The Return of the War Legate

Chapter 724

Owen followed up and said, “Let’s talk inside, sir!”

“I’m actually here for two things, Mr. Owen. First, I’m here for a student of yours. Second, I’m here to give you a sponsorship.”

“What?”

Amid Owen’s confusion, Adrian snapped his fingers. Immediately after that, more than a dozen people got out of the cars, each carrying two briefcases, which were all placed in front of Owen.

“There’s a total of fifteen million dollars here.”

“Fifteen million dollars?!” Cheshire’s eyes widened.

“Why would you give me this much money?” Owen asked.

“It’s a gesture from Wyvern Peak. I know you’ve sponsored many orphans so that they get the chance to study, and that you’ve spent a lot of money and effort doing so. Thus, this money is a gesture from Wyvern Peak, and we hope you’ll be able to continue using this money on your students‘ studies.” All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“What?!”

Owen became nervous, while Cheshire said, “B–But this is too much, we will never finish spending it. Please take it back with you. We haven’t done anything beneficial to Wyvern Peak to deserve this much. You should use it to console the families of those who have sacrificed themselves in the line of duty instead.”

Adrian smiled and handed a document to Owen. “Here’s a donation agreement from Wyvern Peak. All fifteen million dollars shall now belong to Wellborough High from this day forward. You may use this money as a foundation for your students or use it to enhance your facilities. Either way, it’s yours.

“Also, there’s something else I’d like to ask. Is there a student by the name of Terry Jade studying here?” Adrian asked.

“Terry?” Owen nodded. “Yes, he’s studying here. Why do you ask?”

Nyssa quickly said, “Terry’s my little brother, Mr. Owen. We’ve been separated for the past six years, and I’m here to reunite with him.”

Owen took a deep breath as he looked at Nyssa. “You’re Terry’s sister? I’ve indeed heard Terry mention he has an older sister whom he got separated from. He was only ten at the time.”

In tears, Nyssa said, “Yes, that’s me. I was taken by some bad people and couldn’t go back to him. So, I asked the legate to help me find him. Please, Mr. Owen, I’d like to see him immediately!”

“I see…” Owen said, seeming surprised. “I ran into Terry a few years ago, and he was eating scraps from a rubbish heap at the time. After I heard about what he had gone through, I brought him here and provided for his studies. It’s been four years since then.”

“How’s he doing? Has he been working hard?” Nyssa asked.

“He has,” Owen continued, “He’s especially hard–working and would always be at the top of his class. He told me he wanted. to visit every city to find his sister when he grows up.”

Nyssa covered her mouth and sobbed when she heard this.

Seeing this, Cheshire quickly said, “Why are you still standing there, Owen? Hurry up and take her to him.”

“Oh! Right!” Owen gathered his thoughts and said, “It’s a weekend today, so logically, most students would be away from school at the moment. However, I think Terry’s still inside his classroom. I’ll take you to him right now.

“Come with me.”

He then led the way, with Adrian and Cheshire following behind.

Cheshire quickly said, “Sir, please take this money with you. It truly is too much for us to accept.”

Adrian turned around and smiled. “Good things will eventually happen to those who do good in this world. I’m sure you will be able to live your lives a little better with this money, so you should stop rejecting it.”

“But…”
