"Huh, honey?" Catherine looked at her husband curiously. "Is this General really that powerful?" "Tsk! Catherine, I've told you countless times. Spend less time shopping and pay more attention to current affairs," Victor shook his head helplessly. "You have no idea what kind of existence the Legendary Warlord is." His expression gradually turned solemn. Even Grandfather Blackwell unconsciously straightened his back. Everyone present had heard the name before. But hearing Victor speak about him still made their hearts stir. "You should know that Meridian wasn't always peaceful," his voice grew deeper. "Several years ago, our borders were under constant attack. Powerful enemy nations joined forces and tried to divide Meridian apart." "The entire country was thrown into chaos. Businesses collapsed, cities fell, and countless people fled their homes." His eyes shone with admiration as he recalled that moment. "At that time, every military expert predicted Meridian's defea

"How could there be a Diamond Tier Invitation?" One spectator stood frozen. His voice trembled slightly."I thought the Gold Tier was already the highest level."The elderly man who had recognized Samuel Ford squinted. His gaze remained fixed on the invitation card.After a long pause, he slowly spoke. "Because very few people are qualified to know it exists."The surrounding crowd immediately turned toward him.The old man inhaled deeply. "Above Gold Tier..." His voice lowered. "There is the Diamond Tier. And only three were ever created."The crowd gasped. The old man continued solemnly. "They are not for sale. They cannot be bought. And they are not issued to ordinary guests."His eyes swept across the hall. "They were specially reserved for Cartier's most distinguished VIPs."BOOM!The revelation exploded like thunder. Everyone looked at the invitation card again.Their eyes filled with shock, envy, and even disbelief."Pfft!" Catherine rolled her eyes dramatically. "What disting

"You—! Who are you calling clowns?!" Catherine pointed furiously at Veyron. Her face was red with anger."Look at this shameless fool! You brought a fake invitation card to Cartier and still dare call us clowns?" She laughed mockingly."Tell me. Are you really not afraid of being dragged out?"Veyron merely glanced at her. His gaze slowly moved from her heavily powdered face to the ridiculous wig sitting on her head.A long wig, but a short brain. What an interesting combination.For a moment, he genuinely wondered how someone this foolish and narrow-minded had survived for so many years.However, seeing his silence, Catherine became even more arrogant."What? Cat got your tongue? Or are you finally feeling guilty?"Her voice deliberately rose several levels. "Everyone come and take a look! This man brought a fake invitation card to Cartier!"Instantly, countless heads turned. The nearby guests slowed their steps and gathered around."What? A fake invitation? No way.""This man has re

Veyron paused slightly. His icy green eyes landed on Iris. And for the first time in a long while, his expression became somewhat complicated.He truly hadn't expected her to stand in front of everyone and defend him like that.Even when the entire crowd mocked him. Even when she herself doubted him. Yet she still chose him.For a brief moment... the famed Legendary Warlord actually lost composure.Then his gaze softened slightly and he gently patted her shoulder."Don't worry." His voice was low and calm. "There won't be any problem.""No problem?!" Catherine exploded. She pointed angrily at her swollen cheek."You bastard, have you lost your goddamn mind?! You slapped me in front of everyone and still dare say nothing happened?"Her face twisted viciously. "Do you know where you are standing?!"Victor immediately pulled her back. "Honey, don't waste your breath on trash like him."His eyes were filled with malicious delight."Since he wants to die..." He sneered coldly. "Let's fulfi

"Honey... what exactly is happening?" Catherine tugged anxiously at her husband's sleeve. Her eyes were wide with disbelief."Isn't Veyron's invitation card fake?""I thought so too!" Victor nodded vigorously. His face was full of confusion."Then why is Director Benjamin kneeling before him? Dad?"Even Grandfather Blackwell's expression had become ugly. The old man gripped his golden-tipped cane tightly."Damn it!" His wrinkled face twitched. "How should I know?"For the first time since arriving, he felt things slipping beyond his control. The surrounding guests were equally confused.No matter how they thought about it, none of them could understand why a senior executive of Cartier would kneel before an ex-convict.The scene simply made no sense.Yet while everyone else was shocked... Veyron remained completely calm.As though none of this was worth mentioning.His hands rested casually in his pockets. The faint smile on his face never changed."Veyron..." Iris looked at him quiet
