Chapter 36 The Pinnacle of Life
Maria got into the car, while Scott and the others chose to go back. Larry drove the car towards the military district.
Soon, he caught up with the Lewis family convoy. He wasn't in a hurry and followed slowly behind.
Although the Lewis family was only a second-tier family, they had some money. Everyone in the family drove luxury cars, and Luke also brought a luxury car from home to support the Lewis family.
The Lewis family convoy was very luxurious and grand.
There were dozens of cars, with gongs and drums, created a lively scene.
The banner at the front of the convoy was eye-catching and attracted the attention of passersby. Many people took out their phones to capture the moment and upload it to social media, causing a sensation.
"The Lewis family is impressive."
"Many big families in Sunset City didn't get an invitation, but the Lewis family did."
"Isn't it because they found an excellent son-in-law?"
Countless people were discussing.
Victor sat in the Bentley, looking at the onlookers around him with a smile that he couldn't hide.
The Lewis family members also felt very proud.
Attending the Free King's succession ceremony meant that the Lewis family had gained the recognition of the Free King and had become a truly prestigious family.
"Luke, thank you." Julia, with a joyful expression, couldn't help but kiss Luke, who was driving. He was driving a Ferrari borrowed from home.
He looked proud. "Julia, I told you, I wouldn't embarrass you. How about it? I didn't lie to you, did I? I made the Lewis family proud, didn't I?"
Julia nodded, almost in tears with excitement.
"But, my dad said that one million dollars is far from enough to cover our expenses."
"I'll talk to Grandpa later and ask him to give more."
"Julia, that's not what I meant."
"Luke, you've helped us a lot. We can't let the Foster family suffer a loss. Don't worry, we can come up with a few million dollars."
As Luke heard this, Luke's face lit up.
The convoy moved forward in a grand manner, with the sound of gongs and drums constantly ringing, deafening the ears. Passersby on both sides of the road took out their phones to record the scene.
Soon, they arrived at the military district.
The succession ceremony hadn't started yet, and everyone was still waiting outside.
Those who came to watch the ceremony were very low-key, each driving alone.
Some important figures were gathered outside the military district gate, chatting with each other.
At this moment, the sound of gongs and drums came from a distance.
The sound was very loud.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a convoy, with a banner at the front. Seeing this, those who came to watch the Free King's succession ceremony were stunned.
The convoy stopped outside the military district.
Victor got out of the car, leaning on a cane, full of pride. He felt that he was amazing, finally leading the Lewis family to become a prestigious family. He greeted some important figures.
Although the Lewis family was only a second-tier family, Victor still knew these important figures, though their relationships weren't very good.
Victor said, "Mr. Garcia, it's you. You also got an invitation? That must have cost a lot, right?
"Isn't this the chairman of OceanSky Pharmaceuticals, Mr. Anderson? Hello, I'm Victor from Everjoy Company. By the way, Everjoy Company recently reached a cooperation with the Legion Group."
As he walked, he greeted some people he had met before but hadn't had much interaction with.
He also took out the invitation sent by the Western Territory Army, intentionally showing off.
The Lewis family members got out of the cars, feeling like they had reached the peak of their lives.
Seeing the invitation in Victor's hand, many people was surprised. "A special guest?"
There were quite a few important figures present.
They all knew about the invitations.
The invitations were also graded. The general public invitations were for ordinary seats, where one could only stand at the back to watch. Special guest invitations, however, were different; they were at the front and seated.
Victor took out the special guest invitation, which stunned many people.
"The Lewis family is just a second-tier family. How do they have a special guest invitation?"
"No wonder they have such a grand display; they are special guests of the Free King."
Many people were discussing.
They all thought that the Lewis family had an unusual relationship with the Free King.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to get a special guest invitation. Only truly important figures could sit in the special guest seats; money alone couldn't buy it.
"Mr. Lewis, it's you. How have you been lately?"
"Mr. Lewis, it's been over a decade. You look more spirited than ever."
Seeing that Victor had a special guest invitation, many important figures personally came to greet him.
Seeing some truly important figures greeting him, Victor felt very honored. At this moment, he even felt that he had entered high society and had connections with these high-society figures.
The Lewis family members were all full of pride, feeling that they had reached the pinnacle of their lives.
At the end of the convoy, Larry and Chloe didn't get out of the car.
Maria saw this scene and regretted it. She wished she hadn't come. Now that Victor was so impressive, he would definitely reward Julia.
"Julia found a good boyfriend." she couldn't help but sigh.
Larry, however, didn't say a word.
He was waiting for the entrance to open.
The more greatly Victor was praised now, the harder he would fall later.
Leo also arrived. He saw the special guest invitation in Victor's hand and couldn't help but envy him for having an excellent grandson-in-law.
He walked over and greeted warmly, "Mr. Lewis, how are you?"
"Mr. Evans..." Victor was flattered and quickly extended his hand to shake Leo's, saying enthusiastically, "Mr. Evans, I am very satisfied with the recent cooperation with the Legion Lord. I hope Everjoy Company can continue to work with the Legion Lord."
"Of course," Leo replied.
"By the way, in a few days, it will be my 80th birthday. Mr. Evans, if you have time, you can..."
Before Victor could finish, Leo agreed, "I'll definitely come."
"Mr. Lewis." Another voice came.
Then, a man in his fifties walked over.
He was Tom, the CEO of a large pharmaceutical company, second only to the Legion Lord in assets, who had been at Roxanne's villa last night.
Knowing Larry's identity, he now felt a bit intimidated when meeting Victor.
"Tom, hello." Victor promptly shook hands with him.
At this moment, Victor felt very proud. These important figures, who used to look down on him, were now eager to greet him.
He was very grateful to the Foster family.
Seeing this, the Lewis family members began to flatter Luke again, making him very happy.
"Mr. Lewis, hello!" Paul from the Foster family also came over to shake hands with Victor.
He hadn't expected Victor to have a connection with the Free King and get a special guest invitation.
If he didn't curry favor now, when would he?
He said, "Mr. Lewis, let's finalize Julia and Luke's marriage soon. How about after the ceremony, we let my unworthy son get engaged to Julia?"
"Good." Victor laughed.
This was the most glorious moment of his life. He felt he had reached the peak of his life, leading the Lewis family into a truly prestigious family.
At this moment, the tightly closed gates of the military district opened.
Some soldiers in uniforms walked out and stood on both sides.
A deputy general came out, looked at the people at the gate, and said, "The ceremony is about to begin. Please enter and take your seats according to the numbers on your invitations."
