Chapter 618

Simon returned to domay point estate, and the johnstons had arrived early.

The Indian girl welcomed him at the door of shell villa. Seeing Simon enter, she whispered a few words and raised her hand to indicate the direction of the curtain wall. Without Arya's guidance, Simon has seen two people standing in front of the glass curtain wall with the best view of the villa.

Simon went straight over, and Anthony Johnston found him coming back and welcomed him.

Raymond Johnston didn't move. He seemed to be looking at the sea outside the curtain wall. Even though he was gray and tall, he still had the spirit and dignity accumulated in the shopping mall all his life. He didn't have the sense of twilight that a 75 year old should have. On the contrary, he was more like an old cowboy who could still mount a horse and raise a gun at any time.

Taking back the look at the old man's back, Simon and Anthony embrace each other. Then they notice that their brother-in-law's still gentle smile is mixed with many other emotions, such as examination, surprise, embarrassment and gratification.

After hugging, Anthony patted Simon on the shoulder, but didn't explain his obvious doubts. Instead, he motioned to the old man who still had his back to them.

Simon stepped forward and said, "ray."

The old man did not turn back, but suddenly asked, "Simon, what does the surname" westero "mean?"

Simon thought about it and said, "it's nothing special. If you have to give an explanation, Westeros is probably someone from the West."

So Simon came to the old man and looked at the sea and sky outside the curtain wall.

Anthony Johnston, however, did not follow him. Instead, he sat down on the sofa next to him. Seeing the inquiring eyes of the Indian girl not far away, he probably understood aliya's intention, but just waved his hand to indicate that she didn't need to prepare for anything.

By the glass curtain wall, the old man heard Simon's explanation and was silent for a moment. Then he asked abruptly, "would you like to change back to the surname of 'Johnston', Simon Johnston?"

Simonton was stunned.

The old man finally turned his head and looked at him, but there was no complicated emotion of Anthony just in his eyes, calm and gratified. Over the years, Raymond Johnston, the husband of his most cherished daughter, has been so brilliant and brilliant that he has quietly examined Simon too many times and knows the young man's temperament like the back of his hand.

There is no need to talk about personal career.

For the family, for Janet, even if it was somewhat absurd in private, the old man could be sure that Simon cherished his daughter from the bottom of his heart, which was enough. After reading the world, he has seen too many people who are friendly on the surface but hypocritical and selfish on the inside.

Raymond Johnston just didn't think that he had another identity as a young man who always thought he was the son-in-law of the dragon.

At the beginning of the news, Raymond Johnston was also on the alert.

But he soon denied some ideas.

Having known each other for so many years, Raymond Johnston can be 100% sure that Simon has no hostility to Johnston's family, but rather a natural sense of identity. At one time, he thought that this sense of identity was due to Simon's orphanage and finally found a family.

Now it seems that this is not "finding", but "returning".

Feeling Simon's astonishment, Raymond Johnston said, "Winnie and I confessed to you yesterday."

Simon finally recovered and soon recovered.

Veronica has revealed too many flaws in her daily life. No matter how she conceals them, sooner or later, there will be such a day.

Simon didn't answer the old man's question.

Seeing Simon's silence, Raymond Johnston continued: "in fact, the family knew you existed. My father has only two children, Winnie and I, and Winnie is the daughter he got in his later years. How can he not care. At first I got the news, and I flew to England myself. "

Simon still didn't respond, just listened quietly.

He himself is not interested in these old things, but another soul in his heart would like to know about them.

Raymond Johnston looked at Simon again and said, "you were born at that time. I discussed with my father that I wanted to take you back. The Johnston family is Ding Buwang. It's good to have one more child than you. As for the rest, we don't have the bad rules of losing the noble's face. However, your mother probably didn't think so. At that time, she was only 16 years old and was in a hurry. Maybe she felt disgraced to her family and didn't want to let the matter come to light, so she quietly found a foster family to send you out. "

At this point, the old man stopped, looked at Simon and asked, "do you want to know who your father is?"

Simon shook his head almost without much hesitation.

The old man smiles, showing his teeth that are still neat and white, but with some ruffian spirit in his smile that shouldn't exist in his age, he says: "I don't want to know. He's a jerk who doesn't have any responsibility. He only knows how to cheat women with his own bullshit background. I checked at that time. Your mother told him that he was pregnant. In order to get rid of the responsibility, the man went to another city and didn't show his face until you were born. "There was some curiosity in Simon's mind, but it just flashed away.

