After that, Leo Ray and his group didn’t linger and went straight back to the luxurious reception room they had been in earlier.
Thud thud thud.
Just as Leo Ray sat down on the soft velvet sofa and took a few sips of hot tea, the door to the room suddenly knocked gently.
“Come in.”
With Leo Ray’s permission, Kelsey entered the room, holding the arm of a middle-aged powerhouse who exuded an extraordinary aura.
Upon closer inspection, the middle-aged man had a strong and sturdy build, a dignified and resolute face, and was dressed in a light gray brocade robe that fit him well.
Between his coarse eyebrows, he revealed a sense of free-spiritedness and boldness, looking quite imposing and righteous.
“Sir… this is my father, the chairman of the Sanders’ Trading Conference in Viennas City!”
Kelsey stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Leo Ray as her crisp voice introduced him.
As the time was not right, under Leo’s instruction,
Kelsey had not revealed the true identity of the people in their party, only saying that they were nobles from a remote area brought by Linda.
“I am Gael Sanders, and I am grateful for Your Excellency’s great help to our Sanders collateral branch!”
Following that, Gael, the middle-aged powerhouse, raised his calloused hand in a fist and expressed his gratitude to Leo Ray.
At this moment, Gael’s mood was filled with a myriad of thoughts.
From Kelsey’s brief introduction before entering the door, he already knew that
this indifferent young man not only brought a perfect victory for the struggle between himself and the main branch,
but, most surprisingly, he saw his willful and wayward beloved daughter display such respect and proper etiquette!
It should be known that even when she had met the City Lord, this rascal girl would mostly just perfunctorily pay a courteous bow.
Additionally, with his Tier 4 three-Star strength, he sensed that besides this indifferent young man himself being at the Tier 3 Senior Powerhouses, the other followers by his side were mostly Tier 3 Peak Powerhouses.
As for the burly man with the largest build, even he could not see through him at all.
Thus, it could be seen that if this burly man did not use any means to hide his aura, his strength was undoubtedly above Gael’s.
In short, no matter from which aspect, this indifferent young man in front of him was by no means an ordinary person!
Thinking about this, Gael, the Tier 4 powerhouse, showed a hint of barely visible admiration in his determined eyes.
“Master Gael is too polite.”
On the other side, rising to his feet and politely returning the gesture, Leo Ray smiled faintly and continued, “I just did what I could because of my relationship with Linda.”
“Linda, thank you for coming in time this time, otherwise, I’m afraid the position of chairman of the Viennas City Branch would have really changed hands.”
After nodding to Leo Ray first, Gael smiled at Linda next to Leo Ray and then sighed lightly, “I have also heard about the difficulties you faced at the Cyan Town Branch during the previous family conference.
Initially, Kelsey and I had planned to give part of the profits from the Viennas City Branch to you guys to help you tide over the difficulties.
However, those direct descendants were really too vigilant, and with this recent incident, I hope Linda won’t take it to heart.””Uncle Gael, you are too serious.”
Linda smiled at Gael, her delicate face not showing any resentment, and waved her hand, saying, “Since I was young, you have taken great care of me.
Otherwise, as a side branch with limited power in the family, I wouldn’t have achieved what I have today. After all, you bear the responsibility of protecting many other side branch members and must consider the overall situation.”
“Ah, it’s just because your father and mother died too early in battle, otherwise, this burden wouldn’t have fallen upon me.”
Helplessly shaking his head, Gael first smiled bitterly and then expressed his gratitude to Leo Ray, “But now, with the assistance of this promising young man, I believe the fate of our side branches will change as well.”
“Master Gael is too kind. Because I have a good relationship with Linda, I will naturally do my best to help you all change your position within the family.”
Leo Ray smiled slightly, took a sip of tea, and continued, “So in the future, there will be many intersections between us. I hope you will be patient with me, Master Gael.”
“Your Excellency is too modest. If you need my help in the future, just let me know. I don’t even know how to repay you for the great favor of providing so many auction items.”
Gael laughed heartily and then glanced helplessly at Kelsey beside him, saying,
“Also, if my daughter offends Your Excellency in any way, please forgive her.”
“Master Gael, there’s no need to be so polite.”
Putting down the empty teacup that still had some warmth, Leo Ray continued to smile, “Kelsey’s candid and straightforward temperament is quite likable.”
At this point, Leo Ray paused for a moment, a sharp light in his eyes, and said, “By the way, as for our movements, I hope Master Gael will keep them a secret and not mention them to anyone.”
“Please rest assured, Your Excellency, I know what to do.” Gael nodded knowingly, without hesitation, and replied.
“Alright then, we won’t impose on you any further, Mr. Gael.”
With a faint smile, Leo Ray stood up from the sofa, moving his slightly stiff neck and saying, “Next, Kelsey will accompany us, taking advantage of the time before the auction begins to stroll around Viennas City.”
Without a doubt, since Serena and Stella were still on their way, and Scarlett and Bianca White were also outside
So, Leo Ray could not stay here for long.
“Understood, then we’ll see you at the auction.”
Gael, who also stood up, said with a smile, “Anyway, we really appreciate Your Excellency’s help this time.”
“We have a long journey ahead, and I hope the side branch members of the Sanders family will flourish.”
With that, under Gael’s farewell, Leo Ray led his subordinates out of the guest room.
So, having bid farewell to Gael, those who put on their Illusion Cloaks again left the Sanders’ Trading Conference, blending into the bustling crowd on the streets.
Of course, in order to avoid attracting attention, Kelsey also disguised herself through illusion.
However, from the slightly awkward way she walked, it was obvious that she was not accustomed to it yet.
Next, after reuniting with Scarlett and Bianca White, who were squatting in a corner of the street, eating various roasted meat skewers happily, face to face.
Leo Ray instructed Linda to go to the city gate to meet the arriving Serena and Stella.
Just as everything was completed, and Leo Ray was about to lead his subordinates to a quieter place to rest for a while.
A sudden commotion appeared among the coming and going crowds at the street corner ahead..
