Every single one of the guests got to their feet at Adam's appearance. "Mr. Santoro!" they greeted. Jacob had not foreseen Adam's arrival and was astonished.
"Mr. Santoro, what brings you here today?" Jacob inquired as he came up to Adam briskly.
"I'd be remiss to forego personally congratulating Hillsborough's youngest sect founder." Adam quirked his lips.
Jaylen had a gloomy look as he caught sight of Adam but still addressed him courteously, "Mr. Santoro."
Adam's gaze raked him up and down before he uttered dismissively, "Scram."
Jaylen silently pulled Sebastian along and hastily departed. Adam's presence added to Jacob's glory as he was said to be exceptionally caring toward the latter. However, it seemed there was much more to it than just plain care and concern.
Even Virgil and the other young and talented fighters were green with envy at Adam's attitude toward Jacob.
