"Hello, sir. The entire Empire Hotel has been booked for today's welcome banquet. May I know if you have an invitation?" When Connor, who was dressed in an expensive handmade suit and carrying a silver suitcase, alighted from the luxurious carriage, a middle-aged man who looked like a lobby manager greeted him with a smile.
After glancing at the middle-aged man, Connor didn't waste any time and directly took out a luxurious blue invitation card and handed it over.
"Young Master Ferguson, welcome to the Empire Hotel!" The lobby manager carefully checked the invitation card and after confirming that there was no problem, he respectfully returned the card to Connor.
After taking back the invitation and walking into the Empire Grand Hotel, he couldn't help but sigh at the extravagance of the Empire Grand Hotel, the biggest hotel in the Kaman Empire's West Coast, despite having come here for a meal with George and company. At that moment, there were already hundreds of well-dressed gentlemen and beautiful ladies gathered in the banquet hall, but the hall didn't seem crowded at all!
The tables around the hall were filled with all kinds of precious dishes that ordinary people wouldn't even see in their lifetime, let alone be able to afford them. The banquet participants were free to eat.
Connor looked around and saw the center of everyone's interaction. Although he had expected it, he still couldn't help but be shocked when he saw it in person. George's father, Mr. Harvey, the president of the Valencia Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Sancho, the speaker of the lower house of the Loen Parliament, and many other big shots that could only be seen in the major newspapers of Loen were all gathered here, chatting and laughing amidst the compliments of the crowd.
The gathering of these people made Connor have a better understanding of the influence of the main character of today's banquet, his uncle from the Ranieri Family, the big boss of the East Khoy Company, Desilio Ranieri.
"Connor, it's actually you?" A surprised female voice entered Connor's ears.
When he heard the voice, the image of a scheming woman appeared in Connor's mind. He couldn't help but frown slightly. However, for the sake of George, Connor still turned around and forced a smile. He greeted the blonde woman behind him who was dressed in an expensive evening gown. She looked as if she couldn't wait to show her two lumps of flesh on her chest. "Miss Sophia, I'm very happy to see you here!"
That's right, the boldly dressed blonde who greeted Connor at this time was Connor's "classmate" at Greene University. Miss Sophia, the social butterfly who tried to hook up with Connor but failed. Later, she hooked up with George.
"Me too. I didn't expect to see you here. What a surprise!" Sophia, who was wearing heavy makeup, had been covering her mouth with her hand. She appeared very shy.
Looking at the green tea bitch's shy face, Connor was so disgusted that he almost threw up his dinner from last night. Connor hurriedly waved the silver box in his hand at Sophia. "Erm, I still have to give this gift to Uncle. Let's talk later."
After saying that, Connor didn't wait for Sophia to reply. Connor gave her a polite smile and quickly walked to the side.
Although Connor was very polite and courteous, it was obvious from his words and actions that he was trying to avoid disaster. Although Sophia did not show any dissatisfaction on her face, there was still a hint of anger in her eyes.
After getting rid of Sophia, Connor went to the room at the back of the hall. He knew that the host of today's banquet, Mr. Desilio, should be here.
The moment Connor stepped into the back of the hall with a small silver case, he immediately noticed that over 10 pairs of eyes were fixed on him. Two young men in tight clothes walked towards him with cold looks. Although they looked young, Connor could clearly sense the exuberant vitality of the two young men. Without a doubt, they were official knights that were rarely seen in the outside world.
Before the two knights could ask him anything, Connor smiled and introduced himself first, "I'm Connor Ferguson, the heir of Count Flosinone Ferguson's family. Today, I'm here to visit Uncle Desilio on behalf of my family. Please inform him of my arrival!"
After hearing Connor's self-introduction, the two young knights looked better. They exchanged glances, and one of them walked to the back of the hall. The other one smiled at Connor and said, "Mr. Connor, please wait here for a moment. I'll inform him of your arrival!"
"Sorry to trouble you!" Knowing that it was easy to meet the King of Hell, but difficult to deal with the little ghosts, he didn't mind saying a few polite words to these servants of Mr. Desilio.
Soon, the servant who went to inform Connor came back. He lowered his head slightly and said to him, "Young Master Ferguson, Mr. Desilio invites you to come in!"
Connor smiled and nodded at the young knight. He then carried the box and walked to the back of the room.
Tap! Tap! Connor knocked on the door twice. A hearty voice sounded from the other side of the door, "The door isn't locked. Come in, Connor!"
Slowly pushing open the door, Connor looked at the tall middle-aged man who was smiling at him in the room at this time. A smile also hung on his angular face.
"Nice to meet you, Uncle Desilio!" Connor, who was carrying a small silver case, bowed slightly to the tall middle-aged man in front of him to show his respect.
After bowing, before Connor could even lift himself up, his uncle took the initiative to step forward and helped Connor up. He even pretended to be angry as he said, "Don't worry, I'm not going to let you go.
"Connor, you're too polite. The last time I saw you in Flosinone, you were only 11 years old. In the blink of an eye, more than 10 years have passed. You've already grown up, haha!" Mr. Desilio was very enthusiastic when he saw Connor.
After some small talk between uncle and nephew, Connor solemnly handed the silver box over to Uncle Desilio with both hands. He said seriously, "Uncle Desilio, the Ferguson Family is deeply grateful for your care over the years. Now that Uncle Desilio has returned to the Empire, the Ferguson Family has specially prepared a gift for you. I hope Uncle Desilio will like it!"
Looking at Connor's serious attitude, Mr. Desilio's eyes flashed with surprise. He also took the silver box from Connor's hands with both hands.
According to Kaman's customs, after receiving a gift from someone in person, one would have to open it in person. However, after receiving the silver box from Connor, Mr. Desilio's large hand merely stroked the intricate patterns on the small silver box and did not open it in an attempt to understand.
