Given the current situation, trying to win Carson\u2019s favor again is going to be a long and tough road. Carson is wise. Bringing up sensitive topics in front of him is probably a lost cause.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Tristan thought for a moment, then shifted his gaze to Cherise. This young lady must be Morris\u2019s wife, right?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cherise had a rough idea of the relationship between Carson and Tristan. Recalling her conversation with Lydia a few days ago, she had a general sense of what was going on. Politely, she nodded gently and replied, \u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tristan, hearing Cherise\u2019s confirmation, continued, \u201cThen I must extend my congratulations. Mrs. Jarrett has already sent the wedding invitation to the Walton family. A perfect match, indeed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThank you,\u201d Cherise responded with gratitude to the compliment.<\/p>\n<p>Carson glanced at them and added, \u201cYour main job is to ensure the safety and security of the city. On the day of Cherise\u2019s wedding, we\u2019ll be counting on you. After all, neither Morris nor Cherise is an ordinary person.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tristan nodded. \u201cNext Saturday, right? No problem at all. With me on duty, you can rest easy about the security in Betrico.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Carson\u2019s words seemed to put some pressure on Tristan, but he was preparing for Morris and Cherise\u2019s wedding. It was also a subtle reminder to Tristan not to cause any trouble at their wedding, neither he nor his family, including the security arrangements in Betrico.<\/p>\n<p>Tristan understood Carson\u2019s message clearly. With Cherise still present, there wasn\u2019t much more to say. After some small talk, he left the island.<\/p>\n<p>As soon as he got in the car, he told the driver and assistant in front, \u201cSpread the word about my visit to Mr. Dorian Finch today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Then, he looked back at the island in the middle of the lake.<\/p>\n<p>It was clear that even at his age, Carson still held significant influence and status in Betrico.<\/p>\n<p>Arthur had risen to his current position under Carson\u2019s guidance, which was a source of regret for Tristan. He thought, \u2018If only I didn\u2019t make the wrong choice back then, maybe things would be different today!\u2018<\/p>\n<p>He couldn\u2019t help but feel a mix of regret, frustration, and ambition as he slowly drove away.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis parents were just from ordinary wealthy families, and many people looked down on him. Fortunately, he made it through. Tristan underestimated my influence and resources in Betrico back then. Just losing my legs wasn\u2019t going to shake my foundation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cArthur is loyal. In the years after my amputation, he often took time out of his schedule to come to Larkston and take care of me. He had just entered that field, and being away from Betrico often could have ruined his career,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, I promised him a bright future and asked him what he wanted to do. His answer was very clear, and that\u2019s one of the reasons he\u2019s in the position he is today. He\u2019s talented in his own right,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Hearing this, Cherise finally understood everything. She looked at Carson and asked, \u201cSo, Carson, when you told me before about Morris\u2019s uncle\u2013Arthur and said I should help him if I can you were talking about Tristan?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Carson nodded. \u201cExactly. Tristan\u2019s ambition was already showing when we were at the Military Academy for Young Leaders I thought I could change him, but I overestimated myself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cherise pursed her lips, thinking back to what Lydia had said in the dungeon of the Dark Web Division a few days ago. In the next moment, her eyes widened as she pieced things together in her mind.<\/p>\n<p>She thought, \u2018So when Lydia was in the dungeon of the Dark Webb Division, she was testing Morris and the true strength of the Dark Web Division. They are father and daughter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-559","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/559","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=559"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
