Chapter 341
It was unknown who said that, but the scene instantly exploded.
“Exactly. Do you think you’re hot stuff? The times are different. Sonia Timberland, it’s the end of the Timberlands.”
“Sonia, don’t you always think highly of yourself? Why did you come to Mr. Mitchell’s birthday banquet today? You look calm on the surface, but you must be trying to fawn over him in secret, right?”
“That’s right! Now, Simon–Tooke has the governor behind him, and apparently, even the captain of the Shadow Wolves will come. Sonia won’t dare to go against Simon–Tooke even if she was made of guts!”
“Hahaha…”
The ladies all cackled at those words. Their laughter was loud and arrogant. They were all Sean’s admirers.
However, their feelings were unrequited. Sean only liked Sonia and never even looked at ladies. like them in the past.
When Celestial Enterprise was established and absorbed the capital’s Crestfalls‘ and the Miller family’s assets, and got the Timberland family to also join forces, the ladies got even more jealous of Sonia since she was the leader of Celestial Enterprise.
In the end, at Celestial Enterprise’s opening ceremony, soldiers appeared and cleaned. people who came to cause trouble. News that Celestial Enterprise was involved with the military spread all over Sumeria.

the
The fame and power of the Timberland family and Sonia also reached their peak at that time.
These ladies could not match her at all and did not even have the mind to resist, much less show any displeasure on their faces.
Furthermore, there were some who contacted Sonia privately, hoping to rely on her to obtain
benefits.
Now…
The situation and roles were reversed.
The Timberland family, Sonia, and Celestial Enterprise were in jeopardy.
On the other hand, Simon–Tooke was soaring and was on track to reigning supreme in Sumeria, and even the whole East River State.
Therefore, the ladies were thrilled. They spoke sinister and mocking words as soon as they caught Sonia.
“Sonia.”
Among the ladies was a girl called Bella Tremmell.
She used to dislike Sonia very much in the past, so she seized the opportunity to mock Sonia. ” It only takes one wrong move to end in total defeat. Your family joining Celestial Enterprise.
really was that wrong move. However…
“We’re all from Sumeria’s upper society, so we won’t just stand by and watch as you, the pearl of Sumeria, end up begging on the roadside. Why don’t I give you an idea?”
Just by looking at her expression, Sonia knew that Bella would not say anything good. She could not be bothered with her.
However, Sonia’s reaction made Bella even more smug. She looked at Sean next to her and said. teasingly, “Sonia, as long as you’re willing to be Mr. Sean’s lover… You have curves in all the right places, so you will certainly serve him well.”
Bella also felt a twinge of jealousy when she said this. However, that jealousy soon turned into boundless joy. “If Sean is happy… your family might still have food on your table!”
After saying that, she laughed loudly without regard for her image.
Even Sean laughed. His eyes narrowed slightly, obviously looking forward to it.
No matter how good Sonia’s self–restraint was, she could not help the trace of anger that appeared on her pretty face when she heard those words.
Andrius immediately snickered. He looked at the people in front of him and rolled his eyes. Do you really think that Simon–Tooke will soar just like that?
LL
“I have to say that you’re really blind. Can’t you see that Simon–Tooke will disappear soon?”
Andrius‘ words made these rich young masters and ladies stare blankly at first, then they started to laugh.
After a long time, they slowly came back to their senses one by one. “Where did this idiot come from? How dare you talk nonsense here?”
“Sonia, is your friend crazy? How dare he speak ill of Simon–Tooke like this? I’m telling you, you’d better rein him in well. I’m afraid he’ll die on the spot if Mr. Mitchell hears him!”
“It’s clear at a glance that this guy is an idiot. He doesn’t know sh*t but dares to talk nonsense here. He must have a death wish.”
“Forget it, don’t get worked up over an idiot…”

