The devious-looking man was no other than Gladius.
Gladius wore a black tuxedo while Centaur and Minotaur stood by his sides.
He stepped on the stage, took a microphone, and coughed into it once. The ambient music immediately stopped, and everyone's attention was directed towards him.
Gladius grinned and announced, "I'm sorry to inform you that Mr. Cory Wagner can't host this banquet this time because he had to handle something else. He asked me to apologize to you on his behalf."
Most of the guests arrived because they wanted to see Cory, so it caused an uproar among the guests.
Gladius grinned. "Mr. Wagner couldn't show up today, but he did ask me to host this banquet on his behalf..."
A lot of guests immediately started to direct their ire to Gladius. "F***. We came here just because of Mr. Wagner."
"Who do you think you are to host this banquet?”
"Just turn back the ship. Don't waste my damn time."
Gladius stared at the people who were making the most noise and smiled meekly. "Haha. It seems like you don't really want me here and you can't wait to get off the ship. Fine by me! Throw them all off the ship."
Whoosh...
The people who ranted the loudest were immediately seized by menacing bodyguards and thrown off the ship.
That shocked every single person in the hall!
A murderous expression appeared on Nathan's face when he saw what had happened.
On the other hand, Colin took a few lifebuoys from the wall and threw them towards the few unlucky people who were bobbing around in the sea.
