It was unknown who said that, but the scene instantly exploded.“Exactly. Do you think you’re hot stuff? The times are different. Sonia Timberland, it’s the end of the Timberlands.”“Sonia, don’t you always think highly of yourself? Why did you come to Mr. Mitchell’s birthday banquet today? You look calm on the surface, but you must be trying to fawn over him in secret, right?”“That’s right! Now, Simon-Tooke has the governor behind him, and apparently, even the captain of the Shadow Wolves will come. Sonia won’t dare to go against Simon-Tooke even if she was made of guts!”“Hahaha...”The ladies all cackled at those words. Their laughter was loud and arrogant. They were all Sean’s admirers.However, their feelings were unrequited. Sean only liked Sonia and never even looked at ladies like them in the past.When Celestial Enterprise was established and absorbed the capital’s Crestfalls’ and the Miller family’s assets, and got the Timberland family to also join forces, the ladies
Led by Bella, the ladies all scoffed.Sean also mocked, “Even the governor has to show respect and attend in person when Simon-Tooke hosts a birthday banquet. Who do you think you are? How dare you criticize Simon-Tooke?“I might as well tell you now. The purpose of today’s banquet is to target Celestial Enterprise. Celestial Enterprise has already become the mark of public criticism. They’ll be erased after today!”Andrius could not be bothered to talk with them and casually said, “Just wait and see.”Then, Sonia and he walked into the hall.Sean’s eyes were dark and greedy as he looked at Sonia’s graceful posture as she left. “Hmph. Even now, you still dare to put on airs in front of me. Watch and see how I deal with you when Celestial Enterprise falls!”When he thought of Sonia’s exquisite and charming body at the mercy of his whims, Sean could not help but get excited. He already played out the scenario in his head a hundred times!Andrius and Sonia walked to the middle of t
Swoosh!Amid the noise, Dean slowly walked into the large hall in a fancy tuxedo.He was very unused to this tuxedo.However, in front of the governor and the captain of the Shadow Wolves, he had to pay attention to his appearance and be mindful of the details.“Ladies and gentlemen...”As soon as Dean opened his mouth, everyone fell silent out of respect.“I, Dean Mitchell, welcome the many dignitaries of the East River State to join me and celebrate my 60th birthday. I am deeply honored. Thank you all.”As he spoke, he bowed to everyone. This was the Florencian etiquette he especially learned just so he could make a good impression on the Wolf King.Clap, clap, clap!Thunderous applause immediately sounded below. The noise was deafening.After a long time, the applause slowly stopped.Dean smiled, looked at the entrance, and said in a clear voice, “Now, please welcome our esteemed guests of this banquet!”They were here!The many dignitaries immediately looked solemn and
However, to everyone’s displeasure, Andrius continued to smoke his cigarette, and Sonia continued to drink her tea.It was as if they were not involved in the matter. They looked completely indifferent and aloof.“Damn it. Go on and continue pretending.”“The calmer their faces look, the more scared they are in their hearts!”“They’re still acting. I don’t believe that they’ll be able to continue acting when the governor shows up!”Many people were furious.They could not help but whisper to one another, their words full of slander against Sonia and Andrius.In their view, Sonia and Andrius’ indifference was simply disrespect for the big figures in the military district and the Wolf King.As Cloud sat down, there were only three seats left on the center table.One was reserved for the governor, and the other two were reserved for the captain of the Shadow Wolves and the Wolf King who may or may not come.All the people’s attention also averted away from Sonia and Andrius.Af
However, what surprised everyone was that Andrius and Sonia still had straight faces.It was as if nothing in the world mattered to them!One should follow their heart in all matters!What on earth was happening?The dignitaries could not figure it out at all.How could Andrius and Sonia not be timid when faced with the governor?Were they just crazy and did not understand the governor’s strength?That was not it either!With Sonia’s shrewdness, it was impossible for her not to know what the governor signified.They were dumbfounded and puzzled.Many dignitaries shook their heads and looked away again because the governor had entered the large hall and arrived at the center table.He was the only spotlight in the large hall at the moment!As for Sonia and Andrius, they would become history when the banquet was over. There was no need to pay attention to the thoughts of people who were going to die.“Mr. Sano!”With a big smile on his face, Dean took out a large brocade bo
The Wolf King had already arrived?This news came from the governor’s mouth, so it naturally could not be false.In an instant, all the dignitaries present looked around one by one, trying to identify the Wolf King and see if they had the honor to sit at the same table with him.Unfortunately...They glanced left and right and all looked in all directions, but all they saw were the dignitaries of Sumeria they were long acquainted with, or affluent families from the capital.There were no new faces.More accurately, there was not a single face that could be the Wolf King.Dean was also shocked. He also looked around but could not find any clues either.He then asked in a low voice, “Mr. Sano, forgive my bad eyesight, but which table is the Wolf King sitting at?”Dean was excited, afraid, and fearful when asking this question. He was excited because the Wolf King really came. He was afraid because he did not recognize the Wolf King.That was too rude!It was simply disrespectf
Like the first table, the dignitaries at this table also had their hopes and fantasies instantly shattered and fell from heaven.However, that was still not the end.Each time Severus passed a table, the dignitaries would cautiously start to fantasize, but those fantasies were all shattered immediately.It happened time and time again like a never-ending cycle.Finally...Severus was about to reach the center where Sonia and Andrius were located.“That... that can’t be.”“No way. Absolutely no way.”“How can someone like him be the Wolf King?”“It’s impossible.”Many dignitaries were shocked when they saw Severus about to walk to the table where Andrius was sitting, and they had many negative thoughts.However, they banished those thoughts to the back of their heads after a short moment.Dean was even more shocked.However, like most of the others, he was soon relieved. He thought of Sonia and Andrius as nothing. Severus would surely pass them.However...To everyone’s s
The crowd was silent.Everyone was looking forward to the Wolf King before his identity was announced.Now that it was announced, everyone was afraid, especially Sean, Bella, and the others who had looked down on Andrius and mocked him. In addition to that were Dean and his people.Andrius was the Wolf King.The Wolf King was Andrius.That was just...God had played the biggest joke on them. It was also the most unacceptable joke.They all regretted it. Remorseful, they prayed fervently. They prayed for God to help them through this difficult time for once.“You guys...” Andrius spoke slowly, breaking the silence.His sharp eyes glanced around and finally fell on Dean and the others. He said with a vague smile, “Didn’t you always want to meet me? You tried all possible means to meet me. Now, I’m right in front of you. Why aren’t you talking?”Andrius’ eyes narrowed slightly as he said those words, and a faint but stern aura flickered in his gaze.Thud!Thud!Thud!As soon
