Chapter 7 Tanks

After spending two hours asking Lucretia, Xavier did not manage to extract any useful information from her.

After a quiet sigh, he could only let go of her.

“Snap.” Startled, Lucretia hurriedly ran back to her room as if escaping, locking the door tightly from the inside.

“Lucretia, what secret are you keeping from me?” Xavier asked.

Lying in bed, Xavier was completely unable to sleep tonight.

It was not until a hazy figure emerged in his mind that he fell asleep. That was an indelible imprint hidden deep within his soul.

“Where… exactly are you?” Xavier murmured softly and drifted off into a drowsy sleep.

It was a sunny day the next day. Wealthy families gathered at Galaxy Hotel.

Today was the sip-and-see party for the newborn grandchild of the third generation of the Vanderbilt family. Nearly all the prominent figures in Oceanheim were here.

The Vanderbilt family splurged 160 million dollars to reserve the entire building of Galaxy Hotel.

In the hotel’s backstage, Samuel, clad in traditional attire, appeared lively and spirited.

Standing behind him were two men in suits. They were none other than Leopold and his elder brother, Wesley, the deputy mayor of Oceanheim.

“Leopold, is everything ready?” Samuel asked.

“Dad, everything’s set,” Leopold said. “Beatrix is welcoming guests in the lobby, and Jarvis is on his way.”

Samuel nodded. He then asked somewhat worriedly, “That silly guy from the Cavanaugh family won’t come to cause trouble, right?”

After hearing this, a glint of seriousness flashed across Leopold’s eyes. “Don’t worry, Dad,” he said. “To prevent any mishaps, I’ve arranged for three hundred bodyguards. Additionally, Jarvis has also dispatched five hundred soldiers from the Skystorm Legion. Let’s not talk about Xavier showing up. Even if a fly dares to buzz around in front of the Vanderbilt family, one of its legs has to be removed.”

Beside them, Wesley’s eyes glinted upon hearing that. Not wanting to be outdone, he said, “Dad, with me, the deputy mayor of Oceanheim, around, no one dares to cause trouble in front of the Vanderbilt family.”

When the father and sons from the Vanderbilt family appeared, the hall instantly fell silent.

After the emcee delivered a routine opening speech, Samuel stepped onto the red carpet and began his address.

However, the content was mostly an official monologue which was filled with expressions of gratitude and paying tribute.

After Samuel finished speaking, Leopold, as the host, engaged in small talk for the next ten minutes.

Finally, the main figure of the banquet, which was the third-generation newborn grandson of the Vanderbilt family, was slowly pushed out by a maid.

This baby, who was born with a silver spoon, was named George Vanderbilt.

“Wow, such an adorable little baby.”

“Look, that little one is pouting. It seems like he’s looking for milk.”

“Oh, where’s the child’s mother?”

At this point, someone noticed something amiss. The discussions then started with many people talking all at once, each trying to express their thoughts.

Witnessing this scene, Leopold hurriedly stepped forward to explain, “My wife… she just gave birth and is still in confinement.”
