Chapter 554 - That\'s My Seat

Eitan gave a mission in one breath.

The person on the other side of the phone was silent at first. Processing what their boss had said.

"...Yes, Sir."

"Make sure they feel pressured. Don\'t allow them do any transactions with others."

"Yes, Sir."

A short silence.

"Anything else, Sir?"

Eitan opened his mouth and looked at the door, but then changed his mind. "Nothing else. Do it as soon as possible."

"Yes, Sir."

The call ended.

Eitan did not go back to the hall immediately. He leaned against the wall of the hallway and took out a piece of cigarette which he always carried in his pockets.

"What will happen if we fail..?" He muttered.

Eitan was a cautious man. Unlike his father, he did not like risks but wanted to play it safe. He had thought to make a contingency plan as a leeway for him and his father in case everything went wrong. Eitan could not allow himself and his father to be affected by the loss if ever this elaborate and dangerous plan failed.

However, thinking for a while, Eitan decided against it.

This was Ming Zhi Yi.

And this man had never failed.

What if he offended such a monster with his movements?

Eitan let out a puff of smoke in the air, gazing until they faded into a foggy mist in the hall.

And if someone really stopped that man, then Eitan would never go against those people.

In any animal kingdom, the king of beasts could lose to another king of beasts.

If they could beat Ming Zhi Yi, he himself would never had a chance to fare safely against those forces.

Hopefully, everything would go well.

The audience applauded as the third song came to an end.

The third song was soft and sincere. It was a song of a man pursuing a woman and confessing his love to her. It was very sentimental, warm, and could make men and woman desire to experience such a sincere love.

After Tang Yin ended her explanation for her third song on the stage, the host walked to the stage and announced that the first batch of the songs had ended. It was time for the main lead, Tang Yin, to have a break first while the musicians played classical pieces for them. It meant that it was time for the guests to mingle with each other.

The lights brightened back to the resplendent radiance as the chandeliers shone brightly above. Many of the members of the orchestra retreated and groups of musicians played in turns, exciting the ears with lively tunes, soft melodies, and romantic music. Lively murmurs and chattering began to fill the hall.

The guests stood from the tables and mingled with others, some pulling people to the corner to talk about various things, from pleasantries to business interests.

Mistress Tang as the hostess of the banquet was surrounded by praises glorifying her talented second granddaughter.

It was a very lively and harmonious scene.

At this moment, Jang Shin finally arrived in the hall. At the entrance, he met Eitan halfway. Eitan came in from the other side of the hallway.

Jang Shin slightly bowed at the esteemed guest and gestured for him to walk in first.

Eitan nodded in greeting and entered, subtly glancing at the two masked men at the table who did not move from their seats, before he silently headed for his table.

Their table was now filled with people. The vacant seats earlier had now been occupied by guests who had business dealings with his father.

Ifel glanced meaningfully at Eitan, his eyes signalling to talk about it later. For now, they have to entertain these people.

Meanwile, Jang Shin slowly walked back to his table.

The front area was the most crowded, including Xiong Zhi\'s table. A few groups of people were standing around to invite Xiong Zhi and the rest for a talk, but after chatting for a short while, they left one by one.

Jang Shin did not know what kind of promise they said for the people to leave with a satisfied expression on their faces.

When the crowd began leaving, Jang Shin finally saw the men and women on the table. His long narrow peach eyes were instinctively glued to the woman whom he had mixed feelings for.

Jang Shin looked at Tang Xinyang with complicated eyes, feeling his chest slightly suffocate when the woman did not look at him. But he buried these thoughts and drew his eyes away from her. Then Jang Shin\'s eyes landed on the golden blond hair of a certain man.

Jang Shin frowned.

Why was William still here?

He circ.u.mvented towards where William was sitting at and asked, "Why are you still on my seat?"

Xiong Zhi, Linfeng, and William turned to look at him.

Tang Xinyang did not look at Jang Shin and pretended that she did not see or hear him. She reached for her glass and sipped mindlessly.

William sighed helplessly.

Here it came. He was no different from a disposable man that was easily thrown away when he was no longer needed. He did not feel that he was William Grand at all with these people.

Usually, William would definitely teach the person who dared to talk to him this way a lesson he would never forget. However, he did not want to put the poor and suffering lady Tang Xinyang in an uncomfortable position.

Also, couples needed to solve their own problems.

William was about to stand up and give the seat to its owner when Tang Xinyang spoke.

"Where are you going, senior? This is your seat."

The rest went silent.

Xiong Zhi and Linfeng silently looked at each other and simultaneously glanced at Jang Shin\'s reaction, while William slowly lowered his body again to sit down.

William: ...On the second thought, I should help out the lady.

William suddenly remembered that this woman had beaten him down in the parking lot earlier. Better to follow the woman and make an enemy of a man, rather than get slammed down and crippled by a woman.

Jang Shin, as expected, frowned deeper. The urge to nag Tang Xinyang about avoiding the playboy almost overcame him.
