Chapter 1455: You Can Ask Me To Teach You
The little black room’s door was slowly shut, and everything in it was returned to its original position. Apart from a puddle of water that was slowly drying up in the corner, the cleaners who were going to come here to get their tools tomorrow wouldn’t find anything unusual.
Connie kept that hand-drawn map properly on her as she perplexedly asked Mag, “Boss, how did you know that he knew where my brother is locked up?”
She already knew what she was going to do when her sharp claws stabbed into that bastard’s heart.
“First, we can’t be sure this map is real. This may be a trap set by the other party when he knew he couldn’t escape, so we can’t believe it fully.
“Secondly, whatever he has said earlier was our actual purpose. If our rescue mission is a success and we manage to overthrow Gary’s rule, the stuff in this photostone will be the evidence of Gary’s crimes and allow you to gain the trust of your people quickly again.” Mag tossed the photostone to Connie.
This pervert does indeed bring photostones with him everywhere he goes! Camilla watched Connie catch the photostone, and was even more sure of her speculation.
Mag didn’t care about Camilla’s gaze, and continued to say to Connie, “However, since he could recognize you by your figure, I’m afraid you cannot go along with us even if we obtain the legal identities to go to the Falk Tribe. The mission will fail as soon as you’re recognized.”
“Mm-hm.” Connie nodded.
“Let’s go. The banquet should be starting soon.” Mag was the first to go downstairs. Music could already be heard from the banquet hall.
Flattering was naturally a part of the year-end celebration. The four major families that founded the Chamber of Commerce were lavishly praised before dishing out the awards to the individual businessmen who improved greatly in the past one year. The ambience was rather boisterous.
Mag sat in a corner and looked at this scene nonchalantly. He remembered the times when he was watching his family’s company’s year-end celebration in his mother’s arms, sitting in the very first row.
The company wasn’t big then, and there were no big celebrities at the celebration. His dad would even get up on stage to sing with his employees. The programs weren’t excellent, but it was warm with a human touch. The employees were the main characters.
After that, the show got bigger and bigger. The lights on stage resembled those from a concert, and A-list singers were invited to perform. The ambiance was boisterous, but the year-end celebration no longer seemed to be about the employees, and he had never taken part in it again.
“Father, do you want to try this fruit? It tastes sweet and sour, and is super delicious. Furthermore, the teeth would become purplish-red after eating it.” Amy ran over to Mag with a small fruit plate and smiled widely, revealing a row of purplish-red teeth.
“Look at your purplish-red teeth.” Mag chuckled as he looked at the pea-sized purplish-black berries that resembled blueberry on the small fruit plate. Before he could reach out for it, Amy already grabbed one, and fed it to him on her tiptoes.
Mag opened his mouth to accept the berry. The thin skin burst when he bit down lightly, and the sourish sweet taste blossomed. Its texture and taste was in between a grape and a blueberry. It was really rather delicious.
“Isn’t it very nice?” Amy asked expectantly.
“Mm-hm. It’s sourish-sweet and indeed very nice.” Mag nodded with a smile as he patted Amy’s head. “Go and play. Don’t run around and knock into people.”
“Mm-hm. Then I will leave this plate of berries here for you.” Amy nodded obediently, and placed the small fruit plate onto the table in front of Mag before skipping away.
“This little one.” Mag’s gaze followed Amy until she joined her little friends. Gina had already taken up the role of the children’s playmate now. She was playing with the children who followed their parents to the banquet. He could see that she really adored kids.
“Let’s talk about our terms. What can I do to make you stop pestering my Miss Gloria?” Camilla asked in a low voice, sitting across from him.
“There’s nothing between us. You cannot say otherwise to tarnish our reputation,” Mag replied calmly, tossing a berry into his mouth.
“Do you think I will believe you when you say that?” Camilla rolled her eyes.
“That would be up to you. Go and pursue her if you really like her. If you don’t even have that courage, what’s the point of attacking your imaginary enemy? You can ask me to teach you if you don’t know how to.” Mag smiled.
“Ha, I don’t need you to teach me. She will be mine soon or later!” Camilla snorted and turned her head around.
She did want to pursue her, but her earlier actions seemed to have frightened Gloria. Not only did it not have any positive effects, it even pushed her toward Mag.
Even though she turned her face to the other side, her gaze couldn’t help looking at Mag as she secretly wondered, Although this fellow is a little perverted, he seems to be rather attractive to women. Perhaps he really has some secret techniques? If l learned them, would I be able to change Miss Gloria’s opinion about me?
“I thank all members for their support and contribution to the Chamber of Commerce in the past year. It allowed the Chamber to enjoy a great business reputation throughout the continent. I also wish everyone a wealthy and prosperous new year.” Jeffree gave a concluding speech for the awards ceremony as the president of the Chamber of Commerce.
There was a warm applause from the audience. Most of the members present were beaming and proud.
Jeffree was about to get off the stage after giving his speech.
“Please wait a minute, President!” Cyril, who was seated close to the center of the stage, got up, walked onto the stage, and said to Jeffree, “Today’s the Chamber of Commerce’s year-end celebration, and according to the Chamber’s regulations, we can hold a board members’ meeting if we have important matters to discuss, right?”
Jeffree looked at Cyril with slightly furrowed brows.
All the audience’s gazes were also fixed on Cyril. Apart from the board members, the normal members present had no idea what Cyril wanted to do. He actually wanted to call for a board members’ meeting.
“As one of the Chamber of Commerce’s board members, I believe Board Member Gloria, who was recently promoted, isn’t suitable to be a board member. Neither her qualifications nor abilities were sufficient to be the Chamber’s board member, and her previous promotion wasn’t discussed and voted on by the board members, so I suspect it for noncompliance,” Cyril said to Jeffree loudly. “Hence, I suggest that the president calls for a board meeting now and votes to decide if Gloria should continue to be a board member of the Chamber. If more than half of the votes are against her, in accordance with the constitution of the board, we should immediately rescind her board member’s position.”
The banquet hall descended into a complete silence as all the guests stared at the father and son duo on the stage with shocked expressions.
