Chapter 220 - The Tower of Locke!
Chapter 220: The Tower of Locke!
On one hand, it was out of loyalty and affection. On the other hand, Dickens had long wanted to open his own market in Heavenly City!
As a black market merchant, his ideals and goals were equally ambitious!
Heavenly City was the heart of the continent!
Who would not want to make a difference there?
“We must open up a new market in Heavenly City! Now is a good opportunity…”
Harrington Company, one of the best companies in the world, had been destroyed by Locke. Now, was of course, a good time to invade the market!
With this experienced person and a team by his side, Locke could effectively reduce his dependence on the royal family in the future.
Locke could also let them do many chores. In addition, they could also make money!
This was definitely a win-win situation!
After a series of mental calculations, Dickens said with certainty, “The Holy City is now peaceful and stable. I only need to leave 20 most loyal people to manage it! I’ll take the remaining 30 leaders and 200 people to enter the black market of the Holy City!”
“Don’t worry about the start-up capital. It’ll definitely be enough…”
Dickens had a plan in mind and planned everything within 10 minutes.
“Then it’s settled! I will not care about the rest of the trivial matters. After the graduation ceremony, we’ll prepare to set off!”
There was another purpose for this arrangement. It was the matter between Lawrence and Rosetti!
This was because Dickens did not seem to like that little fatty, thinking that he was not worthy of his daughter’s looks.
With Locke’s arrangement, Dickens naturally could not care about it in the future.
It could be considered a gift for his two classmates!
…
No one knew who had leaked the news.
The next day, Adelaide had the head butler, Löw, come to pick him up at Locke’s house.
“Mr. Locke, once you leave, I’ll really be lonely…” Adelaide looked sad and sighed twice.
“It’s not like I’m not coming back. Besides, with my classmates as bodyguards in your house, your safety is definitely not a problem. I can also retire with honor!” Locke tasted the fat foie gras and enjoyed it very much.
“Thanks to you, I have the opportunity to invest in the academy. Mr. Locke… Oh no! Mr. Viscount, I also have friends in the Heavenly City. If you need my help, just call me!”
Adelaide was a generous friend and Locke valued him very much.
After putting down his knife and fork, Locke said, “After all, the Heavenly City is the heart of the continent. There must be many connections and magical things. I’ll pay attention to your curse!”
During the last trip to the palace, he had not gained anything regarding the curse.
Since Locke was going to the Heavenly City this time, he would also take this matter to heart.
Adelaide was a very sensible and generous person. As for the reward and gratitude, he was not worried at all.
“Then… Then I’ll have to trouble you! Let me know if you need help!” Adelaide looked grateful and raised his glass to Locke.
…
Today’s graduation ceremony was definitely the most special in the history of the academy.
This was because there was only one graduate.
All the instructors and students, Adelaide, Dickens, and their parents were here.
The cheers and the sound of mobile phones and cameras could not be stopped.
On the stage, Locke said some soothing words and was ready to leave.
However, Hobrick put his arm around Locke’s shoulder, took the microphone, and said, “Everyone look back!”
Everyone turned their heads in unison.
They saw a building in the distance covered by a huge purple cloth.
Tristan gave Diana a look and the latter understood.
The five Global Sentinels hidden in the dark immediately flew toward the building.
They lifted the purple cloth!
A white tower appeared in front of everyone!
This was the new Tower of Glory of the academy!
There was only one person’s name on it – Locke! This was the Tower of Glory that only belonged to him!
Looking at his own name inlaid with gold, Locke felt an indescribable excitement in his heart.
However, his face was still calm and indifferent as he said, “Old man, when did you become so generous? This tower costs a lot of money, right?”
Hobrick did not blame Locke for his teasing. Instead, he opened his arms and hugged this student that he loved the most. “Hahaha! Child, this is a gift for you! Your name will always be with the Federation Academy!”
Upon hearing the principal’s words, some of the instructors and students were moved to tears.
At this moment, Adelaide also went on stage and said, “Today is a memorable day for the academy! As a member here, I’ve already discussed it with the principal! There’s no class today! I’ve brought the best chef team! Let’s have a good party tonight!”
Just as he finished speaking, a mighty motorcade arrived at the large square!
Even after ten minutes later, the tail of the motorcade could not be seen.
The leader was naturally the head butler, Löw. The moment he got off the car, he ran over and said, “Everyone! My master has arranged the best dishes and fine wine for everyone! Let’s enjoy it together!”
“That’s great!”
“The count is really too generous!”
“Oh my god! He’s a singer! Is he here to perform?”
“I think I smell the smell of snow pork…”
The happiest people were naturally Lawrence and Rosetti!
Looking at the food and kitchen utensils that had been unloaded from the car, they held hands and ran over!
“Brat! Let go of your hand…”
Dickens’ voice had long been covered by the instructors and students.
“Locke, now that you’re a noble, you have to be more careful with your words and actions! It’s not that we hate the nobles, but we hate the nobles who use their direct power to do some b*stard things. I have to explain this to you clearly…”
At this moment, the thousands of instructors and students in the square were celebrating. Only Tristan still had a serious look on his face.
“Don’t worry, I didn’t take this title seriously. If you didn’t tell me, I wouldn’t even remember this.” Locke clinked glasses with a few of his classmates.
Jacques could not stand it anymore and patted his old buddy’s shoulder. “Don’t you know what kind of person Locke is? What noble or not noble? He’s him! Don’t be so serious! Drink!”
Tristan smiled embarrassingly, picked up a bottle of beer, and drank with Locke.
John also led his classmates to dance beside the bonfire.
“Locke! Don’t forget us when you become rich in the future…” Diana hugged Douglas’ thick arm and went forward to congratulate him.
“Don’t forget to inform me when you get married! Also, if there are any other secrets in the undead department, remember to tell me too…” Locke and Douglas’ wine glasses collided.
“Hehe! I haven’t agreed to marry him yet!” Diana’s words caused the surrounding people to laugh happily.
Only Dickens kept staring at his daughter and Lawrence in the distance. He became more and more suspicious. Did Locke pull him to Heavenly City to create an opportunity for his classmates?
