The Robin Hood Society (Jacob And The Heiress) - Chapter 658

Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, in a city at the northern edge of the mountain range that forms the natural border between two countries, Elder Parker is taking a stroll to one of the city’s famous boulevards enjoying the scenic view of the mountain range.

“I see you find yourself a perfect place to spend your golden years Elder Parker,” Lance said while walking alongside with Elder Parker.

Since it is summer in the city, Lance is wearing casual summer shorts and a t-shirt and a pair of loafers. He looked like a celebrity wearing a classic aviator sunglasses trying to escape the limelight by taking a vacation in a not so populated yet worthy to spend a vacation place.

“You are right, young man. I don’t like the dense city lifestyle and its exorbitant cost of living.” Elder Parker said thou almost 90 years old, he still exudes that strong and domineering aura from him. He could still walk without any aid or anyone helping him.

One would be surprised if they found out that the old man lives alone in that city away from his family and friends.

“Why here among other retirement places? You could’ve chosen, Mt. Celandine or Hellebore if you want high altitudes like this or Crocus or Lantana if you want a place near the ocean?” Lance asked. If he wanted to take that old man back to Lotus City, he has to get his trust first.

The day that he visited J at Twelve Army with Lily and her parents, he found the location of Elder Parker with the help of some of the best trackers in the Society. He even asked for Leo’s help. Knowing that he is the best when it comes to tracking people.

Until finally he succeeded and the moment he receives the news, he eventually booked a flight. Thou he told Lily that he will be gone for a few days for a business trip, he didn’t tell her that that business involves her grandfather. He has to make sure that the old man is really in the place that he was told.

He didn’t even tell J about it to avoid giving them false hope.

And now that he indeed found the old man, he has to convince him to go back to Lotus City with him. If he succeeded in convincing him, he’ll tell J and Lily. He if failed, he’ll ask help from Jacob or J.

“Hmm…don’t you think this place is a perfect retirement place? The arts, the culture, the scenery, the climate, the boulevard where you can take a stroll not worrying that someone might suddenly press a gun or knife on your backside and ask for your money or watch, the castles and of course, the low cost of living.”

Elder Parker said then he stopped in one of the small panels in the boulevard. The boulevard runs along a terrace over the cliff. It is a perfect place for morning jogs and an exceptionally romantic place during the sunset.

Lance chuckled. “You worry too much about living expenses when you can even buy one of the castles here with your wealth.”

“Ah…my wealth. I already left them to my son and grandchildren.” Elder Parker said then he started walking again. Lance just followed him.

Finally, Lance finds the right chance to talk about the topic involving his grandchildren especially those that concern Jacob and J. “Right, your grandchildren were looking for you. Especially, Jacob.”

“That boy. He is too capable, even much capable than me. What else does he want from me? I even got him a wife.”

Lance can’t help but smile internally. The old man is giving him chances to talk about Jacob and J. He’ll find out the reason for their marriage in time.

“They wanted to find out why did you and Elder Do arranged their marriage,” Lance said not sounding like he is getting information from him.

“What for? It’s not like they are against it anyway.”

Lance was taken aback but he didn’t show it to the old man. It looks like he knows that the relationship between Jacob and J had developed in a romantic way. So, it turns out that Elder Parker has been monitoring his family back in Lotus City after all.

Does Elder Parker also know that he is Lily’s boyfriend? That his whole family now is a member of the Robin Hood Society. That J recently had an assassination attempt. That Jack Ogden, his old friend came attempting to make chaos in the Robin Hood Society and the Twelve Army. And that his grandson, Alex Ogden is trying to steal the woman he chose for his son to be his wife?
