However, even though he was startled, Edward still had a look of ease on his face and spoke his mind with a joking tone.
"Five million... To be honest, you gave me quite a scare, is it really worth that much for just a banquet?"
"It depends on whom," Yang Andes said with a smile, "If it's for His Majesty you, I think any amount of investment is worthwhile."
The word "His Majesty" made the corners of Edward's mouth unwittingly rise.
Although he quickly composed his face again, that fleeting expression did not escape Yang Andes's eyes.
"In consideration of our friendship, I will forgive your impudence... My father is still alive, he is the true lord of the entire duchy."
"That was presumptuous of me." Yang Andes said respectfully, nodding his head.
