Top Notch War God

Chapter 68

"Why are you making noise so late at night?" A voice came from the second floor, and then a middle-aged man appeared, tying the belt of his robe as he descended the stairs.

The housekeeper quickly changed her attitude and reported to the middle-aged man, "Sir, the young lady has returned. She came back with a boy and angrily said she was being spied on by him. I made him bow and apologize to the young lady!"

"Oh? I want to see who has the audacity to spy on my daughter." The middle-aged man's expression changed instantly, coldly staring at Talon, then suddenly froze.

He quickly walked up to Talon and said excitedly, "Mr. Storm, what are you doing here? Baron greets the General!"

Talon shook his head. "It's a long story."

"Then take your time. Wendy, go bring out my cherished coffee. Hurry, hurry!"

"Yes, yes!" Wendy was terrified. 'Oh my God, the master actually knows this person; doesn't that mean I've offended him?'

"Honored guest, please enjoy the wine." Wendy cautiously placed the wine on the table, not daring to lift her head.

"Can I sit here?" Talon asked, noticing she was trembling slightly.

Wendy repeatedly bowed and apologized. "Please forgive me, my lord. I didn't mean to offend you. I thought the young lady was being bullied, so I spoke out. I didn't know your identity; if I had, even if you gave me ten times the courage, I wouldn't dare! Mr. Storm, please punish me!"

Baron Gordon was stunned and asked with a stern face, "What's going on?"

"No need to worry. Just tell Wendy to find out the full story next time before sending someone away," Talon replied.

"Thank you, Mr. Storm! Thank you, Mr. Storm!" Wendy was still shaken.

Seeing Talon was inclined to let Wendy off, Baron snorted.

He said, "Wendy, I'll let you go this time for your years of service to the Gordon family. However, if you dare to threaten or intimidate Mr. Storm, I will deduct your salary for the month and keep you at the Gordon residence for further observation. If you do it again, I won't let you off easily. Understand?"

"Yes, I will definitely ask clearly next time and won't cause you any trouble..." Wendy said as she stood up and stepped aside to serve.

"Mr. Storm, why are you suddenly at the Gordon residence, and what about you and my daughter..." Baron looked puzzled. 'Wendy's words suggest that Talon was spying on Nia. Could it be that he has an interest in my daughter?'

"Kieran asked me to investigate Dale; he might really have some issues." Talon then explained the situation thoroughly.

After hearing this, Baron's expression turned unspeakably grim. "Dale wants to sleep with Nia and take nude photos of her? Well, now that the Gordon family is left with just Nia, he really has a good plan. It's just a pity he was too anxious; otherwise, he might have succeeded!"

Talon finished speaking and stood up, preparing to leave; his mission was complete. Although he didn't find out exactly what scheme Dale had in mind, the Gordon family needed to prepare ahead, or they wouldn't remain a prominent family in Pennsylvania.

"You bastard, how dare you involve my dad; I won't let you off!" At that moment, Nia appeared at the top of the stairs, already dressed. It seemed she had even taken a shower; her hair was still damp and draped over her shoulders.

Baron looked up and stopped the furious Nia. "Nia, don't be unruly. First, thank Mr. Storm; if it weren't for him today, you would have been done for. I'm telling you, your wedding with Dale is canceled, and you're not allowed to see him again!"

Nia stared at Talon in disbelief and asked, "What? Dad, you want me to call him Mr.? Just him? Does he even dare to agree? Do you know that he knocked me out in the restroom at Seaside Bar and took me for a joyride? If it weren't for my luck, I wouldn't have been able to see you again!"

Baron slammed the table and said solemnly, "You i***t! Do you know who he is? When your brother was alive, you often boasted about him. When he joined the Dragon Nest army and even died on the battlefield, you didn't shed a single tear."

He added, "You should know that when your brother joined the military, he had to be prepared for death on the battlefield, for the country and its people, wrapped in a horse blanket. It was fortunate he served! He is the commander of the unit your brother belonged to and the unit you admired most—Talon!"

Nia was stunned and pointed at Talon. "What? He… is Talon? Impossible, it can't be! How could Talon dress like this?"

"Miss, this isn't a battlefield; what does it matter how I dress?" Talon looked at himself. He was wearing a T-shirt and a pair of loose shorts for comfort, with socks and shoes; nothing seemed out of place. It's not like this was a battle, so why should it matter if he wasn't in military uniform?

Looking into Talon's eyes, Nia felt like they were stars in the night sky, bringing her warmth and light, giving her the courage to follow in her brother's footsteps.

Nia then deeply bowed and said, "Mr. Storm, I apologize. I know you are very busy and have many matters to attend to, but I have something to ask. If you refuse, I will spread the incident that happened in the restroom. I believe someone as proud as Mr. Storm wouldn't want this matter to be known by more people, right?"
