Chapter 45: Sound Them Out

Austin’s POV:

“Mr.Jones, your brother and Miss Smith have arrived.Would you like to invite them in now?”

I was dealing with state affairs in the study when an attendant came to inform me about Anthony and Jennifer’s arrival.

I raised my gaze from the documents on the desk and stared at the door.

It was hot outside.

I really wished that I could make Anthony wait longer in the burning heat, but I couldn’t humiliate him like that for the time being.

That bastard had been lucky enough to survive.

But since he had come back alive, I had to express my condolences to him in person.

In this way, I could not only show my concern for my younger brother to the elders, but I could also take the opportunity to ask Anthony about those vampires.

Moreover, I was curious about the trainee who had been caught together with Anthony.

Even though Anthony had been up against so many vampires, he had managed to escape in the end.

I highly suspected that the trainee had made a great contribution.

“Call them in,” I ordered.

“Yes, Mr.Jones.”

Not long after, the attendant returned to the room with Anthony, who was followed by a beautiful girl.

I heard that this she-wolf was the strongest one among the current trainees.

Now that I saw her in person, I was even more interested in her.

I sat upright, feeling a lot less upset all of a sudden.

“Greetings, Mr.Jones .”

The two of them greeted me and bowed to me.

I wasn’t pleased to see Anthony, but as reluctant as I was, I had to come to him and help him up.

I wished that Anthony would’ve died in the vampires’ territory, but he was lucky enough to survive.

Now, I had to pretend to show my condolences to him.
