Chapter 2142 Announcing the Gifts
Actually, Old Mrs. Bane didn''t really like Matthew, and she even found him a little distasteful. In her
opinion, Matthew probably nned the whole thing. He probably deliberately hurt Anthony''s arm just so

that he could treat it with his superior medical skills.
By doing this, not only would Anthony feel guilty, but he would also develop a liking for him. He''s so
skilled at ying ''carrot after stick'' that nobody noticed anything amiss. He''s still so young yet he''s
already so cunning. No wonder Roxanne ispletely under his spell and he''s on her mind all the
time. Meanwhile, he couldn''t be bothered to waste a second toward the other regr members of the
Bane Family.
When she considered all these factors, she reckoned that Matthew was purposely trying to get into the
good books of the Bane Family''s main family. He probably figured that he would use the Banes as a
stepping stone to expand his influence by leeching onto them since they were a powerful family.
At the other side of the party, everyone was already waiting in excitement. So, when Old Mrs. Bane
appeared, they all stood up to wee her.
Born in one of the top ten families in the country, Old Mrs. Bane was from the Harding Family and her
maiden name was Marissa Harding. Her family had invested in the Martial League since she was
young and had countless disciples within the organization. Over the years, many of those disciples
were now important and influential figures in the Martial League.
Once she was seated in the center seat, everyone immediately started giving her birthday wishes on
behalf of the group they represented. "Happy Birthday, Old Mrs. Bane! We wish you a long, healthy
life!"
Marissa answered them happily, "Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedules to attend
my birthday party. I''m deeply honored by your presence. Please be at ease and take your seats."
After that, everyone took their seats, and it was time for an important part of the banquet—revealing the
gifts.
This was supposed to be a way to express the thoughts of the guests attending the banquet, but it
slowly turned into apetition due to selfishness and vanity.
"The Damron Family of Bainbridge presents a three-foot angel sculpture." When the master of
ceremonies started speaking, the noises from the crowd died down and the room turned silent before a
round of surprised gasps echoed.
As everyone watched curiously, the sculpture made of gold was carried into the room by ten strong
men with great difficulty.
The sculpture shone brightly and had lifelike features. In addition, it was made of gold and sculptured
by the renowned national sculptor of the country, Chris Morris.
The value of this gift was no less than 290 million, and what made it even more precious was the
sincerity behind such a present. After all, Chris Morris had already announced his retirement a few
years ago because of his age. Yet, Aurelius was able to persuade him out of retirement.
Marissa admired the statue before her as she nodded and said with a smile, "Thank you for the gift, Mr.
Damron."
"It''s just a small token of my sincerity. I''m d that it brought a smile to your face. Again, I would like to
represent the Damron Family and wish you a prosperous, long life!" Aurelius brimmed with pride as he
returned to his seat while enjoying the stares of awe from the crowd.
"The Luby Family presents an antique painting from Sir Micah, a set of porcin vases, and a pair of
rare jade. May Old Mrs. Bane enjoy a long life of abundance."
"King of the South, Master Levi, presents a pair of jade, and the unrivaled swordsman, Mr. Heath Solis,
presents a sword." Updated at Draмаnоvеls.cоm
Their gifts paled inparison to the ones from the Damron and Luby Families. Even though they
were umon, they could barelypare to the ones before them.
