NOVPUBChapter 1165: 528 Weakness_1 Chapter 1165: 528 Weakness_1 Tedmond Duke scrutinized Edric Lewis from head to toe, seeing the band-aid on his palm he exclaimed dramatically, “Young Master, you’re injured?
Who’s so audacious?”
Edric Lewis stepped back with a look of disgust, saying like a miniature adult, “I was just crossing the street when a woman nearly hit me with her car.
This lady here risked her life to save me, otherwise, you would be looking at my corpse right now.”
“What?
Nearly hit you?” Tedmond Duke looked as though he had a narrow escape from catastrophe, then turned to thank Aubree Groove profoundly, “You saved our young master, my masters will surely repay your kindness.”
Aubree Groove took a step back, “Take your young master home, I do not require repayment.”
With that, she turned to leave.
“Miss,” Edric Lewis jogged up to her, “Will I see you again?
You haven’t taught me martial arts yet.”
Aubree Groove patted his little head, “If it’s meant to be, we will see each other again.”
With that, she left.
Tedmond Duke signaled his subordinate, who stealthily followed her.
...
Edric Lewis’s head dropped in disappointment.
“Young master, today’s situation was too dangerous.
You must never sneak away alone again.
The Mister and Madam would be very worried if they found out,” he said.
“Young Master, get in the car.
I’ll take you to the hospital.” He had to get the boy checked out no matter what.
Edric Lewis got into the car, “No need, take me to school.”
Having personally delivered Edric Lewis to school, Tedmond Duke went to see the principal.
This incident gave the principal quite the scare, even expecting a disastrous outcome, only to have the boy returning safely in the end – a dangerous situation escaped.
“If there was any crisis involving the young master at your school, would you be able to bear the responsibility?” he asked sternly.
The Principal wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, visibly shaken, “I apologize, this was a mistake due to our school’s management.
I assure you on my professional career, this will not happen a second time.” 𝔫𝔬𝖛𝖕𝔲𝖇.𝖈𝖔𝖒
“And how does your career compare to the young master’s safety?”
Stepping out of the principal’s office, a subordinate handed him a tablet, “Here’s the security footage from the crosswalk, Sir.”
Tedmond Duke took the device, pressed play, and immediately zeroed in on Edric Lewis crossing the street.
A reckless red sports car not only didn’t slow down as it approached the crosswalk, but also sped up, rushing straight towards Edric Lewis’s slender figure.
Tedmond Duke’s pupils contracted, his fingers gripping the edge of the tablet tightly, visibly realizing the severity of the situation.
At that moment, someone appeared and saved the young master.
Tedmond Duke replayed the scene multiple times, particularly the moment where the mysterious woman saved Edric.
The woman was too swift, he couldn’t capture a clear frame of her.
All he saw were blurs or afterimages, indicating her astonishing speed.
Only someone that fast could have saved Edric in such a critical moment.
Looking at it this way, she was truly Edric’s salvager.
Tedmond’s gaze landed on the red sports car, authoritatively ordering, “Find that person, even if it takes digging three feet underground.”
“Yes, Sir.” His subordinate was ready to leave.
Tedmond stopped him, “Wait, find out about the woman who saved the young master too.”
This case was unusual and involved the young master’s safety, thus they couldn’t be careless.
Tedmond Duke retreated to a secluded spot and carefully dialed a number.
The person on the other end picked up promptly with a detached tone, “Has something happened to the young master?”
“Mr.
Philbert, where is the master?”
“The master is in a meeting.
Tell me what it is, I will relay the message to him.”
“It’s like this…” Tedmond Duke explained the car accident that almost happened to Edric Lewis.
The other end was icy calm, suppressing anger, “Tedmond, how did you handle this?
You nearly let the young master encounter danger.”
“Mr.
Philbert, it indeed was my negligence, I’ll personally apologize to the master.”
“You said someone saved the young master?”
“Yes, a young lady, she did not ask for any compensation and left.”
“Do you think it was a coincidence?”
“Well!” Tedmond Duke hesitated.
“Matters involving the young master’s safety cannot afford coincidences, understood?”
“Yes, I understand.
I will investigate her identity, we won’t allow anyone to pose a threat to the young master.”
Just then, the person he had sent to tail returned, “She has strong anti-surveillance skills, I lost her after a couple of streets.”
