Lionel Yeager shook his head repeatedly and said, "You both are overpraising me. This is not my sole accomplishment."
This merit should be attributed to all the brothers and sisters who participated in the operation this time."
Whether it’s destroying the Eight Huge Tower or saving the ten academicians, they have paid too much."
As for the State Scholar Sheridan, I can’t take the responsibility."
Yeager and Solomon Levin looked at Lionel Yeager with even more admiration.
Solomon laughed and said, "Kid, it’s rare for someone your age to have such a calm and unassuming personality and not be greedy for merit.
But don’t be humble, Martin Jules has already told me everything that happened.
You deserve the leading merit this time, and you can handle the title of State Scholar Sheridan."
Lionel asked, "You must be the famous Dragon Commander, right?"
"What Dragon Commander or not, I’m just an old fella on his last legs."
Solomon laughed and waved his hand, saying, "If you don’t mind, you can call me Grandfather Levin in the future."
"Alright, Grandfather Levin!"
Lionel nodded with a smile.
After all, the old man in front of him was his Fourth Senior Sister’s grandfather, and he naturally had to respect him.
Boris Moore patted Lionel on the shoulder and said, "Brother Yeager, this operation’s leading merit belongs to you, so don’t refuse!"
Earl Cobb also said, "That’s right, that’s right. You saved my life. If you don’t take the leading merit, I’ll be the first to disagree!"
Lionel couldn’t help but shake his head with a wry smile.
He really didn’t think about getting any merit or becoming a State Scholar Sheridan.
Seth Yeager glanced at the time and said, "Alright, it’s getting late. Let’s stop chatting here."
We’ll head back to Kyoto first, and we can eat and chat later."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Afterward, Seth Yeager led Lionel and his party by car away from the port.
More than an hour later,
Lionel and his party arrived in Kyoto and came to a restaurant called Mountain and Sea Building.
This restaurant is located in a courtyard and specializes in private dining. It has a hundred-year history.
To eat here, you have to book several months in advance.
Therefore, those who can eat here are either rich or noble.
Everyone took their seats.
Dish after dish of exquisite cuisine was served.
Seth Yeager personally opened a few bottles of Special Offer Beer and filled the glasses of Lionel Yeager and others.
Then, he raised his glass and said loudly, "This first glass of wine, I toast to everyone!
Thank you all for everything you have done for our country. I am eternally grateful!"
Lionel raised his glass and said, "Mr. Yi, you don’t have to thank us so much!
It’s an honor for us to contribute to our country!"
Earl Cobb also raised his glass, "Even if we have to climb mountains of knives or descend into a sea of fire, we are willing to serve our country!"
"To all the heroes, cheers!"
Solomon Levin raised his glass full of pride.
Everyone raised their glasses as well.
After drinking the first glass,
Seth Yeager poured everyone a second glass of wine.
He raised his glass and said sternly, "The second glass of wine is also for all of you!
Our East Nation is fortunate to have young heroes like you who hold high ideals and stand on your own feet. It’s a blessing for our country!"
Everyone also raised their glasses and drank the second glass of wine.
Afterward, Seth Yeager poured everyone a third glass of wine.
He raised his glass once again, and said with conviction, "The third glass of wine is still a toast to all of you!
I hope you will continue your efforts and contribute your strength to the prosperity and development of our country!"
Everyone was in high spirits, raising their glasses.
After drinking three glasses of alcohol.
Everyone enjoyed the dishes, drank, and chatted.
The atmosphere in the entire private room was very pleasant.
However, Emmitt Cobb was the only one who felt restless and had no appetite, and he was too embarrassed to toast with Lionel Yeager.
Emma Cobb wanted to toast Lionel Yeager several times, but after raising her glass a few times, she still put it down.
Earl Cobb also noticed something was wrong.
However, he didn’t ask too much, and planned to ask what happened after dinner.
It wasn’t until about nine o’clock in the evening that they finished dinner.
After dinner, everyone left one after another.
Phoebe Levin said, "Mullen, why don’t you and Lily Tisdale stay at our Levin Family Manor tonight?"
Earl Cobb grinned, "Brother Yeager should stay at our Cobb Family Manor if he wants to go anywhere!"
Lionel Yeager shook his head, "Fourth Senior Sister, Brother Cobb, thank you for your kindness, but we still plan to stay in the hotel for more freedom."
Phoebe Levin nodded, "If you have nothing to do these days, I’ll take you to have a good time in Kyoto."
Then, Phoebe Levin arranged a car to send Lionel Yeager, Lily Tisdale, Bardon Bard, and Prajna Bates to a five-star hotel in Kyoto, the Grand Hyatt Hotel.
Lionel Yeager took a shower, sent Julia Stewart a message on his mobile phone, and then sat on the bed to cultivate.
Although his cultivation had already reached the Spirit Concentration Stage, he still felt it was not enough.
If his strength was strong enough, he wouldn’t have been half-dead from the joint attack by the four major divine ninjas and those old fellas.
If it hadn’t been for Brother Moore arriving with reinforcements in time, he might have lost his life.
So, he needed to become stronger, even more powerful.
After all, after returning home this time, he planned to take action against the Ten Thousands of Swords Gate and Witch God Sects.
As long as these two sects existed, he and the people around him would never have peace.
A phone call came to his mobile phone.
He picked up the phone and saw it was from Julie Stewart.
Why would Sister Betty suddenly call him?
It wouldn’t be a problem, would it?
Lionel Yeager quickly answered the phone.
"Sister Betty, why are you calling me late at night? Is there something wrong?"
"Mullen, are you in East Nation right now and are you busy?"
Julie Stewart’s gentle voice came through.
However, her tone was slightly anxious.
Lionel Yeager said, "Sister Betty, I just returned to the East Nation today, and I’m not busy. What’s wrong?"
Julie Stewart said, "Mullen, can you please come to Fragrance River?"
"Go to Fragrance River?"
Lionel Yeager was taken aback and asked doubtfully, "Sister Betty, why do you want me to go to Fragrance River?"
Julie Stewart pleaded, "Mullen, please save my mother."
Lionel Yeager was suddenly surprised, "What happened to Auntie?!"
Julie Stewart choked up, "My mother has been in a coma for a long time due to a car accident many years ago.
Over the years, the Arthur Family has invited many famous doctors to treat my mother and try to wake her up, but it hasn’t worked.
I didn’t want to bother you at first, but now I really don’t know what to do.
After all, she’s my biological mother, and I can’t just leave her ..."
Lionel Yeager comforted, "Sister Betty, don’t be sad. I’ll come to Fragrance River tomorrow morning to check on Auntie’s condition.
As for whether Auntie can be saved or not, we’ll know after the checkup.
However, I don’t think there should be any major issues."
Julie Stewart sobbed, "Mullen, thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart!"
