Salute to the General novel Chapter 573

Night fell and the city lights blinked to life.

All kinds of official cars, commercial cars, and luxury cars appeared at the parking lot in front of the White Swan hotel.

The mayor of Channing, Russell Crow, as well as Jerry Mcgrady and many other leaders had arrived.

The wealthy figures in Channing, such as Zachary Schulz and Derek Harvey had also made an appearance.

Representatives from Channing's upper socialite families had also made it to the banquet.

The overlord of Channing's underground world, Thomas Dunn, had also brought along Jack Green and a small group of men with him.

Other than the powerful figures from the military, all the other important people in Channing had already arrived.

In the White Swan hotel, hundreds of well-dressed big shots stood in either groups of two or three, whispering among themselves.

Everyone was very curious as to why the Lunds from the East had sent invitations to them asking them to attend a banquet.

"Mr. Lund is here!" Someone abruptly exclaimed.

Then, a young man in a white suit with a group of men trailing after him appeared in the hotel lobby. It was Joey Lund.

Joey smiled and waved towards the crowd that had gathered while murmuring under his breath to his subordinate, Black Dragon, “Have all the important figures in Channing arrived?"

Black Dragon whispered back his report, "Major-General Wilson was reported to have gone to Brimmopolis for a meeting and most probably can't make it. Nathan Cross and Penny Smith of the Cross Group are not present as well. The rest of them have all arrived."

Joey felt that it wasn't surprising that Major-General Wilson couldn't make it since he had gone to Brimmopolis for a meeting.

However, Nathan Cross and Penny Smith of the Cross Group not attending was a direct insult to him and his family.

Joey snorted indignantly and said, "We'll settle scores with Nathan Cross and Penny Smith after this!"

Joey then went onto the stage. He swept a gaze full of arrogance at the crowd below him before speaking, "Good evening everyone. My name is Joey Lund, and I represent the Lund family from the East, as well as the Eastern Chamber of

Commerce."

Everyone listened attentively as he continued, "I called everyone here tonight with only one purpose in mind. Our family will be investing in Channing in the future, so we want to get well acquainted with all of Channing's powerful figures. If all of you are willing to connect with us and offer up your contributions for further expansion, we can promise you that only benefits will await us in the future."

Everyone present showed skeptical expressions upon hearing Joey's words.
