Chapter 9 9
It was said to be a banquet, but it was actually a party!
As the representative of the New Sea Bank, Zara's connections were obviously terrifying, the moment she stepped into the banquet hall, she became the center of attention in the banquet hall, and quite a few people would come up to greet her, and she would smile politely in return.
And most of these people, would look at Liam curiously with a strange expression on their faces.
There weren't many people inside the banquet hall, probably only thirty-four people, and these thirty-forty people, almost all of the entire Detroit's top rich second-generation people were gathered together.
The entire banquet hall was filled with a wide array of top-notch food.
Liam looked at it and gave a dry cough, “It shouldn't matter if I take some food!”
Zara first froze for a moment, then faintly smiled and said, “Feel free!”
“Ok le!” Liam nodded, he took a plate, then chose some food, and Zara walked to a seat and sat down, then ate by himself.
They looked a bit out of place with the banquet hall, most of the people inside the banquet hall were in twos and threes, holding red wine glasses and exchanging ideas, but Liam was the only one eating over here.
Zara didn't feel ashamed, took a cup of drink by herself and sat beside Liam.
Just at this time, Ben walked into the banquet hall with Chloe and Arthur, they saw Liam sitting over there eating from afar, Arthur said with a grimace, “Sure enough, he is a bumpkin, this kind of gathering is for everyone to chat together, to see if there are any opportunities for cooperation and to broaden one's network, but he's so good, he actually eats it up wherever he is.”
“He hasn't seen the world at all.” Chloe said with disgust, “I guess he came to the Marriott Hotel for the first time, he's never eaten anything here in his life and wants to try it!”
“Hmph, I'll let him know how the word disgrace is written today.” Arthur said and laughed coldly. Walking to the side and fetching a glass of red wine, he walked straight towards Liam and Zara.
Arriving in front of Liam, looking at Liam who was eating something with his head down, he showed a trace of disdainful smile on the corner of his mouth, then opened his mouth and said in a loud voice: “Manager Wilson, this one beside you, is he your boyfriend?”
At the doorway when Zara had already said it, he brought it up again, and with such a loud voice, it was obvious that he wanted to draw everyone's attention.
Sure enough, along with the fall of his voice, the gazes of many people in the banquet hall were cast over.
Liam raised his head and calmly glanced at Arthur.
On the other hand, Zara laughed and said, “Well, it just so happens that I would also like to introduce you all, this person next to me is my boyfriend, Liam.”
Arthur's face with a dark smile flickered and said, “Hey, I didn't expect that the goddess in the hearts of many of us, the Zara's great beauty from the New Sea Bank, was actually taken down by this brother, it is estimated that a lot of brothers are going to be heartbroken, however, looking at this brother's dress, it is a little bit out of place with this banquet ah.”
Zara frowned slightly, she looked at Liam and realized that Liam's face was quite calm.
In fact, regarding Liam, Zara was also very curious!
The first time she saw Liam, Liam looked no different from a beggar, but it was such a person who actually owned a diamond card from New Sea Bank! This is not something that can be possessed just by having money.
She looked at Liam's calm face, and then associated it with Liam's previous dress and behavior, she guessed in her heart that she guessed that Liam was more low-key and didn't like to expose himself too much. She smiled faintly and said, “He is just an ordinary person.”
Arthur laughed and said, “That's too ordinary, then again, Manager Wilson, you wouldn't be letting us suitors die, deliberately hiring someone on the internet to pretend to be your boyfriend, it's a salvation, it's not something that anyone can just come yo!”
“Hey, talking about you, kid.” Seeing that Liam has been silent, Arthur looked at Liam and said, "As far as I know, it seems like you are moving bricks inside a construction site ah. Hiring yourself on the internet is your part-time job? How much money can a commodity like you earn by coming out and pretending to be someone's boyfriend once?"
“Pfft!” Right at this time, quite a few people in the banquet hall burst into laughter.
Arthur looked at Liam with a smile on his face and asked cheerfully, “Don't be bored, brother, say something.”
Liam picked up the dinner plate on the table and stood up, he ignored Arthur, looked at Zara and said, “My dear, there seems to be a dog barking here, it's not quiet to eat something, let's change the place!”
