“Now, I’d like to propose a toast! Hector raised his glass, swept his gaze over all the quests, and downed his drink. In response, everyone stood and raised their glass to toast in return.
After some small talk, it was time for the gift–giving segment. “Mr. Harmon, here are some golden horses that I forged with my own hands. I wish you nothing but success in life!”
“Mr. Harmon, this crystal necklace once belonged to an ancient king. I hope you like it.”
“Mr. Harmon, this painting is an authentic masterpiece by Pikasso. It’s truly a priceless treasure. That being said, I wish you the best of health and a lifetime full of smiles ahead!”
One by one, the guests stepped up with their gifts in hand, offering their heartfelt birthday. wishes. There were numerous rich and respected people among them, and this gift–giving segment was also a subtle display of comparison and competition.
The one with the rarest and most expensive gift got to show off. They could display their power and foster closer connections with the Harmons. Thus, each gift, consisting of precious treasures or rare items, was carefully chosen. Not to mention, a lot of them couldn’t be bought with money alone.
Thank you, everyone, for your kind thoughts.” Hector smiled, responding to all the people who had presented him with a gift.
As the room was filled with a joyous atmosphere, a loud voice suddenly rang out, “The Grant family has arrived!”
Instantly, all eyes turned toward the entrance. Under everyone’s gaze, a tall, handsome man strutted in with huge strides with a servant in tow. His face was cold, and his gaze was razor- sharp. He gave off a terrifying aura–his entire body was radiating with an intense desire to kill.
All the guests shuddered, not daring to face him directly.
“Tyler Grant? It’s actually Tyler Grant?!”
“Oh my god! Who would’ve thought that the Harmons were so respected? Even General Lionheart, Tyler Grant, personally showed up to celebrate!”
When the guests caught sight of the newcomer, they instantly burst into chatter.
Who in the South Province didn’t know Tyler’s name? He was widely regarded as a legendary figure. He hadn’t even hit thirty yet, but he was already fraternizing with the high–ranking officials and commanded a massive army.
In the entire South Province, he was the best of the best. No one could come close to him, leaving any other genius in his shadow. For someone like him, no matter where he went, everyone kissed the ground he walked on !
“As expected of the number one prodigy of the South Province and the top of the Ten Princes! He’s so handsome!” Zoey’s eyes sparkled, and her heart began to flutter.
In front of Tyler, Dylan and Patrick weren’t even worth mentioning! The man before them was the true prince!
“He’s finally here.” Natasha narrowed her eyes slightly as her pretty face turned serious. She knew that this matter had to end today.
“Tyler, now that you’re here, please take a seat.” Hector stood up to welcome him, smiling as though nothing had happened.
“No need,” Tyler responded with indifference. “I came here today not to celebrate your birthday but to claim my bride. I want to marry Natasha Hamon!”
As he spoke, he made a few gestures with his hands. With that, eight people carried a large red carriage into the room.
