He had no interest in the ball or anything like that. Besides, not only did he have no interest, he hated it.
In his opinion, balls were wasteful and meaningless events.
However, the mayor of Dorodo, Quentin Lewis, gave Dorodo’s city defense army 500 million dollars a year, so they had to attend his daughter’s ball.
The city defense army had two main sources of income.
One was a grant from Dragon Kingdom, and the other was support from the mayor. Therefore, they had to attend the ball.
“The ball is tomorrow night. I’ll be there, and you three should prepare to do Mayor Quentin a favor by supporting him. Of course, I assume you know what to say and what not to say at the ball.”
Wesley, Gregory, and Anthony nodded at Alder’s words.
“Can I bring my family?” Wesley asked suddenly.
“Do you want to take your son to the dance?” Alder asked immediately.
Quentin‘s daughter, Shania Lewis, was 18 years old and had just come of age. She was not old enough to marry in Dragon Kingdom but old enough to get married in the City-State Union.
Wesley asked if he could bring his family. Perhaps he wanted to bring his son over and set up the two youths.
The old fox Wesley was indeed smart. He was trying to get in touch with Mayor Quentin through his son.
If Wesley’s son, George, did become Quentin’s son-in-law, would his military career not go smoother?
Wesley instantly dared not say anything when facing Alder‘s sharp gaze.
