Chapter 409
"It''s Will and that Nicholson guy who picked a fight with me!" Eric whined. "They were stepping all over
me. Should I just stand there and take it?"
Arnold had a stern expression on his face as he warned him coldly, "I''ll fill you in on the details once
we''re home. All you have to know is, Mr. Nicholson, isn''t someone you can offend!"
"I got it, Dad." When Eric noticed the livid expression on his father''s face, he didn''t dare to argue with
him and answered with a nod. Despite that, he still couldn''t ept it, as he thought maliciously, What
should I do to Kingsley Nicholson so that I can avenge the insult I suffered?
At the same time, Zeke looked incredibly sullen in a corner at the back rows.
He never imagined that even Eric wasn''t able to crush Kingsley!
He shot daggers at Kingsley, who was seated in the front row, as he muttered viciously, "F*cker, I''ll let
you live for a little longer. You''ve already stepped on Eric Yorkshire''s toes, and I''ll think of ways to make
him kill you!"
Although everyone''s minds were whirring with plots and schemes, the banquet had officially begun.
On the stage, the master of the ceremony kicked it off by saying some words in celebration of Loretta''s
birthday before he started introducing the important figures seated in the front seats. Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org.
"Here, we have the senior officers from Sris, Minister Hansen, and Chief Rees, the mayor of Diosna,
Mr. Norris. The chiefmissioner, Director Klein, and next to him is Mr. Higgins…"
The MC introduced them one by one. Yet, whenever he announced their title, the audience would still
gush in surprise.
They were all in awe at The Hero''s Family''s influence and how they were capable of inviting so many
influential figures from so many fields to attend Loretta''s birthday banquet!
Even the MC was shaking in excitement. "This is the president of Scarlet Heart Group, Mr. Maslow, and
his son. Next is…"
When it was time to introduce Kingsley, he came to a pause because there was no such person on the
guest list that the hotel manager gave him!
All of a sudden, beads of sweat formed on his forehead and trickled down his hairline.
"He is… He is…"
His lips trembled uncontrobly as he tried his best to recall the guest list.
This young man can''t possibly be someone simple if he''s taking a seat with all the other people of
influence! he thought. If I can''t introduce him, it will be a back-breaking mistake in my job!
Just when more sweat was flowing down his forehead, Kingsley smiled softly. "I''m just a friend of Will
and a nobody."
When the people heard this, they all had different types of expressions—the MC let out a long sigh of
relief, feeling as though he had narrowly avoided the guillotine. Will and Heston were filled with
excitement when Kingsley acknowledged them as his friend, and Eric snorted with a look of contempt.
What the others didn''t see was that Arnold had turned a notch more gloomy and was even fidgeting in
his seat.
Meanwhile, the other important figures from the business and political world couldn''t help but frown
upon hearing that Kingsley was just a regr person without any background.
They coldly stared at Heston, thinking that he was simply too ignorant to seat a young man without any
title at the main table on such an asion!
The same thought was running through the minds of the people at the other tables. They were all
reputable people in Diosna—mainly renowned businessmen and superiors of various departments in
the town council—but even with their statuses, they couldn''t get a seat at the main table.
What gave that guy named Nicholson that right, then?
For a moment, everyone looked unhappy andined in low voices, "How could the Scarlet Heart
Group do such a thing? How could they ce a young man without any titles at the main table?"
"Exactly! Are they looking down at us?"
"What''s the deal with the Maslows? Don''t they know that the leaders are very concerned about
rankings and seating arrangements?"
