Hollywood Hunter

Chapter 618: then

Simon returned to Dome Point Manor, Johnston and his son had arrived early.

The Indian girl greeted the entrance of the Shell Villa and saw Simon entering the door. She stepped forward and said a few words in a low voice. She also raised her hand to indicate the direction of the lower curtain wall. Without Aaliyah's guidance, Simon had already seen two people standing in front of the villa's most scenic glass curtain wall.

Simon walked straight over, and Anthony Johnston also found him back and took the initiative to meet him.

Raymond Johnston did not move. He seemed to look out at the sea outside the curtain wall. Even though his head was gray and white, his slender and tall figure still carried the brilliance and majesty accumulated during his life in the market. The sense of twilight that any 75-year-old should have is more like an old cowboy who can still get on his horse and raise his gun at any time.

Looking back at the old man's back, Simon and Anthony hugged, only to notice that his elder brother's still gentle smile was mixed with many other emotions, scrutinizing, stunned, embarrassed, relieved, and so on.

After the hug, Anthony patted Simon on the shoulder, but he did not explain the doubts he had obviously had, but gestured to the old man who was still facing the two.

Simon took the initiative to greet him: "Ray."

The old man didn't turn around, but suddenly asked, "Simon, what does the surname'Westero' mean?"

Simon froze for a moment, thought for a while, and said, "Actually, there is nothing special. If you have to explain it, Westeros, probably, someone from the West."

With that said, Simon stood beside him under the slight gesture of the old man and looked at the sea and sky outside the glass curtain wall.

Anthony Johnston did not come over, but sat down on the sofa next to him. Seeing the Indian girl approaching carefully, he probably understood that the other party wanted to ask if he wanted something to drink. Anthony waved his hand to indicate that the other party didn't need to prepare.

By the glass curtain wall, the old man heard Simon's explanation, and was silent for a moment, and again said abruptly: "Are you willing to change back to'Johnston', Simon Johnston?"

Simon was stunned again.

The old man finally turned his head to look at him, but his eyes were not as complicated as Anthony just now, and he was calm and relieved. In recent years, as the husband of his most cherished daughter, who is so brilliant and amazing, Raymond Johnston has quietly reviewed it too many times and knows the nature of this young man well.

Needless to say personal career.

For the family, for Janet, even though it is somewhat absurd in private, the old man can be sure that Simon cherishes his daughter from the bottom of his heart, this is enough. After reading all things in the world, he has seen too many people who seem to be relatives and friends but are hypocritical and selfish.

Raymond Johnston just didn't expect in any case that the young man he had always thought of as his son-in-law would actually have another identity.

When he heard the news, Raymond Johnston was also wary.

But some ideas were quickly denied.

Having been together for so many years, the old man can be 100% sure that Simon is not hostile to the Johnston family, but rather a natural sense of identity. He once thought that this recognition was because Simon had finally found a sense of belonging to a family when he was an orphan. Now it seems that this is not a ‘find’, but a ‘return’.

Feeling Simon's surprise and astonishment, Raymond Johnston took another look at the young man beside him and said: "Vini, I confessed to you yesterday."

Simon finally recovered, and soon returned to calm.

Veronica reveals too many flaws on weekdays. Probably, no matter how concealed it is, this day will happen sooner or later.

It's just that Simon did not answer the old man's question.

Seeing Simon continued to remain silent, the old man continued on his own initiative, saying: "Actually, the family knew about your existence back then. The only father was my two children and Vinnie. Vinnie was the daughter he only got in his later years. Upon receiving the news, I personally flew to the UK."

Simon still didn't respond, just listened quietly.

He himself is not interested in these old past events, but the other soul that has always remained in his bones will probably want to know these.

As Raymond Johnston said, he took another look at Simon, and said: "You were born at the time, and I discussed with my father that I wanted to take you back. The Johnston family has always been very crowded, and you are one more. Children are actually good too. As for other things, our family doesn’t have the bad rules of shabby aristocrats to save face. But your mother probably doesn’t think so. At the time, she was only 16 years old and she was in a hurry. She probably felt ashamed of the family. I tried my best not to expose the matter, so I quietly found a foster family and sent you out."

Having said that, the old man paused, looked at Simon again, and said, "Do you want to know who your father is?"

Simon shook his head almost without hesitation.

The old man smiled, showing his teeth that were still white, but there was some scorn in his smile that shouldn't exist at his age, and said: "It's okay not to know, a **** who has no sense of responsibility, just knows My own **** came from deceiving women everywhere."

Some curiosity arose in Simon's mind, but it just passed away.

The old man felt it keenly, without concealing anything, and said: "I was quietly staying in England for a month, watching Vinnie arrange you, and there was a **** guy who died."

Simon felt his heartbeat speed up for a moment, and quickly exhaled gently, raising his eyes to the blue sea outside the curtain wall.

"Since Vinnie has quietly arranged you to the Levinsons, who is in a good family situation and has no children, my father and I have dispelled the idea of ​​bringing you back. After all, even if our family doesn't care, Vinnie will still marry. Human. But I didn’t expect that afterwards, the Levinsons took you out on a trip and disappeared completely. Your mother has looked for you, and the family has also quietly looked for you, to no avail.” The old man said here and looked at Simon again. , With doubts in his eyes: "You were 5 years old at the time, you should have remembered things?"

Simon hesitated and nodded slightly.

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

Simon bowed his head slightly, and after a while, he spit out a word exactly the same as the old man just now: "Dead."

This time it was Raymond Johnston's turn to froze for a moment, and then keenly asked: "That couple, were you not good to you back then?"

