Soon, everyone lined up to enter the venue, and the luxury


    cars in the za there stood out and attracted many an


    inte celebrity to either snap some pictures or do a live


    broadcast.


    Severin went in with the Shanahans, and everyone was either savoring some wine or enjoying some


    pastries in the lobby before the ceremony officially began. Some chatted with their business partners,


    while others struck up a conversation with the children of some upper-ss families.


    Another first-tier upper-ss family, the Znkos, were in attendance as well. The daughter of the


    Znkos, Robin Znko, looked at Severin and could not help herself from frowning. She then said to


    her father, “Dad, isn’t that guy over there Diane’s man?”


    “That he is,” answered her father, Harvin Znko. “Why are you suddenly interested in him?”

    “I heard that Stanley Shanahan invited Charmaine Longhorn to a meal some days ago because he


    wanted to secure a quota, but his request had been categorically rejected. However, the Shanahans


    seemed to have secured that quota, and it was reserved well ahead of today’s event too. I’m guessing


    that Diane’s man was the one who helped obtain that quota from the Shanahans!” Robin then


    exined.


    Harvin nced at Severin from afar. “Are you saying that there’s this kid has some sort of special


    connection with the Longhorns?”


    There was a knowing sh in Robin’s eyes as the corners of his mouth curled up a little. “It’s more than


    just a ‘special


    connection’. I have the feeling that they’re even trying to curry favor with him!”


    “How is it possible that the Longhorns are the ones trying to curry favor with him? Hehe, even if he


    saved Henry Longhorn,


    the favor that the old man owed to him should have been


    repaid long ago. Why would he still have to curry favor with that kid?” Harvin smiled faintly and felt that


    his daughter was reading too much into the situation.


    However, Robin said, “I was just in front of them when they came in, and I saw that they had two


    invitation letters in their hands, both of which had golden font. Think about it, Dad. Our family managed


    to get only one of the prearranged quotas, so how did the Shanahans manage to get two?”


    “They have two prearranged quotas?” Harvin had a look of surprise on his face when he heard that


    because that would mean that the Longhorns have ced more importance on the Shanahans


    compared to the Znkos.


    For the record, the rtionship between the Znkos and the Longhorns was rtively good, hence


    the reason the Znkos were given a prearranged quota that had a rtively good


    location and was rtivelyrge in terms of area.


    “Yes! That’s what I saw.” Robin nodded. “That got me


    thinking, why are the Longhorns trying so hard to please Severin? What could be so special about


    him?”


    After Harvin gave it some more thought, he nodded and said, ‘ Let’s make a point not to offend Severin


    from now on. We ought to try out best to establish a good rtionship with them if we can help it. There


    has to be an exnation for the Longhorns’ actions. They couldn’t have just given out two prearranged


    quotas for no good reason!”


    “Ah, my savior!” At that moment, a sharp yell was heard and drew everyone’s attention over.


    “What’s going on? The Bards from Brookbourn Mansion are here!”


    Harvin nced over and was surprised to discover that She had arrived along with the rest of the


    Bards. Even Zachariah, the head of their family, had shown up.


    She was very bursting with excitement as she trotted to Severin and hugged him gleefully. “Ah, we


    meet again, my savior! Didn’t you say you’ll give me your phone number if we meet again? Well, here I


    am meeting you again!”
