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 blame 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 glass while talking
and laughing with several important figures.
A middle-aged man with a big belly flattered, “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 time comes, don’t forget to give me a hand too!”
At first, Stanley was reluctant to let these people come to the banquet in fear that they would also
benefit from Ares.
However, as he listened to the group of business tycoons flattering 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!” He laughed heartily.
“After tonight, I believe that Cleapolis’ economy will increase tenfold as well!”
Hearing that, the crowd instantly clapped 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 succeed 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 placed 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 glanced 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
relaying 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 was completely silent.
Paige cleared her throat under everyone’s eyes and she declared loudly, “Ares has already arrived!” novelbin
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!”
