Chapter 182: Recognition banquet.

"You look over there. That was the person we contacted and co-operated with after you assassinated that old man Harold in your town.

She was the only daughter of the Sinclair family, Juliana Sinclair.

And the other woman standing nearby her was her childhood friend, Shen Yueran, from one of the top four families, the Shen family.

She is also the daughter of the main lineage like me in the Shen family. If we can gain the support of these two, then we can easily overthrow the father and son pair of the Thomson family."

Jack looked at the two women curiously. His mind once again started to plan and scheme. It seems this recognition banquet was a big opportunity for me to solve the problem for Irene.

As time passed, guests came one after another. Soon Irene also arrived with her brother. Jack glanced in her direction. Their eyes met with each other. Irene gave a slight nod at him and continued her own business.

Jack watched the young man who came with her. From his arrogant attitude, he already guessed that was the man he promised to kill for Irene. His predatory gaze fixed on the young man for a few moments and moved away.

Brad, who had just given some instructions to his sister and left to chat with his friends, suddenly felt a chill on his back. He muttered to himself.

"Hmmm.....what is this feeling?"

He looked around and shook his head.

"Why am I getting alert here for no reason? It’s not like someone dared to target me this openly at this banquet."

He tossed the unease he just felt to the back of his mind and continued his own thing.

Selena watched Irene enter the banquet with her brother. She said in a soft voice,

"I already made arrangements to meet her in private as you instructed."

"Huh....that’s not a problem here. I was thinking about the things you said. Can we try to reach a deal with the two ladies from the other two top families of the capital about supporting Irene?"

A frown appeared on Selena’s face.

"There is a possibility for the deal to happen. Because that woman from the Sinclair family owes us one because of the evidence we gave about the Thomson family.

But those two were cunning as foxes, not easy to deal with. They will try to ask an exorbitant price and try to exploit us in every way. These two were born and raised under all the schemes and power struggles inside the family. So it was not easy for us to gain their trust in such a short time."

Jack thought to himself, but that was hard if I’m not here. Since I’m here, with my ability, I should take action and control these two women soon and take them under his family. So that soon his influence in the capital will become strengthened through the influence of the top four families of the capital. He stopped his thoughts from running wild and continued to listen to Selena.

"From the last time, if not for the evidence and the leverage we gave, do you think they would let go of you after using their name as a scapegoat?"

Jack smiled confidently and said,

"Just arrange the meeting with them after I meet with Irene.

I will deal with them in my own way."

While saying this, his eyes were glued to the two childhood friends holding hands together and discussing and giggling about something among themselves.

Selena watched her husband. His eyes once again revealed that same lustful look whenever he targeted a new woman. She looked in the direction of his sight.

Her mouth twitched lightly. She cursed inside her mind, was this man not know when to stop his pervertness?

She shook her head in lament and walked away with the help of her assistant carefully to take care of the thing that Jack instructed her.

Later, when the time for the main event arrived, Shigeru came in front of everyone on the main stage and started his speech.

"Gentlemen, thanks for coming to the banquet of our family.

As everyone knows, the position of the son-in-law in our family was how much important and valued in our family.

We recently gained a new and capable son-in-law in our family."

The crowd, after hearing that the family head of one of the top four families in the capital was going to introduce his son-in-law to everyone, listened curiously and looked forward to knowing the person.

Shigeru looked at Jack and smiled lightly. When Jack watched the old man looking in his direction and smiling at him, he immediately understood his intention.

He started to walk toward the main stage and soon stood beside the family head.

Shigeru, seeing that Jack had come, held his hand tightly and raised the wine glass in his other hand in front of everyone.

"Everyone, this is Jack and my son-in-law. I hope everyone will look after him in the future."

Soon the hall filled with claps and murmurs. Everyone started to discuss the identity of this person. But no one identified the new face like him in the capital, so the curiosity and mystery still remained among the guests about his background.

Jack watched everything silently and thought to himself. When he mentioned about being low-key in the capital, Selena already told him that,

"My identity and the traces I lived in Milford Town were completely erased and she already changed my identity into new one after discussing with her father."

So that I need not worry about the trouble I cause here affecting my family in Milford Town.

Even if someone identified his original identity, no one would dare to take action against his family after the recognition given by the family head of one of the top four families in the capital because they couldn’t afford the consequences that would follow.

That was why both Isabella and Selena were against the idea of directly killing the main lineage and heir of the Thomson family. It was a taboo between all four families.
