Chapter 559 Family Banquet "According to the information sent back by the spies who infiltrated the Chaotic Land, we have now learned about the person who injured you, Patriarch."
"He claims to be a messenger of God, and his strength is just as the patriarch predicted, an eighth-order rank that hasn't appeared on the continent for hundreds of years."
“Currently, the ‘Cult of Madness’ he leads has already annexed two-thirds of the Chaos Lands,” Jonas said, standing behind Fiddle as he recounted information about the Chaos Lands.
Ford raised his hand, took a puff of his cigar, and exhaled heavily, "Eighth rank..."
Although Ferd was reluctant to admit it, an eighth-order being was indeed beyond the current capabilities of the Gray family.
The Gray family is not a family that has been passed down for thousands of years. When the Gray family rose to prominence, eighth-order individuals had already disappeared from the continent, so there was no way to deal with eighth-order individuals.
"Make the spies in the chaotic lands keep their sharpness low and act cautiously."
"Send the family's merchant guild to the Chaotic Lands to secretly buy up food and sell weapons there. Don't worry about the gold coins."
After finishing his cigar, Ford gave Jonas instructions.
Jonas nodded: "Yes."
...
The banquet was held as scheduled the following evening.
Because it was a family dinner, the Gray family did not invite members of other families; only people with the Gray surname were present at the banquet.
There were quite a few people who came to the family from the family territory this time, more than fifty in total, all of whom were prominent figures in the Gray family territory.
For example, Gareth Gray, who oversees the affairs of the Teford family estate.
Aiden Gray, the chief knight of the family's territory, is responsible for the security of the territory.
Andrew Gray, who was in charge of the family's land taxes and all the merchant guilds and was known as the family's moneybags, etc...
Without a doubt, everyone who has come to this family dinner is a core member of the Gray family.
Even before that, several people in the family territory fought each other over a single spot to attend the family banquet.
This shows how important this banquet was.
At the banquet, everyone knew what Fred's purpose was in hosting it.
Therefore, as the main character of the banquet, Ryan was naturally the focus of the entire event, and everyone surrounded him, hoping to become familiar with him.
Several of the higher-ranking and more powerful individuals also came up to Renn with wine glasses to offer a toast.
"Good evening, Young Master Renn. I am Gareth Gray. I am entrusted by the head of the family to manage the daily affairs of the family estate. It is a great honor to meet you at the banquet tonight."
"On behalf of all the staff of the family territory, I extend my sincerest respect to you. May we, under your leadership, jointly create glory for the Grey family. Respectfully, young master."
Gareth was a man a bit older than Ford, with graying temples, but his face was full of energy.
Today he was wearing a black tuxedo with a white undershirt, much like Jonas, which made him look very capable and reliable.
Ryan smiled and lightly clinked glasses with Gareth. According to the information that Ford had given him, Gareth was a very loyal person to the family.
He became his right-hand man after he inherited the family business.
"Steward Gareth is too kind. My father often tells me about your loyalty to the Grey family. With you in charge of the family territory, we are very at ease."
Gareth finished his glass of red wine and bowed slightly to Renn: "Thank you for your trust, Master and Young Master."
After speaking, Gareth took two steps back, giving the floor to the two people beside him.
Seeing this, Aiden stepped forward and toasted Ryan before Andrew could.
