Chapter 5808
Julie’s face worsened instantly.
“We’re only here to have a chat and a midnight snack, Julie. It doesn’t matter where we have it anyway,” Mandy said with a smile.
“Since this is where Mr. Stefan eats, let’s just let him have it. Is it fine if we get another room instead, Vanny?”
Vanny, smiling, was just about to speak up. But Rhodes, who had been looking for a moment to shine, took a step forward first.
“You must be mistaken, Mandy. The three great temples are powerful in the outskirts, but they’re nothing to the top ten families.
“I know you’re kind and approachable, and you think it’s fine just to hand over the room…
“But the others wouldn’t think that way. If we actually do that, they’d think of the top ten families as pushovers.
“We need to have strength of character.
“I usually don’t like to bring my identity out like this, but I don’t think I have a choice right now. Don’t worry, Julie; with me here, you won’t be wronged.”
Julie seemed pleased to hear Rhodes’ words.
A few figures quickly passed by through the corridor. Stefan and Takai were at the front, with Nanako and the other Islanders behind them.
Since Takai could already move freely, his first plan was to return to his own country. Naturally, Stefan was going to send him off.
After seeing these people approaching, Rhodes walked over with a cold stare.
“It’s been a while, Mr. Stefan.
“My senior, Maiden Julie, is using the room.
“I’m afraid I can’t hand it over right now. Maybe you should eat somewhere else.
“After all, you know full well my background, my identity, and my skills.
“I don’t want to take advantage of others, but I hope you know your own limits.”
Rhodes crossed his arms with an arrogant expression Seeing the pompous look on his face, Stefan and Takai’s eyes instantly turned icy.
‘When did someone from the Kronen Temple get the right to show off like this? It’s fine if a consul comes, but a mere Maiden…’
Stefan thought.
Before he could say anything, he instantly froze-a dumbfounded look settled on his face. Everyone from the Takashima family looked awful as well.
They could see Harvey standing in the crowd.
They didn’t think he’d be here!
Nanako gritted her teeth in anger, but she had no choice but to bow; she knew that for her own sake, she had to back down.
Takai saw red when he came across his arch-nemesis, but he still cupped his hands as a greeting. As an expert, he still wanted to put up a front.
“Let’s go somewhere else, Mr. Stefan,” he said.
