Chapter 782
It was rude and inappropriate behavior for a driver to interrupt while their employer
was conversing with their guest.
It seemed a bit instigating.
"Are you doubting me?" asked Wilbur coldly.
Jean hurriedly said, "Santino, watch your tone."
"Sir, I only wanted to remind Mister Penn that some things can't be resolved with brute force," Santino replied.
Wilbur smirked and asked, "Oh yeah? Maybe it's because you're not skilled enough."
Santino felt insulted. He glanced at him through the rearview mirror but did not say anything further.
Jean said, "Mister Penn, Santino worked for my father since he was a young man. He's very close to my father. He's just being overly worried. Please don't mind him."
"I understand how he feels, but he needs to remember that he has no right to doubt my capabilities," said Wilbur nonchalantly.
Santino did not say anything, but it was apparent that he did not buy it.
Jean frowned and said, "Sir, we're still dealing with my brothers at the end of the day. I hope we can resolve things peacefully."
It seemed like Jean did not want his siblings to fight.
"That's nice of you, but has it ever occurred to you that your brothers may be the ones who plotted against your father? Do you think they care about your familial ties?" asked Wilbur slowly.
Jean was no fool, so he had a feeling that he was in extreme danger after his father fell sick.
However, his brothers were too busy fighting each other to go after him.
Moreover, he did not care to fight for succession rights. That was why he was safe for the moment.
He wondered what his brothers would do to him once they were done fighting. That was why he used the family heirloom in exchange for Wilbur's help.
Apart from investigating the cause of his father's illness and resolving the family conflict, he also wanted to save himself.
He let out a long sigh after he heard what Wilbur said, replying, "I know, but I don't want my brothers to kill each other. I'm afraid I'll never find peace for the rest of my life if that happens."
"Let's get this over with, then. I promise you I won't take their lives," said Wilbur. Jean nodded.noveldrama
Wilbur shut his eyes and started to meditate.
They were around a thousand kilometers away from Enne City, so it took some time to reach.
The vehicle got off the highway and reached Enne City in the evening.
"We're here, sir," said Jean softly.
Wilbur opened his eyes slowly and said, "Let's pay your father a visit."
Jean nodded and told Santino, "To the hospital."
Santino drove toward the hospital.
They soon arrived at the Enne City Hospital and made their way to the premium hospital room.
Two men were guarding outside the door, and they bowed when they saw Jean. Jean nodded and brought Wilbur into the room.
"Did your brothers send anyone here?" Wilbur asked while walking.
Jean shook his head and replied, "They only visited my father once when he was hospitalized. After that, they never asked about him again."
Wilbur nodded and walked toward the bed.
There was an old man in his sixties on the bed who bore some resemblance to Jean.
However, his face was pale, and struggled to breathe, relying on the oxygen tank. "We can't figure out the reason. I hired experts from Northseecher, but they don't have any clue either," said Jean while shaking his head.
Wilbur did not speak. He started to scan the body with his spirit energy instead.
The body was analyzed in layers in Wilbur's consciousness as he scanned with his spirit energy. The structure of the body was zoomed in on display with no areas left hidden.
Wilbur frowned after a moment.
"How was it?" asked Jean nervously.
What do you think?
