Supreme Mars
Chapter 167 The Henderson Family's Provocation
The next day, Nadine drove Leo to the upper city, so they arrived at the Nicholson family at noon.
The upper city was the more prosperous side of Emerdale. It was also a place where the first-class families gathered. The Ford family and the Nicholson family were the most famous ones.
Unlike the newly promoted first-class families like the Ford family, the Nicholson family had been an old first-class family of Emerdale since a long time ago. Still, it had never been ranked among four prestigious families.
It was at noon. The gate of the Nicholson family was packed with people, and many luxury cars were parked in front of it. In contrast, Leo's Magotan was much more low-key.
When Leo and Nadine walked into the courtyard, they saw that the large manor was full of dining tables. All guests had arrived and were chatting happily.
"Young Master, the master of the Nicholson family, Roman, craved for greatness and success. The older he is, the more he loves ostentation. After he turned 60, he hosted a big party to invite all the families in Emerdale over every year. The bigger the party is, the happier he was."
Nadine whispered to him from behind.
Leo was silent for a while, and then his lips arched. "I hope he wouldn't ruin his 70th birthday by himself."
His idea was straightforward. He only wanted to get through this event smoothly, but if Roman insisted on picking a fight, he would have to fight back.
"Here, you loser!"
Suddenly, Leo heard a harsh sound.
He traced down the voice and saw Rebecca waving at him with a disdainful face.
Rebecca shouted so loudly that she immediately caught the attention of other presenters.
Someone looked at Leo in surprise. "I haven't met him before; which family is he from?"
"Maybe the Ford family."
Several young masters from the first-class families looked at Leo and whispered.
Nadine's eyes turned cold. She was about to speak, only to be stopped by Leo. The two of them sat down in the Ford family's place.
Just by then, a young man, maybe in his twenties, came over and asked with a smile, "Mr. Ford, if he is one of your family, why did he come alone instead of coming with you? Don't you like him?"
