Chapter 7- Surprisingly, Elvis Was Received As An Honored Guest
1080 Words
Looking at the man standing in the middle of the banquet hall, Scott was absolutely astounded.
As the second son of the Smiths, he naturally knew that Elvis was a legendary figure.
Even his brother, Martin Smith, was one of Elvis’s soldiers, which made him insanely jealous.
He had learned from Martin that Elvis was now in the city of Murray, so he had decided to come here on the business himself, hoping to have the pleasure of meeting Elvis. But he hadn’t expected to meet Elvis at the party.
“I’m terribly sorry that you are not happy here, Mr. George.” Scott walked quickly over to Elvis and apologized.
Scott just called Elvis Mr. George, because he noticed that Elvis seemed to mask his real identity. Otherwise, Elvis’s position in T nation didn’t need to punish those people himself at all.
“You don’t need to have a guilt trip about it. It’s not your fault.” Elvis said, nodding at Scott.
Upon hearing Elvis’s words, Scott breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, Elvis’s brilliant achievements in the war had been recognized with the award of the title ‘the Duke of Aries’. And even the king held him in high regard. Although the Smith family was the most prestigious family in T nation, it was not able to take on Elvis at all. So now, maybe only those narrow-minded and ignorant notables in the city of Murray dared to provoke him.
Standing beside Scott, Bob appeared calm, but inside his mind kept turning in an endless loop.
As the second son of the Smiths, Scott had been brought up in an atmosphere of luxury and wealth. Therefore, he was a bit haughty. After he had arrived in the city of Murray, several local families including the Greens had tried every possible means to see him, but all of them had been refused.
Now, however, Scott, who always had a very relaxed manner in front of the Royal Family, was standing respectfully in front of Elvis.
Judging from Scott’s attitude towards Elvis, the latter was likely to be the Duke of Aries!
At the thought of that, Bob broke out in a cold sweat. He congratulated himself on having stopped the bodyguards from throwing Elvis out…
“Tell me exactly what happened just now, Bob!” ordered Scott.
Now that Elvis didn’t want to blow his cover, he would help him deal with those trouble makers. After all, it was a rare opportunity to work for Elvis.
After learning the ins and outs of the matter from Bob, Scott pointed at Leo as well as those who had been slapped by Elvis, and ordered the bodyguards, “Throw them out right now!”
As a matter of fact, Scott had already decided what to do with those trouble makers. Even if they had just been killed by Elvis, Scott would not dare to blame the latter, let alone they had merely been slapped. He had asked Bob for details, just to ascertain the target of punishment.
Upon hearing that, the other guests were all struck dumb with shock. They didn’t quite understand what all this was about.
‘Why Elvis was received as an honored guest, while those who had been slapped by him were all thrown out? What had happened to Elvis in the past seven years? Did he really have a strong backing now?’ They wondered.
But a shrewd man knew what he could say and what he couldn’t. Thus, none of them dared to talk about it.
“Have a seat, please, Mr. George,” Scott said deferentially, gesturing for Elvis to seat himself at the head of the table.
Without saying anything, Elvis took Mandy’s hand and sat down.
It was the first time Scott got so close to Elvis. Therefore, he was extremely excited. Though he tried not to let his excitement show, his respectful attitude towards Elvis still planted questions in the guests’ minds, especially in Mandy’s.
“Elvis, have you met Mr. Smith junior before?” Mandy asked, no longer able to control her curiosity.
“One of my comrades is Mr. Smith junior’s relative,” Elvis replied, and a smile touched the corners of his mouth.
‘Scott’s brother was his soldier, but at the same time, he was also his comrades. So in some ways, what he had just said to Mandy was not a lie.’ Elvis thought to himself.
“Just call me Scott, Mr. George,” said Scott humbly.
He stole a covert glance at Mandy and immediately knew the purpose of Elvis’s current visit. Then he turned to Bob and ordered, “Let’s get down to business, Bob.”
As soon as he finished his words, there was a hubbub in the banquet hall.
All the guests present had the same purpose of their current visit, to get cooperation with the Smiths. So they immediately put what had just happened behind them, scrambling to spark up a conversation with Scott.
“Mr. Smith junior, my family has lived in this area from time immemorial. We have a wide range of contacts. So if you choose to cooperate with us, we will surely achieve a win-win situation.”
“Our group is the industry leader in the city of Murray. We have excellent operation ability. If you cooperate with us, I can assure you that your company will make a quick profit within one year.”
…
However, no matter how hard they tried to brag about the strength of their groups, Scott remained indifferent to it, because he had already determined a good partner.
He turned to Mandy and asked, “Are you interested in this partnership, Miss Green? We can sign the contract at once if you’re interested.”
Mandy was completely dumbfounded by his words. She had thought she had only a slim chance of getting cooperation with the Smiths this time, and she had even racked her brains thinking of various solutions.
Now, however, it seemed that lady luck was on her side. What’s more, she hadn’t even mentioned her intention of cooperation to Scott yet.
