Chapter 77 Kneeling Assembly
At the banquet, everyone turned to look at the door.
Three people walked in from outside.
One was Leo, the chairman of Legion Lord.
Another was Samuel, the owner of Pavilion Restaurant.
The third was an elderly man named Matthew, the president of the Hospital Association, known as the top doctor in Sunset City.
These three held positions at the pinnacle of Sunset City.
Leo, the core of the Evans family in Aurora Citadel, could bankrupt the Hall family with just one word.
Samuel was a very low-key person, but his influence was immense.
Matthew was even more impressive.
Sunset City was also known as Pharma City, and he was the top doctor.
In this world, the wealthier one was, the more he or she feared death.
It could be said that the combined influence of everyone present might not even match that of Matthew alone.
As the three walked in, they became the focus of the entire room.
"Who is talking nonsense?"
"Who's speaking ill of Chloe?"
"This is outrageous, who is speaking ill of Chloe?"
The three walked in, scanning the room.
The large banquet hall instantly fell into a dead silence.
the onlookers thought, 'What is going on?
'Why are these three big shots standing up for Chloe?'
Chloe looked surprised.
She thought, 'Leo is understandable; Larry has saved him once.
'What about Samuel and Dr. Rogers? I have no connection with these two.'
Seeing the three big shots arrive, Michael instantly cowered involuntarily stepped back into the crowd, and didn't dare say a word.
At this moment, he didn't dare to talk nonsense.
Just Leo alone could bankrupt the Hall family. Although the Williams family's assets were above the Four Great Families, they couldn't afford to offend these three.
As the three approached, Leo looked at the tearful Chloe with a touch of respect on his face. "Chloe."
Samuel also bent slightly. "Chloe."
Matthew, the president of the Hospital Association and the famous Dr. Rogers of Sunset City, directly knelt on the ground.
This scared Chloe, who took a slight step back.
Larry quickly supported Chloe, looking at the kneeling Matthew with a raised eyebrow. "Who are you? What are you doing? You're scaring my wife."
The scene was extremely quiet.
Everyone's eyes widened.
This was the president of the Hospital Association, the top doctor in Sunset City.
It was said that Matthew only saw three patients a day, and the wealthy had to book appointments three years in advance.
The famous Dr. Rogers was kneeling to Chloe.
This scene stunned everyone.
Hearing Larry's words, Matthew stood up, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and hurriedly apologized, "Chloe, I'm sorry, I lost my composure and scared you. I'm really sorry."
Matthew kept apologizing.
The Lewis family members were dumbfounded.
They didn't understand what was going on.
Since when did Chloe have such a powerful background that these big shots treated her like they were meeting the Free King?
Larry also looked at Matthew. He hadn't expected that the Matthew Chloe had mentioned before, Dr. Rogers, was actually the leader of the underground intelligence network, Grim Reaper. This was really interesting.
Leo scanned the surroundings.
His gaze swept over everyone.
Anyone who was looked at instinctively stepped back.
"Speak up, why aren't you talking?" Leo roared, "Chloe is noble and elegant, and cannot tolerate your insults. Who insulted her? Step forward."
Samuel also scanned the crowd, his face cold. "Step forward now, kneel and apologize, and there might still be a chance for redemption, otherwise..."
His face carried a threat.
This scared quite a few people.
Samuel was definitely not just talking. If he got angry, the entire Sunset City might tremble.
Matthew didn't dare to look at Larry at all. He quickly shifted his gaze and sternly said to everyone, "Who is it? Step forward."
Kelly looked at Leo, Samuel, and Matthew, her brows slightly furrowed.
It seemed these three already knew Larry's identity and were standing up for Chloe to curry favor with Larry.
As the host of today's banquet, she couldn't fall behind them.
Kelly came up to Chloe, held her hand, and scanned the guests at the banquet, saying word by word, "Chloe is my best friend. Insulting Chloe at my birthday party is disrespecting me. There are surveillance cameras here. I can check the footage to see who said what. It's better to step forward now."
Seeing this, those who had spoken earlier were completely terrified.
One person couldn't withstand the pressure from Matthew and the other big shots and knelt on the ground, continuously apologizing.
This was a CEO of a corporation, with an asset of millions of dollars.
Outside, he was a big shot. But now, he was humbly kneeling on the ground.
Chloe was frightened by this scene.
However, one of her hands was held by Larry, and the other by Kelly.
She looked at Kelly, then at Larry.
Her beautiful face was full of confusion.
She thought, 'Could it be that masked man again?'
Once one person knelt, a second followed.
Leo, Samuel, and Kelly were all from Aurora Citadel, all from truly prominent families.
Just Leo alone had bankrupted the Hall family.
The pressure from the three together was unbearable.
Those who had spoken out of turn all stepped forward and knelt on the ground.
One by one, people knelt.
In an instant, about twenty people were kneeling on the ground.
Seeing this, Oscar panicked. Because he had also spoken ill of Chloe.
However, after a moment of panic, he calmed down, stood up, and pointed at some of the big shots kneeling on the ground, some of whom had bigger businesses than the Lewis family.
Oscar cursed, "The Lewis family is not someone you can insult."
However, Larry walked over and kicked him in the knee.
Oscar instantly knelt on the ground.
"You... what are you doing?" Oscar said angrily.
Larry said calmly, "Just now, weren't you the one who spoke the most harshly?"
"I'm Chloe's cousin." Before Oscar could finish his sentence, Larry kicked him to the ground, causing him to scream in pain.
Then, Larry pointed at Julia.
Julia trembled all over, hurriedly pulling Luke beside her, her face full of fear. "Luke."
"Do you want to drag the Foster family down with you? Kneel now," Luke said, slapping her.
Julia cried from the slap.
She looked at Victor, saw his gloomy face, and trembled all over, unable to help but walk over and kneel on the ground.
At this moment, more than thirty big shots were kneeling on the ground.
There was still one person who hadn't knelt.
That was Michael.
He stood to the side, very hesitant.
If he knelt, the Williams family's reputation would be completely ruined.
If he didn't kneel, Leo, Samuel, and Kelly would pursue the matter, and the Williams family couldn't bear it.
After weighing the pros and cons, he knelt on the ground.
Seeing Michael kneel, his classmates were all stunned.
They thought, 'Michael kneels too?
'What is Chloe's background?'
A birthday party had turned into a kneeling assembly.
Seeing this scene, Chloe was in a daze, and she was at a loss, not knowing how to respond.
Leo looked at Victor, pointed at him, and said, "You spoke too, didn't you?"
Hearing this, Victor trembled.
He looked at Chloe, his face quite gloomy. "Chloe, do you want me to kneel to you?"
Chloe panicked and quickly said, "Grandpa, I wouldn't dare. This isn't right."
