In the modern day, these mansions were even more inconspicuous.

However, they were inhabited by retired senior officials.

Despite being retired for many years, they still had extensive connections in the political world, and their influence was not to be underestimated.

Even the noble families would rack their brains to gain entry and socialize in this place.

At the entrance, there were specially equipped national guards on duty.

Eight guards stood like statues, exuding a chilling aura.

As the car from Mansion No.1 approached, the eight guards simultaneously saluted. "Whales, stop the car!" Kaden suddenly said.

The driver eased off the accelerator, gently pressed the brake, and lowered the window.

A guard immediately approached, saluting respectfully. "Sir, please give your instructions!" Kaden said, "We have many guests coming today, and we won't be turning anyone away!" The guard hesitated, "Sir... that's..."

Kaden knew he was concerned about safety. He smiled faintly. "You don't need to worry about my safety. Today's guests are from the Divine Strategy Squadron and the Celestial Dragon Squadron!" Hearing this, even the experienced guards could not help but widen their eyes.

Outsiders might not know about these two organizations, and even ordinary soldiers might not have heard of them.

However, as guards of the Shallowtail Villa District, they occasionally conversed with amiable figures during patrols.

This guard had heard of the Divine Strategy Squadron, known for their martial arts experts and even Espers.

As for the Celestial Dragon Squadron, the group was rarely mentioned.

However, since the top figure of the Shallowtail Villa District had spoken, he naturally would not object.

After saluting, he went to convey Kaden's message to the other guards.

The electronic retractable gate slowly opened, and the convoy entered the Shallowtail Villa District.

Kaden's residence was in the middle of all the villas.

The old courtyard covered an area of over 400 square meters.

White-painted walls surrounded it, with flowers and plants growing beneath them.

Today, the Shallowtail Villa District was bustling with activity.

A group of plainly dressed elderly people were setting up tables and chairs.

Darcus and Dima were among them.

They had never done this kind of household chores before, but now, they awkwardly carried a round table into the courtyard.

It was not only the Roche family. The heads of the six top-notch wealthy families in Munford had come as well.

They were normally accustomed to a life of luxury, yet they were now happily doing heavy chores.

Some even called for their daughters-in-law and daughters over to help wash vegetables.

They felt helpless too. After all, Kaden had personally invited them, and he was known for his integrity and occasional donations to disaster-stricken areas. His family's financial situation was not particularly affluent, so they had to keep the cost of the feast down to a level similar to that of a rural banquet.

Given Kaden's character, even if they wanted to contribute financially, they would not have such an opportunity. They could only come voluntarily to help before 6:00 am.

...

The convoy finally stopped outside.

Nash helped Kaden out of the car and walked into the courtyard.

Everyone put down what they were doing to greet them.

"Hello, General Copper..."

"General Copper..."

"Hello, everyone. Thank you for your hard work!"

Kaden smiled faintly. Everyone immediately replied with polite words like "It's nothing" or "It's what we should do."

In a corner of the courtyard, a temporary stove was set up. This resembled scenes from a rural banquet.

After greeting Kaden, Darcus and Dima also greeted Nash.

Nash looked at the two who were sweating profusely and nodded with a faint smile. "Thank you for your hard work." "It's nothing. It's what we should do!"

Darcus wiped away the sweat and said to Dima, "Let's continue moving tables!"

The two walked to the door and then stopped to let two other elderly people carrying tables pass.

These two were no ordinary individuals. They were the former governor and mayor of Munford.
