    Trantor: 549690339


    The Cooper family was full of exuberance, their joy bubbled up to the point of bursting from their noses.


    Maddox was beaming, he turned to his guests and said, “I apologize for the wait, but I assure you, it was well worth.


    Thank you all for gracing my birthday feast. I hope everyone will enjoy themselves tonight and have their fill — no one leaves sober.”


    Maddox could hardly contain his manly vigour at the moment, it was as if he was standing on cloud nine, looking down upon the world below.


    Then, Maddox called to his servants, “Come on, open the banquet, bring the fine wine and dishes quickly!”


    As his voice fell, all of the Cooper family’s servantsunched into action.


    However, at this moment, David Herb, who had been silent since he entered, looked at Maddox quizzically and asked, “Start the banquet? What banquet?” Hmm?


    Maddox’s smile froze on his face as he heard this, and he looked at David Herb, perplexed.


    “Mr… Mr. Herb, what is…?” Maddox looked confused.


    Not just him, the rest of the Cooper family also revealed expressions of confusion upon hearing David Herb’s words, struggling toprehend. “Why would we start without Mr. Mitchell seated?” David Herb said seriously.


    Mr. Mitchell?


    At the mention of these three words, the members of the Cooper family were instantly frozen in ce, their gaze involuntarily directed towards White Mitchell.


    Maddox’s face instantly turned pale, a gloomy cloud overshadowed his face, he asked tentatively, “Mr. Herb, the Mr. Mitchell you’re referring to is…?”


    David Herb’s face darkened and he shot Maddox a look as if he was a fool. He immediately turned around and walked towards White Mitchell.


    This!!!


    Upon seeing this, the members of the Cooper family felt as though they had been struck by lightning, they stood rooted to the spot, disbelief shing in their eyes.


    Meanwhile, David Herb had arrived at White Mitchell’s side and solemnly said to the members of the Cooper family, “If Mr. Mitchell isn’t seated, which one of you dares to start the banquet?”


    Wham!


    At these words, the entire scene fell into deathly silence, so quiet that even the sound of a needle falling could be distinctly heard.


    All of the Cooper family’s hearts jolted violently. It was as if they were suddenly plunged into a bottomless abyss and an inexplicable fear instantly arose in their hearts.


    “How…how is this possible? How is it that even David Herb is so respectful to that brat?”


    “Isn’t he just a young man fresh out of prison? Why does hemand such respect?”


    “My goodness! First it was Longman Jack, then Amanda, and now there’s David Herb. Who on earth is this guy?


    A series of questions kept rising in the minds of the members of the Cooper family. Their emotions were akin to a surging sea, wave after wave, each wave stronger than thest.


    At this point, the expression on the faces of the members of the Cooper family could not be described as stifled, it was more akin to despair.


    The David Herb they had been eagerly anticipating, the David Herb they had set their sights on, was now respectfully standing by the side of their arch-enemy, White Mitchell.


    It was unbearable!


    Such a scene would be hard for anyone to swallow.


    “Old… Old man, what should we do now?” Quite a few of the Cooper family’s close rtives began to panic.


    Their grandest support, had sided with White Mitchell.


    The current Cooper family couldn’t challenge White Mitchell.


    Any one of the three influential figures of Sayon standing by his side could easily annihte the Cooper family with just a word!


    Even if today’s events were to leak out, without them lifting a finger, there would probably be no one in Sayon willing to coborate with the Cooper family.


    At this moment, they were genuinely panicking, some were even trembling, cold sweat beading on their foreheads.


    The enormous Cooper family was in chaos, everyone lost their footing, their emotions in utter turmoil, on edge.


    “Why, why did it have to be like this, why???” Maddox looked towards White Mitchell in the direction he was looking at, his heart sinking.


    “Old man, a wise man knows when to step back. It’s better to back down and live to fight another day!” A close rtive of the Cooper family couldn’t help but advise.


    “Yes, Old Man, under these circumstances, it’s not our turn to refuse to bow,” a second rtive quickly counselled.


    “Old man, as long as the green hills are there, we won’t run out of firewood…”


    More and more of the Cooper family’s direct descendants gathered around Maddox, desperately pleading.


    Now, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the Cooper family was losing their grip, if they didn’t bow their heads, what awaits them would be irreversible doom!


    Meanwhile, as the direct descendants of the Cooper family were persuading Maddox, White Mitchell, who had been staying silent, slowly stood up.


    Hmm?


    What is he nning to do?


    The crowd saw White Mitchell suddenly stand up and couldn’t help but turn their gaze towards him.


    The members of the Cooper family noticed the strange atmosphere and also turned their eyes towards White Mitchell.


    White Mitchell, now standing, casually nced at David Herb and the other two and spoke with a calm face, “Didn’t I invite you to celebrate? So, did you all forget to bring the birthday gifts?”


    Wham!


    As soon as these words came out, the crowd erupted into a tumult.


    The tremendous shock was like a heavy hammer smash into their hearts, trembling violently.


    A wave of thoughts flooded, tumultuously, into the minds of the crowd.


    Who would’ve thought that all of this was arranged by White Mitchell?


    The three titans of Sayon, Nan Xiaodu, Longman Jack, topped by the apex of the Sayon hierarchy, David Herb, were all summoned by White Mitchell! The Cooper family’s so-called allegiance, power and road to glory.


    It was nothing but an illusion created by White Mitchell!


    All of this was arranged by White Mitchell!


    White Mitchell, using the three titans of Sayon, yed the Cooper family like a fiddle.


    No wonder, why he was so fearless from the beginning, no wonder he never took the Cooper family seriously, No wonder, no wonder, no wonder!!!


    At this moment, the crowd was even more shocked than if they had seen a mirage in the middle of the sea.


    They looked at White Mitchell as if they were looking at an insurmountable mountain peak, a figure that they could only look up to.


    Who is White Mitchell exactly?


    This question loomed in everyone’s mind at the scene, with no answer in sight!


    And at this moment, the members of the Cooper family, stupefied, stood frozen in ce.


    Quite a few people’s legs gave out and they copsed on the spot, their faces pale – the energy drained from their bodies.


    It’s over, the game was up!


    The hearts of the Cooper family members were numb, their eyes devoid of spirit.


    And then, the trio led by David Herb, slowly approached them.


    Longman Jack looked at Maddox with a teasing expression and said, “Old man,e, this is a gift for you!”
