Translator: 549690339

All members of the Cooper family harbored resentment in their hearts, wishing that David Herb would appear immediately and help them regain their prestige.

After listening to everyone’s persuasions, Maddox’s emotions had also slightly pacified.

“Alright! Let them gloat a little more! Once Mr. Herb arrives, I want to show them the true might of the Cooper family! ” Maddox said with a determined glare towards White Mitchell, his expression akin to a raging fury.

Indeed, they had to show them the might of the Cooper family!

The members of the Cooper family gritted their teeth angrily as they looked at White Mitchell’s table, wishing they could swallow him whole right then and there.

Meanwhile, the guests who had come to attend the banquet were all getting restless, like ants on a hot pan.

For them, although it was indeed true that David Herb was backing the Cooper family, they, however, did not have such support.

The fact that the Cooper family dared to offend Longman and Amanda did not mean that they could afford to do so.

Thus, at this moment, they were all deliberately or unintentionally avoiding David Herb’s gaze, unconsciously maintaining a distance from the Cooper family members, ensuring that they would not attract the attention of Longman and Amanda.

“Fuck! They are all fickle! Do they actually think that our Cooper family has fallen? They’re all anxiously trying to distance themselves from us!”

“Forget about it, they are all myopic. Wait till we gain the favor of David Herb, they’ll have their time to weep.”

“Bah! Bastards! When our Cooper family turns things around, and these opportunists try to curry favor with us again, I swear I’ll let them share the same fate as White Mitchell; I’ll mince them for the dogs!”

The members of the Cooper family were feeling indignant and their faces were filled with disdain.

Maddox sternly looked at the guests who were anxiously trying to dissociate themselves from the Cooper family, his eyes becoming cold.

“Ignore them. Hurry up and get ready; make sure the musicians and the people who fire the salute cannons are prepared. Mr. Herb should be arriving soon, and if anyone messes up, they will not be let off!” Maddox ordered.

The members of the Cooper family all nodded their heads, and a few responsible for the arrangements hurriedly went to check, ensuring that nothing would go wrong.

Afterwards, everyone fell silent, and an oppressive atmosphere slowly began to spread, quickly enveloping the entire Cooper family in brooding clouds.

The scene was deathly silent, much like the calm before a storm, and the Cooper family, as the hosts, seemed to be brewing up a torrential downpour.

Finally, as time slowly ticked by, a Rolls Royce Phantom, bearing the license plate ‘88888’, appeared at the entrance of the Cooper family’s compound. The car was undoubtedly a luxury vehicle, but at this moment, everyone’s attention was focused on the number plate.

‘88888’, a unique license plate in all of Sayon, undoubtedly belonged to David Herb’s personal car!

David Herb had finally arrived!

At this moment, all of the guests couldn’t help but reveal expressions of envy.

David Herb, the only figure in Sayon who could be deemed as top-class nobility, stood at the pinnacle of Sayon’s pyramid of power!

He was someone that countless people in Sayon dreamed of currying favor with. Simply seeing him once would be a great fortune in their lives.

If they could gain his recognition, even their ancestors’ graves would start smoking.

Thinking of this, everyone became excited, all hoping that David Herb would notice them.

This feeling was just like the scene when the emperor was selecting his concubines in ancient times. David Herb was the emperor and they, the guests, were the concubines waiting to be favored.

Everyone was eagerly anticipating David Herb’s arrival.

At this moment, the Cooper family looked as if their noses were in the air, their spirits boosted, and exuding an atmosphere of arrogance and pride.

They looked disdainfully at the guests who were previously in a hurry to distance themselves, as if saying: you see, this is David Herb, he’s here to back us Cooper family up, do you regret it now? Too late!

In the face of the disdainful gaze of the Cooper family, many guests couldn’t help but give bitter smiles.

They had no other choice; they couldn’t afford to offend either party and could only behave this way.

As for Maddox, he simply ignored the dilemma these people faced. He only knew that when the Cooper family would rise to prominence, it would be a day of misfortune for these people!

“Bring me the musicians, start the music, fire the cannons…”

Maddox took a deep breath. This moment was crucial for both him and the Cooper family!

Whether the Cooper family could rise to prominence, whether they could leverage David Herb’s influence to gain further power, would all depend on this moment!

Seeing Maddox’s serious demeanor, all direct members of the Cooper family also began to tense up.

“Everyone, follow me to welcome Mr. Herb!”

Maddox raised his arm, rallying the spirits of the Cooper family members.

Confident smiles appeared on their faces as they strode towards the entrance.

Just as the members of the Cooper family were getting haughty, Longman, who was sitting next to White Mitchell, couldn’t help but laugh: “Heh heh, Old Herb sure knows how to put on a show, I didn’t think he was this good at acting.”

Huh?

Mori Jones, who was sitting next to White Mitchell, was taken aback. An look of disbelief appeared on her pretty face, and she fixed her stare on White Mitchell, who was looking indifferent.

On the other hand, Maddox, leading the direct members of the Cooper family, had already reached the entrance, presenting quite a grand welcome.

The orchestra was playing lively music, and the salute cannons were continuously firing around them.

The scene was one of jubilation; anyone who didn’t know better would think the Coopers were welcoming some important leader.

“Welcome, welcome, Mr. Herb, thank you for coming, your presence really…” Maddox approached David Herb with enthusiasm.

However, just as he got close to David Herb, he noticed that something was amiss with David Herb’s expression.

David Herb was looking at the orchestra and the Coopers firing the salute cannons with distaste, saying discontentedly: “What is this? A circus? Get rid of it all!”

Upon hearing this, Maddox quickly instructed his subordinates to stop. Once the orchestra and salute cannons were dismissed, peace was finally restored at the scene.

Maddox kept a close eye on David Herb’s expression, fearful of any further dissatisfaction.

Fortunately, once those men were dismissed, David Herb’s expression returned to normal.

Seeing this, Maddox breathed a sigh of relief. The heavy boulder weighing on his heart had finally been lifted.

“Mr. Herb, if you please, we have prepared the finest Maotai liquor for you inside.” Maddox invited confidently.

“Alright, lead the way.”

Upon hearing David Herb’s words, the morale of the Cooper family soared even higher. The gloom that had been lurking was swept away, and their spirits were like a tiger’s!

Looking at their proud faces, it was as if they were declaring to everyone: “Do you see? David Herb is our esteemed guest!”

“Just awhile ago, you were ignoring us. Now, our Cooper family is beyond your reach!”

“It’s finally our turn, the Cooper family, to raise our eyebrows in pride.. What is a White Mitchell, a Longman, an Amanda, they are all worthless!”
