The War God's Homecoming novel Chapter 493

Chapter 493 Should I Just Eliminate Him?

"Beatrice, why didn't you choose a five-star hotel? Is this place hygienic?" Maurice Higgins glanced at the farmhouse and furrowed his brow slightly.

"Haha, Mr Higgins, please rest assured." Zeph Knight replied with a smile. "This place is one of the top choices for receiving important guests from various departments in Ozin City. Its standards are higher than those of five-star hotels in every aspect, and the scenery here is something that five-star hotels can't match."

"Who are you?" Maurice Higgins asked with a hint of indifference.

"Mr and Mrs Higgins, and Maurice, let me introduce. This is my grandfather, and this is my father." Beatrice pointed to Zeph Knight and Robert Knight, respectively.

"Grandpa, Dad, this is Maurice and his parents." Beatrice turned to introduced them to Zeph and Robert.

"Mr and Mrs Higgins, welcome! Please, have a seat,." Zeph Knight extended his right hand and greeted Kennard Higgins and his wife.

"Hmm," Kennard shook Zeph 's hand, and then, with his wife, walked towards the farmhouse's interior.

"Maurice, let's go inside." Beatrice said, linking her arm with Maurice's.

"Beatrice, tell your family to be on their best behavior. My parents came here today to see what your family is like." Maurice turned to Beatrice and said.

"Don't worry, Maurice. I've already told my family. They won't disappoint your parents."

Beatrice had worked hard for the past two or three months to hook such a big fish. She had used all her tricks to arrange this meeting between both sets of parents. If everything went smoothly today, she might just step into the world of the elite. The Higgins family was a prominent clan in the capital, much stronger than those so-called big families in Ozin. It absolutely met her expectations of marrying into an aristocratic family.

"Hope so!" Maurice nodded, then walked into the farmhouse with Beatrice, followed by five men in black closely.

As soon as the group arrived at the banquet hall on the farm, Zeph, Robert and Beatrice led the other family of three to the main table. The five men in black stood a few meters behind Kennard Higgins and his family, like human spears.

"Mr Knight, I heard from Maurice that your family is in business in Ozin. I wonder how the business is doing now?" Thalia Higgins sipped her tea and asked Zeph casually.

"It is just a small workshop, not worth mentioning." Zeph replied with a smile.

"How much revenue do you generate in a year?" Thalia continued to inquire.

"Last year's profits were passable, around 5 billion." Zeph replied with a wry smile.

Five billion, there was certainly some exaggeration in that figure. The actual revenue was probably around 3 billion. It was only because of the contract for the Ozin Tower that they received direct or indirect income of 1 billion. Otherwise, it wouldn't even reach 2 billion. Since securing the contract for the Ozin Tower, the Knight Group's brand had gained significant recognition, and several major distributors had stocked up on their products.

"Only 5 billion?" Thalia put down her tea cup and continued, "That's quite small, not even as good as the sales of one of our companies."

"That's right! The Higgins family is indeed a prominent clan in the capital, we are far behind." Zeph replied, feeling slightly embarrassed. After a brief pause, he changed the subject. "I heard that Maurice recently returned from studying abroad and has taken on the role of director at the Higgins Group? He's certainly a talented young man!"

"Mr Knight, let me be frank with you," Thalia continued after taking another sip of tea. "With my son's personal abilities and the resources of the Higgins family, his future development is bound to be smooth. Although he is currently in a relationship with Miss Knight, it doesn't mean they will definitely get married. We won't interfere too much in Maurice's romantic matters, but when it comes to marriage, we will certainly look out for his best interests."

"Although Miss Knight's qualifications are decent, there are hundreds of women who want to marry my son, many of whom are more outstanding than her in various aspects. So, it's unlikely that Maurice will get engaged to your granddaughter so quickly. They will need at least another two or three years to get to know each other better. We hope you can understand this."