As the voice fell, the whole place was quiet.
And Arthur's face, all of a sudden, became pitch black.
His gaze steeply chilled as he looked at Liam and said, "Sun thief, who are you cursing! A fool who moves bricks, and you're still pretending with me."
“Bang!”
Just at this time, the door of the banquet hall was pushed open, and a girl assisted an old man in his sixties to walk into the banquet hall.
The moment the two appeared, everyone's eyes looked over.
“So beautiful!” Many girls let out a gasp.
Yes, the girl at the door was beautiful!
She possessed a height of close to one meter seven, had a perfect figure, and Angelic face, and when she appeared at the venue, she almost instantly became the center of attention at the venue!
Liam also couldn't help but be slightly surprised.
This girl, in terms of looks and temperament, was almost indistinguishable from Freya.
“That man is the richest man in Detroit, Shawn, and the woman is his daughter, Zoya.” Zara said as she explained next to Liam.
“It's actually him?” Liam was secretly staggered in his heart, this Shawn, he actually knew him.
Zara glanced at Liam in surprise and said, “You know him?”
“A little impression.” Liam smiled and said, “Not very familiar.”
"It's quite lively. Just now when I was at the door I seemed to hear that there seemed to be some unpleasantness at the entrance of the banquet hall?" A slightly benevolent smile appeared on Shawn's mouth as his gaze slowly swept over the young people on the scene, however, the moment his gaze swept over Liam, his complexion abruptly shook.
The gaze that had swept over quickly swept over, and immediately afterward, his entire body trembled slightly.
Immediately afterward, amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, he walked all the way towards Liam with quick steps.
He walked all the way to Liam's front, in the midst of the crowd's shocked gazes.
“Pfft!”
This richest man in Detroit, a figure who called the shots in Detroit, just plopped down and knelt in front of Liam!
“It's you...when it was a one-sided relationship, you disappeared after you saved me, I didn't even have a chance to repay my kindness, I didn't expect that you actually appeared at the banquet I organized, three years ago I heard that you were in Detroit...” Shawn's voice trembled.
But before he could finish his words, Liam interrupted him and said, “You have recognized the wrong person.”
The Vigilante, was a secret organization in US, and ordinary people did not know about his existence.
But when they reached a certain status, they would hear about it, and Shawn, and Liam had once had a meeting.
Liam had once saved him from the hands of the Blood Lotus, and at that time, he had heard the names of the ‘Blood Lotus’ and the Night Watchman, and later on, he was the one who had signed a confidentiality agreement and was not allowed to mention these things to anyone.
Liam was worried that he would be too excited and continue talking and accidentally shake these things out.
Shawn was able to become the richest man in Detroit, he was obviously very experienced in observing words and he knew that Liam did not want to be exposed.
His body trembled a bit and wiped the tears on his face. Then he stood up from the ground and said, “People are old, old eyes, actually recognized the wrong person.”
Zoya hurriedly helped him up. Her pair of beautiful eyes swept over Liam, a hint of curiosity showing in her eyes.
It was only at this time that Arthur breathed a sigh of relief.
Just now, when Shawn knelt down, he almost peed in fear.
A person who could make even the richest man in Detroit kneel down could not possibly be someone he could afford to mess with.
At this time, seeing Shawn said that he recognized the wrong person, he opened his mouth and said: "That's right this guy is probably a boyfriend hired by Manager Wilson, that is, a bricklayer at the construction site, running here to mix food and drink to us. You must have recognized the wrong person, he is a waste!"
Shawn wiped his tears, then turned his body, pointed at Arthur, and then pointed at the doorway, and said in an unquestionable tone, “You...get out!”
“Ah!” Arthur froze.
“I heard you slagging and whimpering there right outside, this friend is a guest since he was brought by Manager Wilson, I am hosting this banquet for your younger generation to exchange, not for you to come here to find trouble and humiliate people, so hurry up and get out!” Shawn said in an ice-cold tone.
“This... this...” Arthur's face flushed red, red to the base of his neck!
Such a party, he was actually going to be blown away in front of everyone, this was...too humiliating.
“I'm telling you to get lost, don't you understand?” Shawn's tone grew colder and colder.
