Unrivalled God of War

Chapter 171

As such, Sean Smith, together with Samuel, Paul, Miles and May, headed off for the Peony Hall at once.

When the party arrived, Benson Smith was in the midst of blaming Nathan and Penny for organizing this birthday lunch. At the sight of his dad and brothers, Benson walked towards them with conflicting emotions. He asked weakly, “Dad, Samuel, Paul, what brings you guys here?”

Sean Smith narrowed his eyes as he said, “We’re just here to take a look.”

Samuel Smith looked around the hall and said deliberately, “Benson, you don’t seem to have any guests!”

Benson Smith’s face flushed red with embarrassment as he answered, “They just haven’t arrived yet.”

Samuel Smith let out a mocking laugh and said, “Our friends and relatives are all over at my birthday celebration, who else could you be expecting?”

Leah, who was still upset over her husband’s dismissal from Diva Limited, said coldly, “Samuel if you’re here to ridicule or scoff at us, you’ve already achieved your objective. If there’s nothing else, please leave.”

With a wry smile on his face, Samuel Smith replied, “Leah, that’s not what I’m here for. I’ve already had enough of my fill of that, it’s not something new.”

“You!” Leah was quivering with anger as she pointed her finger at Samuel.

Samuel Smith turned to face his brother and said, “Benson, I’m here to discuss something with you. It will be to your advantage.”

Feeling dubious, Benson Smith asked, “What is it?”

Samuel Smith replied, “Since there won’t be anyone attending your birthday celebration today, it would be a waste to leave Peony Hall unutilized. I’ve already thought of a solution to it though. Why don’t you let me have the hall instead? There aren’t enough seats for all my guests at the Lotus Hall and it would be great if they could have their food here. I’ll compensate you for the space, of course.”

Benson Smith widened his eyes as he could not believe what he just heard, “Errr... Samuel, I don’t think that’s appropriate.”

Miles let out a cold snort before saying, “Why isn’t it appropriate? We’re doing you a favor by helping you recoup some of the losses you would otherwise have to suffer for these empty tables you’ve booked... “

Then, turning to the hotel manager, the young man said, “Hey you, take down the banner at the entrance that says ‘Wishing Mr. Benson Smith A Happy 50th Birthday’ and replace it with ‘Wishing Mr. Samuel Smith A Happy 55th Birthday’ instead.”

Just as the hotel manager was going to proceed according to Miles Smith’s instructions, she was stopped by Nathan Cross.

“Stop! I have booked the Peony Hall for my dad’s fiftieth birthday celebration. Who would have the audacity to usurp our venue?” The man snarled.

Samuel Smith’s face darkened upon hearing Nathan’s words. As he did not dare to flare up at the younger man, he made Benson Smith his target instead. He said to his brother with resentment, “Benson, seriously? You would rather hog this room and let it go to waste than to let me use it?”

Sean Smith also joined in to reprimand his younger son. “Benson, you’re too self-centered and narrow- minded. I’m glad I decided to dismiss you from Diva Limited. Someone who can’t see the big picture,

like you, will never succeed in anything.”

With a tone of disdain, Miles said, “We’ve already invited the mayor’s secretary, Rexton Torres, to attend my dad’s birthday lunch. Uncle, you should just give up the Peony Hall to us quickly so that we can have more space to accommodate our overflowing guests. If there’s no seat for Mr. Torres when he arrives, you shall be responsible for it. But let me warn you, he’s not someone you can afford to offend.”

Samuel Smith and those on his side had gone too far in provoking Benson Smith, that the latter and his family were shaking with fury.

Speak of the devil.

Right after Miles Smith had bragged that the mayor’s secretary, Rexton Torres, would be coming, an authoritative-looking man wearing an expensive jacket was seen walking towards the Peony Hall.

He was around 30 years old and carrying a leather briefcase. The man was leading an entourage. He was none other than the mayor’s secretary, Rexton Torres, whom Miles had just mentioned. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Mr. Torres! You really came! It’s our greatest privilege to have you as our distinguished guest!”

As Miles Smith extended a warm welcome to the honored guest, his grandpa and dad also hurried over.

What shocked the Smiths, even more, was that Rexton Torres’s entourage consisted of the heads of various government departments.

The leaders of almost every government division of Channing was present. Even the leading man of the country, the mayor Russell Crow, was there!

Sean Smith and his entire family could not believe their luck and were shivering with excitement. To be able to have the mayor’s secretary, Mr. Torres, as a guest, was already a great feat. Little did the family expect that the various political leaders and even the mayor himself had also showed up!

It was indeed a great honor!
