475: Chapter 464: The Grateful Earl (1st Update) 475: Chapter 464: The Grateful Earl (1st Update) Watching the Earl and Li Ya obliviously kissing beside him, Song Yun helplessly held his forehead.
These foreigners are really open, daring to be so affectionate with others around, it’s simply too bold.
Speaking of the Earl, that’s a very interesting story.
The Earl’s title wasn’t inherited from his father or his mother, but something he earned himself.
Moreover, when it comes to the Earl, one must mention the Secret Organization.
Ever since the Secret Organization was established, they’ve had people all over the world, and their power is enough to rival small countries.
Thus, the next heir of the organization has to be determined through constant competition.
Unfortunately for the Earl, his father was quite promiscuous, with over twenty wives.
As for his countless sons and daughters, that led to the Earl competing with his siblings for the position of the next boss of the Secret Organization from the moment he was born.
If the Earl’s mother had been someone of substance, his experiences later on might not have been so dire.
In contrast, his mother was a maid, and the Earl the result of his drunken father’s dalliance with her.
Therefore, from the moment of his birth, the Earl’s status was very low, far inferior to that of his siblings.
He suffered endless humiliations from a young age.
Even more outrageously, after his mother had a conflict with some of the other women, and though she was in the right, his father came, took one look, and immediately declared her expulsion.
The Earl, unable to accept this, planned one night to assassinate the woman who had conflicted with his mother.
As one might expect, the Earl fell into a trap, hunted by his father like a dead dog.
Later, while on the run, he encountered Song Yun.
Thinking of it as an investment, Song Yun backed the Earl so that he could return to the Secret Organization and compete again for the position of heir.
As for the siblings who had initially competed against the Earl, they all mysteriously died, leading to no one else daring to contest his position as the heir.
His father, despite looking down on the Earl, had no choice but to promote him to the first in line for succession.
Upon taking charge, the Earl thrived like a fish in water, establishing great relationships with politicians from various countries.
It could be said that he raised the entire level of the Secret Organization by more than just a notch.
Later on, after successfully collaborating with the Eagle Country on a counter-terrorism operation, he was knighted as an Earl by Queen Elizabeth, reaching a whole new level of prestige.
The only flaw was that he had a heart problem, a congenital heart defect that caused insufficient blood supply in his body, accounting for his sickly white complexion.
“Earl, could you not play kissy-face with your woman in front of me?” Song Yun said with a wry smile, holding his forehead.
“You really can’t seem to live without a woman.”
“Song Yun, that’s something you don’t understand.
Each woman has her own unique flavor.
I’m with these women just to taste better ‘cuisine’, that’s all.” The Earl said, wrapping his arms around Li Ya with a smile.
“Compared to me, aren’t you a bit too miserable?
Your women are still ‘in mint condition’.
Don’t tell me you’ve been holding out?”
“Heh, just because the women in the villa are untouched doesn’t mean those outside are,” Song Yun said cryptically.
“Besides, I’ve always believed one thing: Chinese women are the most romantic, incomparable to those foreigners.”
“Looks like you haven’t been sneaking any snacks, huh?
How’s Xia Tian been doing lately?
I haven’t seen her around you.”
“She went back to her sect, so I usually don’t see her around,” Song Yun sighed.
“You really not planning on spending the night in Sunan today?
With the way you’re rushing around, I have no idea what you’re up to every day.”
“I’m just busy taking a vacation,” the Earl replied with a sly grin.
“Those young ladies from the upper echelons of the United States quite welcome me.”
“You asshole,” Song Yun shook his head.
“Dinner’s ready, come on over and eat,” Liu Ran called out as she approached.
“Today you’ll have a real feast; my woman’s cooking is top-notch,” Song Yun boasted with pride.
“Besides, Chinese cuisine has always been full of surprises, hardly something a simple steak can compete with.”
At this point, Tom arrived bringing two bottles of rare red wine, but due to certain reasons, he left quickly after delivering the wine.
The Earl stood up and poured Song Yun a glass, “We really haven’t seen each other in a long time.
This glass is for you, to thank you for lifting me from obscurity to the peak I’m at now.”
“That’s your own fortune at work, I just gave you a slight nudge.
Who knew that you would become such a big shot?” Song Yun toasted with the Earl and downed his glass in one go.
“The second glass, I must also toast to you.
Even if I had gone back then, I would have faced certain death.
It was only with your help that I managed to eliminate those in line for succession.
Cheers to you.”
After drinking three glasses in a row, the Earl said, “Song Yun, I’m serious.
Are you interested in joining me?
I guarantee you’d live every day like it’s heaven on earth.”
“No thanks, I’m here on an important mission,” Song Yun shook his head and declined.
“Besides, I can’t stand the feeling of being under someone else’s roof.”
“What are you talking about, being under someone else’s roof?
What’s mine is yours; you could say half of the Secret Organization is yours now.” The Earl said enthusiastically.
“Song Yun, come on.
After so many years of a life filled with killing, it’s time to rest.”
“I am resting right now,” Song Yun smiled.
“Let’s not talk about this anymore.
I’m living well in Sunan; you don’t need to worry about me.”
“Fine, so if you ever need help, you must call me.
Whether it’s through fire or over blades, I’ll be there with you.” The Earl said very sincerely.
“Let’s not talk about this.
Hurry up and eat before it gets cold,” Song Yun said.
The Earl nodded and said no more.
As he ate the dishes prepared by the ladies, he smiled in enjoyment and said, “Not bad, Song Yun.
You live in such a great environment every day and still haven’t turned into a big Fatty.”
“Are you kidding?
Did you think all my years of hard work were for nothing?” Song Yun said proudly.
Just then, Wangcai ran into the courtyard and sat beside Song Yun, giving him a pitiful look.
Song Yun stroked Wangcai’s head, “Are you hungry too?”
“Woof woof woof.”
“Yueyue, grab a couple of big bones from the pot for him,” Song Yun said with a smile.
“Let me introduce you, this is my guardian spirit dog, Wangcai.”
“Not bad, what breed is this dog?” the Earl asked curiously.
“He’s a wild Snow Mastiff; just looking at that snowy white fur, you can tell he’s no ordinary dog,” Song Yun said with a laugh.
