Chapter 717: 589 Fall off the horse without agreement, full of regret [1 update]
David had originally thought that it was the Lorentz Family who had arranged for his release.
As the chief juror of the IFF Golden Image Awards, he at least had access to people from the Lorentz Family.
They were certainly more familiar than Ying Zijin’s group of people from Hua Country.
The Lorentz Family wouldn’t inconvenience their own people for the sake of a group from Hua Country.
It was indeed by leveraging connections with the Lorentz Family that he had been able to hire a troop of mercenaries.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have had the qualification to enter the Underworld.
But hearing this statement, David stiffened, “Sir, sir?”
What did he mean by that?
“Miss Ying from Chuguang Media, even if she is the master, deserves respect and veneration,” Job said with a smile, his eyes filled with a hint of sarcasm and mockery, “Now, tell me, what are you exactly?”
David simply couldn’t believe his ears.
It was as if countless bees were buzzing next to his ear, his head was throbbing with blood.
In an instant, it seemed as if all his strength had been drained away.
David slumped into the chair, utterly stunned.
Although David was not of the Lorentz Family, having interacted with them, he had come to know a few things.
In the Lorentz Family, the only one who could be called the master was the mysterious Ruler.
Even the family head, even the prestigious Elders Council, must address them as the master.
Everyone in the O continent knew that without this Ruler, there would be no today for the Lorentz Family.
He deserved the respect of the entire Lorentz Family.
The person whom even the Ruler had to respect, what was their status?
David’s mind was a complete mess, already turned to mush.
“Listen to yourself, you said you would keep them here, not let them leave Jade Ice Cui, do you dare now?” Job looked at him and spoke indifferently, “Weren’t you trying to leave? I can let you out now, go ahead.”
Having said that, he actually opened the door and created a pathway.
But David didn’t dare to move.
His lips quivered, his face pale, “She, she is really…”
Who exactly was Ying Zijin?!
“David, you said that if you had quietly apologized after being dismissed and clearly recognized your mistake, perhaps the Lorentz Family would have considered employing you again in the future,” Job said coldly, “It’s a pity you haven’t grasped the current situation.”
“Do you know who the master dislikes the most? People from the Pazzi Family!”
David’s eyes widened again.
“And you—” Job’s look turned even more pitying, “for not wanting to offend Miss Pazzi, you turned around and oppressed Miss Ying. Now, tell me, what would the master do?”
This time, David’s spirit could not bear it and he collapsed completely.
He cried out loudly, turning even paler.
“The master has decreed that you will never step foot in Jade Ice Cui again,” Job summoned two guards, who escorted the pale-faced David out.
David was restrained by two guards, his legs too weak to support him.
His body trembled like a sieve, and he was sweating profusely.
This time, he truly hit a snag.
If he had known earlier that Ying Zijin had such a deep relationship with the Ruler of the Lorentz Family, how would he have dared to do this?
David was filled with regret.
But in this world, there is no medicine for regret.
After settling this matter, Job prepared to return to the core area of the castle to report to Xize.
As he came out, he encountered a woman dressed in a deep purple English dress.
Job nodded slightly, just giving a greeting, “Miss Elizabeth.”
The woman turned around, took off her hat, and said politely, “Steward Job, is the master well?”
“The master is very well.” Treating a core member of the Lorentz Family’s current generation, Job did not conceal anything, “In a little while, the master will formally meet with everyone.”
It was because last time Xize had him specifically find out the family members who studied physics and called up the list.
Elizabeth was among those on the list.
Therefore, Job asked another question, “How is Miss Elizabeth’s experiment project progressing?”
Elizabeth seemed a bit overwhelmed, “It’s going smoothly, thank you for your concern, Steward Job.”
“Then let me offer my congratulations to Miss Elizabeth in advance,” Job nodded, did not inquire further, and went inside.
However, Xize was not there; he had sneaked out two hours before.
Using a fake identity, he took a city-to-city train to meet Ying Zijin, and by this time, he had already arrived at the hotel.
The female secretary saw a tall figure intentionally bending over and sneaking toward their side.
She immediately became alert: “Boss, someone is trying to assassinate you.”
