As the true owner of the Kahman Empire and the representative of the Empire's administration, the mayor of Loen, as long as he had some ambition, he naturally wouldn't be able to tolerate someone riding on his head. The current mayor of Loen, Mr. Spalletti, was 37 years old this year. He was considered very young in the ZZ family. He was born in a poor family, but he was extremely capable. He had graduated from the Empire University, the cradle of the Empire's elites, and his career had been smooth sailing. However, because of his background, he still lacked the finishing touch …
Therefore, in order to add on to his resume that would allow him to make a great leap, Spalletti took the initiative to apply to the cabinet to be the mayor of Loen, a place that others could only hide from. After some debate, the cabinet agreed to Spalletti's request for the first time and made an exception to promote him to the mayor of Loen. Everyone knew that Spalletti's goal in coming to Loen was to make Loen have only one king, and that was the empire! Not the Church!
After taking a closer look at the smiling Spalletti, Bishop Edward Connor of the Church of the Storm on the right side of Desilio, he only took a quick glance. Although it was just a glance, it didn't mean that Connor was more interested in Spalletti than Edward. On the contrary, Connor was far more interested in Edward than Spalletti.
Edward's appearance was a very ordinary old man. He was a little thin and small. Perhaps it was because of his experience as the leader of the arbitrators that made him look stern, but the eyes on his old face were extremely bright. Although it was just a quick glance, Connor remembered Edward's big, bright eyes!
During the reign of the previous Loen Church of the Storm's Bishop Constantine, Edward, who was an official Sorcerer, was the leader of all the arbitrators in the Loen Church of the Storm. He was also a ruthless character that the Dark Sorcerers of the Loen Church of the Storm feared. Now that Edward had suddenly become the Loen Church of the Storm's bishop, Connor didn't dare to stare at Edward for too long in fear of attracting his attention. Although Connor was very confident in his concealment methods, Apprentice Sorcerers and official Sorcerers were on completely different levels.
Even someone as confident as Connor couldn't be sure that Edward wouldn't notice his concealment, so he could only try his best to keep a low profile so that Edward wouldn't notice him. Connor felt that this was already the limit of what he could do. He was really curious about Edward's appearance. After all, he guessed that Edward was the biggest beneficiary of the chaos caused by the Secret Society. He was also the ghost that Connor believed the Secret Society had hidden in the Loen Church of the Storm!
"Today, with so many Loen elites attending my banquet to welcome me, especially with Mayor Spalletti and Bishop Edward's arrival, it's truly an honor for me, Desilio, and our East Hoy Company. Here, let me toast to Mayor Spalletti and Bishop Edward. I hope that you can take care of our East Hoy Company's business in the future. Long live the Empire!" Desilio said with a smile. When he mentioned Spalletti and Edward, he deliberately emphasized his tone and pointed at them. The two big shots nodded and smiled in response.
"Long live the Empire!" Desilio raised his wine glass high. After he raised his arm and shouted, everyone in the restaurant raised their wine glasses and responded in unison.
After Desilio finished speaking, Spalletti, the mayor of Loen, stood up and spoke with fervor. He mainly emphasized that Loen and the East Hoy Company relied on each other in business, as well as the long-standing friendly relationship between Loen and the East Hoy Company. After Spalletti finished speaking, the other big shot, Bishop Edward of the Church of the Storm, also stood up. He stood on the side of the Church and praised the East Hoy Company for helping the Church of the Storm preach in the Hoy Continent. He also encouraged the East Hoy Company to continue working hard and achieve good results. After the guests and hosts finished speaking, the banquet officially began.
After drinking a few glasses of wine with George, who was in a bad mood, Connor planned to find an opportunity to leave the banquet. After all, such banquets usually lasted for five to six hours. After he gave the gift, he waited until the banquet officially began. The mission and etiquette had been fulfilled. After completing the transaction and exchanging the silver dollars for Empire pounds, Connor didn't idle around. He kept looking for a suitable gift for Desilio, and it wasn't easy for him to find the replica of the Byzantine Empire's easter egg for Desilio.
After clinking glasses with George, Connor planned to escape under the guise of being drunk. He didn't have time to socialize here; he still had alchemy puppets to research and refine!
However, just as he was about to shake his head and say a few words to pave the way for his escape, a shadowy voice sounded.
"Hey, isn't this Young Master George?" A handsome young man in a gorgeous purple suit walked towards George with a sinister smile. Although Connor did not know who this person was, he subconsciously narrowed his eyes when he saw this person appear. That was because this person's arm was wrapped around Sophia's slender waist, and she had a resentful expression on her face.
George instantly stood up when he saw this person and Sophia. If he wasn't afraid of the environment, he would have pounced on them. Even so, Connor could still clearly hear George's heavy breathing due to the anger in his heart. He clenched his fists tightly and stared at the young man with an evil smile. He said in a deep voice, "Holdin, what are you trying to do?"
After hearing Holdin's name, Connor instantly understood. He wasn't surprised that this guy had the guts to be so presumptuous at Mr. Desilio's banquet. There were a few giants in the Loen business world. The most powerful ones were the Valencia Chamber of Commerce, which was suspected by Connor of colluding with the Secret Society, and the Empire Bank. After the Empire Bank and the Valencia Chamber of Commerce, there were a few other big companies, including the Sanchez Bank, which was run by George's Sanchez Family, the Barrera Financial Group, and the Mustaffi Chamber of Commerce.
Although Connor didn't know this person called Holdin by George, he had heard of this name before.
