Everyone was shocked to see the mayor of Dorodo, Quentin, attending tonight’s fundraising gala without any bodyguards but only his daughter, just like Jagoan said.
After all, Quentin was the head of the city. He always had more than one bodyguard with him wherever he went!
However, because Jagoan was the host of the gala and the invitation stated that he was allowed to bring only one guest, Quentin brought no bodyguards and only his daughter Shania.
His action spoke louder than any words!
Shania blushed and held her father’s arm tightly.
Quentin only raised his hand and coughed before leading his daughter forward and saying to all the guests, “Commander Jagoan’s right. The city defense army’s main camp is Dorodo’s military stronghold. It‘s not supposed to let too many outsiders in. That’s why the invitation restricted the number of guests. As mayor, I must take the lead in respecting Commander Jagoan’s decision. After all, it’s for the sake of Dorodo’s safety.”
Once Quentin spoke, all the guests nodded in agreement.
“Yes, yes. This is the city defense army’s main camp. How can you just let anyone in?”
“We should have done what Commander Jagoan wanted. Commander Jagoan has given us a lot of face by letting us come to the main camp that we normally can’t come to.”
“Yes, the invitation states that we can only bring one guest at most. We all did it. Who are these three young gentlemen to bring bodyguards?”
The three heirs, Lionel, Solomon, and Nathan instantly looked ghastly pale when so many people stood up for Jagoan and the city defense army.
They thought their enemies were only Jagoan and the city defense army, but now that so many people were opposing them, what could they do?
What else could they say?
Whatever they did and said was wrong!
“Young Master Walker, Young Master Stewart, and Young Master Lambert, what do you have to say now?” Jagoan asked as he looked coldly at Lionel, Solomon, and Nathan.
After glancing at each other, Lionel waved his hand and said, “Okay, since Commander Jagoan doesn’t welcome us, let’s leave! Young Master Stewart and Young Master Lambert, let’s go!”
Just then, Jagoan suddenly raised his hand and shouted, “Stop! The city defense army‘s main camp isn’t a place you can come and go as you like!”
