Invincible General

Chapter 12 Reach an Agreement

“Boss, you really saved me. If you don’t promise, I’m afraid I will be dismissed right away and no longer go back.”

Aiden tried to hug Samuel in tears but was kicked out directly.

“f**k off! I am not a gay!”

Although he was kicked, he smiled brightly.

“Well, boss, just tell me how much money do you want. I will go to the financial approval immediately.”

Samuel touched his nose and then said, “An ordinary house here is only 200 thousand dollars. But Olivia also needs money for her subsequent treatment. Oh, we also need to spend a lot to live. Um... how about 500 thousand dollars?”

“500 thousand dollars?”

Aiden was so surprised, with eyes wide open.

He was a general, who made great contributions to the whole country. Even if he wanted 5 million dollars, the king would agree without hesitation.

Besides, the industry founded by Samuel was fabulously wealthy, even being matched with the treasury.

But now, he just wanted 500 thousand dollars. That was absolutely amazing!

His surprised face made Samuel a little unhappy. He frowned and said, “So? I do not deserve it? Well, I might as well retire from the army right now.”

Having heard this, Aiden quickly waved his hand and said with a wry smile, “Boss, I didn’t mean that. I just thought the money is too little to be matched with your identity.”

“If you are going to settle here, a halfway decent house is necessary, even if it is not located in the most bustling area. I’m afraid even a toilet can’t be brought with the money you said.”

Hearing this, Samuel shook his head and then said in a deep voice, “You don’t know Charlotte. She only wants a peaceful life now. So if she lives in a mansion, she will feel uneasy.”

“What’s more, I am just an ordinary veteran in her view. Do you think she will believe me if I get so much money?”

Hearing it, Aiden had to nod and agree.

“Boss, of course, I will follow your words. But I’m afraid the king will scold me. Well, I ask them to transfer one million to you immediately. You can save it if you don’t need it now, just as a gift to your wife and daughter.”

Samuel did not refuse but nodded.

After all, he wished he could live an ordinary life now and tried to avoid keeping in touch with those officials. It would be great if he had enough money.

Then, Aiden went out and made a phone call. Within ten minutes, Samuel received a short message.

“These guys used to be so lazy. Tut-tut, now they should be diligent for keeping me.”

Samuel shook his head and then deleted the message.

At this time, Aiden returned to the room and said with a smile, “Boss, it is all done. Now, I am ready to go back to report it to the king.”

“Barring accidents, those guys in Manchester will never harass you, and I will try my best to help you stabilize the situation. But if there is any unexpected trouble, you may have to solve it by yourself.”

Samuel nodded, after all, it was his responsibility.

Just then, Charlotte walked out of the bathroom with Olivia. After seeing Aiden, she said with a bright smile, “Welcome, Mr. Smith. We are going to have breakfast. You can sit down and eat together.”

Hearing this, Aiden also sat at the table carelessly and said with a smile, “Well, I appreciate your invitation. Thank you. I will enjoy it.” 

However, Samuel put his hand on Aiden’s shoulder, patted twice and then smiled. “I remember you have something urgent to get back to Manchester, right?” said Samuel.

Aiden’s body instantly became stiff, then he nodded with a wry smile and said, “Oh, I nearly forgot! I suddenly remembered that there was something urgent to deal with, so wish you have a nice meal!”

“Mr. Garcia, I will visit you next time if I have the chance.”

With that, Aiden was ready to leave with a long face.

However, when he just walked to the gate, Samuel suddenly said, “Don’t bother us if there is nothing urgent, um....even there is something urgent.”

Aiden stumbled and then left with a reluctant sigh.

After Aiden left, Charlotte said helplessly, “Mr. Smith is your former friend. How can you do this to him?”

However, Samuel did not felt guilty at all. Instead, he replied righteously, “I only bought breakfast for three. If he eats, I will be hungry.”

“...”

Charlotte shook her head with a wry smile, but she also knew that the relationship between Samuel and Aiden was by no means ordinary.

While eating breakfast, Charlotte whispered to Samuel, “Samuel, you are back now, so let’s rent another house. You know, the school day is approaching for Olivia, so we need to arrange a registered permanent residence and a school for her.”

Noticing her uneasy expression, Samuel’s nose twitched involuntarily.

He understood why Charlotte was so careful. It was because she was worried he could not afford too much money to arrange these things.

He really owed too much to them over the years.

Samuel took a deep breath and tried to calm down. He nodded with a casual appearance, then smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I just wanted to tell you about this.”

“Well, after the meal, we can take Olivia to my friend for treatment first, and then go to see our new house.”

Having heard this, Charlotte finally felt relieved.

“Thank you, Samuel.”

Realizing that Samuel did really care about them and has already kept them in his heart, Charlotte naturally felt happy and sweet. And the grievances she had suffered over the years seemed to have vanished.

But just then, Olivia said while eating bread, “Dad, I also want to get out of here quickly. There is always an uncle who made trouble and harassed mom.”

Hearing this, Samuel’s face instantly darkened.
