Chapter 128
The next day, after notifying Penny and the rest of the family, Nathan and Thomas Dunn took a flight to Alberesque.
Whereas Colin, the Elite Eight, and the two thousand soldiers in the Dragonfury Special Forces flew there by military aircraft.
When Jackson Quelch heard that Nathan and Thomas were heading to Alberesque, he was in disbelief and surprised at the same time.
The disbelief was because Nathan and Thomas had provoked the Zabinski family, and yet they had the gall to set foot in Alberesque. Did they not know that the Zabinski family were based in Alberesque?
He was also surprised as they would be on the Zabinski’s turf and would be easier to deal with.
Jackson immediately rounded up three hundred men from his Incandescent Security Services and they all headed to Alberesque.
He was itching to put on a good performance and get revenge for Mr. Jerry.
After Nathan and Thomas arrived in Alberesque, they assumed the identities of regular soldiers and went to visit the families of their fallen comrades.
When they met with the families, Nathan made sure he observed in discrete whether they were facing any difficulties.
If so, he would took a mental note and have Colin take care of it.
In the afternoon, Nathan and Thomas arrived at Aaron Forst’s house.
When Aaron died, Nathan had ordered for the death gratuity to be doubled, which came to two million.
He had also topped up another million from his own pocket, then had Colin delivered it to Aaron’s parents.
And yet when they arrived at his house, they were taken aback by the condition of the dilapidated house in front of them.
The purpose of the death gratuity was so that the family members of the fallen soldiers could worry less about their financial situation.
And so why was the Forst family living in such a rundown place?
Nathan furrowed his brows and led Thomas to the front door.
The door was wide open, and they could vaguely hear sounds of people having a shouting match in the living room.
As it turns out, Aaron’s parents, Eddy and Bianca Forst, were in a fight with their nephew, Alexander Forst.
Aaron was Eddy and Bianca’s only child. So after Aaron died, their lineage also stopped with him.
The couple couldn’t help but worried that when they themselves passed on, no one would take care of their funeral arrangements and other affairs. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
So they considered adopting their nephew in name, and have him be their surrogate son.
This was supposed to be a good thing, but as it turned out, Alexander Forst was a lazy, good-for- nothing bum who was also a gambler.
These past two years, Alexander’s losses were in the millions. And each time he needed money, he would pay a visit to his surrogate parents.
And thus all of Aaron’s death gratuity was spent on paying off Alexander’s gambling debts.
However, Alexander never learned his lesson. Just recently, he racked up another debt of around three hundred thousand. With his back against the wall, he came to the Forsts for money again.
Bianca wailed as she tried to cope the grief, “Just what did we do to deserve all this?”
Alexander pursed his lips and answered. “Mother, there’s no point in crying. I’m gambling so I can have money to look after the two of you when you’re old. It’s not my fault that I was having an unlucky day. Just hurry up and give me the money.”
Eddy was furious. “We must’ve been blind to have you put under my name! There’s no more money left! Get lost now!”
Alexander frowned. “Father, I may not be your biological son, but I’m still your son!”
Eddy’s expression hardened. “You’ve gambled away all our money. We are broke! Get out of this house right now!”
“This time, I owe money to Big Brother Baron! If I don’t pay them in time, they’ll kill me,” yelled Alexander anxiously.
“You have brought this on yourself.”
Alexander grew desperate. “Dad! Mom! Think about this! If anything happens to me, then no one will take care of your funeral and other affairs. You won’t even have a proper burial!”
