"Skyler Celestino?"
"One hundred and seventy-eight billion bucks?"
The crowd present at the scene was completely dumbfounded. Terror streaked through the space. These two pieces of information were overly shocking.
"Are you sure you heard it right? Skyler Celestino? Doesn’t this name belong to Skyler, the King of War? That's the eightstar King of War!"
The elder was paralyzed to the spot, the terrifying surprise holding him in a tightening grip. He only managed to regain his words after a few minutes.
"There's only one King of War with the name Skyler Celestino!
The middle-aged woman had a blank look i n her eyes as though she was dwelling in a haze of confusion, yet to recover from the news.
"If it really was Skyler Celestino, the King o f War, why did he give Fane so much money? More than a hundred seventy billion bucks! Are you sure you heard the number correctly? Why did he give that b* stard so much money?”
The sudden shock caused Hector's muscles to tense up. Only prominent families could produce that amount of money after they had sold all their properties.
Nobody at the scene could understand why a King of War-an eight-star King of War-would give so much money to an adopted son-in-law.
The elder suddenly thought of something and immediately rushed into the house. He took a poster and ran out again. He breathed out heavily, "Master Hector, look! Look at the poster! That brat promised to make his wife’s birthday the grandest event that would shake the entire Middle province. Could he have borrowed money from the King of War so that he could host the greatest birthday party for his wife?"
