When Julius Reed returned, the dishes had already been served.
The atmosphere at the table was very strange.
Fabian Percival and Itai Huntington were sitting close to each other, but both wore murderous expressions on their faces.
Roosevelt Chide, on the other hand, had a smile on his face and was chatting merrily with Jay King at his side.
Quella Radcliffe was eating alone in silence.
The business discussion, which had been harmonious enough, became somewhat more intense with the sudden appearance of Fabian Percival.
The dining table was charged with tension.
"Mr. Reed," Chopter lifted his glass and swirled it gently with a smile, "I hear you laid hands on Odingle—the owner of the Northern restaurant; is that true?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone at the table stopped their movements with their utensils.
The incident of Julius Reed beating Odingle was witnessed by Itai Huntington herself!
