Protect Luther Family

[Chapter 169]

After Sandy left, David chatted with Old Master Luther. Then Old Master Luther asked Charles to accompany David, got up, and went upstairs.

Sandy was blushing throughout the whole lunch. She also kept avoiding David, not daring to look at him.

After lunch, David wanted to leave, but Old Master Luther called him to the study alone.

"Have a seat, Dave!" Rupert was sitting on the couch in his study as he spoke to David.

David sat down, kept quiet, and waited for him to say something.

Old Master Luther must have called him here for something else.

"Dave, how do you think the Luther family is doing now?" Asked Rupert.

"Celebrated!" David thought for a moment before saying.

He had no idea why Rupert was asking that. However, as far as he knew, the Luther family was celebrated in River City and the whole of South River Province.

"It was just a facade. If I were suddenly gone and no one from the Luther family could take on the burden, the Luther family would be a piece of fat meat that everyone would try to have a bite of," Rupert said with a sigh.

David froze before saying, "No way! I think Charles has what it takes!"

"Charlie is indeed outstanding among the third generations of the Luther family, but he's not capable enough to bear the burden of the whole Luther family. He needs more experience."

David did not know what to say. He did not understand why Old Master Luther was telling him this. He was not from the Luther family.

"Dave, I want you to protect the Luther family until Charlie can take over the Luther family on his own," Rupert said with sudden solemnity.

"Huh? Old Master Luther, aren't you thinking too highly of me? How could I possibly b protect the Luther family when it's already at the height of its power? Are you kidding me?" said David.

'Rupert's asking me to protect the Luther family?'

'Isn't that a joke?'

"How I would be able to do that?'

'Would I need to be so timid now if I could protect the Luther family?'

'I would have activated the buying feature, and my lavish points would have skyrocketed!

"Dave, you don't have to reject so quickly! I wouldn't ask you to protect the Luther family for nothing, of course. I'm going to give you a big present next!" Rupert said calmly.

David was already speechless.

'It's not because of some big present, okay?

I'm just not capable of doing it!'

He would not mind helping the Luther family when they were in trouble if he was capable of doing so.

However, it would be pointless to ask him to do so right now. He was even having trouble saving himself!

"Old Master Luther, it's not that I am rejecting you. I'm just not capable of doing it. If I were capable, I wouldn't mind helping the Luther family. After all, Charles and I are considered good friends. Of course, if the Luther family needs help, then I would step up!"

Rupert ignored what David said and continued saying, "Dave, do you know why the Luther family will exist when I'm around, but will fall without me? The Luther family is at its peak because of me, but I'm just an old man one step away from death."

David had no idea about that!
