The Dark King - Chapter 396

Chapter 396

"Master, should I find a doctor to check your arm?" Kroen looked at the bandaged left arm of Dudian . He said in a worried tone .

Dudian slightly shook his head: "My physical constitution is totally different with the past . I can't let the outsiders know about it . Unfortunately there isn't a trusted doctor we can rely on . At this point the best is to lick our own wounds . "

"We can ask a doctor come over for diagnose and then . . . " Kroen continued: "We may make it sure that he disappears . "

Dudian turned around and looked at him: "The idea is good . But its not worth killig a person . "

Kroen was surprised . Dudian reluctantly agreed to Gwyneth's plan to save the civilians living in a town outside the golden wall back then . Dudian had exposed his cold nature back then . So it was hard for Kroen to understand why Dudian didn't want a doctor to be killed . Kroen felt that it was hard to understand and read through the teenager that grew up with him in the orphanage .

Dudian's thoughts drifted away as he looked outside the window at rain . After a long time he asked: "How long has it been raining?"

Kroen bowed: "Master, today is the sixth day . "

"The sixth?" Dudian murmured: "The rains this year continued for much longer than usual . "

"Yes . "

Dudian sighed as he was silent for a moment: "After all, its going to stop, isn't it?"

"Yes, young master . "

. . .

. . .

The morning newspapers were delivered through the all three regions .

Rudolph was reading morning newspapers as he sat in his spacious office . This morning he had a hunch that something bad will happen .

His face got ugly as he read the newspapers from military, the Temple and other consortia . He threw the newspaper on the table . Rudolph pressed his hands onto his face to rub it . He felt an unprecedented tiredness . He took a deep breath and looked at the family's butler: "Tell me . . . Was I wrong?"

The butler was startled . He asked in a careful tone: "Master, what do you mean?"

Rudolph looked at him but it seemed he was thinking about something else: "Was I wrong by stopping Jennifer and that teenager get together?"

The butler knew about the news . He replied with the most appropriate words he could: "Master, the thing that you did . . . Father has responsibilities over their kids . Back at time he was just a small hunter . Moreover he belonged to the untouchable part of the population . He was a nameless person with no background . There was nothing he could held on but the feelings between him and the Miss . "

Rudolph slowly said: "True . But all my life I have been reading people but I didn't carefully observe and understand my daughter like I did with others . If I had contacted the teenager back then I would have seen his extraordinary capabilities . "

The butler stayed silent without saying a word .

"I carefully examine and observe the market, trend, the prices, materials and other aspects before making a business decision . " Rudolph whispered: "I have been observing and understanding those guidelines of business all my life . But in this task I failed . If I had given some tests or put forward some requests to the teenager then perhaps I would be able to see his potential . "

The butler sighed as he added: "Master, it has nothing to do with you . At the time he was just a black haired untouchable! He couldn't become an aristocrat how hard he tried . The only thing to blame is that the kid didn't show his talents back then . "

Rudolph slightly shook his head: "The hair color and identity are external factors . It was just external packaging of a commodity . When we do business we dig out the value of something that others think is worthless . That's how you earn huge profits . This time I was in the wrong . I just looked at rough cover of the teenager but couldn't see that there was gold wrapped inside him!"

The butler tried to comfort him: "Masters its useless to talk about these things as its been a long time already . Our family will thrive even without him . Your long-cherished wish of entering the inner wall will be achieved!"

"You do not understand . . . You do not understand . . . Mellon consortium is finished . . . Do you know why I have been withdrawing funds from the consortium and selling our family shares? It's because I know that Mellon consortium has offended a person who they shouldn't mess up with! It's just I didn't expect that his growth will be so rapid . . . "

"What?" The butler was stunned as he didn't know how to react: "Master, why would Mellon consortium be finished? How could that happen? Even though he has become a master of the Temple but decided the fate of the Mellon consortium . . . That . . . "

"I though that it was negligence from the prison when he made the jailbreak . But he has been able to raise and change the whole of commercial district in a short period of one year after his jailbreak . I go to various places and visit many chambers . The most often heard name is his . . . "

"A year ago he was just a prisoner! And now? He is the ideal lover of all noble ladies . He is the most wanted son-in-law of every family's! He would be hero of the public at the end of the war! Do you think that its just a coincidence? No! Impossible! It's not something that an average person can accomplish . Most wouldn't even have courage to make a jailbreak, assassinate a deacon . . . He is a madmad . . . A crazy genius . . . "

The butler felt creepy as he heard Rudolph's explanation .

At the same time a maid quickly went into the room: "Master there is a general who wants to see you . He is waiting for you in the hall . "

Rudolph was startled . He pondered about something and then sighed . He got up as his face became bitter . It seems that there were going to be problems and his hunch wasn't wrong: "Entertain him . I'll be right there . "

"Yes . " The maid retreated .

"Master, does military want to talk about the business of our consortium with you?" The butler curiously asked as he handed the coat .

"There is no need for a general to come forward for such a thing . "

. . .

. . .

George and Mark were discussing things at the conference hall in their castle when the butler interrupted them . He said in a haste: "Master, young master! There is a general waiting for you in the hall . "

"A general?" Mark frowned: "You go ahead . We will be there soon . "

"Yes . "

Mark looked at his father and asked after the butler retreated: "Father, is it possible that assassination was revealed as the military sent a general? But it shouldn't be . Even if they were able to get all the information from the 'shadow' they can't link it back to us . I've already prepared for this . "

"We will check it now . " George got up as he pondered .

Both of them came downstairs to the hall .

"General Keith, which way the wind has blown today?" Mark laughed as he asked the middle-aged general who was standing in the hall . He raised his hands to greet him .

General Keith didn't reach out his hand to grap Mark's . He coldly looked at him then slowly looked at George who was still walking down the stairs: "Both of you please cooperate with me and come to military's base . This is your arrest warrants!" He raised the papers in his hand .
