"Oh? I'd like to know why?" Vincent pretended to be puzzled.
"Vincent, you are good at bluffing. Mr. Field's power spreads throughout M City. He's like a god here. I heard he's even established a relationship with that mysterious big shot. And you dare to say something about making Mr. Field disappear? I think the one disappearing tonight will be you!" Nathan laughed.
Vincent sneered, "Even if Stanley Field himself is standing here, what can he do to me?"
"Insolent fool, Vincent, do you know who you've offended? Daring to insult Mr. Field, you’re sealing your fate in M City," Clement said angrily. "It seems like you're itching for death."
Vincent shrugged, "If you care so much about Mr. Field, he's here now. Why not just ask him if he dares to be my enemy?"
Clement and Nathan laughed, "We didn't expect you to be such a good actor, Vincent."
Meanwhile, Stanley Field was making his way towards Vincent, under the gaze of the other guests.
Just now, he had received a call from General Galahad. King wanted him to rush to the hotel within two minutes, or he wouldn't survive the night.
He quickly turned the car around, taking the golden invitation that he had failed to send out yesterday, and headed for the hotel.
He didn't want to anger King.
The journey to the hotel felt unbearably long, until the sound of screeching brakes broke the silence. Stanley Field looked up and realized they had reached the hotel entrance. Glancing at his watch, he noted there were still thirty seconds. Without pausing to consider his appearance, he flung open the car door and hurried into the banquet hall.
As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the banquet hall, he heard Nathan's voice, "Vincent, you're going to be a corpse soon. Even God won't be able to save you, hahaha." This man actually dared to be so disrespectful to King. Did he not want to live?
Seeing the sudden arrival of Stanley Field, the Joseph family members had stunned expressions on their faces.
"My God, Mr. Stanley Field personally came to my banquet. Am I dreaming?"
Seeing M City's wealthiest man visit, everyone gasped in shock.
Who was Stanley Field? In M City, he was the master!
Ordinary people couldn't even get a glimpse of him. Who would have thought he would suddenly visit Clement's banquet?
In an instant, the Joseph family members became excited.
Especially Clement, who was already dumbfounded, hastened forward, his smile ingratiating. "Mr. Field, your presence graces the Joseph family. It is a genuine honor for us."
Vincent found it amusing. This Clement was indeed a textbook social climber.
However, Stanley Field pushed him away with a single phrase, "Get lost!"
Then Stanley Field ignored the others and went straight to Vincent, bowing respectfully. "Mr. Chesterton, I regret not being able to personally welcome you to M City. Please forgive me."
"Very good, and right on time," Vincent patted Stanley Field's shoulder and smiled.
At this moment, Stanley Field, M City's wealthiest man, faced Vincent with utmost respect. He was bowing his head and afraid of offending him.
Stanley Field then took out a golden invitation and handed it over with both hands, respectfully saying, "Mr. Chesterton, tomorrow evening, I will host a welcome banquet. I hope you can attend in person, so I can make amends for what happened today."
In M City, there was an urban legend about Stanley Field's banquet invitations, divided into three levels.
The first level was a special invitation made of gold and diamonds, the second was a VIP invitation made of platinum, and the third was a simple paper invitation. For many years, no one had ever received a golden invitation from Stanley Field.
It was unexpected that Vincent received one today. At this moment, both the Joseph family and the Barton family members had extremely unpleasant expressions, especially Nathan. His invitation was only a simple one, so why could Vincent receive a golden invitation?
However, Vincent simply accepted the invitation, nodding gently. "Okay, I got it."
Stanley Field had initially thought that Vincent would refuse, considering Vincent's status, which was above his own.
Stanley Field's visit today was merely a gesture of respect, but Vincent's acquiescence filled him with elation.
"What's going on? That's the prestigious M City's wealthiest man, why is he showing such respect to Vincent?" Seeing this, Clement was shocked, unable to believe his eyes.
Clement approached Stanley Field, his face full of disbelief. "Mr. Field, are you mistaking him for someone else? This is my granddaughter's husband, the worthless son-in-law of our Joseph family. How can you bow to him?"
Unexpectedly, Stanley Field slapped Clement across the face. "Old man, watch your words. If you continue with this nonsense, I'll ensure the Joseph family won't see the light of tomorrow."
"Ahh?" Clement collapsed to the ground as if struck by a bullet. He had hoped to curry favor with Stanley Field through Nathan, but now it seemed like he had offended him. Had he buried the Joseph family's future by himself?
Nathan spoke emotionally, "Mr. Field, why are you showing such respect to this shameless scoundrel?"
Vincent locked eyes with Stanley Field and pressed on, "Stanley Field, I heard from Mr. Marion here that he received an invitation from you. What's the meaning of this? Do you expect me to attend your banquet alongside such lowly company? It appears your judgment is lacking."
Then Stanley Field turned to Vincent and said, "Mr. Chesterton, it's my oversight. I will immediately retract my invitation for Nathan. I didn't carefully screen the qualifications of the invitees, and for that, I take full responsibility."
Vincent waved his hand at him and said, "No need, let him continue to attend your banquet. I have my own arrangements."
Stanley Field wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to Vincent, "Then I will await Mr. Chesterton's presence tomorrow evening. I dare not disturb you now. Farewell! Farewell!"
Before leaving, Stanley Field faced the Joseph family and shook his head, sighing, "A bunch of fools!"
With that said, he turned and left the banquet hall. If it weren't for Vincent, he wouldn't have come at all.
It wasn't until long after Stanley Field had left that the banquet hall fell silent, everyone still in shock.
At this moment, Nathan suddenly spoke, breaking the silence in the room.
"Nicely done, Vincent, hiring someone to impersonate Mr. Field to act with you!"
