The air seemed to be frozen all of a sudden.
The banquet fell into deadly silence.
None of them dared to make a noise under the threat of Louis, the Commander of the Action Zone in Hopkins.
While his soldiers were all gobbling down food in the banquet, Ayan didn’t seem to be annoyed by that. Instead, he appeared excited.
Every privileged family in Hopkins had ever struggled to ingratiate themselves with this commander at all costs. But none of them had ever made it.
To everyone’s surprise, Louis actually showed up in his birthday banquet!
How glorious!
His family would definitely thrive as long as he could build a relationship with the Commander Louis.
But still, he remained sober though overwhelmed with excitement.
Louis abruptly changed his attitude as soon as Leo simply greeted him.
Obviously, there had been a strong friendship between Leo and Louis.
Soon, those soldiers finished all the dishes on table.
Ayan yelled loud to order, “Tell the chef to get as much food as possible! Now!”
His desire to please Louis was running wild at this moment.
Soon, more dishes were served.
Ayan somehow started to change his attitude toward Leo—his hatred against Leo had all gone. What was more, he felt quite enjoyable when staring at him.
If it weren’t because of the fact that Leo had married, he would definitely make Laura Mrs. Cohen.
“Mr. Cohen, Commander Louis, how do you like the dishes?” Ayan asked with a fawning smile.
Seeing Emilia devouring the food, Leo nodded, “It tastes good.”
Louis nodded as well.
“Nice wine!”
Hearing that, Leo was rendered thrilled.
He had been standing still, ready for their disposal as if he were a waiter instead of the patriarch of the Watts.
He could tell that the Watts would soon reach the prime as long as he could satisfy Louis.
“Mr. Cohen, may I?”. Louis proposed a toast to Leo.
“Sure.” Leo raised up his glass to clink with Louis’s.
Though it only happened within a second, Ayan couldn’t help sweating nervously.
He was struck by panic when he noticed that Louis was toasting Leo on his own initiative, which indicated that Leo might be more superior than this commander!
It suddenly occurred to Ayan that he had been conspiring against Leo before.
At the thought of that, he almost passed out in horror.
Though Ayan wasn’t part of the army, he was clearly aware of the rules—the commander never toasted others unless it was someone whom he paid great respect.
“Hey, don’t forget to toast Nadine.” Said Leo casually.
Then Louis did as told, “Nadine, cheers!”
Nadine replied by raising up her glass.
While watching, Ayan was overwhelmed with panic.
Now he was sure Leo was superior to Louis.
Then Leo pointed at Ayan, “Today is Mr. Watts’s birthday.”
Louis took a glimpse at him. But he still sat tight on the chair while raising up his glass.
“Happy birthday.” Louis echoed casually.
“It’s my honor!” Ayan got thrilled as if it were the greatest fortune for him.
Now his hostility against Leo had completely turned into gratitude.
“Grandpa, why do you keep him stay? What’s going on with all these soldiers?” somebody suddenly questioned with anger from behind.
It was Jonah, who just finished cleaning up his body.
