Chapter 285.2
Chapter 285 . 2 – The Importance of a Backer
“Is little friend Ma Dong familiar with senior Fate Master?” Darwin asked with a burning gaze . When his family had accepted the Fate Master’s request to obtain the holographic image of their Golden Stone Slab, they had intended to use this opportunity to become closer to that mysterious figure . Although there was an extremely high possibility that the other party might be from some hidden aristocratic family and would not receive their invitation, taking the chance to test the waters wasn’t all too bad, right? What if there was a play to be seen?
Scratching his head, Ma Dong chose to replay his previous performance that he had shown Tumo . Such a move had always been useful against these great figures, with Darwin showing the exact same reaction as Tumo .
“Unconforming and unrestrained . Ha ha . This really is like the style of that great person . You have such great fortune to be in the good graces of this great senior . ” Darwin sighed in admiration . “Since this deal is complete, we are now friends . You have my Skylink number, so if there’s any issue, you can find me immediately . ”
Ma Dong revealed a happy expression . However, in his heart he knew that this was all due to the face of the Fate Master . Naturally, he knew not to bite off more than he could chew .
The auction finally came to an end after sending off Darwin and Musk . Ma Dong clearly had many more matters to handle, however, including the distinguished guests that had graced the auction, the various questions from his family and handing over process of the family authority for the Tianjing region . These ensured that he would definitely be unable to escape for half an hour .
As they were considered his people, Wang Zhong and the group did not go around to mix with the liveliness, with Old Potter being the only one feeling slightly reluctant to leave . That mysterious stone slab was incomparably alluring to him . When he realised what it actually was, Old Potter had an impulse rush up into his head, which made him consider competing in the bidding war for it . Within a span of five minutes, however, the bid was pushed over 5 billion by Darwin and Musk, so Old Potter could only give up all hope . Nevertheless, even if one was not afraid of thieves stealing it, one would be afraid of the thieves’ plans . On leaving the venue, Old Potter had already thought of a perfect way to settle this . With a serious expression, he looked at Wang Zhong and asked, “Wang Zhong, how do you feel about our relationship?”
This sudden question from the great vice headmaster of the Federation’s Institute of Sciences coupled with his solemnity caused quite a few people beside him to become completely stupefied .
“Very good . ” Wang Zhong replied without the slightest hesitation at all . Not mentioning all the the help that Old Potter had given him, Wang Zhong had an extremely favourable impression of this based purely on the aspects of his character . Such an old man deserved respect and indeed, their relationship was quite good .
However, such a reply did not satisfy Old Potter, who widened his eyes and said, “Very good? How good is very good? Don’t just describe it so offhandedly! I’m very serious about this! Can you be more specific? For example, are we good enough to wear the same pants, or perhaps…”
Beside them, Sharmie was feeling joyous . She more or less had felt slightly uncomfortable when she saw Old Potter . After all, he was the vice headmaster of the Federation’s Institute of Sciences and the headmaster of the Copperfield Academy, famed and renowned within the Federation for a decades . She just needed to close her eyes and think; the serious old research fellow that caused fear in students was right there before her eyes! Never did she imagine that he would actually be this casual in his speech .
“Grandpa!” Laura was somewhat speechless . Ever since he had known Wang Zhong, felt that Old Potter was quickly changing from the grandfather she knew . What is he talking about, being good enough to wear the same pants?!
Wang Zhong instantly understood what Old Potter meant . With a smile, he replied, “Good enough to be able to borrow the holographic image of the Golden Stone Slab from Ma Dong . ”
Without a single word, Old Potter extended his left hand as Wang Zhong did the same with his right .
Clap!
“Just based on this, I know that it’ll be worth it having a friend like you!” Old Potter felt extremely emotional . “This is tacit understanding! The kind when you meet an intimate friend! Who else can do that but you?”
“Grandpa Potter and Wang Zhong are good friends?” Sharmie faked an extremely astonished expression as flowers of happinesses blossomed in her heart . Having the godly assistance of other people’s grandfather made her feel the best . “Ha ha . Looks like Wang Zhong’s seniority right now is frighteningly high! Even Laura will have to call him grandpa Wang, right?”
