Wilbur felt that something was off with the whole event.
In theory, they would typically invite the loey members of the clan for a banquet, with a hundred or so people from the three major clans. That would already be considered a large gathering. The manor had around four to five hundred people at the moment. Was that not a little bit excessive?
He thought about it and decided to sneak inside first. He would go home if there were too many people or outsiders. He did not want to make an appearance in front of so many people.
He transformed himself to look like Trevor before he got out of the car and then walked toward the manor.
There were cars still coming in. People walked in groups, chatting and laughing on their way to the manor.
Wilbur arrived at the door. He did not recognize any of the people who passed him by.
He found it strange that there was no one at the door. It was as if everyone was allowed to enter.
The manor was the home of the Owens. Jeremy lived there and they had family business to handle there. Why would they let anyone walk in just like that?
Wilbur thought it was weird.
He frowned and slowly headed inside. He passed through the hallway.
People kept moving around him, but no one asked him anything. No one checked his identification. It was as though thry were not on private property.
Wilbur finally arrived at the courtyard after ten minutes. It was a spacious courtyard.
The courtyard was filled with around four to five hundred chairs, and they were almost fully occupied, creating a densely packed mass of people.
Wilbur looked around and noticed that he only recognized a dozen or so people at the front who were responsible for arranging the seating, whom he had seen during the battle with Jeremy Owens on Sealake Island. He did not recognize the others.
He quietly sat in the back to observe. He wanted to find out what the three major clans were up to.
It did not look like a simple lecture event to him.
The three major clans would not invite so many people without informing him. Something was definitely going on, so he felt like it was better not to show his face.
Meanwhile, a few people walked in. There were no seats left at the front, so they chose to sit next to Wilbur.
Wilbur noticed that the heads of the three clans were not there yet.
