A Life Beyond Limits (Jack Holland) novel Chapter 630

Frank was utterly surprised.

Jack remained remarkably composed as he spoke. Even after achieving such a great feat, he showed no trace of arrogance.

His calm demeanor and poise left Frank deeply impressed.

Unable to hold back, he continued, "You know what? Due to certain circumstances, our country never established formal relations with Paria. But this time, they gave us a grand reception, and their leaders held talks with us. Now, we're about to officially establish diplomatic ties!"

At the mention of diplomacy, Frank's eyes lit up with excitement. After all, achieving that through his own efforts was something he could truly be proud of.

And in all this, Jack's connections had played a crucial role.

Even now, Frank still didn't fully understand why Paria had shown such high-level hospitality. Forging formal diplomatic relations with Paria was undoubtedly a major victory. It was a significant boost to his career in foreign affairs.

Jack's eyes lit up at the news. "Really?"

"How could I joke about something like this?" Frank couldn't help but laugh.

"Come to think of it, you're truly my lucky charm! And it seems we share many common interests."

When Frank called Jack his "lucky charm," it wasn't just because he had helped him out of danger. It was also because the diplomatic breakthrough had earned Frank valuable political capital. That alone could give his future career a significant boost.

They discussed everything from the political tensions between Paria and Claymonton to "Das Kapital". Eventually, their conversation shifted to global finance and international affairs.

Charlotte found it hard to imagine two people from such different generations. Yet, they had somehow managed to find so much common ground.

By dinnertime, Zane, Neil, and Leo had returned, accompanied by Jack's acquaintance, Mona.

Everyone was delighted to see Jack. Leo and Neil greeted him with enthusiastic bear hugs, while Zane offered a warm handshake.

Only Mona looked slightly surprised, likely not expecting to see Jack at the evening gathering.