Led by Bella, the ladies all scoffed.
Sean also mocked, “Even the governor has to show respect and attend in person when Simon- Tooke hosts a birthday banquet. Who do you think you are? How dare you criticize Simon- Tooke?
“I might as well tell you now. The purpose of today’s banquet is to target Celestial Enterprise. Celestial Enterprise has already become the mark of public criticism. They’ll be erased after today!”
Andrius could not be bothered to talk with them and casually said, “Just wait and see.”
Then, Sonia and he walked into the hall.
Sean’s eyes were dark and greedy as he looked at Sonia’s graceful posture as she left. “Hmph. you when Even now, you still dare to put on airs in front of me. Watch and see how I deal with Celestial Enterprise falls!”
When he thought of Sonia’s exquisite and charming body at the mercy of his whims, Sean could not help but get excited. He already played out the scenario in his head a hundred times!
Andrius and Sonia walked to the middle of the large hall and were naturally seated at the
centermost table.
The rest of the guests were also present.
The large hall was full of excitement.
However, no one dared to come up and talk to Andrius and Sonia.
Everyone knew that the moment the banquet started would be the moment when Celestial Enterprise was sentenced to death. They naturally would invite trouble for themselves at a time like this.
As for joining forces with Simon–Tooke, a foreign–funded company…
There was no such thing.
Dean’s power already frightened everyone.
In their view, chewing and swallowing Celestial Enterprise up together with Simon–Tooke was more important.
It had to be said that this was what was sad about short–sighted capitalists. They had no integrity or backbone. Their short–sighted eyes could only see the small benefits in front of them.
Soon, the large hall was overcrowded and filled to capacity.
All the guests and dignitaries invited were present without a single one missing.
The seats were naturally arranged carefully. They were positioned in accordance to the dignitaries‘ status. The high–ranking people sat in the front, followed by the lower–ranking
ones behind.
Only Andrius and Sonia stood out. They sat at a table for two, exposed in front of everyone in

full view. They stuck out like sore thumbs.

“Phew…” Andrius was calm and smoked a military district cigarette, completely indifferent.
At a nearby table, a powerful man looked at Andrius and asked in confusion, “That cigar… Why do I feel like it’s the special cigarette that’s supplied to the military district?”
“Are you daft? Can he afford to smoke the special cigarettes from the military district?”
“Exactly. Those cigarettes are only supplied internally to the regional big shots of the military. The supply doesn’t even meet the demand. How would someone like him be able to smoke those cigarettes?”
“Did you get drunk even before you started drinking?”
“Why are you so confused now?”
Everyone scolded him on the spot.
The man winced and could only smile sheepishly, not daring to say another word.
At that point, only the table next to Andrius was left empty.
It was also in the center of the hall. It was specially reserved for the governor, the captain of the Shadow Wolves, and some other important people.

