Chapter 206


    Kingsley smiled slightly. "Not only will they apologize to him, they will even serve him well."


    "That''s total nonsense!" Paige pouted. "This simply would never happen!"


    Kingsley shrugged. "If you don''t believe me, you can just wait and see."


    Just as he finished speaking, Jeffred walked towards them respectfully. "Mr. Nicholson, things have


    really gotten out of hand today… I''m truly sorry…"


    "You don''t have to apologize," Kingsley responded indifferently. "But I''m not attending the banquet


    tonight."


    "W-What… You aren''t?!"


    For a second, Jeffred''s face turned as white as a sheet. All of the important figures in Cleapolis had


    already arrived, so how could the main character of the night say that he wouldn''t participate just like


    that?


    "Don''t worry, Director Church. I''ll take care of everything. I won''t let you take the me for this."


    Kingsley opened the door and entered the car before he waved at Paige. "Miss Tanner, I''m leaving


    now. See you next time!"


    Saying that, he drove his dented Volkswagen Phaeton out of the parking lot of the Marley Hotel. While


    he stopped at a red light at an intersection, he sent Lev Ignatov a text message, asking him to issue an


    order to Paige again.


    In the meantime, in the banquet hall of the Marley Hotel, Stanley was holding a wine ss while talking


    andughing with several important figures.


    A middle-aged man with a big belly ttered, "President Kean, you really have connections


    everywhere! I can''t believe you were able to invite the God of War, Ares!"


    The others voiced their agreement as well. "Yes! It seems that it will not take long for Kean Corporation


    to build the firstmercial empire in Cleapolis!"


    "President Kean, when that timees, don''t forget to give me a hand too!"


    At first, Stanley was reluctant to let these peoplee to the banquet in fear that they would also


    benefit from Ares.


    However, as he listened to the group of business tycoons ttering him, he was practically smiling from


    ear to ear. It was especially so when he saw that even the chairman of Ramada Corporation was one


    of the group and it made him feel like he was on cloud nine.


    "Haha, don''t worry, as long as Ares says something, we can all rise in power!" Heughed heartily.


    "After tonight, I believe that Cleapolis'' economy will increase tenfold as well!"


    Hearing that, the crowd instantly pped in excitement. "This is all thanks to President Kean!"


    "That''s right; in the future, Kean Corporation will be leading the business in Cleapolis!"


    "Hahaha…"


    Everyone in the banquet hall was hyped up. Even Andrew, who had been withering away recently, had


    an excited smile. If he could meet Ares, it would be extremely simple to find his teacher, Boris. Then,


    the academic forum can be held as scheduled, and he would get the green light to seed and


    flourish.

    Just as the atmosphere in the banquet hall was boiling with excitement, Paige and Jeffred suddenly


    walked inside. When they saw Paige decked out in her military uniform, the room fell into a hush as


    everyone breathed heavily with excitement. If the military was here, it showed that Ares would also be


    coming soon. Perhaps he might even arrive in the next second.


    Stanley wiped the sweat from his palms on his expensive suit and greeted them enthusiastically with


    open arms. "Officer—"


    However, before he could finish, Paige ced her hands behind her back, her face full of apathy.


    Feeling extremely awkward, Stanley forcibly changed the direction of his hand and grabbed Jeffred''s


    hand instead. "You''re here, Director Church!"


    As he spoke, he nced at the entrance behind Jeffred and lowered his voice, asking, "Where is Ares?


    Has he arrived?"


    "Haha... you''ll find out about that very soon. Jeffred squeezed out a smile. "Major Tanner will be


    rying Ares'' decree."


    Hearing that, everyone leaned forward and pricked up their ears, staring closely at Paige, as if they


    were afraid that they would miss a single word. All of a sudden, other than the sound of heavy


    breathing, the entire banquet hall waspletely silent.


    Paige cleared her throat under everyone''s eyes and she dered loudly, "Ares has already arrived!"


    At her words, the crowd burst into an uproar. Ares is really here! What a huge honor! Everyone could


    barely control their excitement at the news.


    Meanwhile, Andrew couldn''t hold his tears back. He clenched his fists tightly, shouting inwardly that he


    had finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel.


    "Silence!" Jeffred waved his arms to hush the crowd as he yelled loudly, "Wait for Major Tanner to


    finish!"
