Chapter 79 Returning To Horington

Amber’s father, Robert Johnson, looked like he was forty years old. In actual fact, he was fifty years old. Robert was wearing a white shirt. He was in good shape and was not chubby at all. Most wealthy tycoons had big bellies, after all. He exuded a sense of superiority from the way he carried himself.

Robert was a city official in Jadeborough, a city that was near Horington. Although Jadeborough was not as densely populated as Horington, it still had a population of three million people. Robert was also relatively young compared to the other city officials. He had a lot of room for improvement.

“Mr. Johnson, Amber’s condition has stabilized.” Jonathan faced Robert, looking a little remorseful. After all, Amber only got seriously hurt because she followed him. He continued, “She’s in a coma now, possibly because she got hypnotized. I know a way to wake her up, but I need to bring her back to Horington first.”

Robert stared at Jonathan with a complicated look on his face. Amber, my precious little girl. I’ve always pampered you since you were young. You were always very obedient, though, so you made me feel at ease.

It was safe to say that Robert was in a very bad mood. His daughter was in a coma, and he was very angry. However, he was an influential figure in the city. There was no way he would allow himself to take his anger out on Jonathan. As Jonathan reassured Robert that Amber would be all right, Robert asked in a low tone, “What is the situation?” He paused before continuing, “I’ve heard about what kind of person Zachary is. He used to be a major-general, so his marksmanship is quite good. I knew that Amber could never have caught him.”

Jonathan could sympathize with Robert. I know exactly what I’d do if it was my own daughter who was lying on the bed. I’d kill the guy responsible for doing this to her!

Since he did not want to hide anything from Robert, Jonathan immediately started explaining everything from their confrontation with Felicia from Golden Years. He admitted that he and Amber were friends and that he had brought Amber to break through Felicia’s force field, and so on and so forth.

Robert had already known about the situation regarding Golden Years. Amber was once heartbroken when her colleague died there. Robert also paid attention to that incident before. Unfortunately, despite his authority, he could not do anything about Golden Years.

“How foolish!” Robert could not help but shout when Jonathan told him that he broke into Golden Years with Amber.

Jonathan smiled cheekily. He responded, “Mr. Johnson, what I’m about to tell you next might be even harder to believe. But trust me when I say that everything I’m telling you is true.”

Robert stated in a serious tone, “Tell me, then!”

Jonathan did not intend to hide anything, hence why he proceeded to tell Robert everything from start to finish. He even talked about how they were caught by the Crimson Onyx Sect. However, Jonathan avoided talking about the Great Tribulation and the Chosen One. He simply said that he had been kept in a building where there was Percy’s stuff.

Robert’s eyes widened. He had been in power for many years, so he had seen more than his fair share of strange things. However, he still found it hard to believe what Jonathan was saying.

When Jonathan finished speaking, Robert’s face softened a bit. He asked, “Having said all that, I take it that you were the one who saved Amber? Do I owe you my thanks?”

Jonathan did not want to take the credit for that. He quickly replied, “Mr. Johnson, Amber got in danger precisely because of me. I didn’t take good care of her. I take full responsibility for that.”

Robert looked at Jonathan intensely. This young man is very honest, brave, and responsible.

Robert had witnessed a lot of hypocrisy for networking purposes in the political world. All the young people I’ve met would always butter their words as they try to climb the political ladder. Those who have fathers in high positions of power tend to be very arrogant. This is the first time I’ve met a young person like Jonathan.

Robert always felt that his daughter was different from other girls. He often worried about her marriage prospects. I always thought that ordinary people were not worthy of my daughter. But Jonathan? This young man seems very suitable for my daughter!

Robert’s mind had changed on the spot. However, he kept a placid expression on his face.

Jonathan did not know this, though. He was a little uneasy while standing in front of Robert. His daughter ended up like this because of me! I can’t justify that no matter how hard I try, nor do I want to!