Simon's head dropped a little lower, but the gloomy coldness that radiated from him at a certain moment was even felt by Raymond Johnston, which even reminded him of a shot in Kenya. The shudder of the lion desperately rushing towards him.

"Jenny often said that you have a lot of strength..." After a while, the old man said that, suddenly showing the kind of scornful smile just now, raised his hand to pat Simon's shoulder, and said: "So, even if you don't If you are willing to change your surname, you are completely from our Johnston family."

Thinking about what his daughter told him when she went back to Melbourne, Raymond Johnston felt that more than that, this child was even more lawless than the eclectic Johnston family.

Simon was shaken by the old man, and finally remembered something, and asked: "Ray, does Jenny know?"

The old man shook his head: "No, you should tell her about this."

Simon thinks about it, too, with Janet’s character, if it’s true until this incident, he must have been killed with the old man, how could he stay in Australia at ease.

Raymond Johnston suddenly realized this.

This little bastard, who had already known his identity at first, still married Jenny.

However, this is actually good.

I remembered the little girl that Janet had quietly hugged herself two days ago.

The little guy who was less than five months old, after only teaching a little bit, he could whisper ‘Grandpa’ softly, completely a little fairy. Originally, she was a little angry about this. After the little girl called out ‘Grandpa’, she was somewhat less depressed. Thinking about it now, the little girl can be regarded as the blood of the Johnston family.

Even so, now Simon was standing by his side, even if the joy of acknowledging this nephew had not dissipated from the bottom of his heart, Raymond Johnston became angry again, with a displeased expression: "Even if you don't plan to change your surname, All three children have to add the middle name of'Johnston', which is not discussed."

Simon didn't expect the old man to mention this angrily in a blink of an eye.

However, hearing the old man say "Three Children", he obviously recognized Seattle, so Simon would naturally not object to it. Adding a middle name of "Johnston" would add it. Anyway, the longer the name, the more popular the Westerners.

It seems that the female assistant inadvertently said this, and the Rebold family also hopes that the child can attach his own surname.

When Jennifer comes back, add it if you want.

Seattle Rebold Johnston Westeros.

How good.

As an atheist, Simon didn't have the idea of ​​baptizing the children into religion, otherwise there would be another Christian name, which would be even longer.

Seeing Simon nodded, Raymond Johnston regained his expression, looked left and right, pointed towards the open-air swimming pool to the west, and said, "Tell me about your recent events. How was the assassination investigation? "

The old man said, walking to the west.

Simon raised his heel and said, "There are many clues, and I should be able to find out soon."

The old man nodded: "I have read the information. This is a very unprofessional assassin. It is even more like an assassin who was instigated to cause trouble. So you don't need to be nervous. After a long time, you will know that a family like ours It’s actually quite common to encounter similar incidents."

Simon shook his head and said, "You know, Ray, my current situation is different from everyone else."

The old man expressed understanding.

It is indeed very different. The key is that the wealth that Simon currently possesses is too huge, to the extent that it can affect a country's economy. Under normal circumstances, the state apparatus is obviously reluctant to be manipulated by a certain individual, which inevitably leads to contradictions and great contradictions.

Raymond Johnston used to be more amazed at this, but now he can't help but feel proud.

Even if Simon is unwilling to change his surname, there is no denying the fact that this child is from the Johnston family, and everything now can be regarded as the glory of the Johnston family.

It's a pity that this matter is actually not easy to publicize.

However, since it has been recognized, in a small interpersonal circle, this matter will gradually cease to be a secret.

The two said that they had walked out of the side door of the villa and came to the open-air swimming pool. Anthony followed him, but he still didn't get close. Instead, he sat down on the lounge chairs by the pool, obviously to prevent others from getting close and disturbing Simon's conversation.

"In fact, nothing happens without a reason, and it is often not without warning beforehand." Standing by the guardrail by the sea, looking at the sea view in front of him more intuitively, the old man said: "All, you need in the future. Be vigilant, only people or forces that may threaten you. As for the obvious emergencies like the last time, there will definitely be many more, but as long as you are well protected, it will be the same as the last time and will not cause you. A substantial 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 was referring to and shook his head: "No, this is a very good idea. I will personally lead this matter. You and Jenny should not directly intervene. After all, your roots in the United States are not deep enough. It will be troublesome to be noticed."

Simon nodded slightly.

The current Johnston family can easily become the richest man in Australia if you calculate the overall wealth. In addition, the family has a century-old entrenched operation in Australia. If it is completely operated by the Johnston family, even if the purchase of nuclear warheads from Ukraine is discovered, It can also be pressed down relatively easily.

The big deal is dedicated to the country.

No country lacks great power ambitions, and Australia is the same. If it can essentially possess nuclear weapons, most countries will not refuse.

What's more, Simon does not plan to put the purchased nuclear weapons in Australia or the United States.

Thinking of this, the old man also talked about Simon's plan and said, "However, your idea of ​​establishing a territory in Africa to store those things is really bad."

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

Raymond Johnston said: "According to your idea, organize an elite force of 10,000 people. If you just talk about military strength, you can really easily defeat the native monkeys in Africa. However, this is not the case. Execution, do you know why?"

Simon thought for a while and said: "The international community will definitely interfere."

"This is just one point," the old man said: "However, there is another reason, that is, you completely underestimated the level of chaos in that piece of land. Moreover, you really did this to establish a puppet regime in a large area of ​​Africa. In fact, the gains outweigh the losses."

Simon said: "Ray, I just want a territory to store those things, and I don't care about the cost."

The old man shook his head and said, "You still don't understand what I mean."
