Nicolas wasn’t just the mayor of River City. He also came from the Myers family in Mound City. Even without his official title, he was someone you didn’t ignore.

The host invited Nicolas and the others to say a few words.

Valka took the microphone. “I’m honored to be here today,” he said. “I’m not part of the bidding, but just witnessing this event means a lot.”

He paused, then continued, “I hear Ms. Reed will be introducing a special guest. Truth is, I’ve had the privilege of meeting this person. People around here call me a miracle doctor, which honestly embarrasses me. Compared to this guest, I don’t deserve that title. Next to him, I’m barely a student. If anyone deserves to be called a miracle doctor, it’s him.”

The crowd stirred. Murmurs broke out.

“This mystery guest knows medicine, too? And Mr. Hale admits he’s outclassed?”

“Mr. Hale’s a giant in the Dragon Kingdom medical world. For him to bow like that… this person’s skill must be otherworldly.”

“I’m dying to know who this is.”

Bjorn took the microphone next. “I only recently met this guest myself. As some of you know, I don’t impress easily. But this person? I’m in complete awe. He stood far above everyone else. A young prodigy.”

As he spoke, his gaze flickered briefly toward the Stewart family’s table.

Honestly, Bjorn envied them. They’d somehow landed Stefan as Sara’s fiancé.

But judging by their expressions, they had no idea what they had.

Oh, well. They’ll find out soon enough.

Bjorn’s words only deepened the crowd’s curiosity. If someone like him sang such praises, this guest had to be extraordinary.

Finally, Nicolas took the microphone with a smile. “The Reed family’s East District project will do wonders for River City’s development. As mayor, I fully support it.”

He paused, then added, “But as you know, I never attend events like this. Today’s an exception. And I’ll be honest-the main reason I’m here is this special guest.”

Gasps rippled through the hall. The buzz grew louder.

“Mr. Myers came because of this guest?”

“He’s never shown up at any business event before. Whoever this person is… he must be incredibly important.”

“Ms. Reed’s giving him a grand introduction, and the mayor’s breaking his own rule for him who on earth is this?”

The venue was abuzz with discussion.

Nicolas’ words had just elevated the mystery guest to another level entirely.

Was that my imagination? She then let it go.

After the brief speeches, Nicolas, Bjorn, and the others took their seats.
