The Return of the War Legate by Celestial Clouds

Chapter 81
Nine Kings was a distinguished company in Swallowston that was considered one of the tops.
The Cowells drove to Nine Kings in three separate cars and were beyond excited. After all, Liam was an influential person in Swallowston so it was a massive event for the Cowells to meet him.
“Hahaha, Liam will treat us to the finest drinks for sure! Our family is truly impressive.” Francis could not refrain from chuckling in excitement as he sat in the car. He was convinced that Liam would feel more secure in the contract they signed with Bailar now that the Cowells had taken over.
Clara said, “Francis is right. Liam will surely treat us with courtesy now that our status is different.”
Next to her, Clara’s boyfriend, Simon smiled. “I heard talks about Liam. He’s fond of working with capable people.
“On a side note, he nominated my family, the Blacks, as being capable in the past. He’ll certainly be very excited to host me today and to know that the Cowells and Blacks are working together.”
Simon appeared confident.
The Cowells nodded in agreement.

Soon, the Cowells, led by Violet, arrived at Nine Kings.
When they arrived at the reception, Violet said, “I’m the matriarch of the Cowells and the president of the Cowell Group. I want to meet with your director. Inform him of my arrival.
Violet spoke as if she were giving orders.
The receptionist glanced through the director’s schedule upon hearing this and said, “I’m sorry. The director’s appointment slots for the day are full. There are a few other guests waiting for him upstairs. He doesn’t have free time today. Perhaps you could give him a call instead.”
Liam was busy every day and his itinerary for the day was already full so he would not have the time to meet them.
The Cowells were infuriated upon hearing this.
Francis was furious. He stepped forward and scolded, “How dare you stop us from meeting Mr. Liam when you’re just a receptionist. Do you know who we are? We are the Cowells.
“We’re about to move into Swallow Central and rise to become an influential family in Swallowston
“Do you even understand what that means?”
Francis glared at the receptionist in anger.
The receptionist was aggrieved and said anxiously, “I have the director’s schedule and I can assure you that his appointment slots are full, sir. Why don’t you give him a call instead because I can’t contact him.”
Francis flew into a rage and delivered a slap to the receptionist’s face. She staggered from the slap and covered her cheek as tears welled up in her eyes.
Francis pointed at the receptionist and scolded, “How dare you speak so arrogantly. I’m going to beat you to death. How dare you offend an influential family like ours!
“We want to meet Mr. Liam. Otherwise, I’ll beat you until your lips are bl oody!” he roared.
