Chapter 123
Jacob was totally indifferent to Nicholas' greetings. So, Franklin took a step forward and did a fist pump too. He then replied, "You're welcome. My surname is Lynch, and my given name is Franklin. This is my son, Jacob."
Franklin Lynch and Jacob Lynch?
Which famous martial artist in Paramount has the surname of Lynch? Nicholas was thinking hard to himself.
Unable to recall even after thinking for a while, Nicholas' mouth tilted slightly. "Sorry, I guess I've been living under a rock."
"No, don't say that!" Franklin was trying to be humble. "We are just ordinary people, of course Master Loewe couldn't recognize us."
Ordinary people?
Anyone who heard what he just said must be thinking that he was kidding.
If Jacob is an ordinary person, then we will all be worthless ants and insects.
"Dad, what are we here for?" Nicholas seemed to be embarrassed to ask, so Jacob simply spoke for him.
"Ah, right. Look at me, always forgetting things when I start talking." He patted his forehead while laughing at himself.
After a while, Franklin gave Nathan, who was walking slowly towards them a grateful nod. "Today, we are here to thank Master Roman for saving my life. We got you a little gift. I hope you don't mind."
Thanks for saving their lives?
Nicholas turned to look at Nathan. "Master Roman, why haven't I heard from you before?"
With the help of Steph, Nathan waved his hand with a wry smile. "It's just a small matter, so I didn't bother to tell Master Loewe. Besides..."
He first glanced at Jacob with a sullen expression. Then, he looked at Franklin and shook his head. "Mr. Lynch, I have told you the other day. It was just a coincidence. I believe that all other martial arts masters would have taken the same action to rescue you."
"Anyway, it was you, Master Roman, who had helped us to subdue those evil people."
Franklin nodded and then said apologetically. "Actually, I should have came earlier, but I have plenty of things to deal with. So, please forgive me."
"Mr. Lynch, don't mention it...cough...cough!" Nathan's face turned pale as he coughed.
Judging by the look on Nathan's face, Franklin finally realized that the two young men standing behind Jacob were his subordinates.
He had gotten used to random men appearing out of nowhere after his son, who had been away for six
years, returned home. He no longer felt shocked or appalled.
But Franklin was totally embarrassed as Jacob's subordinates accidentally hurt Nathan before he could go and thank him.
Jacob calmly handed the gift to Steph awkwardly.
Steph subconsciously stretched out her hand. After a few seconds, she blinked her eyes, and gradually came to her senses. She frowned and stared at Jacob fiercely.
Jacob was angry, but he smiled out of respect for his father. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Nathan turned back to look at Nicholas. After a moment of silence, he said softly, "I'll scold them when I go back."
Scold them? Steph rolled her eyes.
Well, you might as well just remain silent! No wonder he looked so arrogant in the tower that day. Turns out, he had such powerful subordinates.
But since his subordinates are so powerful, why didn't any of them show up that day? If it hadn't been for Master Roman and some of our fellow apprentices who helped out, I don't know what would have happened!
In the end, he didn't say thank you. He even suspected that we were allies of those murderers. Huh!
