Chapter 17 Old Howlett’S Request! Hearing About The Witcher For The First Time!
In the early morning, the free-range roosters in the manor croaked crisply.
After a night of hard work, Lin Feng stood up refreshed.
After a little movement of the body, playing Baduanjin, the bones and joints of the whole body made a few crisp sounds, and the muscles in several places stretched out before slowly closing the exercise.
Gently ringing the copper bell, the maid waiting outside the door respectfully brought a hot breakfast.
Aita Lisa lazily opened her eyes, she was Lin An Lan’s mother, because of her daughter’s dual abilities, she was also a favored concubine.
After washing up a bit, she changed into a pink corset dress, walked to the dining table, put her arms around the man’s neck, and sat on his lap.
Shui Lingling’s big eyes looked at her husband with admiration, and there was indescribable satisfaction in the blurred eyes.
“Master got up so early today, is there any important event in the family?”
Lin Feng ate slowly and patted her plump buttocks.
“It’s no big deal, old Mr. Howlett, and James and I are invited as guests.”
“There is no class today on the weekend, so I just took him back to have a look.”
The corners of Atarisa’s mouth curled up slightly.
“That kid is really nice, An Lan is finally not skipping class now, thanks to him helping to watch!”
Lin Feng nodded, ate the last piece of steak, and wiped his mouth gracefully with a napkin.
When there are many children, there are always some naughty ones, but it is really rare for a small person like An Lan to have the courage to go to the moon and sea to catch turtles.
Sometimes he is also reflecting on the fact that he was a little too pampered to An Lan before, so he developed her character of fearlessness.
One cannot be too cowardly and timid, but it is even more dangerous to lose the sense of awe in the Marvel world with gods and demons.
Atarisa reluctantly got up, and attentively served her man to get dressed.
When her slender fingers slid across her thick chest, it always brought back wonderful memories of last night.
Grabbing her troublesome little hand, Lin Feng looked in the mirror, straightened the tie with the other hand and said in a low voice.
“Little goblin who can’t get enough to eat, the master has business to do, next time I will definitely clean you up so that you are obedient!”
After saying that, he took off the top hat from the hanger, and walked out of the room under Atalisa’s fiery eyes.
In the lobby on the first floor, James, dressed in denim, kept pacing back and forth.
When he saw Lin Feng coming down the stairs, his eyes lit up, and he asked with a bit of trepidation.
“Father, take a look, what do I look like? Does it look like a brave cowboy, a heroic explorer of the New World?”
He turned around, showing off his attire, his eyes full of anticipation.
Lin Feng nodded and said with a relieved smile.
“James, you have grown up. Old Mr. Howlett will be very happy to see you like this.”
James was a little dazed, he was 16 years old, didn’t he already grow up?
This old-fashioned denim outfit was a gift from the old Mr. Howlett to James, and it was exactly the same as what he wore when he set foot on the land of Ghana.
Ten years have passed and John Howlett failed to regenerate the blood of the Howlett family. On the contrary, because his health is getting worse and worse every night, and he spends energy on women unrestrainedly, he may still walk in the old Howlett family. special front.
“Hehe, it doesn’t matter if you don’t understand now, you will understand when you become a father.”
“This suit is not only a gift, but also represents the spirit of the old Mr. Howlett. He hopes that you can pass on the spirit of the Howlett family.”
Looking at James scratching his head, Lin Feng put his arm around his shoulder and smiled.
Side by side, the father and son walked out of the gate of the house, got on their horses and galloped towards Howlett Manor.
…
At the gate of Howlett Manor, the elderly Mr. Howlett looked at the end of the road with a cane.
The once straight back was bent, and the sharp and clear eyes were covered with a layer of gray.
The well-known ‘Bloodmane’ was already old and suffered from mild cataracts. He could no longer see the scene in front of him clearly, but he still insisted on looking into the distance.
“I’m coming!”
Suddenly a high-pitched cry sounded from the tower on the courtyard wall.
“Mr. Howlett, I see Master James!”
“He and Mr. Lin Feng rode over together.”
The lookout excitedly waved the flag in his hands, telling the hidden secret sentry that the person who came was one of his own.
Old Mr. Howlett’s lips twitched, his hand holding the walking stick trembled, and the servant who served him hurriedly helped him to sit on the saddle.
“Don’t get too excited, Dr. Thomson said, keep calm.”
The servant patted the old man’s back worriedly, soothing his agitated emotions so as not to relapse.
“I’m fine, Carls, go down and tell the kitchen to cook some dishes that James likes.”
“God will not call me, not yet!”
“I still want to watch my grandson grow up, don’t worry Carls, hurry up and do what needs to be done.”
Carls left helplessly, looking back from time to time.
Not long after, the gate of the manor slowly opened, Lin Feng and James rode in, and jumped off the horse in front of the old Mr. Howlett.
“Grandpa, why are you sitting here, and there is no one to serve you?”
James was full of worries. The old man was still in good spirits when he returned last year.
Unexpectedly, within a year, Grandpa didn’t even seem to see him walking in front of him.
Old Howlett heard the voice of his grandson whom he missed day and night, and tried to open his eyes wide to see clearly, but a thin white film covered his pupils.
