"Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend my father's 50th birthday!"With everyone watching, Curtis walked up to the crowd and spoke, displaying a graceful demeanor that a noble heir should have."Mr. Lake, you're too kind. We naturally need to congratulate Old Master on his 50th birthday!""That's right. The Lake family has contributed a lot to Ocean City's development over the years. We should all congratulate him!""Hahaha, Old Master Lake is still as energetic as before. He doesn't look old at all! If you ask me, today isn't the birthday of an old man but a young man!"...Everyone flattered him, humbling themselves as they spoke.Hearing the compliments, Curtis smiled and said again, "My father's the star today. I won't steal his thunder!"With that said, Curtis stepped back, and the head of the Lake family, Kennedy Lake, went up to the crowd."I'm glad you could be here to celebrate my 50th birthday."My home is your home today. Let's all enjoy our
"Is that what Curtis bought you for your birthday? I can't accept that."It's just a piece of emerald. Old Master Lake, don't take it to heart. Everyone in Ocean City knows you like antiques and paintings. I won't take away what you love."I won't take Moon Lake Painting."Mr. Winters waved his hand and said with a smile.Kennedy froze slightly, looking a little anxious as if he wanted to say something, but Mr. Winters interrupted him with a wave.Kennedy said nothing more.With Mr. Winters' position, he could get anything he wanted.That imperial emerald and the Moon Lake Painting were precious to everyone else, but it was nothing much to Mr. Winters."The patriarch of the Willard family, Chester Willard, presents an emerald pendant and a pair of bracelets to Old Master Lake, wishing him happiness and a long life!"The chairman of Tiara Group, Benjamin Settler, presents a pair of antique vases for Old Master Lake, wishing him a long life!"The patriarch of the Xavier family,
Giving coffins was not a good gesture at any time.Today was the head of the Lake family—Kennedy's 50th birthday, but the four of them joined hands to give the head of the Lake family coffins.It was no doubt a slap in the face for the Lake family."Michael, Theodore, Jadon, and Sean are so brazen!""These three patriarchs never had problems with the Lake family, so why did they do this all of a sudden?""I don't know, but I have a feeling that Old Master Carver, Old Master Davis, and Mr. Quartz probably did this because of Sean!""Who is this Sean? How did he get these three patriarchs to do this with him?"...All the guests in Lake Residence looked confused, but some people who knew Sean's identity began to tell the people around them about Sean and Optimus Security Services.When everyone heard that Sean was just the owner of a security firm, everyone felt disbelief.The owner of a small security firm was able to get the patriarch of the Carver family, the patriarch of th
Everyone there had a clear idea of what was going on, so they all sat quietly in their places. No one got up.At Lake Residence's courtyard, Curtis, who came out first, looked hostilely at the four people before him.Sean stood at the front, while Michael, Theodore, and Jadon stood behind him.The three most famous patriarchs in Ocean City were standing behind Sean as if they were his sidekicks.Next to the four men stood four coffins as tall as men.The coffins were coarse, so you could tell they were cheap. The coffins were sent at this time purely to insult the Lake family."Sean! What are you trying to do?"Curtis glared at Sean and asked through clenched teeth.Although the Lake family was powerful, Ocean City's dignitaries sat in Lake Residence. Even with the Lake family's power, they could not shut everyone's mouth.Word about today was bound to get out, and soon everyone in Ocean City would know.Sean chuckled and said, "As you can see, we sent your dad coffins!"Hea
"Old Master Lake, you're indeed getting old. Don't you see the coffins beside us?"Sean looked at Kennedy and said with a smile.Kennedy gave him an intense glance and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?""Old Master Lake, it seems that you not only have bad eyesight but also bad hearing and memory."Didn't I just say I'm Sean Lennon, the chairman of Optimus Security Services, and brought you a coffin?"Sean said, patting the coffin beside him.Kennedy's face reddened as he trembled slightly with anger.Before Kennedy could speak again, someone else emerged from Lake Residence.Jadon's expression immediately changed at the sight of the middle-aged man. Even the expressions of Michael and Theodore, who were next to him, also changed slightly.Jadon stepped closer to Sean and whispered, "Don't mess with the middle-aged man."Sean glanced at the middle-aged man who had just emerged from Lake Residence and nodded slightly.In all his time in Ocean City, he had never heard of th
Mr. Winters only smiled, neither agreeing nor refusing.Seeing his reaction, Kennedy stopped talking and waved to the dozens of the Lake family's bodyguards behind him.The bodyguards immediately nodded and surrounded Sean and his gang.Vroom vroom.Suddenly, a great roar came from the distance, and the crowd only felt a slight tremor in the ground beneath their feet.The sudden situation made the Lake family's bodyguards automatically stop.Kennedy and Curtis looked in the direction of the sound in shock.Even Mr. Winters showed a hint of interest."Is this how the Lake family treats their guests?"The four of us were kind enough to give birthday gifts to Old Master Lake, yet the Lake family sent their guards on us."I've lived most of my life and never suffered such treatment!"Theodore made an angry face and shouted at Kennedy.Kennedy's gaze fell on Theodore, his eyes filled with disbelief.The look in Kennedy's eyes seemed to express that there was no way he would res
"Mr. Lennon, are these losers trying to attack you?"Daniel looked hostilely at the Lake family bodyguards and said in a cold voice.Sean smiled inexplicably and said, "What do you think?""F*ck! How dare they disrespect you, Mr. Lennon? Boys! Cripple them!"Daniel understood what Sean meant and shouted.Hundreds of Optimus Security Services' members instantly pounced at the bodyguard closest to them as if he had done them a great personal wrong.Three times as many men meant one bodyguard had to fight against at least three of Optimus' members.The abilities of Optimus' members were undoubtedly not what the Lake family's bodyguards could handle. Besides, it was three against one."F*ck! Bro! Let's talk it out. Don't hit me in the face!""Ah! Where are you hitting? What if you hit me in the nuts?""Ah! Help! Somebody help me!"...Within seconds, dozens of the Lake family's bodyguards who had been glaring at Sean lay on the ground, moaning slightly from time to time.Curti
Sean's smiling voice rang behind him.Before leaving, Elton glared at Kennedy and said coldly, "If you threaten Mr. Lennon again, I'll make sure you won't see tonight's moon!""Y-You f*cking...""Hm? I haven't even mentioned you, yet you seem to have a big opinion of me."Curtis tried to speak but was rudely interrupted by Elton.Looking at Elton's hostile gaze, Curtis immediately fell silent.The usually arrogant heir of the Lake family was like a frightened little sheep. He was even too scared to make a sound."Hmph! Good!"Elton snorted coldly and turned around to go back to Daniel's side.Daniel patted his brother on the shoulder and said with a laugh, "Those slaps felt so good. Hahaha!"For a moment, Optimus' members burst into laughter.The unbridled laughter pricked Kennedy and Curtis' hearts.Sean was smiling too.The two parties dared not do anything more. They stayed in a stalemate in front of Lake Residence's gate.Seeing that the sun was already high up in the
