Chapter 378 Not Intentionally Stealing Your Thunder
Leading the way, Theodore, the principal of Kings University, walked in front with the director of the school, Peter.
The school's main auditorium was packed, with over 500 new students and nearly 800 people joining in the excitement.
Theodore, the principal, was the first to speak on stage, discussing the current situation and giving a welcome address to the new students. He emphasized the discovery of the Canadian mineral veins, a topic that immediately caught the attention of everyone present, especially those in the martial arts community and influential families who were particularly interested in this vein.
After the principal's speech, it was time for the representative of the new students to speak, and Delilah was the first to take the stage.
She appeared wearing a tight red dress, her hair tied up in a ponytail. She walked gracefully with a serene aura like still waters.
Her appearance immediately drew the gaze of countless people, especially the men, who were captivated by her beauty.
"Delilah looks really great. She is in no way inferior to the four beauties of Canada."
"She is beautiful indeed, but I heard she's a master-level expert. Ordinary men can't handle her!"
Upon hearing that Delilah was a master-level expert, most of the men in the audience kept a respectful distance.
Delilah gave a brief speech on stage and then returned to her seat.
Next to take the stage was Marvin.
Wearing a black suit with well-defined facial features, standing at 1.8 meters tall, and paying meticulous attention to detail, Marvin exuded an air of arrogance.
As a young and handsome heir with a strong background, his appearance immediately provoked screams from the entire female audience.
"Wow, he's so handsome!"
"I wish I could marry him!"
"I really want to date him!"
While Marvin was speaking on stage, William, as the heir of the Brown family, arrived at the backstage of the auditorium with Peter leading the way.
"Sir, this is Mr. Theodore, the principal of this school!" Peter enthusiastically introduced a middle-aged man dressed in a suit.
"Hello, uncle!" William didn't address him as Theodore but as "uncle", which further strengthened their relationship.
"Mr. Brown, are you comfortable here? Your father and I were roommates at a university in Toronto." Theodore chatted warmly with William.
"I arrived only a few days ago, so I can't say if I'm used to it or not. But the specialty snacks here are quite delicious. I wonder if the school cafeteria has Lamb Souvlaki." William also smiled and chatted with Theodore.
At the same time, Theodore also reminded him of the content of his upcoming speech, and William memorized it one by one in his mind.
Soon, Marvin finished his speech on the stage and walked down. As he passed by the backstage, he caught sight of William wearing a half mask. His gaze turned cold for a moment, but he quickly returned to his seat.
At the same time, the emcee on the stage picked up the microphone and began introducing the next guest speaker.
"The next speaker is the special guest of this year's freshmen welcome party."
Upon hearing this, everyone sitting in the auditorium started to anticipate eagerly. After all, the special guest is of great importance, with some being influential figures that various forces strive to befriend.
"This year's special guest for the welcome party is Mr. Brown, the heir of The Browns' Property. Let's welcome him to the stage for his speech." As soon as the host's words fell, there was an uproar among the audience below the stage. They never expected that this year's special guest would be Mr. Brown, the heir of The Browns' Property. Discussions broke out instantly.
"I heard that Mr. Brown has never appeared in public. He's so mysterious."
"Yes, The Browns' Property is a top-tier family, but they keep a low profile. I wonder what Mr. Brown looks like."
Everyone was excited for the upcoming speech by Mr. Brown. After all, the Brown family was incredibly low-profile, and very little information had been revealed about their heir, Mr. Brown. This had piqued the interest of many people.
In fact, many of them were already planning to befriend Mr. Brown. He was the heir of a world-class family, so establishing a good relationship with him would undoubtedly bring many advantages in the future.
Meanwhile, Sophia sighed softly.
"Sophia, isn't Mr. Brown your fiancé?" Michelle remembered Sophia mentioning it before.
"So what if he is? I don't like him at all," Sophia replied with another sigh. She couldn't control the family alliance.
"Well, I will be there for you in the coming years." Michelle suddenly held Sophia's hand and looked at her.
"Thank you, Michelle. You're the only one by my side now!" Sophia intimately wrapped her arm around Michelle's and felt grateful to have such a caring friend with her during this difficult time.
Soon, William walked up from the backstage area. His steps were steady, and his posture was light. He had just been at the entrance a moment ago, and in the blink of an eye, he was in the center of the stage, moving in a somewhat mysterious manner.
It was not clear why, but Mr. Brown's unusually fast walking speed gave the impression to some knowledgeable individuals that he was not ordinary.
When William appeared wearing a half-mask, it immediately sparked discussions among the audience below.
Especially the girls, who became even more interested in the mysterious Mr. Brown.
Meanwhile, on the stage, William held a microphone and began his speech. After a simple greeting, William decided to make a big surprise to the audience and, at the same time, quickly secure a large number of collaborators for the BN Group.
"Here, I have some news to share with you all. The Brown family-owned BN Group in Canada has discovered a mineral vein and will begin mining operations soon. Of course, we are more than willing to collaborate with all you noble people."
His words caused a great sensation in the whole venue.
And this news was not unfounded. William had received information from Fitch earlier, which confirmed that they had traced Bruce's whereabouts. Within another month, they would have a complete grasp of Bruce's movements.
This news was both a smokescreen and a signal to everyone. It conveyed that BN Group was willing to cooperate with others, thereby reducing potential enemies.
"Is it true that BN Group has found a mineral vein? Could they have found Bruce?"
"It's possible. After all, it's Mr. Brown. He wouldn't lie, right?"
"If it's true, then the situation in Canada is going to be stirred up again!"
William's speech had indeed wiped out most of the forces present below the stage. Almost everyone wanted to establish a connection with the BN Group, whether it was for exploration purposes or further cooperation. In any case, this news had certainly boosted the BN Group's prominence.
However, Marvin furrowed his brows.
"Mr. Brown is truly extraordinary. He only needs to make an appearance to steal my thunder," Marvin muttered coldly to himself.
