102. Resignation

Chapter 102

Resignation

Osborne already had confidence in completing the third heir test.

Yesterday's probe showed Osborne Barlyn's weakness.

Barlyn was addicted to alcohol

Especially fine wines, Barlyn had no resistance. Because of his duty as the bodyguard captain, Barlyn missed two opportunities. to taste fine wines yesterday. He's probably deeply regretting it now,

Osborne prepared to continue. He wanted to make Barbyn completely unable to bear it, forcing him to resign as the bodyguard

captain.

As long as Barlyn resigned, Osborne would be confident in becoming the new bodyguard captain.

Although there were three days left, Osborne didn't plan to wait that long

Today, he would officially become the bodyguard captain.

After all, Anastasia was still bedridden. Even with enough longevity herbs, she could only live for a year at most. He had to complete the six heir tests within a year and elevate his status enough to get her into the Godfather's medical research lab

Time was pressing!

Soon, Osborne arrived at the Radcliffe Manor. Today, the fourth bodyguard unit, led by Violet, was in charge of protecting Clarissa.

"Violet, where's Captain Barlyn?"

Violet smiled bitterly. "He probably hasn't gotten up yet. Yesterday, an expert infiltrated the Radcliffe Manor. Even the early warning systern failed. Captain Barlyn led the team and searched the manor three times but found no one,

"In the end, he was still uneasy and personally guarded Ms Radcliffe until almost dawn before he slept."

Osborne felt a bit guilty hearing this

The expert who infiltrated the Radcliffe Manor was Isa. Osborne had arranged for her to do it. He didn't expect it would scare Barlyn so much that he wouldn't sleep all night.

But this was good too. The more exhausted Barlyn was, the more likely he would resign

"I'll go see him."

Osborne arrived at the center of the manor. It was in front of a luxurious three–story villa

This three–story villa was the main building of the manor.

Clarissa, Donna, and Barlyn lived here. It was along with some female bodyguards, for the convenience of protecting Clarissa.

As the deputy captain, Osborne easily entered the villa

He couldn't go to the second and third floors of the villa, so he had to wait on the first floor.

At this time, Clarissa and. Donna were having breakfast in the first–floor dining room

Seeing Osborne, Clarissa's eyes lit up

"Osborne… Mr. Augustine, have you had breakfast? Why not join us?"

Osborne smiled. "Ms. Radcliffe, I've already eaten. I'm here to see Captain Barlyn."

Clarissa looked a bit disappointed upon hearing this.

But she didn't show it. She nodded and said, "Barlyn is in his room. You can go find him, but he didn't rest well last night and is still sleeping."

Osborne thought for a moment and said, "I'm not in a hurry. I'll wait here for him."

After speaking, Osborne found a corner to wait.

From here, he couldn't see the dining room, so it wouldn't make anyone uncomfortable. However, he could hear the conversation inside.

"Aunt Donna, is Skyefall Security not selling to us?"

Clarissa's voice rang out.

Donna replied, "Sir Ashford personally contacted the Draco Group's executives and offered a billion dollars, but they still refused. Skyefall Security will be sold, but it already has a buyer. It won't be sold to us."

She sighed after speaking

"It's a pity. If we could buy Skyefall Security, your safety would be more assured. They have a Class A early warning defense system. If we bought it, we could install it here. Even the Aberrants wouldn't be able to easily assassinate you."

Clarissa frowned and said, "If they won't sell, can we negotiate a partnership with Skyefall Security? Can they lease the early warning defense system to us?

"Spending more money shouldn't be an issue, right?"

Donna shook her head. "Sir Ashford asked, but they said the new owner hasn't taken over yet. They can't decide. We must wait a few days to negotiate with the new owner personally.

"And we might not be able to reach an agreement. That Class A carly warning system is the only one in Skyfall. It has immense power, and many factions are eyeing it.

"Although the annual rent is five billion, it's absolutely worth it. It's far superior to the Class B early warning system we're currently using"

Clarissa sighed, too. "No matter what, we have to try When the new owner of Skyefall Security arrives, Ill personally talk to him.

"I just don't know who the new owner will be"

Osborne, in the corner, couldn't help but be extremely surprised by their conversation

Shortly after, Clarissa and Douma finished breakfast and walked out of the dining room,

"Why is Barlyn still not up?"

