Chapter 434: Chapter 428: Furious
Translator: 549690339
Norton James was now looking utterly stupefied, and everyone who had witnessed the scene that afternoon couldnât help but divert their attention to him. Recalling how Finn Lewis had called Norton James stingy that afternoon, and how Norton James had pretentiously carried himself then, everyone found thisâŚindescribably humorous, staring at James from their perspective which seemed peculiar as never before.
Norton James felt hot all over his face now, and it seemed as though everyone was looking at him as if he was a massive idiot. In fact, it was pretty much the case since everyone was looking at him like he was a fool. Thinking about the incidents that happened in the afternoon, particularly the last sentence that Lewis said before leaving, everyone found the scene absurdly comical.
Finally, someone couldnât help but burst out laughing. The only person who dared to openly laugh like that was Elegant Skyâother people did not dare to casually offend Norton James. Although Elegant Sky knew who James was, James didnât recognize Sky.
Norton James felt as though there was a raging fire burning within his chest. He desperately wanted to vent, but he knew that he absolutely couldnât lose his temper here; otherwise, the consequences would be severe. Swallowing the discomfort in his heart, he hesitantly spoke out, âGrandfather Davis, Iâm not feeling well and would like to take a walk, so I wonât be accompanying you for dinner.â
âOff you go, off you go.â The old man was well aware of the reasons behind Nortonâs discomfort. Forcing Norton to stay here would be worse than killing him, so the old man let him leave without hesitation.
Once Norton James was gone, his father naturally couldnât stay either. He quickly said, âUh, old man, Iâll go check on him,â and hurriedly followed his son. Grandfather Davis didnât make a fuss about it, just gave a small shake of his head and let out a sigh before turning to go inside, with everyone following suit.
Once they stepped inside, the old man sat down in his seat, tapped his glass against the table, and addressed those in the room: âLook at you all! You underestimate others because of your myopia. Are you all speechless now? Have you gone dumb? This afternoon I already sensed something was wrong, if I didnât say anything. Cypress Davis, did you know that Johnsonâs grandson was here?â freewŃbnoνel.com
âDad, I, uhâŚI didnât know about this,â Cypress Davis answered, laughing awkwardly.
âHmph! Cypress Davis, let me tell you. As long as I live for one more day, you wonât have a say in Kayâs matters. You know what kind of person you are, and yet you dare to interfere in Kayâs marriage? If you still harbor this idea, get the hell out of here now! Youâre not welcome here anymore. And the rest of you, also hear this!â The old man looked directly at his children.
âDad, I was wrong. Please donât be upset. Itâs your birthday today, and anger isnât good for your health. I didnât mean to interfere. As a father, I should at least be allowed to ask about it, right?â Cypress Davis quickly responded.
Kay Lee wanted to say something, but Amelia Lee quickly stopped her, so she didnât speak.
Out of the Davis manor, Norton James kicked violently at a parked car next to him. He howled in both fury and pain: âDamn it!â He was just about to pick up a rock to smash the car when a voice stopped him: âWhat are you doing? Do you think youâve not made a big enough fool of yourself?â
âDad.â Jamesâs father who had rushed over quickly snatched the rock from Jamesâs hand. It didnât matter how much the car cost; it could be smashed without a second thought. However, if they smashed the car here, it was obvious that it would cause disturbances, and it would just embarrass them even more.
âWhat did I tell you? To know yourself and your enemy is the sure way to win every battle. You didnât even know the strength of your opponent and you still acted recklessly? So do you think youâve disgraced yourself enough?â
âI know.â Norton James hung his head and spoke honestly. Despite his tone revealing nothing, the resentment in his eyes could not be hidden. He had never been so humiliated before in his life.
âYou know? You know shit. Norton James, let me warn you, stay as far away as possible from Kay Lee. There are so many women out there, what kind do you want to play around with? Donât stir up trouble for me. Do you think that guy is easy to push around? Your grandfather has been retired for a long time now. Although he still has some connections, do you think people would be afraid of you seeing their relationship with the military today? Donât foolishly get yourself involved later. Iâm telling you, donât cause trouble for me in the next few years! Do you see any pampered rich kids causing trouble domestically now?â Nortonâs father scolded fiercely.

That probably wouldnât happen, would it? However, once the little wildcat had put it on, it started working. âMr. Lewis, how are you feeling?â The pilotâs voice sounded in Lewisâs ear.
âWell, donât worry. I have a strong physique.â Lewis replied with a smile. Hearing Lewisâs voice, the pilot heaved a sigh of relief.
Lewis had already handed over the relevant materials to Zero for delivery. By the time he arrived in Celeston City, the goods would have arrived at the warehouse, so there was no need to worry. Even for this airplane, it would need an hour or two to fly back here, but the capabilities of these planes could not be compared to civilian aircraft. Within a few minutes, it had already climbed to over 10,000 meters in the sky.
âMr. Lewis, we are now about to go into supersonic flight,â the Firebird once again informed him.
âYes, you can begin. Iâve never been on a plane before,â Lewis replied, his voice eager. Indeed, the experience of riding a Thunderhawk was greatly different from being a passenger on a regular plane.
As Lewisâs words fell, he soon felt an immense push-back force. With the roar of the engine, Lewis suddenly felt an eerie silence, as though he had suddenly stepped from Earth into space, with absolutely no sound reaching his ears. He realized this was the effect once the plane reached supersonic speed.
Seconds later, the sound returned, and the voice came back as though returning from a far off distance, âMr. Lewis, are you feeling uncomfortable?â
âNo, it feels great. This experience is rather magical,â Lewis replied with a smile.
The pilot finally relaxed. It seemed Finn Lewisâs body was indeed as strong as he had claimed. The screening for pilots was indeed rigorous. Generally, people are unable to tolerate such strong acceleration. âBy the way, I wanted to ask, this plane isnât a plane, is it? Is it a trainer?â Lewis asked curiously.
Speed wasnât something a commercial flight could compare to, especially the one Finn Lewis was on now, which was traveling at more than Mach 2. The plane landed at the Celeston City International Airport in less than an hour. However, the plane landed in an extremely remote runway, hence the regular passengers could probably not see it.
