The black cross instantly stunned the entire crowd!
"In memory of Father Liam Parker and Mother Mabel Brown Parker. Rest in Peace."
Everyone's eyes were drawn to these golden cursive letters. Their faces were filled with shock!
What was Jonathan trying to do? This was Bethany's engagement party. In front of so many elites of Yonderville and the heir of the Cameron family, Jonathan had displayed a cross for his parents!
He was seeking justice for his parents, but he was also fiercely slapping the Stewart family in the face!
However, Daniel, sitting at the main table, leisurely sipped his coffee.
A few days ago, he had learned Jonathan's true identity!
He hadn't expected that the legendary five-star general of Novaria was actually the heir of the Parker family from five years ago!
When Daniel first learned of Jonathan's identity from the top-secret notice, he had been in shock for a long time!
He had known about the Parker family's m******e back then, but that was orchestrated by the four major families in Yonderville, and even as the mayor, he had no power to intervene.
Now, Jonathan, who had fled Yonderville like a stray dog five years ago, had become a five-star general of Novaria and stood at a peak that no one could reach! His return was bound to stir up a storm in Yonderville!
Simon also watched Jonathan with flickering eyes. Suddenly, he noticed Daniel's composed demeanor. It seemed that Daniel was indifferent to the situation.
Suspicious, Simon whispered, "Mr. Mayor, why aren't you concerned? Did you know this was going to happen?"
Daniel smiled, "I didn't, but I can guess the outcome. The Parker family was insignificant five years ago, but now Jonathan is no longer the man from the past. The Stewart family is in big trouble this time."
Hearing this, Simon's expression darkened. "Mr. Mayor, what do you mean?"
Daniel chuckled, "Remember those medical experts who arrived at Yonderville Airport a few days ago? Jonathan came off the plane with them."
Simon's countenance changed dramatically as he stared at Jonathan in disbelief. "I remember now. There was a man traveling with those medical experts. I thought it was a coincidence. But he later got into the military vehicle. Doesn't that mean..."
"Enough!" Daniel shook his head, signaling Simon to stop talking. "Mr. Reed, here's a friendly reminder. Don't spread rumors. Otherwise, you know what happened with the Roberts family."
Simon was already shaken to the core, and hearing Daniel mention the Roberts family, he instantly connected last night's annihilation of the Roberts family with Jonathan.
Simon's mind was in turmoil. Now he felt a sense of reverence for Jonathan's identity. 'The Roberts family was destroyed because of him! How terrifying!'
Meanwhile, Bethany's face was pale with shock as she stared at the cross Jonathan had brought out. "Jonathan, what are you doing?! This is my engagement party! Why did you bring a cross here? Are you trying to provoke us?!"
Bethany's beautiful face was now pale, and her eyes were filled with hatred as she shouted, "We had a shared past, but a loser like you has no right to be here! Bow and apologize to Ethan, and get out with that ominous cross! Otherwise, I will call stronger men to throw you out!"
Jonathan burst into laughter. "Apologize? Bethany, who do you think you are? And what past do we have? Even if we had any, it was all torn apart by you at our wedding five years ago! I still remember my parents begging the Stewart family and the four major families! Did you care about our past at that time? They were forced to die by you and the other families!"
Jonathan became agitated, his eyes red with fury and fists clenched tightly. A terrifying killing intent emanated from him!
This killing intent affected everyone in the hall and sent chills down their spines!
"The Stewart family and the four major families have long been on my death list! I will surely avenge my parents! And today, I will start with the Stewart family!" With that, Jonathan suddenly stepped forward.
Bethany, frightened, retreated several steps. She couldn't believe that the worthless man, who had once fled, now exuded such a powerful aura! It felt as if she was facing an insurmountable mountain!
As Bethany was rendered speechless, the head of the Stewart family, Xavier, shouted, "Enough! Jonathan, this is my daughter's engagement party. Are you trying to declare war on the Stewart family? You will always be a worthless piece of trash! Do you think you can challenge the Stewart family after hiding for years? How ridiculous!"
