Chapter 383 Respecting Mrs. Lockwood Is The Way Draxton looked at Joshua with a soft light in his eyes.
“Get up” He stood up to pull Joshua up Joshua got up and looked at Draxton with a smile. “Mr. Lockwood, I'm so happy.” He had waited for this day for far too long.
Draxton knew that Joshua had always wanted to reunite with him. It was not easy for him to stay on Mystical Island alone all these years. He must have endured a lot of hardship to have cthis far.
Therefore, it was only natural for him to want to go home.
Draxton did not say anything. He just patted Joshua on the shoulder gently.
However, Joshua's eyes were slightly wet.
The hall was so quiet that one could hear everyone's breathing. Ingrid and Ivory were dumbfounded as they looked at Draxton in fascination.
Draxton looked up at Thomas and Tyson.
Both of them looked confused.
They thought they must be hallucinating.
Otherwise, they wouldnt have seen such an unbelievable thing.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Joshua is Draxton’s man? “Are you kidding me?” The district master of District 8 was useless and had no real power. To put it bluntly, Joshua was the boss of District 8.
Even old foxes like Thomas and Tyson, who had been around for a long time, were confounded. They could not wrap their minds around it for a moment.
Joshua certainly knew how shocked those people were Thus, he walked up to Thomas and Tyson and said, “Letintroduce myself again. I'm Theo Lockwood.” “Zoinks!” Thomas and Tyson suddenly had an epiphany. After realizing something, they both looked at Draxton with complete shock in their eyes.
Everything was clear now.
Joshua was sent to Mystical Island by Draxton.
However, when the former president of the underground chamber of commerce found Joshua, Joshua was just a teenager.
So was Draxton.
But he had planted a formidable spy like Joshua who had established himself in the center of power on Mystical island. It was terrifying that he had plotted a schso early.
They even suspected that except for Joshua, Draxton might have other tricks to take over Mystical Island. Tyson was calm, but Thomas started trembling in fear.
“Mr. Mr. Miller. This is so surprising. Thomas stammered.
Joshua smiled. “Sorry for surprising you two your choice?” Thomas's face twitched.
Tyson was silent for a moment before saying with a bitter smile, “What choice do we have?” Joshua had revealed his true identity to the two of them. They could only die or join them after learning such a shocking secret The so-calied choice was either to surrender or to die.
Of course, they would not choose death.
They submitted to Julian not because he was an outstanding leader nor because they had shared values and beliefs. They were just tied together by benefits.
Now that there were greater benefits lying before them, needless to say, they would make the obvious choice.
Tyson immediately bowed and said to Draxton, “Mr. Lockwood, I, Tyson Campbell, master of District 2, pay my respect to you. From now on, I'll be at your disposal.” With that, he lowered his head respectfully “Second Master, you. Thomas was shocked.
Draxton looked up at Tyson and said, “Alright, Second Master, there's no need to stand on ceremony.” Joshua smiled and looked at Thomas.
Thomas had a complicated expression on his face.
He was unwilling to surrender to an outlander, but if he didn’t, he would die.
Seeing that Thomas was unable to make up his mind, Joshua gave a brittle laugh. He waved his hand and a guard took out two bottles of water.
When Draxton saw the water, his hand holding the coffee cup froze and his mouth twitched.
He looked at Joshua and thought, “Joshua is not bad. He really brought two bottles of water over as instructed by Bella.
Joshua said, “Mr. Riley, these two bottles of water are the spring water from District 8. Mrs. Lockwood said your two daughters saved Mr. Lockwood's lives and Mr. Lockwood has promised to repay them with spring water.
So, | especially took two bottles and deliver them to the two Miss Rileys.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Ladies, please accept it.” Ingrid and Ivory didn’t know what to do.
Their faces turned pale and crumbled slowly as they stared blankly at the water in their hands.
Seeing them take the water, Joshua looked at Thomas and said. “Mr. Riley, look, Mr. Lockwood distinguishes gratitude and grudges clearly. We will definitely repay our benefactors. As for our enemies...” Before Joshua could finish speaking, Thomas fell to his knees with a “thud”.
His forehead was covered in a cold sweat, and he said with trembled voice, “I... | was just too shocked. I, Thomas Riley, am willing to swear loyalty to Mr. Lockwood. From now on, I'll be at your service.
The Riley family... Everything that belongs to the Riley Family will be at Mr. Lockwood's disposal.” Joshua clapped his hands and laughed. “Great!” He turned around and said to Draxton, “Mr. Lockwood, it seems that Mr. Riley is also a tactful man.” Draxton said, “It's good to be tactful. Only those who know what's good for them can live.” “Mr. Lockwood is right.” Joshua agreed. Then, he looked at Thomas and said, “Congratulations Mr. Riley that you're still alive.” Thomas's forehead was drenched in a cold sweat as he nodded repeatedly. He did not dare to have second thoughts about it.
Joshua and Draxton looked at each other with smiles in their eyes.
Tyson said, “Mr. Lockwood, | have sinformation about Julian and the shady things he did. | also have sinformation about the old president's death.” Tyson immediately offered something to demonstrate his loyalty.
When Thomas saw that, he quickly said, “I'm also willing to hand over everything | know and the power as the head of the Riley family” Tyson refused to be outdone and said immediately, “Yes, I'm also willing to hand District 2 over to Mr. Lockwood and Mr. Miller.” Joshua looked at them in satisfaction and said, “Second Master, Mr. Riley. You've got to know that following Mr.
Lockwood is way better than following Julian. Mr. Lockwood is very easy to talk to.” Draxton raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Joshua.
Joshua smiled innocently at Draxton and took out his phone.
He said, “Well, Mr. Lockwood, | need to call Mrs. Lockwood and tell her the spring water has been delivered.” Thereafter, he smiled and made a call.
Draxton’s expression froze slightly. He could not help but ask, “Joshua, what do you mean? Shouldn't | be the one to call her?” Joshua smiled at him again and said to Thomas and Tyson, Did you see? Mr. Lockwood has a good temper “But as his men, we can’t go along with him for everything just because he has a good temper. Respecting Mrs.
Lockwood is the way to go. Do you understand?” Tyson and Thomas were speechless.
“Seriously? “If we really do that, won't we be punished by Mr. Lockwood?”
