Since Nathan was not in a hurry to Mayberry, he went to Channing with Penny and the others.
As they walked out of the airport that afternoon, a group of men in suits emerged.
"Quick!"
"Quick! Welcome Ms. Smith!”
About a hundred men in suits gathered swiftly at the airport entrance and organized themselves into a neat welcome parade.
Nathan and Penny had no idea what was going on.
Just then, a bookish and noble-looking man appeared in front of the parade. He wore a light yellow vest with a white shirt beneath it and gold-rimmed glasses.
He was exceptionally handsome. His sharp eyes were piercing, and his pursed lips seemed to be smiling.
The man's gaze followed Penny fixedly with delight and anticipation. It was as if Penny was the only person left in the world.
He commanded, "Welcome back, Ms. Smith!”
Instantly, his trained subordinates echoed synchronously, "Welcome back, Ms.
Smith!”
Shocked by those men's imposing manner, everyone looked at Penny and discussed her identity curiously among themselves.
Who is she? This grand welcome is so exaggerating!
Penny frowned when she saw the grand welcome parade. Who is this man with gold-rimmed glasses? Why is he doing this?
Benson, Leah, and Kylie were also astounded. What's going on?
Even Nathan was slightly frowning. He noticed that despite the man with gold-rimmed glasses emitted a bookish aura, the way he stared at Penny was so lustful as if he were a hungry predator looking at its prey.
Confused, Penny stared at the man with gold-rimmed glasses and asked politely, "Hello, who are you?”
The man smiled vaguely, "Hi! Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Fip Harbor, one of the Harbors in Mayberry. I'm the current vice president of the Elite Club."
The Harbor family in Mayberry, The East!
The Harbor family was one of the most prominent families in The East. Boris Tucker, one of the Nine Great Cabinet Members, married a Harbor.
