The Soldier's Unsurpassable Honor -
Chapter 548
"Alright, alright. I'll make a call to them in a few days!"
Xena smiled awkwardly. She thought to herself and decided to agree to whatever came to her first, and act accordingly later on.
The family quickly hopped to the second floor. After a round of touring, they picked their rooms.
After selecting their respective rooms, Selena suggested to Fane, "Let's go. It's almost time. Let's go back and pack our things so we can move in earlier and have an early dinner, too. After dinner, we could take Kylie to the park and take a stroll around our neighborhood." 'Good idea! It's a lot livelier here than the place I used to live in!"
Fane smiled at her. Holding her hand, they went down to the first floor together.
Soon, Fane and the others returned to their dilapidated small house that they used to live in, packed some clothes and essentials, and were about to move into their new villa.
Selena stood in the courtyard, her eyes fixated on the dilapidated house and its small courtyard, reminiscing the past.
"I can't believe that we've been living in this house for five years. I wasn't used to living in such conditions at the beginning!
"But, after some time, I eventually got used to it. It's been five years... Sigh, I feel sad to leave!" Selena chortled bitterly, her voice full of emotions.
'We've got to go. It's my fault for making you and Kylie suffer a lot in the last five years. From now on, I promise I'll make you the happiest woman in the world!"
Fane gave her a warm smile. He turned to Fiona and said, "Mother, it'll be Selena's birthday in another month, right? I'll throw her a celebration that will shock the whole city! It'll be an unforgettable birthday!" "Really? If that's true, I might go and announce it to my friends and family! If you can't fulfill your promise, you'll lose face!"
Fiona was truly happy for Selena. After all, her daughter had experienced the worst in the past five years. She could not even afford a decent meal during her past few birthdays!
Fane's words lightened up Fiona's mood.
This was the first time Fiona thought well o f Fane. Although he was not as wealthy as Ken Clark, he was good to her daughter.
Lads like Ken Clark and Neil Huga, they were wealthy but vicious and blackhearted at the same time. How could they ask her to poison Fane? Only evil people like them could come up with such ideas After Fiona gave some thought to the situation, she reminded Fane, "By the way, Fane, even though you have a good relationship with the Goddess of War, and the Gods of War came over to Grandpa's birthday for you, you can't expect them to help you every time. So, no matter what, keep a low profile. Don't get yourself targeted and cause me trouble, do you hear me? The higher the tree, the stronger the wind!"
Andrew bobbed his head in agreement. He stepped forward and said the same to Fane, "Yeah, Fane, Ma is right. And you don't have to punish young master Wilson that hard today. You could've just asked him to kowtow and apologize, or maybe ask them to slap themselves. Those two hundred slaps almost crippled him! Do you think they'll let it slide just like that?"
"Pa, it's not that serious. Marshall Dennis is our bodyguard right now, so there's nothing to be afraid of. Those young masters and their bodyguards are just ordinary people. Besides, won't they think twice before going against us? After all, Fane has a good relationship with the Goddess of War. If they piss off the Goddess of War, their entire family is basically done for!" Selena replied after pondering.
"Anyway, just stay low. They won't dare to fight Fane face-to-face, but what if they find someone to slit his throat in secret? After all, everything can be done secretly, and if they refuse to admit to it by then, there'd be no evidence for the Goddess of War to wipe them out, right?"
Andrew smiled bitterly. "It's easy to dodge an open spear thrust, but difficult to guard against an arrow in the dark, isn't it?"
Selena nodded to agree. Her father was right. She then turned to Fane and said," Moving forward, please try to make as little trouble as possible, for me and our daughter, okay? Try to keep a low profile, go to work and get off work on time everyday without stirring up trouble. The most important thing is that we live comfortably and peacefully!"
Fane did not know whether to laugh or to cry at his wife's comments. "Honey, don't you think I want that, too? It's not that I didn't want to stay low. I couldn't! I already warned them to stay away from us, but those brats were still thinking about you and wanting to fight me. Sigh, I'm helpless!"