Swoosh!
Amid the noise, Dean slowly walked into the large hall in a fancy tuxedo.
He was very unused to this tuxedo.
However, in front of the governor and the captain of the Shadow Wolves, he had to pay attention to his appearance and be mindful of the details.
“Ladies and gentlemen…”
As soon as Dean opened his mouth, everyone fell silent out of respect.
“I, Dean Mitchell, welcome the many dignitaries of the East River State to join me and celebrate my 60th birthday. I am deeply honored. Thank you all.”
As he spoke, he bowed to everyone. This was the Florencian etiquette he especially learned just so he could make a good impression on the Wolf King.
Clap, clap, clap!
Thunderous applause immediately sounded below. The noise was deafening.
After a long time, the applause slowly stopped.
Dean smiled, looked at the entrance, and said in a clear voice, “Now, please welcome our esteemed guests of this banquet!”
They were here!
The many dignitaries immediately looked solemn and expectant.
“The secretary of Sumeria’s military development team, Mr. Terrence Bright!”
Hiss.
As soon as that name was called, no one could remain calm.
Although the development department seemed to be a far cry from the governor, he was still one of the top 20 bigwigs in Sumeria’s military district!
The most frightening thing was that he was the first one to come in.
That meant…
The heavyweights that came after were more powerful than him.
“The culture and management deputy head of Sumeria’s military, Mr. Allen Kelly!”
Wow!
The dignitaries could not help but widen their eyes when they heard that name.
The culture and management deputy head of Sumeria’s military was also one of the top 20 bigshots. His status could not be underestimated.
“The deputy head of Sumeria’s military logistic management and coordination, Mr. Kelvin
Stanton!”
Oh my God!
This time, many people were deeply shocked.
This person was in charge of all the logistics activities in Sumeria’s military district. It was inconceivable how powerful he was!
It was amazing. It was simply amazing.
“Next, my godson.” Dean looked around and slowly said, “The president of the Martyrs‘ Society in Sumeria, Cloud Forger!”
After saying that, he smiled at everyone.
Everyone was already stupefied and shocked. They were numb. They were completely numb.
The president of the Martyrs‘ Society turned out to be Dean’s godson…
It was no wonder Dean was so powerful.
It was no wonder the governor would show him respect.
It was no wonder the Wolf King also took a fancy to him.
With such connections and background, it was only natural that Simon–Tooke was powerful!
Celestial Enterprise and the Timberland family were just seeking their own deaths by going against Simon–Tooke!
As Cloud finally walked in, all eyes fell on Andrius and Sonia. They were all curious.
What kind of amazing reaction would these two people have in the face of the storm that was coming up?
Would they brown–nose and be sycophantic?
Would they bend and scrape to curry favor?
Or would they pee their pants?
It was exciting just thinking about it!
Chapter 344
However, to everyone’s displeasure, Andrius continued to smoke his cigarette, and Sonia continued to drink her tea.
It was as if they were not involved in the matter. They looked completely indifferent and aloof.
“Damn it. Go on and continue pretending.”
“The calmer their faces look, the more scared they are in their hearts!”
“They’re still acting. I don’t believe that they’ll be able to continue acting when the governor shows up!”
Many people were furious.
They could not help but whisper to one another, their words full of slander against Sonia and Andrius.
In their view, Sonia and Andrius‘ indifference was simply disrespect for the big figures in the military district and the Wolf King.
As Cloud sat down, there were only three seats left on the center table.
One was reserved for the governor, and the other two were reserved for the captain of the Shadow Wolves and the Wolf King who may or may not come.
All the people’s attention also averted away from Sonia and Andrius.
After all, who would care about the two of them?
“Next…”
As Dean shouted, all the dignitaries held their breaths in anticipation. They all knew that the governor of Sumeria was coming. They had to rouse their spirits and leave a good impression.
Some ladies also took the chance to quickly take out their compacts and touch up their makeup in an attempt to attract the governor’s attention with their beauty.
“Please welcome the governor of Sumeria, Mr. Severus Sano!”
Rumble-
The scene immediately thundered with applause.
It was like thunder and heavy waves.
The applause stretched on for a long time.
Swoosh….
The next moment, a tall figure appeared at the gate.
Everyone was surprisingly in–tune and stopped clapping in unison. One by one, their eyes which were full of energy and light fell on that figure.
What majesty.
What a grand appearance.
What unparalleled power.
Although most people could only see his side profile, under the eyes of the public and the bright spotlight, Severus was so dazzling at the moment that it was as if he was emitting his own aura, making people not dare to stare at him.
Hiss-
Everyone could not help but scream in their hearts.
He was so cool and domineering. Just one look from him could dazzle the world.
With just a casual glance, all the dignitaries submitted and revered him like a god.
Without exception, all the ladies‘ thoughts started to run wild as their eyes sparkled.
Who would not love the governor?
In terms of looks, he was so handsome that he put pop idols to shame!
In terms of status, he had absolute power in Sumeria. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he had no equal!
