Edward could only avoid the question, trying his best to limit his interaction with Duncan. He knew both James and Ryan MacCoinnich disliked Duncan. Although he didn't understand the reason why Duncan was able to walk alongside Carlo, he had a premonition that Duncan might not be as simple as he had previously thought.

Watching the look Duncan shot his way, Carlo was struck by a very bad premonition. He realized that Michael, who was usually not this talkative, was currently driving people into a corner with his silver tongue. It seemed he would need to have a word with Michael after the party.Meanwhile, Nicholas also felt himself paling in comparison to the man standing before him."Sir Royce, is it? The title of General is not just an empty name. Let us schedule a meeting for the near future," Nicholas said, looking for an excuse.Duncan knew they wouldn't dare accept Michael’s invitation. To accept was to walk straight into a trap. But he intended to force them into it anyway."Is it business, or is it fear?" Luca spoke up, his gaze piercing through Nicholas.

Despite his resentment, Ryan MacCoinnich could only remain silent. He finally realized that while Duncan might not have a formal title, he was acquainted with those who did.Ryan felt as if he had been blind. Recalling the shooting incident from the other day, had he known the identity of his opponent then, he would have undoubtedly brought gifts to apologize."Well now... the one who acts is the one who bears the consequences. Wouldn't you agree?""If you want me to let this go, that's fine. Have this MacCoinnich young master here apologize to me."Michael tilted his chin up arrogantly, wanting these people to understand what it felt like to be crushed by someone else.James MacCoinnich frowned at Michael, then at Ryan. He h

It seemed all attention had shifted toward Luca and Michael, completely forgetting that the purpose of tonight’s party was for Nicholas."Young Master Vaughn, it’s been a long time. Have you forgotten me?" Luca asked, still maintaining his impressive aura.He stepped inside with confidence, greeting everyone politely, while Michael stood beside him, adopting the posture of a superior looking down upon his subjects."Luca, what are you saying? You disappeared so suddenly; I was too worried to even think about forgetting you."Jake Vaughn quickly flashed his standard smile."Allow me to make an introduction.""This is Sir Royce. My recent disappearance was due to working

"As you can see. I'm fine."Edward could only avoid the question, trying his best to limit his interaction with Duncan. He knew both James and Ryan MacCoinnich disliked Duncan. Although he didn't understand the reason why Duncan was able to walk alongside Carlo, he had a premonition that Duncan might not be as simple as he had previously thought."Hmph, so you're acquaintances. Figures. Edward over here certainly knows how to find a 'good spot' to perch. But you? Tsk tsk...""Edward, look closely. Is the MacCoinnich family better, or is this guy? Take a good look."James looked at Duncan with contempt before glancing at Edward. He wanted to prove just how valuable he and the MacCoinnich family were, and that even if Duncan walked beside Carlo, he would never truly be som
Chapter 125 - Just a Little Joke
The evening guests had all gathered early, and Ryan MacCoinnich soon arrived with James MacCoinnich.Ryan was still uneasy about James's attitude, so he had quickly summoned Edward. After all, within the circles of the elite and the world of bilateral social relations, Edward was considered quite talented. James still needed Edward’s assistance."Edward, stay close to James. Help him navigate the social interactions with everyone.""And you," Ryan turned to James, "you should listen to Edward. This is not the place for you to show off your arrogance."Even after being humiliated by Michael in front of everyone, James’s temperament hadn't softened. On the contrary, he still maintained an air of total disregard for others.

Soon, Duncan saw that Luca and Michael had finished their preparations."Let’s go."Carlo and Duncan headed in one direction, while Michael and Luca took another. Their destination, however, was the same: tonight’s banquet.Meanwhile, after a full day and night of indulgence, Nicholas was feeling immensely satisfied, having experienced what it felt like to be a true king. Unfortunately, a slight complication had arisen at the last moment, which led to Anna Templeton being taken away. He had ended up finding a girl from a nightclub to satisfy his urges before returning, using the Vaughn family’s black card to pay for his sordid activities."Nicholas, I told you that you had to be present this morning."The ma
