"Who are these three? Why have I never met them?"
"I don't know. I've met everyone from the prominent families of New York, but I've never met the three of them."
"Are they not from New York?"
"Not from New York? That's possible. Didn't you see Michael Sinclair going out to welcome them in? Could he be a young master of a prestigious family?"
"If he's not local and was still personally welcomed by Michael Sinclair, he must have quite a high status."
Everyone in the Sinclair family's residence started discussing amongst themselves.
But just then, someone laughed snidely. It was loud and out of place.
"Xavier Wood, what are you laughing at?"
The one laughing was Xavier Wood. His family was just an average family in New York, but Xavier Wood was good at networking and was on good terms with quite a few young masters of the most prominent families. As such, his career and status had risen as well.
