Chapter 413
This time, Arnold didn't stop his son's actions.
In the Empire of Qustia, social ranks existed since ancient times, where people had been ranked accordingly, from scholars to farmers, workers, and merchants.
Although they were now in the 21st Century, businessmen's status had grown far higher than that of mere academics. They weren't the lowly businessmen in the olden days who were regarded with contempt.
However, due to the historical influence of the official standard for thousands of years, the people of Qustia were in awe of the chief.
Therefore, Arnold knew that Kingsley was most likely the head of the Coliree Group.
Yet, in front of so many provincial and municipal leaders, he still chose to keep silent.
Eric noticed that his father didn't stop him, and he couldn't help but get even more excited!
He pointed at Kingsley and continued, "Boy! Don't pretend to be deaf! Just leave if you still want to keep your reputation intact!"
"Alas…" Kingsley sighed and placed his chopsticks down. "Is it so hard for me to have lunch?"
He stood up and walked over slowly to Walter and Loretta.
After he bowed in front of the two, he said, "Mrs. Hewitt, I did come to wish you a happy birthday and
for you to live a healthy and prosperous life. Unfortunately, I rushed over and didn't have time to prepare a proper gift for you. I hope you don't mind."
"Thank you," Mrs. Hua said dotingly. "It's already a blessing that you could attend my birthday."
Kingsley smiled softly. "However, even though I didn't have enough time to prepare a birthday gift, I've invited a group of people for you!"
As soon as he said that, there were sounds of drinks being spat out.
"Pfft! Did I hear that right? Inviting other people on their birthday?! Where did he get his courage to spit those words out?!"
"Hahaha… Is there something wrong with him? He didn't invite all his seven aunts to dinner, did he?!"
"How could Mr. Maslow have such a worthless friend?! Isn't that such a slap in the face?!"
Everyone was pointing at Kingsley scornfully.
Eric didn't bother to conceal his mocking sneer any longer. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
"Hey Nicholson, are you an idiot?! Look around and see what occasion this is. How can you hire a group of people to cheer someone up?! Do you think this is a bachelorette party?!"
Heston was even more surprised and said lowly, "Mr. Nicholson, what are you doing here? The provincial capital is here today! Even the mayor! You shouldn't mess…"
Kingsley was here as Will's friend!
Heston was worried that if Kingsley offended those leaders, he would be out of luck!
Nevertheless, Kingsley merely gave him a reassuring smile. "Mr. Maslow, don't worry. I greatly respect Mrs. Hewitt, and I won't mess around."
Eric heard what he said and retorted, "Hehe, won't mess around? You're already at fault for clearly wanting to disrupt the party!"
At this moment, the hotel manager hurried over as soon as Eric finished speaking. He said quietly to them, "President Hewitt, there's a group of people coming in to celebrate her birthday."
Walter was stunned. "Since they're here to celebrate her birthday, let them in. Why do you need to report it to me?"
"Because… They don't look like guests or ordinary people…" The hotel manager stuttered. "They don't look like good people…"
"They don't look like good people?" Walter was even more surprised. "Who are they?"
Just as the manager was about to explain, a loud hearty voice came from the lobby's entrance.
"Happy birthday, Mrs. Hewitt! We just came to Diosna City, and we've come to pay our respects!"
Behind the voice, more than a dozen men joined him.
They all had tattoos of dragons and tigers on their bodies. There were even several scars on a few of their faces!
The leader was none other than Leoric Schneider!
The Sunshine Casino had completely taken over this whole party!
