At the crack of dawn, Greenfield Mountain burst to life.
Both the simple and exquisite buildings were decorated jubilantly. The long mountain road was covered with a layer of red carpet, stretching from the mountainside to the foot of the mountain, like a red waterfall flowing down the mountain.
The foot of the mountain was packed with guests.
One by one, they arrived in luxury cars bearing gifts in their hands. They all stood waiting at the entrance of the mountain road with smiles on their faces.
When the time came, the Guo family's disciples guarding the entrance of the mountain path ushered the guests in, checking their invitations one by one.
Anyone familiar with Greenfield City was amazed. All the fawning, bowing guests were bigshots of the city.
Occasionally, the Guo family's disciples would walk down the mountain path and welcome certain guests with smiles on their faces.
These were honored guests personally invited by the Guo family. They warranted special treatment.
Just like that, the place was bustling with activity. It would take a few hours just to usher the guests up the mountain.
At the top of the mountain, in the main hall of the Guo family home, Zeward and Zesiah were entertaining the guests.
However, the man of the hour, Maurice, Master Guo, stayed in the backyard away from the action. Only his old friend, Hosea, sat next to him.
Hosea spoke up first, ’’Maurice, how's the investigation going?"
A look flashed across Maurice's face. "I sent them out yesterday. We'll get a report before the morning is over; noon at latest."
"Monash... Did Fade really kill him?" Hosea asked.
Maurice's expression darkened, and he gnashed his teeth with hatred. "It must be him. This has been confirmed. It can't be anyone else."
Just then, there was a knock on the door. "Dad, it's about time. The guests are all here."
Maurice recognized his eldest son, Zeward. He got up and went out.
Zeward stood respectfully at the door. When he saw his father and Hosea come out, he bowed respectfully again and said, "Greetings, Dad. Greetings, Master Liu."
"Hello, Zeward." Hosea looked at his son and comforted him, "We'll definitely take care of Monash's matter."
Maurice took on a serious tone. "Whoever dares to hurt my grandson, I will make him pay."
"Dad..." Zeward said with tears in his eyes.
Maurice glanced at his eldest son. "There, there. Don't cry. Let's go out to entertain our
guests."
When Maurice made his appearance, the crowd burst to life. Everyone toasted and laughed. It was a very lively scene.
At 11 o'clock in the morning, the birthday banquet was set up and the guests took their seats. The party had entered its most important phase - the gifts!
Maurice sat on an antique wooden armchair. One by one, the guests reported their names, presented their gifts, and wished him a happy birthday.
It was not just a competition of wealth and relationships but also an opportunity to figuratively kiss the ring.
After all, given the Guo family's strength, everyone wanted to be in their good books.
First in line was a slightly pudgy, middle-aged man.
