Mr. Jones gave a cheerful smile.
Of course, he could still work hard and deal with those annoying people, but Mr. Jones didn't really want to move his old bones right now.
He pushed his son to inherit his business because he wanted to retire in the beginning.
But who made Samuel become a training and fighting maniac due to his experience in Afirer Kingdom?
When Samuel came back, Mr. Jones had already sensed that his son was different.
But he didn't ask.
Because he knew that his son had grown up and it was absolutely impossible for Samuel to tell him everything that happened to him all the time. Thankfully, Samuel still came clean to him later on, allowing him to know what had happened.
And the reason why Samuel came to him was because he wanted to hand over the Jones Family Corporation to his hand again.
Mr. Jones: "…"
At that time, he felt helpless towards his first son, but he could only agree in the end because there was nothing much that he could really do otherwise.
Could he force his son to continue managing the company?
With the way Samuel has been trying to steer away from the company and even slowly handed the business back, he could only take it back and manage it again.
Even though Mr. Jones felt a bit painful, he still choose to agree in the end.
After the earthquake happened…
Mr. Jones just felt relieved that he had allowed Samuel to focus on training and didn't have to manage the company. He reached an agreement with the higher ups to set up City A Base and become its leader.
Samuel should have been the leader because they trusted his ability and strength more, but Samuel has different aspiration.
He wanted to become stronger more than managing a city base.
So Mr. Jones could only step forward and take the charge.
Managing a city base was tiring, but it was worthwhile.
At the very least, Mr. Jones felt that it was not a bad job and he was also enjoying his life greatly. He still has to practice under his son's strict arrangement, but it was also for their own good.
After all, if they didn't get stronger, what if they were bullied when Samuel was away.
The logic was sound but Mr. Jones had the feeling that his own son was deliberately making things difficult for him?
This made him remember that when he was young, he also forced Samuel to train hard in order to succeed him.
*sigh*
Samuel rarely went back after he met with Riya and the two of them were almost always together. This made Mr. Jones wonder if his son wanted to stick around and become a pendant for that woman.
But while speechless, he could also see that the two of them were cooperating together very well.
This made Mr. Jones also happy.
The higher ups were not very happy, though.
Mr. Jones could see it clearly.
But he was too lazy to mention about this matter and he didn't want to get involved either.
Without his son, he would not have the qualification to get to know these people and participated in these things.
So Mr. Jones stayed low key.
He kept on developing City A Base to the extent that it surpassed how it used to be before the earthquake ever happened. While the situation was still not very optimistic in the defense side because there were still many refugees coming from time to time, but things have already improved a lot.
Mr. Jones had gotten used to this kind of life.
But everything was clearly for the preparation of the grand magic beasts tide's arrival.
He didn't fight on the frontline.
What he did was to watch as his own son and daughter in law bet with their lives again and again while they fought on the frontline without stopping in the slightest bit.
It would be a lie if he said that he was not worried.
But Mr. Jones could see that these two people had long made the determination to fight on the frontline until the very end.
So what he could do was to support them.
He just didn't expect that this support would end up with them leaving forever.
