell Isaac to name his price, but he must capture Fernando for me alive! I want him alive!" The one who killed his son must be dealt with personally, Gavin thought. He needed to skin Fernando alive, inch by inch, to relieve the hatred in his heart. ... In the vast night sky, the Black Hawk Helicopter was flying at an extremely slow speed. "Wow... I'm flying... Wow..." Zoey exclaimed with excitement. Brian hugged Zoey tightly and slapped the soldier on the head. "Damn, stabilize this thing! You scared my little princess." "Yes!" The soldiers were on the verge of tears. Their daily training involved highly difficult flights, and the Black Hawk Helicopter, with its special manufacturing, had immense horsepower. Its speed, agility, and combat capabilities were leading globally. The only drawback was its stability. "Uncle Brian, Mom used to say Dad was in a very, very faraway place, somewhere only planes could reach. Now I have a plane. Can we go there?" Zoey asked. She wanted to know what her mom meant by a very, very faraway place. "Sure... no problem," Brian spun around with his hawk-like eyes and said, "But, Uncle Brian has a condition. Only if Zoey agrees, I'll take you." "What condition?" Zoey asked. "You have to call me godfather," Brian grinned crudely, suddenly looking ridiculous. "What's a godfather?" Zoey's big eyes were full of question marks. "Dad's best friend is the godfather. Brian, your uncle, is your dad's best friend. So, Zoey, you have to call me godfather." Brian shook his head, explaining with a righteous tone. "Oh..." Zoey seemed to understand. "Remember? What should Zoey call me?" Brian rubbed his hands expectantly, with an eager expression. "Godfather," Zoey called out. "...Ah..." Brian's tears streamed down like a river, and snot flowed from his nose. The aircraft suddenly tilted, astonishing the soldiers. The ruthless "Bloodthirsty Demon King," who terrified everyone, now acted like a child, shedding tears and snot. If this got out, no one would believe it. "Let's go, Zoey. Godfather will take you there." Brian wiped away tears and snot, telling the soldiers, "I'm taking my little princess for an inspection around the Eastern, Southern, Western, and Northern Territories. Full speed ahead!." Finishing his words, he released a Genuine Energy Mask, wrapping Zoey in it. The Black Hawk Helicopter sped forward at nearly twelve Mach, a pressure Zoey couldn't withstand. With the assistance of Genuine Energy, it felt similar to an ordinary plane. If the others heard the little princess calling him "godfather," they would envy him to death. Just thinking about it made Brian impatient. On the ground, Colin and Nora were still staring blankly in the direction where the Black Hawk Helicopter disappeared. Their hearts couldn't calm down for a long time. "Fernando, where did your friend take Zoey? It's been so long, and they haven't come back yet?" Ella was starting to worry; her daughter had never been on an airplane before. Fernando chuckled and replied, "Don't worry, she's in good hands." With Brian around, the safety of their daughter was not an issue. Victor took out a satellite phone, exchanged a few words, and then walked over to Fernando, whispering, "Palace Master, Brian said he wants to take the little princess and tour Eastern, Southern, Western, and Northern Territories." Fernando couldn't help but smile. Brian seemed to spoil his daughter more than he did. Even with the Black Hawk Helicopter, circling these four territories would take a day. He had planned to take his daughter to school tomorrow. Well, he decided to postpone it for a day; his daughter had just recovered from a serious illness, and it was time to relax. Watching Ella constantly driving away rodents and insects at this moment, Fernando's body subtly trembled. With him at the center, an invisible ripple rapidly spread. Instantly, countless rodents and insects scattered in a swarm, madly fleeing in all directions, frightening Ella, who let out a startled cry. Seeing this, he made up his mind to move to a new place tomorrow, Fernando felt that letting Ella and Zoey stay here for one more day was more unbearable than killing him.
