After Her Engagement Annulled, the Weak Rich Daughter Becomes a Big Shot!

Chapter 258  Had Grown Up Wrong

The Shwell family had been in the military for five generations, and by his great-grandfather's generation, they had made great achievements and accumulated the Shwell family business.

In his grandfather's generation, he had gained a lot of fame and fortune in the war decades ago, making the Shwell family and the other three families known as the 'Four Great Families' in the military world.

His family had a very deep connection with the army. His father, uncle, and his brothers had all joined the army.

As the youngest child of the Shwell family, Jeffrey was proud of his family's honor. He had always wanted to become a powerful soldier, just like the elders in his family.

However, things did not go according to his wishes. When his mother was seven months pregnant with him, she accidentally encountered the enemy's revenge, causing her stomach to be injured. In the end, they could only save the mother and son's lives by inducing labor.

Fortunately, the operation went smoothly, and both mother and son were safe. Unfortunately, due to premature birth, his physical fitness was naturally weaker than the average person. Therefore, no matter how much Jeffrey wanted to become a soldier, his body couldn't help him fulfill this wish.

Now that he was able to live like a normal person and only looked a little thin, it was already the result of the Shwell family's efforts to maintain it.

As for why Jeffrey hid his identity and came to this city to study, it was because the current head of the Shwell family, his grandfather Retlin, had realized the undercurrents in the military a few years ago. After thinking about it, he sent Jeffrey, the youngest grandson who rarely showed his face outside due to health reasons, away from the Shwell family.

He did this so that one day, if something happened to the Shwell family, at least he could be safe.

However, he did not expect that this little grandson who did not like to talk much on a daily basis would really amaze the world with a single brilliant feat. He actually caused such a big mess by himself.

After being woken up in the middle of the night, Retlin didn't fall asleep for the entire night.

When he heard the report from the investigator, he was a little proud and a little angry.

"Can you tell me why you want to study such a dangerous thing?" Over the phone, Retlin, who was already in his seventies, sounded a little lethargic. There was no joy or anger in his tone.

But as his own grandson, Jeffrey knew very well that although his grandfather looked old, it didn't mean that he was really old. On the contrary, he was more like a lion that was temporarily sleepy. He usually looked like he was sleeping, but as long as he smelled the scent of blood, he would immediately open his sharp eyes and stare at every prey.

He sounded like a young man who had been wronged. "Grandpa, you know that I want to be a glorious soldier and serve the army."

Since his body did not allow him to become a warrior, he would use his head and his hands to help him achieve his wish.

Retlin sighed. "In your eyes, what is the mission of a warrior?"

Jeffrey answered without hesitation. "Of course it's to kill the enemy and win on the battlefield."

However, Retlin's voice was even more resolute than his. "You're wrong. The main task of a warrior is not to kill the enemy, but to protect the country and the people!"

Jeffrey's ears quivered. He didn't quite understand. "But, what's the difference between the two? Isn't the ultimate goal to kill the enemy?"

Therefore, what was wrong with him wanting to research biological weapons with high lethality? As long as he could kill the enemy, he could use any method, right?

"It's my fault." Retlin's voice carried a hint of regret. He thought that his grandson's health was too poor and he was destined to not be in the military. Therefore, he did not let him receive military education since he was young. As a result, he unknowingly raised his personality to be crooked.

"If you can't tell the difference between the two, then even if you have the chance to go to the battlefield, you won't become a glorious warrior."

Hearing the regret and frustration in his grandfather's voice, as well as the affirmation behind it, Jeffrey's heart felt cold and hot, as if he had been repeatedly soaked in cold soup and hot soup, making him feel sour and bloated, and even a little suffocated.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say that the reason for today's outcome was not his grandfather's fault, but his health. He should not blame himself for this. But at the same time, he was a little unconvinced after hearing Retlin's affirmation.
