Claus Motley walked out from the back of the hall with a smile and greeted everyone, “Everyone, do excuse me for being late. I had to take care of some private matters.”
As Claus spoke, he was already standing next to the main seat.
Everyone nodded slightly to Claus.
After that, Claus did not sit on the main seat but smiled at everyone and said, “I’m not the host for tonight.”
Having said that, he stood on one side, looked at the door, and announced, “Let’s welcome Young Patriarch Clarke…”
Then, Philip walked in with Fennel and the others. Tonight, he wore a dark gray suit with shoes, looking handsome and imposing. Especially that pair of well-defined eyes with a faint chill that made everyone avert their eyes. This young man’s presence was too compelling.
Philip took his seat, and everyone looked at each other.
An old man with a walking cane spoke up at this moment, “We’ve long heard of Young Patriarch Clarke’s reputation. I didn’t expect you to be so young. You’re a young talent, indeed.”
After the old man finished speaking, others also followed and said, “We’ve long heard of Young Patriarch Clarke, but we wonder if we can see something amazing tonight.”
“Hehe, Dragon King Motley, don’t you think giving the main seat to a young man is out of his depth?”
“That’s right, Dragon King Motley. Tonight is the viewing party for the ancient sage’s secret treasure. Is he going to be the host instead of you?”
A group of people began to express their dissatisfaction, angry that Philip was sitting in the main seat.
On the side, Claus smiled and said, “Everyone, please calm down. Without Young Patriarch Clarke’s permission, this treasure appreciation party can’t go on tonight.”
“Hmph!” An old man from the Larson family snorted coldly and said, “Claus Motley, the secret treasure of the ancient sage belongs to the world. What right does a Clarke have to call it his own?”
Philip frowned and looked at the old man, feeling that he looked familiar.
