"We'll soon know if this is true or not!"
"In a moment, my best friend will answer this question. As an officer in the military, he must have been aware of the exact details! " Howard said with a satisfied smile.
He feels very proud to have a good friend in a well-placed position.
Not long after, a brown-skinned and burly young man was ushered into the banquet hall by his subordinates.
"Philip, I didn't expect you to arrive so soon. You should have dropped me when you arrived and I would have sent someone to greet you! " Howard said as he hugged her in a friendly manner.
They acted so happy to see each other that it was as if they wanted everyone to know how close they were.
Cyril who was sitting at the back of the room looked at the man for a while before he threw his face away.
He did not recognize this man.
"Howard, nice to see you again!" Philip said enthusiastically while patting his shoulder.
They were classmates in college but had not met each other since he enrolled in the military.
They occasionally chat with each other online.
It was a good time to meet because he was on break.
"Everything, let me introduce you to my good friend, Philip Blake. He is now an officer! " Howard said with special emphasis on the word "commissioner."
"As Howard's best friend, you're naturally also part of the Jenkinses. Come on, sit down and have a drink with us! " someone in the crowd shouted an invitation.
Howard nodded proudly and scanned the room to find a seat for his friend.
However, almost everyone showed up to the Jenkinses banquet.
The room was so full that he could not find a seat at all.
"Cyril, get up and make way for my friend. Go outside to eat and I'll have the chef prepare food just for you! " Howard called Cyril.
"Are you talking to me?" Cyril asked and looked at Howard.
"Who do you think I'm talking to again? Hurry up, can't you see my friend standing here? Do you want to keep him standing all the time? " Howard said harshly.
He couldn't target Vivian because of her contribution, so he shifted his annoyance to Cyril.
No one can look for his mistakes because that is a good reason.
"Huh..." Cyril smirked.
Dora quickly interjected before she could speak, "I'll sit down with Mum, so this will free up some space!"
The skirt drifted as it moved to sit on Vivian's lap.
Howard froze for a moment when he saw how plausible Dora was because this meant he could no longer target Cyril.
Everyone shifted a little now that there was space and he allowed his friend to sit next to him.
"We have heard that there was a major incident in Quinston recently. Have you heard anything about that? " Howard went straight to the point after he poured a glass of wine for his friend.
"Are you referring to people who suddenly appear with loaded weapons?" Philip answered briefly.
He added seriously, "Howard, I can only tell you that this incident did happen. However, none of us are able to poke our noses into this! "
"Is it that serious?" Howard asked skeptically.
He had taken the incident as fake news and rumors, but he knew that Philip was very serious.
This also meant that the parties involved were not ordinary people.
If Philip, an officer in the military, was unable to interfere in the matter, it was even more impossible for him to do so.
Everyone's initial excitement diminished after Philip spoke.
A few moments before anyone spoke.
"Philip, who cares about the Western Border Lord? Since this is someone we cannot know, we just ignore his existence! " Howard said disapprovingly while raising his glass.
"All right, let's keep drinking. After all, we would never come into contact with a person like him! "
"Why should we care about him when we have nothing to do with him? Let's drink! "
Immediately, everyone drank and chatted cheerfully.
"Master... Mr. Harper, I'd like to have a banquet. I wonder if you will be available to join.
"It's okay if you don't exist."
Alfred dialed the number Shawn gave him and bowed as he spoke respectfully.
"Master I said that he is very happy with your appearance today!" Shawn.
"Is he?"
Alfred was so happy that he wanted to jump for joy.
Isn't this exactly why he was willing to part with so much money?
After he realized that Cyril could mobilize so many armed men, he knew that Cyril was not a person to be taken lightly.
After he dug deeper and used some special connections, he was somewhat convinced that Cyril was none other than the Western Border King and Mr. Olspry.
