Mason stood to the side, watching Matthias' polite and enthusiastic attitude towards Lachlan, feeling a twinge of emotion in his heart.
Once upon a time, the Graham family was an unattainable presence in his mind when he first came with Lachlan to attend the auction.
As the underground boss in Edoland, he couldn't even get close to anyone in charge. He had to follow everyone else's rules and sit obediently at the auction house like everyone else. He couldn't even wander around freely.
But now, following his brother-in-law here, he found that even the head of the Graham family had come over to greet him.
The contrast between then and now made Mason feel unreal.
In his heart, it turned into four words: my brother-in-law is awesome!
At noon, the banquet officially began with Lachlan, Miranda, Nora and Mason as well as Matthias at one table. Also present were Raul and Sophie as elders of the family along with Savannah who was their genius girl.
Even ordinary elders of the Graham family didn't have a chance to sit at this table.
"I propose a toast! On behalf of the Graham family I would like to express our sincere thanks to Mr. Willis! Everything... goes without saying," said Matthias seriously after they started eating.
Everyone present stood up and raised their glasses towards Lachlan while high-level members of the Graham family also toasted him respectfully.
Lachlan calmly drank with everyone and then smiled at Raul, saying, "Mr. Graham and everyone, there's no need to be polite. To be honest, my life was saved by an ancient predecessor. If it weren't for Mr. Graham, I might have died at the hands of Hawkeye."
Lachlan never forgot his hatred, and he was even more grateful for favors. Although Raul acted with the consideration of the Graham family, he still saved Lachlan's life and bought him precious seven days of time. Lachlan remembered this.
Raul smiled with relief upon hearing Lachlan's words but waved his hand, saying, "Mr. Willis, your growth speed is truly astonishing! I'm afraid I'm no longer your match."
His admiration was sincere. Previously, when faced with the early Core Formation stage Hawkeye, Lachlan looked like he was about to be killed. But in just a short time, he swept through the Clan Grand Competition, even crushing opponents in the mid Core Formation stage. His growth speed was truly astonishing.
During the banquet, Lachlan and Matthias exchanged toasts, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
Matthias mentioned that the Noble Families Alliance had already allocated the cultivation resources to the Graham family as agreed, and Lachlan could take away thirty percent when he left today.
In addition, the Graham family had prepared some spiritual jade and long-lasting medicinal herbs as gifts for Lachlan. As Matthias put it, the previous conditions were just conditions, and the gifts were expressions of gratitude.
Lachlan didn't refuse because the people around him also needed these cultivation resources. Not to mention Nora and Miranda, even his brother-in-law and subordinates like Emerson and Makhi, as well as the personnel from the security company, could make use of them.
However, another kind of atmosphere lingered throughout the meal.
Savannah frequently cast glances at Lachlan at the dining table, and the meaning behind those glances was obvious. At the same time, she occasionally scrutinized Miranda, her thoughts unclear.
