My Dreamy Old Husband -
Chapter 1165
Michael, who hated appearing in magazines, was caught and forced to appear in magazinesrecently. Moreover, he had to suffer through a variety of topless and seductive poses for the coverpage photos. However, Sophia's request was even more outrageous this time—he had to bring thepig along with him too.
After the second season of “Where Are We Going, Dad?’ aired, the whole country knew that he hadadopted the pig chosen by God. In one episode of “Where Are We Going, Dad?’, they even filmedhim in his house. As a result, everybody discovered how many pets he had at home, and he wasinstantly labeled as the “Rich Zookeeper"
As New Year's was just around the corner, everybody was preparing their knives to butcher theirpigs. On that note, Sophia’s plump and healthy pig had been missing for some time. The fans werestarting to worry and would check in on the pig's whereabouts from time to time.
Therefore, Michael not only had to take a photo with the pig but also receive an interview about hisexperience raising a pig. My experience?! Do you want me to talk about postpartum care for sows?!What do you mean by caring for the pig? Justin will personally butcher the pig as soon as it'sbrought back! I would rather tell the fans about my experience in making cured meat andsausages! However, this was a pet luxury goods magazine—he did not dare to do that. I feelaggrieved! Extremely aggrieved!
Unfortunately, Sophia was watching him intently. He had no choice but to awkwardly finish theinterview with the reporter. Fortunately, he somehow bluffed his way through it. After the interview,he and the pig took a rest while she hurriedly went to check the results of the interview.
He was emotionally exhausted at this point. Marrying my wife is equivalent to marrying a zoo! Ishouldn't have listened to Daniel's deceitful words back then. I shouldn't have gotten greedy justbecause Sophia was beautiful. What was I thinking... High quality but cheap? A one-off purchasethat comes with no baggage? Can be returned at any time? Lies! My wife and my daughter aregreat. However, my father-in-law is too troublesome. She also has a whole bunch of meddlingrelatives and a hostile younger brother.
Although the pig was back, Michael couldn't wait for it to be stolen away again. Sure enough; it wasstolen again two days after it was returned.
In Ronney City, Callum sent the pig back to Cethos for its magazine interview then quickly broughtit back again. It was going to be the New Year's in two months, so he gave the pig a new hairstyleand dyed its fur in an auspicious color. He planned to spend the New Year's with it.
Having grown up in the Yard Family, Calum and Cade had to deal with suspicion and betrayal all thetime. They went through a lot and bore too many burdens just to survive to this day. Therefore, theyno longer believed in humans and would rather raise a pet. Raising a pig was great—at the veryleast, it would never lie. They were having a lot of fun as they dyed its fur with their own hands. Allof a sudden, a servant came over and reported, “Mr. Edwards is here.”
Upon hearing those words, the siblings’ expressions changed drastically. Why is Jordan here?Jordan was a mysterious existence within the Yard Family. He was the real power holder of the YardFamily and held full control over the authority the Yard Family wielded. Anna was nothing but hisspokesperson. Under normal circumstances, he rarely appeared at the Ronney Palace as Anna wasonly a small part of his harem. He had many other women and children besides her. Despite hismany children, Callum and Cade, as well as Henry and Ryan, were the only twins. They had the rightto the inheritance of the Yard Family and were highly favored by him.
Naturally, there were others among Jordan’s many wives that had also given birth to twins before.Wanting to receive a share of the pie, they all ended up dead. Anna would never allow anybodyelses children to threaten her territory. Unfortunately, Henry and Ryan were loved by Jordan andwell-protected by their mother—so much so that she had never had the opportunity to get rid ofthem. But, it was different now.
Callum and Cade soon appeared in front of Jordan. They were neatly dressed as they respectfullygreeted him. “Father.”
Mere moments ago, they were dressed in shorts and slippers while playing with the pig in the backgarden. Upon hearing that their father was here, they became neatly and meticulously dressed in ablink of an eye. It was as if they were going to meet a superior, rather than their father.
Jordan went straight to the point as soon as he arrived. “Were you behind the grandmaster'sdeath?”
His gaze was sharp and he studied his two sons. At some point, these two sons of his had gottenmore and more difficult to control. It made him keenly aware that he was old. He was approaching60. On the other hand, these two were at their prime. They would completely replace him soon.When he learned of the grandmaster's death, he immediately knew that it was their doing.
In response, Callum and Cade exchanged a glance with each other. Then, they replied bemusedly,"Father, we don't know about it either. We only received the news about the grandmaster’s deathtwo days ago.”
Jordan stared at them while they spoke. His sharp gaze felt as if he was trying to pierce right intotheir souls; it carried such a powerful aura that it made one feel as if they were suffocating.However, Callum and Cade endured many similar gazes since they were young. They could nowremain calm and impassive under that gaze. Besides, they truly did not do anything to thegrandmaster. They were innocent.
"Was it really not your doing?” Jordan expressed his doubts. He did not trust anybody, not even hisown sons. Needless to say, his sons were not completely aligned with him either.
Callum suddenly spoke up in a slightly profound tone. “The grandmaster used Henry and Ryan'sblood to make a soul-suppressing charm. I wonder if something went wrong with the ritual. It mighthave shocked the grandmaster so badly that he jumped off the building. After all, the grandmaster'stwo sons claimed that he jumped down by himself.”
Although he did not believe in the metaphysical, it was no secret that Jordan's other two sons werenot part of the Imperial Yard Family lineage. From a metaphysical perspective, they were fakedragons and fake Dragon Blood would surely have failed to suppress demons.
Cade also lazily joined in, saying, “The grandmaster had some scratch marks on his neck. Perhaps,they failed to control themselves and pushed him down the building when the ritual failed. It's justone person anyway. They only need to use some money to cover it up, just like they always have inthe past.”
In the past, Henry and Ryan had behaved in the same way, running wild and doing as they pleased.They were regulars of the Devil Island, a place said to be outside the law—a hunting ground for thepowerful. Moreover, what they hunted were not beasts but humans.
Many people, who were about to die, would go to Devil Island and volunteer themselves as prey,receiving a large sum of money in return. As prey, they would be hunted by the nobles forentertainment. If they managed to evade for a period, they would receive another sum of moneyand obtain their freedom. If they died, they died. More importantly, their deaths were completelylegal—one could pay to kill legally on Devil Island. At the tender age of 20, Henry and Ryan werenot just regulars at the Devil Island, but they were already VIP platinum members.
Even now, Callum and Cade could not figure out who was behind the grandmaster's death. Perhaps,it truly was Henry or Ryan who lost control of themselves and killed the grandmaster in a fit of rage.After all, murder was nothing to them.
Jordan was silent. He probably believed what they said. Compared to his elder sons, his youngersons were far too lawless. I can't believe they dared to kill in Bayside City. Bayside City is not a placethey can run wild in! Sigh; I can only blame myself for spoiling them when they were younger. That'swhy they grew up so aloof.
After that, Jordan finally left in a hurry. Callum got up to send him off, the warmth in his eyesdisappearing as soon as Jordan left. What is he going to do? Don't tell me; is he going to Cethos tohelp Ryan and Henry take over the Cethosian market himself? If that's the case, he’s going to
leave Ronney City..