Stretching out his shriveled hands tremblingly, he groped towards the place where the sound came from.
James felt sore in his heart, and quickly grabbed the old man’s hand, tears streaming down his face.
“Grandpa James’ great grandson, the men of the Howlett family never shed tears!”
The old Mr. Howlett obviously missed his grandson very much, but he still scolded him in a stern tone.
“Mr. Lin, I want to talk about you…”
After teaching his grandson, the old man pointed at Lin Feng.
James looked at his adoptive father apologetically, his eyes full of prayers, hoping that he would not argue with the old man.
Lin Feng shook his head and looked at the stubborn old man.
“I don’t agree with Mr. Howlett’s words. Shedding tears for the loved ones is the most loving person!”
“Don’t you want James to be a cold-blooded person?”
Old Howlett was stunned, stroked his grandson’s hand and smiled wryly.
“Mr. Lin is right, I am too extreme.”
He tried hard to stand up, but his flabby legs couldn’t do it.
James and Lin Feng quickly helped him up, the old Howlett thumped his thigh, waved the crutch in his hand, and said slowly.
“It’s useless to be old, let’s go in and eat!”
The two supported the old Howlett and walked slowly into the manor.
The musketeers from the Lin family were chatting with the housekeeper of Howlett Manor, watching them enter the house from afar.
“Everyone, follow me to the guest room to rest. The master probably has a lot of things to tell Mr. Lin and James.”
“It’s not a solution for you to stand here and wait. Don’t worry. In Howlett Manor, no one dares to disrespect Mr. Lin!”
The old butler was not young anymore, and he couldn’t bear to stand by him for a while.
The musketeers nodded and followed the old butler to the guest room not far away.
Lin Feng, who followed the grandfather and grandson walking into the house, turned his head, met the gaze of the captain Lin Zhennan from a distance, and made a subtle gesture.
Seeing Lin Zhennan responding with corresponding gestures, Lin Feng ignored the carefully avoided servants and continued to help the old man walk in.
In the restaurant, James gobbled it up, and the old Howlett looked at his grandson kindly.
Lin Feng, who had breakfast at home, sipped slowly with a cup of black tea.
“Eat slowly, what’s more, the food at home is delicious, right?”
“Seeing how delicious your food is, the old man has a big appetite, so he can order more food.”
His current teeth can no longer eat beef, but in order to have more energy to talk to his grandson, he still forced himself to eat a piece of soft pastry.
After eating, the three of them came to Mr. Howlett’s study.
Under the service of James, the old man leaned on the recliner and picked up an elegant dark yellow ivory pipe, and shuffled it into the shredded tobacco to light it.
James wanted to stop, but was stopped by Lin Feng.
Pat clap clack!
The flint collided with gorgeous sparks, igniting the tobacco in the pipe.
The old man took a few puffs, exhaled a big smoke ring, and said with a faint smile.
“James, Grandpa doesn’t have much time left, and your father’s health is not good. The inheritance of the Howlett family cannot be broken. From now on, you must carry the banner of the Howlett family.”
“With Mr. Lin’s support, I don’t think there will be much problem.”
While talking, he suddenly coughed violently, his face flushed.
James quickly patted him on the back to help the old man calm down.
“Grandpa, what nonsense are you talking about, your body is still strong, and you will live a long life.”
The old man waved his hand with a wry smile, took his grandson’s hand, and said solemnly to Lin Feng.
“My body is clear on my own, and it’s been the past two years. Mr. Lin, I ask you one thing, you must help me take good care of this child and continue the Howlett family.”
Lin Feng laughed, hugged James and said.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Howlett, James is also my son, and I’m his adoptive father!”
After getting his promise, the old Howley let out a long breath, and all the worries in his heart were swept away.
How powerful the Lin family is, the old man knows very well that the little wealth of the Howlett family is not worth plotting against the man in front of him.
After entrusting the family continuation to hand over, the old Howlett seemed to relax a bit, and chatted with his grandson about interesting things about him when he was young, which made James look embarrassed, and it was not easy to interrupt the old man’s interest.
After chatting for a while, the old Howlett sent his grandson to bed and turned on some kerosene lamps on the table.
“Mr. Lin must have guessed it, this time you are invited, not just entrusting James and the Howlett family to you.”
“You should know more about the recent news from Ottawa than I do.”
“The new Governor Edmund is not kind!”
Lin Feng nodded, narrowed his eyes and said coldly.
“The purpose of this Governor-General is nothing more than to cancel the profit-sharing policy of the year and increase the taxation indicators of Alberta!”
“Hehe, he has a good idea. We overcame obstacles and thorns to create such a huge foundation.”
“An idiot who just arrived here wants to pick peaches from us. He really wants to go crazy!”
Old Howlett laughed loudly, clapped his hands in approval and said loudly.
“Yeah, just an idiot!”
The old man also couldn’t understand the ugly appearance of the new governor, but he continued to speak with a little worry when he thought of the information he had obtained from the British mainland.
“But this idiot should not be underestimated, he brought a strong military force, and…”
Speaking of this, the old Howlett looked at Lin Feng meaningfully.
“There is also a demon hunter sent by the Holy See. I heard that they are very powerful and far superior to ordinary people.”
