Quentin’s words left Benjamin and everyone present in a state of confusion.
“Quentin, how dare you!”
“How dare you offend Mr. Fraser!”
Russell shouted angrily.
“Forget it, why bother with such a clown.”
“Young man, being impulsive can bring disaster upon yourself.”
Benjamin wasn’t angry; instead, he spoke with an air of arrogance.
“Are you threatening me?” Quentin asked coldly.
“Quentin, stop talking.” Charlotte tugged at Quentin’s sleeve, her face full of worry.
She feared Quentin had offended this high-ranking official from the governor’s palace, someone Quentin couldn’t possibly contend with.
“It’s not a threat.”
“As long as your family kneels and apologizes to me, I can pretend nothing happened.”
Benjamin sneered.
“You useless lot, hurry up and apologize to Mr. Fraser!”
Georgia gloated from the side.
“What if we don’t kneel?” Quentin said calmly, sipping his tea leisurely.
“Good, you have guts.”
“If you don’t kneel, I’ll make sure your family has no place in Stresall or the entire southeast from today onwards.”
Benjamin looked at Quentin with disdain, a playful smile on his face.
“I hope you can maintain this confidence later,” Quentin retorted coldly.
“I’m giving you one last chance: kneel or not.” Benjamin’s presence was imposing.
In his eyes, Quentin was just an ant he could crush at any moment. He couldn’t understand where Quentin got his audacity.
Quentin remained silent, still leisurely drinking his tea. Charlotte’s family was on pins and needles, while Russell and others watched them mockingly.
“Welcome Lord Zaid of Stresall!”
“Captain Chad has arrived!”
Just as the tension reached its peak, Zaid’s arrival broke the atmosphere.
Lord Zaid of Stresall? Why would such a distinguished person come here?
Captain Chad, the military leader of Stresall, was here too?
Could it be that they were also invited by the Pittman and Parry families?
As Russell and Dexter were puzzled, more people arrived.
“Mr. Wilson from Spicurity Group has arrived!”
“Mr. Raphael has arrived!”
“Inspector Wade is here with gifts to celebrate!”
One loud announcement after another rang out like thunder.
Then Eileen, Riya, Spicurity Group director Clark, Sloburg Kindergarten principal Raphael, and the chief inspector all arrived with their entourages.
Russell and the others were dumbfounded. These were almost all the top figures in Stresall.
Seeing one was difficult enough, let alone a group of them all arriving together.
Could it be that they came because of Mr. Fraser?
Dexter and Russell thought of this and became even more radiant with joy.
They hurriedly went to greet Zaid and the others.
Zaid and the others ignored them and went straight to Quentin.
“Hello, Mr. Holland!” Zaid and the others greeted respectfully.
“Huh? Mr. Fraser, what are you doing here?” Zaid finally noticed Benjamin nearby.
Russell and the others were stunned. Quentin was actually on good terms with Zaid and the others? But compared to Mr. Fraser, what did these people matter?
They prepared to watch Mr. Fraser teach Quentin a lesson.
“What are you doing here?” Benjamin asked coldly.
Seeing the cold expressions on both Benjamin and Quentin’s faces, it seemed there had been some conflict.
“Mr. Fraser, what happened between you and Mr. Holland?” Zaid asked tentatively.
Benjamin disdainfully recounted his conflict with Quentin.
Zaid and the others gasped in shock.
Benjamin worked in the governor’s palace; did he not know Quentin was the Governor of the Eastern Region? He dared to ask Quentin to kneel and even threatened him?
This situation was getting out of hand; even pleading for him might not help now.
“Mr. Fraser, Mr. Holland…”
“Enough, you don’t need to plead for him. Even if you know him, today he must kneel and apologize to me.”
Benjamin interrupted Zaid firmly.
“Mr. Fraser, you have quite the authority!”
At that moment, a man walked in slowly but with an overwhelming presence as if he could look down on everything.
Mr. Fraser’s legs went weak… This man also came?!
“Who are you! How dare you speak like that! Do you know who Mr. Fraser is?”
“Mr. Fraser is the famous administrator Benjamin from the governor’s palace of the southeast!”
Dexter pointed at the man and cursed.
“Shut up! Are you looking for death?”
Benjamin suddenly stepped forward and slapped Dexter hard, leaving him stunned.
“Governor Johnston, why are you here? Please sit down.”
Seeing Benjamin being so respectful to this man, Dexter was scared out of his wits.
This man was actually Ryan Johnston, the governor of the southeast?
