Chapter 882 It Only Takes One Shot to Kill You

More guests raced to the hotel entrance after hearing that the general had consented to attend the banquet, hoping to catch a sight of the general's splendor.

The spectacle was much more crowded and stunning than the preceding scene at the high-speed train station.

"Skylar? Why is he here? Who invited him?"

The Pearce family members' cheeks became pale as they saw Skylar and Yulia.

"Who could have invited him?" sneered Shirley. "He must have come to freeload."

"He has a thick skin!" "The Miller family organized this welcome banquet in an attempt to curry favor with the new general, but isn't it just to drive him out of Nirth?"

"He actually has the audacity to come for a meal; I'm not sure if his head got caught in the door."

Even if Skylar has formidable abilities, the Millers desired to gain favor with a provincial governor.

He not only had administrative authority, but he also had military authority over tens of thousands of stationed troops.

Even when Skylar's martial arts skills were at their zenith, he was still a human being.

Could he stand up to tens of thousands of local troops armed with loaded guns?

When they heard Shirley's statements, the heads of other families who had addressed Skylar behind Alejandro but were obliged to kneel and apologize also looked at Skylar with schadenfreude.

The more humiliated they felt that day at the listing ceremony, the more they despised Skylar.

"Look who it is!"

A playful voice came from the side at this point.

Everyone turned to see Rhett approaching, accompanied by his personal lawyer, Adriel.

"Skylar," Rhett sneered, "today is a banquet our Miller family is holding to welcome the General, and the General has agreed to attend."

"You showed up unexpectedly; are you planning a terrorist attack?"

Skylar would be classed as a terrorist if this charge were amplified.

The ramifications would be catastrophic.

Rhett was attempting to pin such a large hat on Skylar on purpose.

Who thought Skylar would giggle instead of becoming enraged and declaring, "A terrorist attack?" So you're saying the Millers don't want to see me at the welcoming dinner?"

"Nonsense!"

"Who do you think you are?" hissed Rhett. What qualifications do you need to attend a dinner to welcome the General?"

"Skylar, I warn you that on such an important occasion as today, no one will be fooled by your half-*ss ability." Get as far away from here as you can. You will be shot dead on the spot if you try to provoke the general!"

The new general would very certainly have armed security.

Rhett was convinced that no matter how brilliant Skylar's martial arts were, they couldn't stand up to the might of gunshots.

And he was certain Skylar would never attempt to defy a province governor.

Of course, Skylar would be more pleased if his head was truly jammed in the door and he insisted on taunting the new general.

The Millers wouldn't have to run around by then; the new general would take care of Skylar immediately.

Because he was confident, Rhett was really arrogant when he said this.

But Skylar remained calm; he didn't even look at Rhett.

He embraced Lola and tenderly remarked to Yulia, "Yulia, it appears that they didn't really invite us." Let's have dinner somewhere else."

"Sure, I just saw online that there's a nearby restaurant that does a fantastic job with hairy crabs." Let's go; I'm going to treat you to hairy crabs."

Yulia said, smiling.
