Norman looked at Benjamin lying on the ground and told Tobins, “Tobias, go help Benjamin up and take him to the hospital.”
Tobias said. “Yes, Grandpa.”
This gesture naturally earned the praises of the surrounding businessmen for the kind and benevolent Old Mr. Weston.
After giving Tobias the order, Norman walked to an extra long Rolls–Royce,
Right by the car, a bodyguard in a suit and sunglasses immediately opened the door for him.
After Norman got in the car, he asked the driver to drive off.
At this time, Tobias reached Benjamin’s side and helped him up
Tobias had a concerned expression as he looked at Benjamin, “Are you alright?”
Even though Benjamin’s cheek was throbbing with pain, he couldn’t help feeling touched that Tobias was helping him up. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
He said to Tobias, “Tobias, I’m fine.”
“Come on, get in my car. I’ll take you to the hospital.”
“Tobias, thank you so much.”
“We are both children of rich and powerful families. We have to help look out for each other.”
Tobias helped Benjamin into his Maserati.
Then, under the protection of two bodyguards‘ cars, they left the Palmer family’s manor.
At this moment, the Carter family was in their Rolls–Royce on their way back home.
Claire looked puzzled and asked her grandfather, “Grandpa, why didn’t you let me call the police? Someone like Benjamin should be sent to jail.”
Denton’s face was calm. “Claire, the reason why Grandpa didn’t allow you to call the police was not because Norman pleaded for him. Even though Norman pleaded for Benjamin, he was not trying to be merciful.”
Claire was confused. “Grandpa, I don’t quite understand.”
Denton said meaningfully, “The reason why I let Benjamin go was that Gilmore was not hurt.
“The Palmer family has fallen. Even if Benjamin wanted to create trouble for us, he wouldn’t be able to do anything.
“Whether we let him go or not, it makes no difference.”
Claire continued. “Then what did you mean when you said Norman was not pleading for him because he was being merciful, Grandpa?”
Denton smiled. “Norman doesn’t care whether Benjamin lives og dies. The reason he pleaded for Benjamin in front of everyone was just to win people’s hearts and to gain a good reputation.

“The reason why Norman was able to make the Weston family the wealthiest among the top ten wealthy families was that he was good at winning people’s support.
“Moreover, Norman had cooperated with all the ten families. But he is your uncle’s business rival, the Foster family’s Evergreen Properties, and Carter Semiconductors refused to have him as a shareholder.
“Therefore, the Weston family is hostile toward our family and your uncle’s Foster family. Their wish is to see our two families fall.
“If I didn’t let Benjamin go earlier, Norman wouldn’t let go of this chance to blame us for massacring the Palmer clan.
“In this way, the Carter family will be at a disadvantage in the business world and will even lose many business partners, and then the Weston family can take advantage of this opportunity to reap the benefits.”
Claire was suddenly enlightened. Only then did she realize that Norman, who looked kind and benevolent, was actually so scheming and two–faced.
“What a cunning old fox!” Claire said angrily.
Denton smiled and said nothing.
He was used to such devious schemes, after all, this was business
Gilmore also rather admired Mr. Carter, who had seen through the enemy’s dark intentions easily.
He was indeed a big shot who had been through a lot in his life.
There was nothing that could be hidden from people like him.
“Gilmore, are you alright?” At this time, Denton looked at Gilmore and asked with concern.
Claire also looked at Gilmore with concern, “Did Benjamin hurt you?”
Gilmore shook his head, “Don’t worry, Benjamin didn’t injure ne.”
Denton asked, “Gilmore, did you study martial arts before?”
“I have only learned some basic self–defense and combat techniques.” Gilmore replied to Denton.
Denton nodded.
He could tell that Gilmore did not seem to know any martial arts
It was only some basic combat skills.
Otherwise, after being struck, Benjamin probably would have fallen to the ground and not be able to get up, instead of being only superficially injured.
Denton then said solemnly to Gilmore, “In the future, there will be treacherous people like Benjamin who will attack you unexpectedly.
“Your basic combat skills will not be enough. I will find an opportunity to teach you some martial arts.”
Needless to say, the reason why Denton wanted to teach Gilmore martial arts was that he hoped that Gilmore would have the ability to protect himself

Otherwise, it’d be exceedingly dangerous if he were suddenly attacked.
He had already regarded Gilmore as his future grandson–in–law and naturally did not wish for anything bad to happen to
him.
Gilmore concealed the strength of his
tial arts skills because he did not want others to know that he was that powerful.
But he didn’t expect that Denton would want to teach him martial arts so that he could protect himself.
Gilmore felt embarrassed.
However, he still nodded at Denton and said, “Thank you, Mr. Carter, for your offer to teach me martial arts. But Im not talented in martial arts, and I am afraid that I won’t be able to grasp the techniques and skills you teach.”
Denton said confidently, ‘It depends on who your teacher is. If a martial arts teacher is too weak, no matter how talented a student is, he won’t become skilled.
“In the same way, as long as the teacher is strong enough, he can teach even ordinary students to be martial arts masters.”
He was trying to say he was a powerful teacher.
As an influential hero in Oakhaven, Denton thought that he was qualified to say that.
At this time, Gilmore naturally had to flatter him, “Mr. Carter, you are right. With such a brilliant master like you, I will surely be able to master excellent martial arts skills and will not embarrass you.”
“Yes. Denton nodded with satisfaction.
After Tobias took the injured Benjamin to the hospital for medical treatment, he brought Benjamin to a luxurious the Langford Hotel.
He arranged for Benjamin to stay in the hotel.
As they sat on the sofa, Benjamin gratefully told Tobias, “Tobias, thank you.”

“Benjamin, there’s no need to stand on ceremony. I’ve already said that we’re both sons of rich and powerful families, we should therefore take care of each other. Tobias was quite forthright.
“Although Denton seemed to have promised to be lenient to you, you still have to be on guard against his retaliation. So you’ll stay in the Langford Hotel first. This place belongs to the Weston family, and Denton’s men would not dare make trouble here.”
Benjamin nodded.
He was very touched by what the Weston Family had done for him today,
Especially now that Benjamin was at his wit’s end and was like a stray dog.
In Benjamin’s eyes, the Weston family’s assistance was timely.
Benjamin looked at Tobias and said, “Tobias, Denton and Gilmore have made my family so miserable.
I have nothing to repay the Weston family’s kindness, but I have a big secret that I am willing to tell you as repayment for saving me today.”

Tobias was very curious after he heard this. What secret did Benjamin have to tell him?

He kept his fake smile in place. “Benjamin, you’re being too polite again. Why are you talking about saving and repaying favors? It is only proper that we help each other.
However, Benjamin’s eyes flashed brightly as he looked at Tobias and asked, “Tobias, have you heard of the rumored King’s Treasure Map in Oakhaven?”
The smile on Tobias’s face froze and turned into shock!
