“Mr. Hawkins, it’s an honor to have you here.” The organizer approached him with great respect. After all, Benjamin was a prominent figure in Pamore.

Even if the Hawkins family had gone through some hiccups, their current position in Pamore

remained among the top tier.

As a small–scale organizer, they dared not offend Benjamin, so they gave him a seat in the
