Chapter 398

"It's not bad." Courtney nodded. "I quite like this watch."

"That's good! I'm glad you like it!" Will handed his bank card over to Julie. "Go and settle the bill."

Kingsley wanted to reject the offer, but Will beat him to it. "I insist, Mr. Nicholson! It's just five hundred

thousand. Please don't feel the need to turn me down."

"Fine." Kingsley was not someone to make a fuss over small matters. He accepted Will's offer with a

smile. "I'll accept this gift on behalf of my sister, then."

The crowd, not one to hold their tongue, began to chatter once more.

"Goodness me! 'It's just five hundred thousand', he says! Only Will Maslow of Scarlet Heart Group

would say a thing like that!"

"Mr. Nicholson? Is that Nicholson fellow some kind of businessman too? Either way, he's gotten himself

a windfall this time!"

"Didn't you hear him saying that the beautiful woman is his sister? I'm pretty sure Will Maslow is trying

to become his brother-in-law!"

"I'm so f*cking envious! If only I had such a beautiful sister too!"

After hearing what the crowd was saying, Will hastened to say, "Mr. Nicholson, please don't take it the

wrong way. I—"

Kingsley raised his hand to interrupt him. "I know what your intentions are."

Will sighed in relief. "As long as you understand…"

Then, he turned to look at Zeke and Catherine. "Why the f*ck are you two still here? Get lost!"

His words whipped Zeke into action. He swiftly bowed to Will and said, "Yes, of course, at once! I'll

leave right now! Immediately!"

He and Catherine both hightailed it out of the boutique.

Will did not bother to watch them leave. He turned to Julie and said, "Find me a women's watch in the

seventy-five thousand range and wrap it up with the best packaging you have in store."

Julie was ecstatic. "Yes, Mr. Maslow. I'll pick one out for you right away!" she hurriedly replied.

Kingsley was puzzled. "Are you preparing a gift for someone, Mr. Maslow?"

"The president of Solaris Bank—Mr. Hewitt—is organizing a birthday banquet for his wife at Helios

Hotel this afternoon. I'll be attending the banquet to give her my wishes," Will explained. "It's just as

well that watches from this brand are pretty decent, and I'm in no state to go looking for something else

to give as a gift anyway."

However, his explanation only left Kingsley with even more questions.

"It's understandable to give a gift to the bank president and his wife, but isn't it a bit much to give a

watch that costs seventy-five thousand?"

Will kept his voice low as he explained, "You might not know this, but Mr. Hewitt's son is a decorated

hero recognized by our country's military. The entire Hewitt family commands a lot of power and

respect in Solaris province. If the family supports you, it's equivalent to receiving the go-ahead from the

government itself. Even the city mayor and the provincial governor treat Mr. Hewitt with the utmost

respect."

Kingsley had a slight frown. "A decorated hero recognized by the military? How come? Did he do

something commendable on the battlefield? Or is it…"

Suddenly, Kingsley faltered and froze. He asked slowly, "Is… Mr. Hewitt's son named Warren Hewitt?"

"Hmm… I don't know his son's name." Will shook his head. "All I know is a couple of years ago, or

maybe a bit more than that, his son died protecting someone important."

"Five years." There was a flash of sorrow in Kingsley's eyes. "Five years ago, during an attempt to

rescue hostages at Sokerno, Warren Hewitt… died in combat."

Five years ago, Kingsley led two platoons of soldiers from Coliree Island and snuck into the center of

Sokerno's civil conflict zone to rescue three of their own countrymen.

With their advanced weaponry and superior fighting skills, they were able to rescue the hostages with

little trouble.

However, while they were retreating to safety, a woman carrying a baby showed up in front of them.

She stood amid the building rubble looking numb and despairing.

Kingsley took pity on her and got his men to step around her and continue marching forward.

However, that woman then launched a suicide attack on them.
