Chapter 511
After Duncan and his gang left, Adrian turned around to look at William, Swallowston University’s principal.
Adrian had met William once at Wyvern Peak years ago. That was when Vell, his eldest son, died in battle. William was there to see Vell one last time.
“It hasn’t been that long but William looks so much older now.”
“Long time no see, Mr. William,” Adrian said.
William took a good look at Adrian and was finally able to recognize him. William seemed elated and said, “It’s you, sir.”
Adrian nodded and glanced at the young man next to William, His name was Reed Falkner, Sandy and William’s second son, and Vell’s little brother. Reed looked about eighteen years old and had a lot of bruises from being beaten up.
Noticing Adrian observing Reed, William immediately yelled, “Go to your room. Now! I’ll deal with you later.”
Thus, Reed reluctantly went to his room, an ugly expression on his face.
When Adrian saw this, he said, “Your son looks like a rebellious one. What happened here? Why is this fellow Lapo coming after you?”
William heaved a sigh. “Please have a seat, legate…
He gestured toward a marble table in the courtyard that had a few stools around it. After the two of them sat down, William explained, “Reed’s been really tough to take care of ever since his mother had to lay down her life for our country. Originally, he had his older brother as a role model, but everything took a really bad turn after he died too.”
Sandy was a popular figure back at Wyvern Peak. That was the reason that Vell had joined Wyvern Peak as well. Yet, they both sacrificed themselves in the end and as a result, William had to single- handedly take care of his youngest son in Swallowston.
Unfortunately, Sandy and Vell’s death had affected Reed too deeply.
“Is hr in some sort of trouble?” Adrian asked, to which William heaved another sigh.
“Reed is becoming more rebellious as the days pass. He’s hell-bent on avenging Sandy and Vell. I’ve advised him to forget about it and to just study hard so that he can find a decent job in the future but he refuses to let go.
“His rebellious streak grows by the day, loitering aimlessly and mixing with a bad bunch. Now, he’s ski pping classes and spending his time at internet cafes and bars.”
‘Reed just hit puberty so it’s understandable for him to have a bad temper.
‘It’s likely he has lost all hope due to his mother and brother’s death.’
At that thought, Adrian nodded and consoled, “It’s normal for him to behave this way at his age, plus the added impact of losing his mother and brother. You should be teaching him how to get back on track, not forcing him. You’ll end up doing a lot more harm if you do.”
“I think so too, but he refuses to listen to me. Just take today for example. He and a bunch of people went to the bar and somehow managed to offend this Lopo person. Now, that guy wants to come here
to settle the score.”
William had heard of Logo in the past. The man was in the night establishment business and all the entertainment chains around Swallowston University were run by him.
William had no idea low Reed had offended Lapo, but no matter the case, he was thoroughly disappointed in his son. “Sigh…”
