Chapter 834


    Later on, when Devin joined the army, his physical prowess became even more pronounced.


    Within a mere few years, he had been promoted from a low-rank soldier to his current position. There


    were many envious eyes following his rise through the ranks.


    However, he knew his Grandpa had always preferred ‘schrs’.


    Schrs had brains and intellect, and that was what his Grandpa respected.


    For example, his Uncle Shin.


    Another example is Uncle Shin’s son, Sebastian.


    Devin stood in front of the mirror for a long while, ring at the image reflected back at him. The mist


    from the hot water had already risen all around him before he pulled himself away and walked into the


    shower.


    Rather than trying to change himself to live up to his Grandpa’s expectations, perhaps it was better to


    just let Sebastian garner that favor.


    Sebastian, too, had heard about the n to send his two sons to Opal Garden Academy.


    Instead of feeling happy and proud of his sons’ achievements, he had mmed his pen onto the table


    and yelled, “No!”


    “Why?” Tony asked. It was him who had ryed the news to Sebastian. His eyes widened in shock when


    he heard Sebastian protest so strongly.


    “Mr. Sebastian, Opal Garden Academy is the best school in the city. Only the most deserving students


    are able to get in. No amount of influence, money, or power will get you a ce there.”


    Tony assumed that Sebastian was unaware of the school’s good reputation and hurriedly sung praises of


    the school’s merits and the privilege of being enrolled there.


    However, Sebastian had coldly retorted, “I’ve already said that they’re not going to that school. That’s the


    end of it.”


    “But…”


    “Get out!”

    Tony’s face paled at those two words. He ceased speaking immediately.


    After a few awkward minutes, he quietly retreated from the room.


    Sasha, who was in the room the entire time and who had overheard the conversation, could not help


    asking curiously, “Mr. Hayes, I know of Opal Garden Academy. It’s a great school! Why don’t you want


    your two boys to attend that school?”


    Lately, Sasha had be bolder and even dared to ask him such a question.


    Sebastian cast a nce at her.


    His face still wore an annoyed expression. “If it’s such a good school, then why didn’t the Jadesons ever


    send their heir there?”


    “Huh?” Sasha was surprised by his answer.


    It was such a strange and sudden thing to say. She did not understand where he wasing from.


    Heir of the Jadesons? Does he mean Devin? Devin didn’t graduate from Opal Garden Academy? That’s


    weird! Sasha found that hard to believe.


    However, Devin’s status as the Jadesons’ heir had only been confirmed by Jonathan when he was


    twenty-five years old. There was more to Devin than people knew.


    Sebastian only found out that Devin had gone to Nond when Sabrina told him about it.


    Sabrina: Sebastian, can you help me persuade him? Please discourage him from going to such a


    dangerous ce. Nond is a country at war with itself! I don’t how many of their riot squad officers have


    already been sacrificed. Even your father…


    Thatst sentence was left hanging. Sabrina did not send any more WhatsApp messages after that.


    The two of them understood what was left unsaid.


    Sebastian’s face paled.


    A few minutester, Sasha, who was ying with the children downstairs, saw Sebastian walking down


    the steps. He was all dressed up. Sasha was surprised; Sebastian rarely wore his formal suit. However,


    he said nothing to her and merely strode straight towards the front door.


    What’s he up to? Sasha wondered.


    She immediately sprang to her feet and ran after him.


    “Mr. Hayes, where are you going?”


    This was the first time that he had left the Oceanic Estate by himself ever since he had woken up.


    Sasha’s brows were creased with concern.


    Sebastian heard her footsteps behind him and whirled around. “Don’te with me. I’ll be back soon.”


    His voice was stern and his entire expression was rather terrifyingly sharp.


    Sasha immediately stopped following him.


    Sebastian did not mean to scare her. Anyway, he had said that he would be back soon.


    In the end, Sasha did not tail after him and stayed back in the Oceanic Estate to wait for his return.


    However, he still had note back by afternoon.


    Instead, a call came from the army for Jonathan. Apparently, Sebastian had caught wind of the news that


    Devin had gone to Nond to join their riot squad. He had immediately hired a helicopter and flown to


    Nond.


    What on earth!


    When Jonathan heard this, he got so angry that he almost fainted.


    In the end, it was Xavier who dealt with the matter. He immediately contacted the team in Nond as


    soon as he heard the news and instructed them to send Sebastian home.


    However, two days after that, Sebastian still had not returned home. Instead, something major had


    happened over at the White House. Apparently, people had suddenly been found dead.


    What was rming was the fact that three people had been found dead at the same time, and all of them


    held important posts.


    “Old Mr. Jadeson, Hubert Conrad is one of the men found dead.”


    “Oh no, Hubert?”


    Jonathan, who was already in a state of shock from the news of the deaths, choked on his breath when


    he heard Hubert’s name.


    Hubert? Isn’t he the deputy secretary of state? Alfred’s right-hand man?
