Chapter 758
As the banquet passed its halfway point, Cody and Brayden began to toast the attendees one by one.
The guests in attendance were all prominent and influential figures. Cody wasn't one to play favorites or show favoritism, “We'll go from the back to the front, Brayden."
The guests didn't mind at all, "As you wish."
"This banquet is all about joy, happiness.”
Several guests echoed these sentiments casually.
Cody chuckled softly, raising his glass and moving from table to table with Brayden.
Congratulations abounded:
"Master Brayden, truly extraordinarily handsome.”
"Secretary Cody, we wish you a rapid rise to the top."
"Oh my, you must have endured so much inside, it's a pity... not letting anyone visit. I bet those who wronged you couldn't have imagined you'd be where you are today."
"From now on, it's all good days, full of prosperity.”
"Secretary Cody, please take care of us in the future. My business depends on you!"
These guests were seasoned in the business world, knowing exactly which words to use, which ones were best to pick.
They praised Cody.
Cody had heard such praise countless times back in Larro during his earlier years, so he responded with polite words.
Finally, they reached the table of Arian and Blake. When Cody saw them, his expression showed a hint of surprise.
While Cody had been chatting with Jorge all along, he hadn't noticed these two bigwigs.
Known as the "gods of wealth", these two young talents had significant standing in Urgford.
Arian was the young master of Dawson Bank, aptly titled the Big God of Wealth.
Blake had a golden touch with securities trading and was rightfully known as the Little God of Wealth.
These two...
