"The boss's happiness is truly incomprehensible!!"
Lu Tong and others twitched their mouths as they looked at their golden-white wine bottles coiled like dragons. Damn it, one bottle cost 100,000. If you add the 38,888 dishes, this table alone would cost nearly 140,000. Calculating it this way, the boss's engagement banquet had thirty tables, costing over four million, and this didn't even include the later addition of the Dragon's Eye white wine.
It's worth noting that a bottle of Dragon's Eye vodka like this would far from satisfy the demands of those heavy drinkers.
Not only Lu Tong and the others, but Luo Mingtian and Su Dongmei's eyelids twitched. Damn it, their son-in-law was extraordinarily extravagant. The more he was like this, the more they became apprehensive and respectful of their son-in-law.
That's right, respect!
It was respect from their cheap mother-in-law and father-in-law. If outsiders knew, their eyeballs would surely shatter.
However, it didn't stop there.
As everyone dined and savored the Dragon's Eye vodka, led by Zhao Qigang himself, a foreigner wearing a chef's hat was by his side. Judging by the foreigner's refined attire, it was clear he was an extremely accomplished pastry master.
This foreign chef's name was Jaden. His background was naturally extraordinary; he was the chief chef of the Eagle Kingdom's royal court, and his exquisite culinary skills were deeply loved by the Eagle Kingdom's royal family.
As for why Jaden traveled thousands of miles to Tianhai this time, it was all for Ye Xuan. After all, although few people knew that Ye Xuan was currently the Duke behind the scenes of the Duchy of Best, it wasn't that no one knew. Coincidentally, Prince William, the second prince of the Eagle Kingdom, happened to know about it.
The reason William knew about this was because Count Rops was William's maternal uncle.
It was on Rops's suggestion that William dispatched Jaden to travel day and night from the Eagle Kingdom to Tianhai. Of course, it wasn't to make a cake, but to use this opportunity to get acquainted with Ye Xuan.
At this moment, behind the two were several other chefs. Of course, the most striking was the nine-tiered engagement cake, nearly two meters tall.
The value of this cake alone was no less than 300,000. Of course, if you added Jaden's status as the chief chef of the Eagle Kingdom's royal court, the value of this cake would at least double or triple.
They raised their glasses, chatted, and laughed heartily.
Especially the heads of various families, who rarely gathered together. They began to converse with each other, brokering countless business deals between their respective families.
Meanwhile, at a corner of the banquet.
Luo Mingtian and Su Dongmei looked at the prominent figures of Tianhai and the heads of various families everywhere, their hearts in their throats, never relaxing.
"Old Luo, this... am I dreaming?"
Su Dongmei looked at the banquet hall in a daze. The heads of these many families here showed no hint of their authoritative demeanor; they were all gentle and refined. However, Su Dongmei knew very well that any one of them could make their Luo family vanish in an instant with a stomp of their foot.
But it wasn't Su Dongmei's fault for being like this, after all... she had never seen such a scene.
"Gulp~"
Luo Mingtian also swallowed hard. The shock in his heart was no less than Su Dongmei's, even more so. Hearing Su Dongmei's words, Luo Mingtian couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Dreaming?"
"I wish it were a dream."
"After all..."
As he said this, Luo Mingtian looked at the heads of the many families, lost in thought. "Even in a dream, I wouldn't dare to imagine this scene."
"The more it is like this... the more it shows how terrifying Ye Shao, our calamity of a son-in-law, is."
Luo Mingtian licked his lips, clearly the scene before him had also impacted him greatly. On the other hand, Ye Xuan's parents were chatting and laughing with the heads of various families, truly living up to the saying, ignorance is bliss.
Of course, in the eyes of Ye Xuan's parents, although these people were extraordinary, they were definitely business partners of their son, so they naturally treated them as equals.
If the old couple knew that the people they were chatting with were all renowned big figures of Tianhai, who knew if they would break out in a cold sweat? However, they would never imagine how successful their son was.
Luo Mingtian and Su Dongmei were different. Seeing their in-laws' calm expressions made their mouths twitch and their eyelids jump incessantly. Especially when they saw the leaders of the three top families, their hearts ached for them.
Ye Xuan's parents were extremely happy, and even Ye Pengyue and Ye Pengyu's entire family benefited. Although they didn't know what kind of influential figures or family heads they were talking to, they were happy.
As the banquet progressed, Ye Xuan was meeting someone in the Junlin Wine Building.
This person was none other than Prince William of the Eagle Kingdom. The public affectionately called him Prince William. At the moment, Prince William was handsome, several times more so than the current popular young idols, but beneath his handsomeness lay a well-contained heroism and decisiveness.
"Mr. Ye Xuan, I apologize for the abruptness of my first visit. I hope you will not be offended."
Prince William knew from his uncle that the person before him was extraordinary, so he dared not be presumptuous and maintained a respectful attitude.
"Prince William, I am deeply honored that you could attend my engagement ceremony."
Ye Xuan looked at Prince William before him and, indeed, he bore some resemblance to Rops. Ye Xuan had been forewarned by Rops's phone call yesterday, so he wasn't surprised by Prince William's visit.
"You are Rops's nephew, the current second prince of the Eagle Kingdom's royal family, William, aren't you?"
Ye Xuan looked at William in the room without much emotion. Although he was a royal prince, Ye Xuan didn't consider him much. If he wanted to destroy the Eagle Kingdom's royal family, it would be as simple as flipping his hand, though there might be some unexpected trouble.
Seeing Ye Xuan's expression, Prince William couldn't help but think more highly of him. "Mr. Ye Xuan has sharp eyes."
"I believe my uncle has also told you about the current situation of our Eagle Kingdom's royal family. My elder brother, Prince Puer, is utterly wicked and poisoned our father, holding him under house arrest in the royal palace. He didn't even announce his death to the public. If Mr. Ye Xuan could lend me a hand in eliminating Prince Puer, our Eagle Kingdom's royal family will be eternally grateful!"
Prince William directly revealed his trump card, as the crisis facing the Eagle Kingdom's royal family was urgent, and his mother was still in the palace, leaving him no room for delay.
"Since Mr. Ye Xuan is a Duke of the Duchy of Best and also my uncle's respected superior, if Mr. Ye Xuan can help our Eagle Kingdom's royal family overcome this tribulation, Mr. Ye Xuan will forever be the most honored benefactor of our Eagle Kingdom's royal family. After I ascend the throne, I will certainly grant Mr. Ye Xuan the noble title of Duke, with all the rights enjoyed by a Duke within the Eagle Kingdom."
He paused and then continued, clenching his fist. "To be frank, Mr. Ye Xuan, a few days ago, I received intelligence that that beast Puer has colluded with the United States, and he has gathered many powerful figures from the Temple of Light by his side. If Mr. Ye Xuan is unwilling to help, William will not blame you..."
"Prince William? You are quite candid."
Ye Xuan smiled slightly. He hadn't expected the Temple of Light to be involved here. "Since you are Rops's nephew, I will help you this once. As for the Temple of Light, I guess some people will have murderous intentions again upon hearing this."
As he spoke, Ye Xuan's mind flashed with the image of Lin Feng. The scene that followed would cause the Temple of Light to suffer a blow ten times more painful than Leng Feiyan's defection.
