During that time, the people beneath the stage started whispering again, and the word 'present' floated
around in the air.
Lev smiled apologetically and explained to Loretta, "Mrs. Hewitt, soldiers are straightforward and only
know to listen to orders. So, when the lieutenant asked us to come as support, we just came… And
well… We didn't prepare anything…"
"It's okay! I don't mind one bit!" Loretta said dotingly. "I'm grateful that you could come. I don't need
presents!"
She was elated, but everyone else beneath the stage was dumbfounded.
"D-Did the lieutenant general just say they were here to support?"
"I-I heard it too. Why does that sound so familiar?"
"It sounds… So similar to what Mr. Nicholson was saying. To ask someone to come as support."
Gasp!
Everyone was shell-shocked at the revelation, and time seemed to freeze for a moment.
Everyone. Every single one of them, including the provincial governor and city mayor, was frozen.
They stood rooted to the spot and looked at Kingsley in bewilderment as their eyes twitched.
Just when everyone's soul left their bodies, Jim pushed the glasses on his nose bridge up slightly,
looked at Eric and Zeke, kneeling like statues, and questioned, "What happened here? Why are they
kneeling in a birthday celebration?"
Leoric answered bluntly, "These two guys defamed Boss Nicholson just now, and Mr. Carter wanted to
teach them a lesson! They were begging the officers for help."
Jim's eyes turned cold upon hearing such disrespect as he said icily, "Begging for help? Just arrest
them and punish them according to military law!"
Eric shivered when he heard that, and his lips trembled, but he was too scared to say anything.
Zeke was even worse. His eyes rolled to the back, and he actually fainted.
Then, Kingsley said, "His dad helped Reene once. So, there's no need to use military law."
"Yes!"
Jim answered instinctively before remembering that he couldn't expose Kingsley's position in front of
others and quickly relaxed his tight muscles.
However, people already had guesses when he said he was here as support.
In addition, his standing-at-attention pose practically confirmed some people's theories.
Despite that, people still couldn't guess what position Kingsley held, especially since he was so young.
But they knew that he could order around two high-ranking military personnel just from that interaction
alone.
Then, Kingsley regarded the confused people and slowly sat on the main table before saying mirthfully,
"What are you standing for? Come sit."
But Lev and Jim were still standing. No one dared to sit.
So, a weird scene happened in the banquet hall with everyone standing and only Kingsley sitting on the
chair. Meanwhile, Eric was kneeling while Zeke was passed out on the floor.
The smile on Kingsley's face slowly disappeared as he scanned the nervous guest before asking
coldly, "Since you lot don't dare to sit, then may I ask Do I, Nicholson, have what it takes to sit at the
main table?"
Do I, Nicholson, have what it takes to sit at the main table?
His words rang in the ears of those who were making him give up his seat just now to the officers, and
their faces all turned as white as a sheet.
Suddenly, the banquet hall had turned into a battlefield, and everyone's hearts were shuddering with
fear, and they couldn't even conceal the horror on their faces.
Kingsley waved his hands and told Jay, "Mr. Carter, please lead Mr. and Mrs. Hewitt and their family
into the private room."
"Yes, Mr. Nicholson," Jay answered respectfully and guided the entire Hewitt Family into the VIP room
earlier.
Walter didn't say anything because he knew that, as of that moment, his wife's birthday celebration had
officially ended. Regardless, he was also brilliant enough to piece together that anything that happened
next wasn't something he could be involved in.
