"Good evening, Young Master Renn. Aiden Grey pays his respects. With the trust of the patriarch, I command the Guardian Knights of the family territory and bear the responsibility for its safety."
"I am deeply honored to meet you tonight. The Grey family needs a lion king with strong blood and will to lead them, and you are that hope."
"Rest assured, no matter when or where, the family's sword and shield will fight for you, for the patriarch, and for the family. Salute to you, young master! May strength and courage always be with you!"
Aiden is the strongest of the three, Gareth, at the peak of the fifth tier. He's much younger than Gareth, which speaks volumes about Aiden's talent.
Based on blood relations, Aiden can be considered his third uncle.
He was dressed in a smart leather outfit, and a gruesome scar marked his left eye, which also made his left eye somewhat cloudy.
That was Aiden's own badge of honor.
“Commander Aiden, I have long heard of your bravery. With your presence in the family territory, those roaming mercenaries and monsters in the forest dare not enter the family territory at all.”
"The scar on your face is said to be from a battle with a cursed banshee. It was left as a sequela because it was not treated in time. Even the bishop of the Church of Light could not cure it."
"If you trust me, you can come to me after the banquet. I might be able to help you with your treatment."
Upon hearing this, Aiden's hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly. Even someone as hard-hearted as him couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement upon hearing Ryan's words.
Young Master Renn could even cure the head of the family from a coma, so he had no reason not to believe Renn.
"Thank you, Young Master Renn. Aiden will always be your sharpest sword. May the God of Warriors protect you." Aiden bowed deeply to Renn.
Ryan smiled and helped Aiden up, then looked at the last of the three.
Andrew Gray.
Andrew is the weakest of the three Gareth, only at the early stage of the fourth rank.
He was rather overweight, with a large belly, and wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his round face.
He stepped forward with a cheerful smile, dressed in a purple and gold suit.
“Good evening, Master Ryan. I am Andrew Gray, in charge of the family's taxes and all the business affairs on behalf of the patriarch. Everyone calls me the patriarch's money bag.”
"Tonight's family dinner is of great significance, and it is my honor to share a drink with you here."
“Wealth is the cornerstone of a family and the sharpest weapon for opening up the future. I assure you that the treasury of the family lord’s territory and the chamber of commerce can provide you with ample funds at any time.”
"Whatever your future plans, as long as you ask, your cash flow will never be interrupted. Respectfully yours, young master."
Fred naturally gave Ryan information about Andrew as well.
He possessed the cunning and shrewdness of a businessman, and was extremely perceptive of opportunities to acquire wealth. He was one of the few business geniuses on the continent.
However, he also has some of the minor flaws of a businessman.
For example, he would stop at nothing to make a profit; he would do anything as long as the profit was enough.
Although extremely greedy, Fred turned a blind eye to Andrew's behavior because of his extreme loyalty to the Grey family.
Ryan looked at Andrew but did not immediately clink glasses with him.
His smile remained, but his gaze toward Andrew held a newfound scrutiny.
This action caused Gareth and Aiden, who were standing nearby, to glance at Andrew, and then subtly move away from him.
Andrew was taken aback, which made him, who was already uneasy because of Ryan's hesitation, break out in a cold sweat.
The shrewd man immediately racked his brains to figure out where he had offended this person.
You must know that this man is the future head of the Gray family, it's a sure thing!
If he were to offend this person, Andrew, being so shrewd, would surely be aware of the consequences.