The old man was acutely aware of it and said, "I was quietly in England for a month, watching Winnie arrange you, and a damned guy died."

Simon felt his heart beat faster for a moment. He quickly breathed out and looked up at the blue sea outside the curtain wall.

"Since Winnie has quietly fostered you to the Levinsons, and they are in a good family and have no children, my father and I have given up the idea of taking you back. After all, even if our family doesn't care, Winnie will get married. I just didn't expect that the Levinsons would disappear completely when they took you on a trip. Your mother came to you, and the family came to you quietly, but nothing happened. " When the old man said this, he looked at Simon again with doubts in his eyes: "at that time, you were 5 years old, you should have remembered things, right?"

Simon hesitated and nodded slightly.

The old man asked, "so, back then?"

Simon as like as two peas, and after a moment, he slightly spit out a word that is exactly the same as the old man: "dead."

This time it was Raymond Johnston's turn to be stunned for a moment. Then he asked acutely, "that couple didn't treat you well in those days?"

Simon's head dropped a little lower, but his body in a moment sent out the gloomy cold, even Raymond Johnston can clearly feel, which even reminds him of many years ago in Kenya, africa hunting when a shot dying lion desperately rushed to his own shudder.

"Jennie often says you have a lot of strength," the old man sighed a moment later. Suddenly, he showed a little ruffian smile and patted Simon on the shoulder. "So, even if you don't want to change your surname, you're a Johnston."

When we think about what our daughter told him when she went back to Melbourne, Raymond Johnston thinks that more than that, this child is more lawless than Johnston's family.

Simon was patted by the old man. He finally remembered something and asked, "ray, does Jennie know?"

The old man shook his head: "no, you'd better tell her about it yourself."

Simon thought about it. With Janet's character, if he knew about it, he would definitely come back with the old man. How could he stay in Australia at ease.

Raymond Johnston suddenly realized that.

This little bastard, who had already known his identity, married Jennie.

However.

If you think about it, it's actually good.

I think of the little girl Janet had shown herself the other day.

The little guy who has been less than five months, just taught him a little, can shout "Grandpa" softly. He is a goblin. Originally, she was a little angry about this. After the little girl called out "Grandpa", she was not so depressed. Now think about it, the little girl is also the blood of the johnstons.

Now Simon was standing beside him. Even if the joy of recognizing his nephew had not dissipated, Raymond Johnston got angry again and said, "even if you don't plan to change your surname, all three children need to add the middle name of 'Johnston'. This is not negotiable."

Simon didn't expect the old man to mention it angrily.

However, hearing the old man say "three children" is obviously a recognition of Seattle. Simon naturally won't object. Just add a middle name of "Johnston". Anyway, the longer the name, the more popular it is in the West.

It seems that the female assistant inadvertently said this, and the leibulde family also wanted their children to have their own surnames.

When Jennifer comes back, add it if you want.

Seattle Rebold Johnston westero.

How nice.

As an atheist, Simon didn't want to baptize his children. Otherwise, he would have a Christian name, which would be longer.

Seeing Simon nodding, Raymond Johnston regained his expression, looked left and right, pointed to the West open-air swimming pool, and said, "what's the matter with you recently? How's that assassination investigation going?"

Said the old man, going west.

Simon raised his foot to catch up and said, "there are many clues, and there should be results soon."

The old man nodded: "I've read the information. It's a very unprofessional killer. It's even more like someone who's been encouraged to make trouble, so you don't need to be too nervous. After a long time, you will know that it is very common for our family to encounter similar incidents. "

Simon shook his head and said, "you know, ray, I'm in a different situation from everyone else."

The old man understood.

It's really different. The key is that Simon's wealth is so huge that it can affect a country's economy. Under normal circumstances, the state machine with tangled interests is obviously not willing to be manipulated by someone, which inevitably leads to contradictions, big contradictions.Raymond Johnston used to marvel at this, but now he is proud of it.

Even if Simon doesn't want to change his surname, there is no denying the fact that this child is a member of the Johnston family, and everything now can be regarded as the honor of the Johnston family.

