The Legendary Man novel Chapter 652

Chapter 652 Head Of The Family

Back in the Osborne family’s ancestral land on Wasahurst Mountains in Quadfield, Drieso, Mason lay in his rocking chair and watched as the wind dispersed the fog on the mountains idly.

A slightly plump Everett walked into the courtyard. “Uncle Mason, Xavion has been sent to Doveston,” he reported.“Mm.” Mason nodded and turned around to look at Everett. “Everett, look at the fog in the mountain. Has it changed?”

Despite not knowing why Mason would pose that question to him, Everett knew that there must be a reason behind Mason’s question. Turning to the fog, Everett pondered for a moment before answering, “It looks the same as usual, but changes at all times.”

“It looks the same as usual, but changes at all times,” Mason repeated. After repeating the same sentence a few times, Mason flashed a smile.

“Everett, your answer is perfect. Hmm, seems like I didn’t teach you for years in vain,” he announced cheerfully.

After a pause, he asked, “How long have you been with me? I mean, helping me deal with the family affairs.”

As if sensing what he meant, Everett quickly replied, “It will be fifteen years a few days later.”

“Fifteen years.” Mason rose to his feet. “How many fifteen years in your life do you have? You worked hard for fifteen years but only managed to be an elder. The Osborne family owes you a lot.”

Hearing his words, Everett gave a slight bow and came to him.

“Uncle Mason, please don’t say that. I’m part of the Osborne family, too. Thus, it is my job to help you within my capabilities. After all, I do get to enjoy the benefits of being part of the Osborne family, right?”

Mason was clearly pleased with his reply. “Everett, I will make it up to you.”

Everett quickly gave him a salute and said, “Uncle Mason, I dare not take merit.”

Hearing that, Mason laughed and shook his head. “Don’t say that. Jay is outside, right? Tell him to come on in.”

“Of course.”

Everett immediately landed his spiritual sense on Jay and vibrated it. Sensing the vibration, Jay lowered his head and hurried into the courtyard.

Jay was the young master of the main branch of the Osborne family and also the future successor of the family. Thus, he was adored by Mason, who he called “Grandpa.”

Alas, after Mason realized what he did and chopped all his lovers into minced meat, he would tremble in fear whenever he saw Mason as though he was a rat who had seen a cat.

“Grandpa.” After entering the courtyard, Jay didn’t even dare to raise his head and promptly got on his knees in front of Mason. “Grandpa, I’m sorry. I won’t do it again—”

Before he could finish, Mason cut in and announced, “I don’t mix business with personal affairs. I summoned you here today to talk about business. Call me Old Mr. Osborne.”

Mason sounded calm, but Jay felt as though his energy had been depleted.

He knew right then that his grandfather would never summon him for personal affairs anymore.

Nevertheless, he had no other choice.

Tears streamed down his cheeks and fell to the ground.

Gritting his teeth, Jay balled up his fists and greeted, “Greetings, Old Mr. Osborne. May I know why you summoned me here?”

Seeing their actions, Everett let out a long sigh.

Jay was his nephew whom he had watched grow up. In fact, Everett didn’t hold back in nurturing Jay.

Never in his wildest dreams did he expect that Jay would turn out this way.

Mason gazed at Jay. “Jay, I want to help you hide the truth, but no secret can remain hidden forever. Many people in the family already know about your matters,” he revealed.
