Thus, the moment Shimon saw both Gregory and Vickie, he went over immediately.
“You guys are here.”
Gregory kept his sharp gaze on the people in the hall, with a calm and cool face.
Vickie said with a deep voice, “We came here as planned. Shouldn’t you guys fulfill your promise and tell us the truth now?”
Shimon did not beat around the bush with them.
He brought them to meet Louis Flinders straight away.
Louis Flinders was someone Gregory and Vickie had previously heard of but had never met before.
As they met him today, they realized he was just like any other ordinary elderly person.
Louis smiled and said, “Since you guys are here, just follow me.”
Both of them froze.
They initially thought Louis Flinders wanted to meet them and that was why the Flinders family put so much effort into getting both of them to be here.
However by the looks of it now, there was someone behind the scenes?
Both of them looked at each other silently and followed him in.
The banquet was held on an island. There was an exotic traditional building on the island and everyone was in it.
At the moment, everyone was at the hall in front whereas Louis brought both of them all the way to the back garden. They walked through man-made hills, water features and pavilions. After walking for about ten minutes, they stopped outside the entrance of a quiet and elegant gate.
Louis knocked on the door and respectfully said, “Master, they are here.”
Gregory and Vickie were shocked. Master? Which Master?
Before they could even think, the gate opened slightly. A voice cold as ice could be heard from the inside.
“Come on in.”
Louis stopped at the entrance and gave them space. He pointed inside and said, “Please enter.”
Vickie and Gregory looked at each other. They were in disbelief and a huge shock could be seen in their eyes.
In public, in terms of underground influence, the Flinders had the longest history. Even an extremely wealthy family was not up to par with them. It could be said that at least half of the economy in the world was influenced by this family.
Initially, it looked like Louis Flinders was the supreme leader of the family, but now, it turned out that there was a bigger influence that had been hidden.
Vickie suddenly remembered her analysis with Gregory not long ago.
He once said that the Flinders family had not been acting the same way. A lot of matters did not appear to have been handled the way Louis Flinders would usually go about them. Perhaps there was another decision-maker within the Flinders.
At that time, she took it as a joke and just listened. However, it seemed like he actually got it right!
Both of them were still carrying their shock when they walked through the gate.
The yard was not large but it was maintained really elegantly. Anyone would feel as though they walked into paradise.
The middle gravel road was covered with cobblestones. Both sides of the cobbled road were filled with exotics plants and flowers.
Vickie could subtly recognize a few and some species were actually rare. They were thought to have gone extinct many years ago, so she could not believe they were found here!
Being able to see these plants was more surprising than seeing any gold or silver mountains.
