Chapter 2383


    Soon, the convoy of vehicles arrived at the State Guesthouse.


    Arge crowd had gathered there, and everyone had admirable backgrounds. After all, only influential people from all walks of life had the right to attend this weing banquet.


    All five of the Reclusive Families had sent representatives to offer their congrattions to Cayden.


    Except for the Norris family, the remaining four families all sent a butler bringingvish gifts to show their sincerity withoutmanding too much attention.


    Due to their esteemed reputation, it would be a little over the top and bring Cayden unnecessary trouble if all the heads of the families were to appear and celebrate his return.


    After all, the President and the Chief Military Governor were also present at the event. Although Cayden was the honored guest, it was not a good thing to hog the limelight as it would only bring trouble to them.


    The heads of the Five Reclusive Families would not make such an amateurish mistake, so they sent representatives to congratte him. The representative sent by the Norris family to congratte Cayden was a member of the younger generation, Hubert Norris.


    Following Layden s appearance, the guests immediately cheered excitedly as Hubert and the others quickly stepped forward to wee his return. Countless people gathered around him, and at that moment, his poprity seemed to have greatly surpassed the President and the Chief Military Governor.


    The banquet started not long after.


    Garrett downed a few sses and said a speech before leaving after a while. After all, someone of his status did not linger in any banquets or events. After the President had left, the Chief Military Governor also followed suit with the excuse that he had to attend to some important tasks. However, upon leaving, Nathan took off his Leviathan mask and phoenix military coat. He then changed into an ordinary suit and appeared at the banquet again using his own identity, apanied by Colin.


    The reason for doing that was because he had grown suspicious of Cayden.


    Knowing that the man would not


    reveal his true colors in front of the Chief Military Governor, he changed into regr clothes and quietly appeared at the banquet at the State Guesthouse as Nathan. He found a seat in the most inconspicuous corner and sat down, drinking nonchntly while observing Cayden, who was socializing with people from all walks of life in the distance.

    Nathan intended to find some clues by secretly observing in the corner.


    To his disappointment, Cayden did not act out of character despite mingling with a lot of guests and getting a little drunk after downing quite a bit of wine.


    Not only did he not say anything wrong, but he also did not do anything that seemed problematic to Nathan.


    Could it be that my perception was wrong? Could it all be a coincidence that Cayden came back from Jetroina, and his voice just sounded simr?


    Just as Nathan frowned and fell into deep thought, a clear female voice rang in his ear.


    "Nathan!"


    Surprised, he raised his head and saw a beautiful woman in a strapless evening dress standing in front of him.


    The woman was none other than the daughter of the Minister of Health, Cheryl, who had always been in love with him.


    Not expecting to see her there, Nathan eximed, “Cheryl, what a coincidence!"


    Cheryl stared at him impassively.


    "Not at af. My dad is the Minister of Health, so he''d definitely attend this banquet, and it''s only natural that I''m here as well."


    As she spoke, she turned to address the guest sitting beside Nathan politely. "Hello. I''m friends with him. Could you offer me a seat?" Unexpectedly, the man sitting beside Nathan knew who she was.


    The man hurriedly replied, "Of course. Please have a seat, Ms. Stewart. I''ll sit elsewhere."


    With that, he immediately offered his seat to Cheryl and went to sit at the neighboring table.
