LittleNovelChapter 2142 Announcing the Gifts
Actually, Old Mrs. Bane didn't really like Matthew, and she even found him a little distasteful. In her opinion,
Matthew probably planned the whole thing. He probably deliberately hurt Anthony's arm just so that he could
treat it with his superior medical skills.
By doing this, not only would Anthony feel guilty, but he would also develop a liking for him. He's so skilled at
playing ‘carrot after stick' that nobody noticed anything amiss. He's still so young yet he's already so cunning.
No wonder Roxanne is completely under his spell and he's on her mind all the time. Meanwhile, he couldn't be
bothered to waste a second toward the other regular members of the Bane Family. When she considered all
these factors, she reckoned that Matthew was purposely trying to get into the good books of the Bane Family's
main family. He probably figured that he would use the Banes as a stepping stone to expand his influence by
leeching onto them since they were a powerful family.
At the other side of the party, everyone was already waiting in excitement. So, when Old Mrs. Bane appeared,
they all stood up to welcher.
Born in one of the top ten families in the country, Old Mrs. Bane was from the Harding Family and her maiden
nwas Marissa Harding. Her family had invested in the Martial League since she was young and had
countless disciples within the organization. Over the years, many of those disciples were now important and

Once she was seated in the center seat, everyone immediately started giving her birthday wishes on behalf of
the group they represented. "Happy Birthday, Old Mrs. Bane! We wish you a long, healthy life!" Marissa
answered them happily, "Thank you for taking the tout of your busy schedules to attend my birthday party.
I'm deeply honored by your presence. Please be at ease and take your seats." After that, everyone took their
seats, and it was tfor an important part of the banquet-revealing the gifts.
This was supposed to be a way to express the thoughts of the guests attending the banquet, but it slowly turned
into a competition due to selfishness and vanity.
"The Damron Family of Bainbridge presents a three-foot angel sculpture." When the master of ceremonies
started speaking, the noises from the crowd died down and the room turned silent before a round of surprised
gasps echoed.
As everyone watched curiously, the sculpture made of gold was carried into the room by ten strong men with
great difficulty.
The sculpture shone brightly and had lifelike features. In addition, it was made of gold and sculptured by the
renowned national sculptor of the country, Chris Morris.
The value of this gift was no less than 290 million, and what made it even more precious was the sincerity
behind such a present. After all, Chris Morris had already announced his retirement a few years ago because of
his age. Yet, Aurelius was able to persuade him out of retirement.
Marissa admired the statue before her as she nodded and said with a smile, "Thank you for the gift, Mr. Damron."
"It's just a small token of my sincerity. I'm glad that it brought a smile to your face. Again, | would like to
represent the Damron Family and wish you a prosperous, long life!" Aurelius brimmed with pride as he returned
to his seat while enjoying the stares of awe from the crowd.
"The Lullaby Family presents an antique painting from Sir Micah, a set of porcelain vases, and a pair of rare jade.
May Old Mrs. Bane enjoy a long life of abundance."
The gifts from the Lullaby Family were announced one by one, followed by the gasps of astonishment from the
crowd because those antiques were incredibly rare, especially the drawing from Micah Wikaedal, which was so
rare that not even money could buy.
Alas, Marissa wasn't interested in these things, but she understood that the Lullaby Family was trying to use this
opportunity to pass these gifts to her husband rather than giving it to her as her birthday presents. After all, it
was a well-known fact in the city that he enjoyed collecting antiques.
"King of the South, Master Levi, presents a pair of jade, and the unrivaled swordsman, Mr. Heath Solis, presents a
sword."
Their gifts paled in comparison to the ones from the Damron and Lullaby Families. Even though they were
uncommon, they could barely compare to the ones before them.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNevertheless, the Six Kings didn't have a friendly relationship with the Ten Greatest Families and they were
always fighting against each other in the dark. This was an open secret, and the gifts today were mainly to
maintain the facade of politeness and peace between each party.
