Chapter 219: Preparing to Leave
This answer made Hobrick very satisfied.
It was not that he wanted Locke to make up for his regrets from his previous exploration.
It was just that he felt that an outstanding Beastmaster should have a broader vision.
“Child, Peter called yesterday. I know what you did two days ago and I know that you’re very interested. But I have to warn you, royal missions are very dangerous. Be careful…”
Hobrick’s aning was very clear.
He agreed to Locke’s early graduation and respected Locke’s choice.
“Understood! Also, you’ve been to the palace many tis, do you know how the royal agent’s treatnt is?” Locke was very curious.
After eating the cake, Hobrick snorted coldly and said, “Child! Rember, if it’s yours, you must not let it go! If it’s not yours, then think of a way to get it! They’re very rich! Don’t feel bad! Use all your strength to scam them!”
With these words, Locke knew what to do.
The old man and the young man looked at each other and revealed evil smiles.
…
Soon, the news that Locke was graduating early had spread throughout the academy.
What Locke did not know was that in doing nothing, he had set a new record – the first student to graduate early in the academy!
It was not because he was mischievous but because there was no one else who had the ability to teach him!
Originally, Locke was going to rest for two days before leaving.
However, Hobrick and a few directors said that there were still procedures to be done.
They insisted that Locke wait for another three days.
They heard that there was going to be so morial ceremony!
Now that he was about to be separated from everyone, Locke could not discourage their concern. So, he reluctantly agreed.
Dickens was also contacting his colleagues in other places for materials for a few Battle Beasts.
There was still no news at the mont.
All of a sudden, Locke felt relaxed.
…
It had been a long ti since the family had sat down to eat together.
After learning that Locke would beco the first outstanding student to graduate early from the Federal Academy, Locke’s parents were filled with tears.
“Child! You’re an angel! Our family finally has an amazing Beastmaster…”
“My dear son! Don’t worry, you can go wherever you want to go or stay in the Holy City! I’ll take good care of our family! Whenever you co back, I’ll have delicious food for you…”
Although his mother’s words were firm, she did not want to burden Locke.
However, she was also the one who cried the most. First, she was happy and then, she was going to part ways again. Naturally, she could not bear to part with Locke.
“Alright! Today is a happy day. Hurry up and cook! The three of us should drink so wine!” The bearded man wiped away his tears of relief.
“I’ll let you leave the Holy City. Your mother and I will go back to our hotown!”
“Ah? The Holy City is so prosperous. It’s convenient to be here!” Locke felt that this place was quite good.
His mother explained, “We still miss the food and climate of our hotown more. We haven’t stayed here for long. We’re not familiar with the place, so it’s better to be at ho!”
Looking at their expectant expressions, Locke knew that they were not lying. After thinking for a mont, he said, “Alright! As long as you’re happy! The houses in our hotown have been destroyed. I’ll buy a piece of land right away! You’ve been wishing for a manor for many years. Leave these matters to ! Money isn’t a problem!”
In this world, most Beastmasters were not poor and most of them were very rich.
It could be considered a common occurrence in most places.
Naturally, his parents would not ask about Locke’s finances.
In any case, they were going to enjoy their lives. They would not have to worry about their livelihood for the rest of their lives!
“Alright! Let’s drink to Locke’s future!”
“Cheers!”
Following that, Locke took out the dal that represented the title of Viscount.
When his parents saw it, their jaws nearly fell on the dining table!
“This… This is yours?”
“Child, you didn’t steal it, right?”
This matter could not be concealed sooner or later, so Locke simply told them about this matter.
Of course, he did not say much about the matter that the king had valued him highly. He was afraid that his parents would be too happy and cause a heart attack.
This transformation of Locke’s identity would definitely bring glory to his ancestors!
According to the law, Locke’s descendants could also inherit this status.
In less than a year, their family’s status was greatly improved.
However, Locke did not feel much excitent. He did not care about the title.
The only he cared about was obtaining benefits from various companies and institutions.
The king did not give him a fief or salary. It was just a title.
However, it was important to Locke!
As long as the city of his hotown knew, from the governor to the scoundrel, no one dared to disrespect his parents.
It was definitely a good protection.
This way, he would feel much more at ease while he was outside.
Then, Locke said that he was going to work at a well-known Battle Beast training company in Heavenly City.
If they knew that he was going to be a special agent, they would definitely be on tenterhooks all day long.
After a series of white lies, the bitter old couple no longer had much to worry about.
The cheerful atmosphere filled the restaurant.
As they were feeling delighted, they drank a lot of wine.
Then, they went back to their rooms early to rest.
Locke went out and walked toward Dickens’ training hall.
“What? Boss! You’re leaving?” Dickens was very surprised by the news.
It was not that there would be changes in the underground of the Holy City after Locke left.
In the current Holy City, no matter above or below ground, as long as Locke’s na was ntioned, no one would not be in awe.
Especially underground, coupled with Dickens’ shrewd tactics, no one dared to disobey Locke’s na.
Dickens was just purely surprised.
Locke sat on the leather chair, smoking a cigar and said, “I want to go to Heavenly City. The royal family has a new position for .”
Dickens looked at the Viscount dal on Locke’s chest and was extrely happy!
Dickens’ boss was highly regarded by the royal family and was even given a title.
Sooner or later, Dickens would be able to bask in the glory!
Locke was right!
Next, it was to butter up to Locke. Dickens used all sorts of words of praise.
Locke knew this old man’s ntality and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t ignore you. If we want to go to Heavenly City, we can continue our career…”
That was what he was waiting for! Dickens helped to pour the coffee and said, “Boss! Tell ! What are our next arrangents?”
After drinking a mouthful of hot coffee, Locke was not in a hurry to make arrangents. Instead, he asked, “Now, do you have any reliable people under you?”
“Of course! At least 50 leaders! They can manage the company and the underground of the Holy City well!” Dickens’ expression was serious and did not look like he was bragging.
“If they can manage this place well, are you… Interested in going to the Heavenly City with ?”
Dickens said without thinking, “Of course! Of course, I’m willing to go with you! You’ll always be my boss!”