In terms of strength, was the position of governor just an empty name? The title had been baptized by blood and fire. There was no room for doubt at all!
“I’ll bring honor to all my ancestors if I can marry the governor.”
“If I marry the governor, I’ll stand above everyone else. No one will dare to bully me again.”
“If I marry the governor, I can enjoy endless splendor and romance as his wife. I really look forward to it…”
The countless ladies seemed to temporarily lose their mental faculties for some time.
They were infatuated!
They were stunned!
They were shocked!
One by one, they hoped, fantasized, and dreamed that Severus would take a fancy to them. Then, they would get back at their enemies and embark on the path to the peak of their lives.
The dignitaries present remembered Sonia and Andrius, who had been putting on an act earlier.
Now, the governor had arrived!
Would those two still dare to put on airs with him around?
Everyone turned to look at Sonia and Andrius in disdain and contempt. They all hoped to see what they imagined. They wanted to see the two frightened out of their wits to the point of being unable to breathe. They wanted to see the two bury their heads under the sand like ostriches.
Chapter 345
However, what surprised everyone was that Andrius and Sonia still had straight faces.
It was as if nothing in the world mattered to them!
One should follow their heart in all matters!
What on earth was happening?
The dignitaries could not figure it out at all.
How could Andrius and Sonia not be timid when faced with the governor?
Were they just crazy and did not understand the governor’s strength?
That was not it either!
With Sonia’s shrewdness, it was impossible for her not to know what the governor signified. They were dumbfounded and puzzled.
Many dignitaries shook their heads and looked away again because the governor had entered the large hall and arrived at the center table.
He was the only spotlight in the large hall at the moment!
As for Sonia and Andrius, they would become history when the banquet was over. There was no need to pay attention to the thoughts of people who were going to die.
“Mr. Sano!”
With a big smile on his face, Dean took out a large brocade box from the side and respectfully presented it to Severus.
“These are some treasures I brought from the other side of the ocean. Please accept them, Mr. Sano.”
Tsk.
Many dignitaries secretly clicked their tongues.
As today’s lead character, almost all the East River State’s dignitaries tried to curry favor with Dean. They all hoped to have a good relationship with him.
Then, they would use him as a bridge to get connected with the governor and the Wolf King. Therefore, every dignitary brought sincere gifts to Dean.
However, it seemed there was a limit to how impressive Dean was. In front of Severus, he had no choice but to put away his pride and hand Severus a gift in front of all the dignitaries.
Of course, this was not just a simple act of giving a gift. It was him showing his sincerity to Severus and trying to pull the latter to his side.
Severus glanced at the luxurious brocade box. He did not refuse it, but he did not reach out to take it either.
A strange smile surfaced at the corner of his mouth, and he said meaningfully, “Mr. Mitchell, today is your 60th birthday. You’re the main character today. It’ll be inappropriate for me if I
come here and accept a gift.
“Besides that, following the etiquette of Florence, I have also prepared a generous gift for you.”
A birthday gift from the governor!
The eyes of the dignitaries present seemed to burn.
“Gulp!”
“Gulp!”
“Gulp!”
Many people gulped down their saliva on the spot.
The governor had already shown enough respect by attending the banquet. However, he even came with a generous gift. The significance of this was heavier than a mountain!
Dean was overwhelmed and smiled from ear to ear. He asked with anticipation, “What is the gift, Mr. Sano?”
Severus looked at him, and the smile at the corners of his mouth became even more profound. “I invited the Wolf King.”
The Wolf King!
Severus‘ words were like a thunderclap in the middle of clear skies!
All the dignitaries present were instantly shaken and dizzy.
Who was the Wolf King?
He was the man who stood at the top of Florence and even the whole world. He was no longer a mere individual.
He was a symbol.
He was a faith.
He was the backbone of Florence.
He was the great wall that had endured for thousands of years and never fell!
Swoosh!
At that moment, all the guests stood up. Their expressions were solemn while their eyes glittered. They all looked in the direction of the entrance, wanting to give the Wolf King the highest form of respect.
To dare to remain sitting at a time like this was a great disrespect to the Wolf King. It was an unforgivable sin!
Everyone stood up except for Sonia and Andrius.
Of course, obviously, no one was paying attention to them.
“The Wolf King…” Dean was so excited that his heart was pounding. He immediately said, ‘ Since the Wolf King is coming in person, we should go out to greet him or we’ll be too rude!”
After saying that, Dean prepared to lead Cloud, Terrence, Allen, and the others out to receive.

the Wolf King.
“No need.” Severus stood there motionlessly. The strange smile on his mouth deepened. “The Wolf King arrived long ago.”

The Wolf King had already arrived?
This news came from the governor’s mouth, so it naturally could not be false.
In an instant, all the dignitaries present looked around one by one, trying to identify the Wolf King and see if they had the honor to sit at the same table with him.
Another step.
“Why?! Why isn’t the Wolf King at our table?!”
“What a shame. What a shame…”
