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 first


    commercial 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 being 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!”Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.