Donna asked, frowning

"Aunt Donna, Barlyn was busy yesterday and just went to sleep. I also noticed he was in a bad mood. I asked him, but he wouldn't say. Let him sleep a bit longer."

"All he knows is sleep,"

Donna said angrily, "He's your bodyguard captain now. Does he still think he's a young master? If he can't handle a bit of hardship, what's he good for?

"Go wake that brat up."

Donna instructed a female member of the Personal Guards to go upstairs and wake Barlyn

Clarissa said helplessly," Aunt Donna, I've always said there's no need for Barlyn to be my bodyguard captain Has he ever endured such hardship? You know he seems unreliable, but he's very responsible."

"As long as there's any disturbance around me, he gets very nervous. It makes me feel uneasy and guilty towards him."

"I think we should select a new bodyguard captain."

Donna fell silent at these words

"Let's talk about it when we have a suitable candidate."

Clarissa frowned and said, "Aunt Donna, isn't there already a suitable candidate?"

After speaking, Clarissa glanced in Osborne's direction.

Osborne pretended not to hear, but he was thrilled inside. Clarissa really acknowledged him.

His only obstacle was Donna

Donna frowned, knowing Clarissa was talking about Osborne. She hesitated for a long time and finally shook her head. "Let's wait a while longer. Let Barlyn keep the position. How will he grow without experiencing hardship? All he does is drink all day"

Osborne sighed upon hearing this

Donna could wait a while longer to test him

But he didn't have time to wait!

Just then, Barlyn yawned as he came downstairs and complained, "Mon, why did you wake me up so early? 1 just went to sleep. Can't I live?"

Donna glared at him "Clarissa is awake, and you're still sleeping? Is this how you perform as bodyguard captain? Do you bebeve I'll cut off your allowance?"

Before, Barlyn would have behaved obediently

Without an allowance, he couldn't buy alcohol, which would make him miserable. Facing Donna's threat, he would have obediently begged for mercy.

But now, he wasn't short of money.

Yesterday, Osborne took him to make a lot of money. It was enough for him to live well for a long time.

He laughed and said, "Mom, whatever you say. I'm going to drink with Osborne. You guys have fun!"

After saying that, Barlyn prepared to leave.

"Stop!"

Donna was furious. She had just woken Barlyn up and now he was going to drink?

And he was with Osborne

Osborne knew he couldn't stay silent. He walked out from the corner and lightly coughed.

"Captain Barlyn, I'm here."

Barlyn smiled and said, "Osborne, why call me Captain Barlyn? You're embarrassing me. If it weren't for my mom, I wouldn't bother being this bodyguard captain Just call me Barlyn

"If it's too much trouble, I'll let you be the captain instead.

"You'd be a much better captain than me with your skills!"

After he spoke, Osborne's heart started pounding

But he didn't show it on his face and smiled, saying, "You just don't want to miss out on drinking, If I become the captain, you'd leave all the hard work to me?"

Barlyn looked bitter, suddenly remembering yesterday.

Glacium Beauty!

Systin!

Those two bottles of top wine. Because he was the captain, he didn't get a sip. They were completely wasted by Osborne and Austin.

Thinking of this, his heart ached.

He whispered, "Osborne, does your friend still have Glacium Beauty? Any more Systin? I haven't tasted them yet!"

Osborne smiled slightly and said, "There are some, but not many. Besides, you're so busy. I'm afraid if I invite you to drink, you'll get delayed again

Barlyn's eyes lit up upon hearing there were still some left.

Hearing Osborne's concern about him getting delayed again made him a bit anxious.

If what happened yesterday happened again, he'd be devastated.

Barlyn bit his lip and he became more determined.

"No! I need to resign!

I can't be this bodyguard captain anymore. Now that I have money, I don't need to fear my nion's threats. Anyone would be better at this job than man is the best choice!

If Osborne becomes the captain, I'll have someone call him away next time we drink. Wouldn't that mean more for me?"

Thinking of this, Barlyn got excited.

He shouted, "Mom, I've decided! I'm resigning!

"I recommend Osborne to replace me as the new bodyguard captain! He's stronger and more responsible than me. He's saved Clarissa several times, proving he's more suitable for the job than I am!"
