Chapter 72 Gary's Expectations
What was even more shocking was that Gary and Elbert were followed by Jeffery and Leonard, who didn't dare to breathe.
Mr. Brown was at the very end. The richest man in the Wavehaven, Alan, was clearly the humblest one!
As they approached the crowd, Elbert said to Melissa as he passed by, "I have some ideas to improve your business. I'll contact you later."
"Yes, sir," Melissa replied respectfully, nodding in agreement.
Then, the old man and the young man slowly walked down the mountain under everyone's gaze. No one dared to stop them. General Jeffery's expression was complicated. He waved his hand, and all the soldiers boarded the vehicles, preparing to leave.
On the mountain road, Elbert nodded to Gary, "Gary, thank you for helping me out."
"Kid, I know your abilities. Even if I hadn't come, they wouldn't have been able to trap you," Gary smiled.
"Then why did you come, Gary?" Elbert asked, puzzled.
"You have extraordinary talent and will achieve great things one day, but you need connections to succeed in the world!" Gary smiled meaningfully. "I came today to help you establish military connections while my influence still holds. Don’t be fooled by Jeffery’s respectful demeanor in front of me; it's because he's upright and grateful! Jeffery's strength is beyond your imagination. Make good use of him in the future!"
Elbert nodded heavily. "Thank you, Gary. But you're still too modest, Gary."
At this moment, Jeffery and Leonard's car, along with several armored personnel carriers, slowly caught up with them. Jeffery, sitting inside, rolled down the window, about to say something, but Gary impatiently waved his hand. "Move along!"
Jeffery, looking frustrated, had no choice but to order the driver to continue, passing by the two. Watching the soldiers on the armored vehicles still saluting, Gary's face softened.
"Elbert, I didn’t expect you to defeat Jeffery's soldiers so quickly!" Gary nodded in satisfaction. "Your progress has exceeded my expectations."
Elbert didn’t know how to respond! Three years ago, Elbert was saved by Gary. When he woke up, he found this strange old man excitedly declaring that Elbert was the chosen one. After careful investigation, it turned out Gary had discovered Elbert's unique physique, with genes very different from ordinary people!
If Elbert's physique could continue to improve or receive corresponding external assistance, Elbert could potentially become an extraordinary being, a so-called 'physique genius'! In other words, Elbert himself was that 0.01% of the gifted!
But in the past three years, Elbert hasn't felt any different from others, aside from an additional headache as a side effect! Elbert's current strength is all due to Robert's adjustments!
But all of this, Elbert summed up in a few words: "I was just lucky."
Elbert paused and casually asked, "Gary, where did you get this fake eye that you replaced for me?"
Gary stroked his chin for a long time. "I forgot which hospital I picked it up from, but it was sterilized."
"Alright," Elbert replied.
Gary smiled, then became serious again. "Elbert, having such talent is your luck and also Veridiania's luck. When the country needs you, I hope you will step up and contribute, not waste my expectations of you."
After speaking, Gary looked ahead, but Elbert saw a deep, hidden passion in his eyes. Although Gary lived in anonymity, his patriotic fire never dimmed!
"I'll do my best!" Elbert said, puffing out his chest.
At this moment, on a higher part of the mountain, Ethan, Aldrich, and Rex were overlooking the old man and young man walking down the winding road.
Aldrich looked at Elbert with rage. "He ruined me, left me with no way out. If I die, he won't have it easy either!"
Rex said darkly, "What can you do to him? Didn't you see how powerful he is? The country, the military! They all respect him!"
"Power?" Aldrich was nearly insane! "So, what if he's powerful? Can his power protect him 24/7? I'm doing nothing next but using all my connections to find mercenaries to keep an eye on Elbert. Once he's alone, I'll take his life! Let's see how long he can stay arrogant!"
Hearing Aldrich's words, Rex and Ethan didn't argue. These two had deeper schemes. If Elbert were eliminated, it would be best to have a fool like Aldrich take the lead. It would clear the obstacles for them.
Suddenly, there was an explosion on the mountain road! The sound did not come from Gary and Elbert's direction. It came from Jeffery's convoy, which had reached the mountainside!
On the side of the winding road, grenades were being thrown from the woods! The grenades exploded frequently. But they weren't ordinary lethal grenades. They were specially made smoke bombs! In an instant, Jeffery's convoy was enveloped in thick smoke! The soldiers were instantly on alert! But due to the smoke, they lost visibility! No one could have expected that General Jeffery would be ambushed here!
