The Legendary Man novel Chapter 26

Chapter 26 Shameless

It was the head of the Blackwood family, Anderson Blackwood.

The moment he appeared, the guests in the hall gasped.

No one expected the argument between James and Harrison to have attracted Anderson’s attention.

Anderson’s exceptional status in both the Blackwood residence and Jadeborough was undeniable. In other words, other than the mayor of Jadeborough, no one was more powerful than he was.

The instant he appeared, the entire hall fell silent.

Even James, who was behaving haughtily a moment ago, lowered his head in acquiescence and greeted, “Mr. Blackwood!”

“Mm-hmm.”

With a wave of his hand, Anderson gestured for everyone to sit.

“Are you the head of the Blackwood family?” Jonathan could recognize the elderly man in a grey robe as the host of the birthday banquet.

“That’s right!”

After glancing at Jonathan, Anderson remarked, “I would be surprised if you didn’t know me, considering you’re at my birthday dinner.”

Sensing the mockery insinuated by Anderson, the crowd burst into hearty laughter as they looked at Jonathan with even greater contempt.

Weren’t you boasting about being some big shot just now? And that the Holler family didn’t have the right to throw you out? Now that Mr. Blackwood has appeared in person, let’s see how you continue with your charade!

“I do!”

Jonathan added indifferently, “However, I just knew who you were a few minutes ago.”

If it weren’t because of the Smith family, Jonathan wouldn’t have bothered with the Blackwood family even if they groveled in front of him.

“But, I don’t know you!” Anderson’s gaze turned cold. “Who are you? I don’t recall ever inviting you to the banquet.”

Not invited?

Anderson’s words caused an uproar in the hall.

How can someone who Mr. Blackwood doesn’t know attend his birthday banquet and brazenly sit at the most important table? How audacious can he be?

“It’s true that you didn’t invite me,” Jonathan admitted. After all, that was the truth, but he wasn’t there to attend the banquet.

“Since you’re not invited, why are you even here?” Anderson scoffed. “How did you even sneak in?”

“I was the one who brought him here!” Harrison declared, unable to resist any further.

“Harrison?” Anderson looked at Harrison quizzically. “You brought him here?”

“Yes!”

Harrison’s expression was grim.

“Since he is your guest, I will let the matter slide.” Anderson didn’t let the matter escalate further on Harrison’s account. After all, he still respected Harrison, and ejecting Jonathan from the banquet would be a slap in the face for the latter.

“However, given his status, I’m afraid it isn’t right for him to sit at this table.” Just as he spoke, Anderson shot Jonathan an icy glare. “Since this is your first time attending a Blackwood family banquet, I will forgive you once for not knowing the rules. But now, go back to where you’re supposed to sit. Your place isn’t at this table.”
