“Mister Valerian, here’s an invitation card from our family. I hope you’ll join us for a meal at our home


    and allow us to be your host for a few days!” Zachariah bowed immediately and handed over his


    invitation card. He felt a little nervous at that moment because he was the leader of Brookbourn


    Mansion, the biggest force among many big forces there. By convention, Valerian ought to ept his


    invitation, and staying with them for a day or sharing a meal with them was a form of recognition, and it


    would bring much pride to Brookbourn Mansion. It would therefore be very embarrassing if Valerian did


    not ept his invitation card but instead epted the invitation cards from other families.


    Fortunately, Valerian stretched out his hand to take the invitation card after being stunned momentarily.


    “I’ll have to trouble you to y host then. I will probably be staying in Brookbourn for a few days!”


    “It is our pleasure, Mister Valerian! And thank you!” Zachariah was so ecstatic that he almost forgot


    what to say. Even his voice was trembling slightly. She, who was standing beside him, was extremely


    happy too.


    “Why are you still kneeling? Please do get up!” Valerian chuckled before continuing to follow Zachariah


    forward. As they were walking over, everyone began stretching out their hands to offer their invitation


    cards even though they were stopped by the bodyguards.


    Valerian smiled faintly. He had no issues epting all those invitations, but whether or not he would


    visit their houses for dinner was another matter. After thinking for a moment, he asked Zachariah softly,


    “Which ones are first-tier upper-ss families? I’ll take some of their cards. just to keep up


    appearances!”


    Zachariah nodded and immediately pointed them out to him.


    Valerian walked over and epted the invitations from three first-tier families: the Longhorns, the


    Znkos, and the Kubricks. He then epted three more invitations from three other families. Those


    who had their invitations taken by Valerian were all very excited since there was hope for Valerian to


    visit them if their invitations had been epted. Being host to Valerian was a very big deal and an even


    greater honor.


    As Valerian walked, he eventually came up to Severin and his group. Several other people aside. from


    Diane and Megan were trying to hand him their invitation card too, but Valerian smiled. curtly and took


    the invitation card from Diane before getting into the car with Zachariah.


    “We’ll be hosting Mister Valerian at our ce today, so those of you who are freeter at noon. are


    invited toe join us for a celebratory meal!” The Bards’ butler smiled and said to


    everyone.


    After all, Valerian visited the Bards first, which showed that he valued them above many other


    families. It was a heartening development, because more businessmen will seek to cooperate with the


    Bards in the future, and it would then bring a huge positive impact on the Bards’ future


    development. As a result, the Bards were all beaming with joy.


    “Congrattions, congrattions!” Many of them gestured to express their gratitude, and those who


    were unable to hand out their invitations could not help but sigh and rue their luck.


    “I…am I dreaming, Severin? Did Mister Valerian ept my invitation card too?!” Diane was stunned for


    a moment as she looked at Severin in disbelief.Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
