Chapter 1422: Chapter 775: Dragon Gate Chapter 1422: Chapter 775: Dragon Gate He hurriedly adjusted his expression and first bowed respectfully to the old master, his voice tinged with a trace of panic: “Old Ancestor, why have you come over?”
Old Master Fred Wright gave him a stern look, his eyes filled with authority and dissatisfaction, and he let out a cold snort from his nose: “Why can’t I come over? With such a serious matter occurring, how long were you planning to keep me in the dark? Were you waiting for things to get out of hand and unmanageable before you would inform me?”
Oliver Wright was so terrified by the old master’s glare that he shivered. He quickly shook his head, his voice trembling a little: “Old Ancestor, it’s not like that. This matter hasn’t been concluded yet, so we didn’t dare to report it rashly, for fear that it might turn out to be a huge misunderstanding, which would cause you unnecessary worry.”
After hearing this, Fred Wright’s expression softened slightly, but his gaze still carried sternness: “Hmm, a misunderstanding? Do you think this is a child’s play? The reputation and safety of the Wright Family cannot afford any carelessness. I must personally inquire into this matter and see how exactly you have handled it!”
As he spoke, Fred Wright sat down in the main seat and swept his gaze across everyone in the hall, finally resting on Oliver Wright. Seeing this, Oliver Wright hurriedly stepped forward and stood beside the old master, waiting respectfully for further instructions.
Fred Wright was silent for a moment, then slowly began speaking: “Oliver, recount the series of events to me once more, and don’t leave anything out.”
Oliver Wright quickly nodded and told the old master everything about the incident, not daring to withhold any details because he knew how important this matter was to the Wright Family. As he spoke, he kept an eye on the old master’s expression, fearing that he might erupt in anger.
However, after listening, Fred Wright did not explode in anger but pondered for a moment. He could see that both Oliver Wright and Logan acted with the reputation and safety of the Wright Family in mind and had not purposely concealed anything. With this realization, his expression improved slightly, and he waved to Oliver Wright, signaling him to sit down: “Oliver, you did the right thing. When an incident occurs, it’s vital to ascertain the truth without delay. However, remember, the reputation and safety of the Wright Family cannot be preserved through concealment and delay. Only by facing the problem can it be resolved.”
Hearing this, Oliver Wright nodded his agreement and felt a sense of relief. He knew that although the old master was strict, he was also a reasonable person. As long as their intentions were for the good of the Wright Family, the old master wouldn’t easily blame them.
Old Master Wright’s gaze shifted to Logan, who was sitting aside. He was initially startled, then a warm smile appeared on his face as he nodded towards Logan with a tone of curiosity and affection: “Little Friend Roshe, how come you visit the Wright Family today? What a rare guest.”
Logan, maintaining his usual calm demeanor, slightly bowed to show politeness, then spoke at length about the reason for his visit: “Old Master Wright, I have come today for matters related to forging. I’ve recently made a breakthrough in my forging skills and came to the Wright Family for an exchange and learning opportunity. I also wanted to observe the Wright Family’s forging techniques; I didn’t expect to encounter this issue.”
The old master was genuinely surprised upon hearing this; he hadn’t expected Logan, at his young age, to achieve such skill in forging and couldn’t help but exclaim: “Little Friend Roshe has successfully done this independently for the first time, and has even identified issues in our Wright Family’s forging. Haha, indeed it’s said that ‘heroes emerge from youth’! You’re truly admirable and formidable!”
At this point, Old Master Wright’s gaze unconsciously shifted toward Oliver Wright and the images of other Wright Family disciples that came to mind, reflecting a complex emotion in his eyes. The more he admired Logan, the more frustrated he felt with his own family’s young ones. He inwardly sighed, acknowledging that while there were a few outstanding talents in the younger generation of the Wright Family, very few could compare to Logan.
