Power of Money -
Chapter 763
After listening to Bodhi's explanation in a low voice, Jason couldn't help but be stunned.
He did not expect that the bodyguard beside Kong Xin was from the Long family, one of the Gu family!
Wei, Ying, Long, and Yun.
The Long Family's reputation was far above that of the Yun Family.
However, since Long Wu had already started her own business many years ago, then what happened to her should have nothing to do with the Long family.
Compared to the Auger, the Auger that followed the Auger was much more unremarkable.
He was also in his 30s, wearing a plain black suit. Except for a cross-shaped scar on his eyes, he was not very eye-catching. He looked a bit like a red-dragon follower.
"This is the red dragon..."
Seeing that the red dragon actually appeared on such occasion today, Jason sighed slightly.
This was the first time he saw the true face of the red dragon. However, it was unknown how many times the two of them had fought in private. Moreover, most of the time, the red dragon had the upper hand. He had thought that it was some kind of fiendish female devil. Now that he had seen her today, it was quite a good sight.
After the appearance of two of the Four Great Protectors, they left the Dragongathering Hall and sat behind the four armchairs in the hall.
The eight remaining dragon heads of the Kong Family were right next to him.
In the battle of Jade Mountain in the Nandu, in addition to the six dragon heads who died there and the one who was now locked up in the coastal base, there were only eight people left of the eighteen dragon heads in the Kong Family, which made people tremble with fear!
They were all middle-aged people in their fifties.
He walked out side by side and continued to stand behind the four transactions.
Galen, Samar, and Kong Buyu also came out one after another.
They did not sit down. Instead, they stood on the side of the armchair, as if waiting for someone.
Finally, in the public's eyes, Kong Xin, the Third Lord of the Kong Family, who was supposed to be absent from the banquet because of his illness, went to the rostrum in a Chinese suit. He was holding a dragon's head crutch and the moon among the stars.
On the grassy area, the guests on the table all stood up and gave the warmest applause.
The scene was too grand!
With the help of the three ambitious people, Lord Zachary walked step by step to the wooden armchair. He stood where he was and accepted the applause from the audience.
"Not bad, not bad..." Kong Xin stands where he is. Even though he is the oldest here, his old eyes are still arrogant as they sweep indifferently across the entire place!
All of a sudden, the place became quiet!
Jason looked at this well-known king of the underground world of Celestial Empire and found that he didn't look like a 85-year-old man at all. He had white beard and hair, but his glasses were bright and full of wrinkles, and there were no tiny senile spots on his face.
He looked like a sage.
What's more, the aura he exuded was not fierce at all, which made people feel that he was kind and amiable, and extremely approachable. He stood there, and after the applause ended, he arched his hands and made a series of salute to all the guests, "I'm so sorry to shorten my life. It's really my honor to have you to celebrate my birthday with me today. I'm so grateful. Please have a seat."
All the guests laughed and sat down on chairs one after another.
Rhett Ko sat on the armchair in a steady manner, so did Galen, Samar, and Kong Buyu. Three of the four armchairs were full of people, but the one sitting at the far end was still empty. No one knew who was left in the armchair.
"I didn't expect that you would send out so many invitations. And all of you came to Capital City thousands of miles away to celebrate my birthday in the Polygon Pavilion for me. It's really a pity that you can stil see this scene in your lifetime..."
After Master Ko the Third took his seat, he looked at the guests in the front row one by one.
The four clan leaders of the four major families in Capital City were all present.
David of the Shens from the Shan City in the Nandu was in the central position.
There were also the most outstanding young disciples of the Four Great Clans behind him....
When he saw Bodhi, the smile on his face grew even wider. "Look, our little niece has come to visit me today. Haha, she's trying to stick gold to my face!"
"It's very kind of you, Grandpa Kong. My father has important matters to attend to abroad, so he can't personally come here, which is why he specially reminded me to congratulate you on your birthday. He also told you that your life would be as long as that of the southern mountains and the East Sea!" Li Xi said with a smile.
Rhett Ko looked at Jason and Lara behind him again and asked curiously, "Who is this?"
"Grandpa Kong, this is Colton, the youngest son of the He Family in Plant City. The one behind him is Lara, the young lady of the Jin Family. She is under orders and has come specially to celebrate your birthday." Li Subhuti explained with a smile.
"Oh, it's Carney"!" Rhett Ko's face changed slightly. He had naturally heard of Carney'.
Besides, in his eyes, a figure like Carney' was more respected than Culver.
"It's my great honor to have you attend my birthday party. After the party is over, you can stay here and have a good chat with me. I'd love to hear about my dad," Rhett Ko said with a smile. He didn't care about Lara at all.
"Grandpa Kong, you're too polite." Jason smiled as a response.
After wandering around in society for such a long time, Jason had a list of people.
People who appeared to be fierce were not terrible. At least they would make things look like they were on the surface and fight with real weapons. They knew which part of the spear should be fired. The most terrifying people are people like Kong Xin.
Jason could not forget it until now. More than a decade ago, when a family rose in the southwest, and the family only wanted to stay in Capital City, Kong Xin, the Rhett Ko, who seemed to be harmonious, died miserably in the dark overnight, the bodies piled up in the well heads, and the walls were dyed red with blood...
However, as soon as Jason said this, he saw David sitting in front of him from the corner of his eye and shook his head slightly.
It seemed that he wanted to look back, but he stopped because he didn't know what his mind was.
Jason knew that his voice must have been recognized by his father.
After all, no one knew his son better than his father. If he couldn't even hear his son's voice, then David, the chairman of the board, also didn't live up to his name.
After greeting the two rows of guests in front of him, Third Lord Kong raised his head and said coldly, "I was so flattered and grateful to all of you when I was dying. But you must know that I came here from the hospital, dragging half of my body. I'm sure you've heard the reason. The warehouse No. 13 of the Kong Family was destroyed, and warehouse No. 7 and No. 12 was also burned to the ground yesterday. Of course, money was just an extra thing. At my age, more than half of my body was buried. I don't care much about it. It's just that my brothers from the Kong Family didn't live to attend today's birthday party. So they chose me, step by step, to the netherworld, and to the netherworld, to meet the ancestors..."
