Everyone was expecting to see Fane make a fool of himself when suddenly, the six-starred War King arrived to celebrate Old Master Taylor's seventieth birthday.
"What! Quin Hayes is here!"
"You shouldn't call him by his name, you should address him as War King Hayes. Otherwise, he can slap you to death if he finds you disrespectful!"
"My god, he's the War King... A SIX-STARRED War King! What is he doing here at this function? This...is our honor!"
The Taylor family’s relatives started a discussion among themselves and they were obviously astonished.
"War King Hayes presents a gift in cash worth sixty million!" the man who was in charge of reception and gifts announced.
"Haha! I really didn't know what's a suitable gift to get and I’m not familiar with your hobbies. So I decided to give you cash, that way, you can spend it to your heart's content!" Quin walked forward as he laughed out loud. He seemed like a cheerful man.
"War King Hayes, you're... You're too courteous. It's our honor to serve you as a guest, as we know you seldom attend functions even when you’re being invited. Your
presence here is a great honor, you need not prepare m e any gifts. You're too generous!"
Zeus was so touched and surprised to have received such a guest. It was out of his expectation to have received three marshals in the event-what more, a six -starred war king?
"Sixty million?! That's such a generous gift!" Some wealthy merchants lamented. Why would the war king waste his money like that?
