The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 90

Meanwhile, Cassey stood frozen to the spot as she watched her friends and relatives leave the venue.

Dickson and the others were all shocked, still unable to apprehend what had just happened

This included Samantha, who looked at Adrian for a while before turning to look at Cassey.

At that moment, Dickson let out a sigh and shook his head. “I’m sure Mario has somehow offended a very important person due to his arrogance. It caused the Pykes to go bankrupt.

“I, on the other hand, am quite confident in my good character, so I’m safe.”

Hearing this, Adrian smiled and said, “You seem really confident in yourself, Dickson However, I’m willing to bet you’re going to end up exactly like Mario in less than a minute. Your father will be calling you very soon too.”

“Hahaha!” Dickson let off a hearty laugh. “Do you think you’re the one who caused the Pykes to go bankrupt? You just got f cking lucky back there. You dare to say my father will call me?”

Dickson was filled with endless confidence in himself, but his phone suddenly rang right after he said that.

When he picked up his phone, he too was stunned because it was a call from none other than his father, Bruce Kramer.

Someone leaned over and was shocked when they saw the incoming call. “Dickson, 1–it really is your father.”

Dickson’s hand trembled slightly because his father was actually calling him in under a minute, just like Adrian said he would.

Is this really happening?

Dickson took a deep breath to regain control of his shaking hands. This was not a call he dared to answer.

Meanwhile, everyone including Samantha stared at him.

The phone rang for a really long time, but alas, Dirkson had to answer it.

“Hello, F–Father…” his voice trembled as he spoke.

“Have you offended someone recently?” Bruce asked calmly when the call connected.

Bruce was a rather calm person and would usually remain rational when faced with any

my issues.

At that point, Dickson’s eyes turned slightly red as he said, “Father, t… I haven’t offended anyone.”

“Impossible,” Bruce said, “If you haven’t offended anyone, why did someone call me a few minutes ago, telling me that the empire I’ve spent tens of years building up is about to be completely destroyed? We now owe the bank three million dollars on top of that.

“So, tell me. Who have you

uffended?

Dickson was left stumped and shook violently as tears ran down his cheeks. In fact, his pants were soaked. He was at a loss for words, unable to comprehend what was happening

He cried and said, “1-1 don’t know, Father.”

On the other end of the call, Bruce still seemed rather calin as he said, “I want you back here this instant. I’m taking you to meet Battle Warrior Lucas, and you’re going to apologize to him.”

“But, Father! 1-1” Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Dickson was no longer the same arrogant man he was a moment ago, plus he had no idea why any of this was happening.

“Get your ‘ss back here!” Bruce suddenly yelled.

Dickson immediately stood up and beaded for the exit, suffering from a mental breakalown at that point.

The hotel’s main ball fell into a deadly silence. Everyone, including Cassey, Jooled toward Adrian.