Unfortunately, it's not suitable to publicize.

However, since it has been recognized, it will no longer be a secret in a small circle of people.

They said that they had walked out of the side door of the villa and came to the open-air swimming pool by the cliff. Anthony also followed them. He still didn't get close. Instead, he sat down on the deck chair beside the swimming pool and watched for himself. He didn't let anyone else get close to disturb Simon's conversation.

"Everything happens for a definite reason, and there are signs in the past. For example, for those presidential dignitaries who have been assassinated, the public will always derive all kinds of conspiracy theories. The real reason is often very simple, and many players can guess the truth. " Standing beside the fence near the sea, looking at the sea view in front of you more intuitively, the old man said, "all you need to be vigilant about in the future are the people or forces that may really threaten you. As for the unexpected situation like last time, there will certainly be many, but as long as we do a good job of protection, it will not cause any threat. "

Simon listened patiently and asked, "ray, you mean you don't want me to do that?"

Of course, the old man knew what Simon meant and shook his head and said, "no, it's a very good idea. With the current scale of the westero system, it really needs a very strong deterrent to avoid being coveted. However, I will personally lead this matter, and you and Jennie will not interfere. After all, your foundation in the United States is not deep enough, and it will be very troublesome once found out. "

Simon nodded, not insisting.

The Johnston family can easily become the richest man in Australia if the overall wealth is calculated. In addition to the deep-rooted management of several generations in Australia, if the Johnston family is fully operated, even if the purchase of nuclear warheads from Ukraine is detected, it will not be too difficult to suppress it. Even if it cannot be suppressed, the consequences will not be too serious.

The big deal is to give it to the country.

No country is short of ambition to become a great power, and so is Australia. If it can actually possess nuclear weapons, most countries will not refuse.

What's more, Simon doesn't intend to put the nuclear weapons he bought in Australia or the United States, which further avoids most of the risks.

Just thinking about this, the old man also talked about Simon's plan: "however, your idea of establishing a territory in Africa to store those things is too bad."

Simon did not retort, waiting patiently for the old man's explanation.

Raymond Johnston said: "according to your idea, organizing an elite army of 10000 people, if we only talk about military strength, we can really easily defeat those native monkeys and rule in Africa. But in fact, it's not executive. Do you know why? "

Simon thought about it and said, "the international community will intervene."

"It's just a little bit," said the old man. "But there's another reason. You totally underestimated the chaos of the land. What's more, it's not worth the loss to establish a puppet regime in a large area of the African circle. "

Simon said, "ray, I just want a piece of land to store those things. I don't care about the cost."

The old man shook his head and said, "you still don't understand me."

"Well?"

Raymond Johnston patiently explained: "for us, Africa is a jungle of beasts full of fighting and plundering. If you want fur, teeth and fresh meat, the best way is to give some benefits and let the beasts who have been fighting each other for a long time serve them with their own hands instead of going to the battle to hunt them as hunters."

Simon felt that the old man was off topic: "ray, I'm not interested in fur, teeth and fresh meat. I just want the territory of wild animals."

"That's the most difficult part," Raymond Johnston said. "You think you can capture the territory of the beasts with your shotgun? No, it's more unrealistic. Those warlords in Africa are much smarter than you think, and they are not restricted at all. In order to control their territory, they will not hesitate to use any bloody means, no matter they are aimed at their own compatriots or foreigners trying to invade. The least valuable thing there is human life. That's why I say that Africa is a jungle of wild animals. Moreover, if the beasts find that your weapons are too powerful and your hunting team is too large, they will immediately turn themselves into victims and shout for help and protection. At this time, the "animal protection organizations" that sit and watch millions of wild animals fight with each other will immediately jump out. Fighting among animals, even if one hundred million people die, will be regarded as the natural law of natural selection by these people. But if you are a hunter, even if you want to get rid of the fierce animals and avoid more killing, you will be accused by the animal protection organization of destroying the ecological balance. If you don't stop under their pressure, these animal protection organizations will punish you with all kinds of rules you have to obey in the civilized world. Simon, that's the reality. So, it's easier for you to get fresh meat from Africa. But if you want to clearly occupy a territory, it's a pity that it's not a colonial era. On the surface, at least, we are all civilized people, and we should follow the rules. "
