Chapter 560 The Family Banquet Ends "President Andrew." Ryan finally spoke, his voice not loud, but clearly echoing in everyone's ears.

"I had long heard that Chairman Andrew's sense of profit was unparalleled in the Gray family. My father also said that without Chairman Andrew, the wealth accumulated by the Gray family over the years would probably be greatly reduced."

Although Ryan's words were a compliment to Andrew, Andrew was not pleased at all; instead, he became even more nervous.

He had almost relived all the bad things he had done in his life, and he still didn't know what he had done to offend this person.

“Young Master Raine…” Andrew forced a smile, his tone suggesting he wanted Raine to explain what he had done to displease him.

Ryan stepped forward, smiled, patted Andrew on the shoulder, and said.

“President Andrew, there’s no need to be nervous. My father trusts you and has entrusted you with the heavy responsibility of the family because your loyalty to the Gray crew is beyond doubt. I, Ryan, naturally trust you as well.”

After speaking, Ryan leaned forward slightly and whispered in Andrew's ear in a tone that only the two of them could hear.

“I know that those gray industries and even black industries can bring amazing profits. Slave trading is not a taboo. I won’t interfere if you buy and sell slaves, demi-humans, or dwarves from other factions.”

"But shouldn't there be a limit?"

Upon hearing this, Andrew tentatively asked, "What boundary are you referring to?"

"As you know, I, Renn, have always had a very good relationship with the Elf Forest, so good that the Elf Forest is like my second home." Renn smiled.

Raine changed the subject, saying, "But I heard that your men are buying and selling elven slaves and elven half-breeds at high prices?"

"Are you aware of this?"

Andrew swallowed hard. He felt a familiar sense of oppression from Ryan, just like the time when Ford summoned him.

As for what Renn said about buying and selling elven slaves, how could he not know about something that could bring him huge profits?

but……

"What?! Such a thing exists! Those people are truly ungrateful!" Andrew quickly denied it.

"Young Master Renn! I have absolutely no knowledge of this! Please believe me!"

Even if the sky were to fall, Andrew would still not know about this!

If this person finds out that he was the one who orchestrated this, even Fred might not be able to protect him.

Ryan raised an eyebrow: "Oh? Really?"

Andrew nodded solemnly: "Yes, I really have no idea about this!"

For a shrewd businessman like Andrew, lying without batting an eye was ingrained in his very being.

"Don't worry, when I get back, I'll find out who's been using my name to do this kind of thing, and I guarantee they'll pay the price!"

Ryan knew Andrew was lying, but he was still willing to give Andrew a chance, so he went along with what Andrew was saying.

"Then it seems I misunderstood Chairman Andrew."

Please forgive me.

Ryan smiled, straightened up, and handed Andrew a wine glass.

Upon hearing this, Andrew knew he had passed this hurdle. After regaining his composure, he lightly clinked glasses with Ryan.

Andrew adopted an extremely humble attitude, smiling slightly as he said:

"Young Master, you flatter me. You are the hope of the Gray family. It is my fault that the work done by my subordinates has displeased you."

"Please rest assured, I will take immediate action to deal with this matter as soon as I get back, and I will definitely give you and your 'friends' an explanation."

Ryan smiled, patted Andrew on the shoulder, and waved his hand, saying:

"President Andrew is the cornerstone of my Gray family. It's just a misunderstanding, and it will be cleared up soon."

Upon hearing this, Gareth and Aiden realized that it was Andrew's men who had offended this man.

The dinner continued, and Fred, along with Ryan, met with everyone who had come to the dinner.

At the end of the dinner.

Fred led Raine to the center of the banquet, looked around, and coughed a few times amplified by his fighting spirit.

Those present stopped talking and gathered around Fred.

Fred said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, we gather here tonight not only to rekindle our family ties, but also to witness the future of the Grey family!"

"I, Fred Gray, in the name of the head of the Gray family, declare that my second son, Ryan Gray, will inherit the position of head of the Gray family in the future!"

Fred's gaze swept across the entire room, and he continued:

"As you can see, the young lion has grown up and become a renowned figure on the continent. In the future, he will surpass me and become the new Lion King, continuing to lead the family forward!"

"From this moment on, Rein's will is my will, and also the will of the Gray family! You must obey every decision he makes as if it were my command!"

Fred raised his glass to the crowd:

"Now, raise your glasses and offer your loyalty to the future Gray family!"

As soon as Ford finished speaking, everyone present raised their glasses toward Ryan.

They did not refute Fred's words at all and fully agreed with Ryan.

Although Renn is a womanizer and sometimes acts recklessly, people with high ability and talent always have some minor flaws, right?

Compared to those who are bloodthirsty and don't care about merit or hard work, Renn is already very kind.

"Cheers! Young Master Renn!" everyone shouted, downing the wine in their glasses in one gulp.

Standing behind Ford, Ryan stepped forward, raised his glass, and laughed:

"For the glory of the Grey family!"

Everyone shouted again, "For the glory of the Gray family!!"

The banquet continued until midnight before finally concluding.

That night, Renn drank a lot of alcohol, so much so that even with a sobering spell, he was still in a daze.

Reeking of alcohol, Ryan was escorted back to his room by Eve and her maids.

Ryan lay on Eve's chest and rubbed against her for a while.

Eve smiled and helped Ryan up, and with the help of Caroline and the other maids, she helped Ryan remove his clothes.

Caroline and Eve then led Ryan into the bathroom.

In the bathroom, Caroline, Eve, and the other personal maids worked together to clean Raine, and then took him back to the large bed in the room.

On the bed, Renn looked at the snow-white figure beside him and hugged her.

The magic crystal chandelier went out, leaving only Caroline's moans in the room.
