Chapter 352 - Old Xiong after Two Years (1/2)
While the two were immersed in their own world, shortly after, Old Xiong finally arrived in the banquet.
Zhou Min checked his watch. It has been an hour since Young Miss went to the longue. They should have reunited very well, right?
The Young Miss was taken away for such a long time, there naturally were people who looked for her. Butler Zhou Min simply made a few excuses.
It should be about time she returned.
They needed to come back here now before the 'announcement'. This was such a historical event that it was a pity to miss it.
Old Xiong saw Zhou Min. He looked behind him and not finding what he was looking for, the old man's brows furrowed.
”Where's Zhi'er?”
Zhou Min's calm face was still like an ocean. ”Young Miss is entertaining the guests.”
It was true in some sense.
Old Xiong nodded and did not ask anymore. The banquet hall was huge and was filled of people, so he did not bother to look for Xiong Zhi.
He walked forward. As usual, the presence of the Tiger Xiong was so great and domineering that the guests stopped with what they were doing and slowly gathered to his side.
They greeted the old man with respect and graceful bearings, with their best demeanors. They wanted to impress and curry the Tiger's favor but at the same time keep their image and dignity.
They were like peac.o.c.ks approaching with unfurled tails.
With this, Old Xiong simply ignored the small fries. He was long immune to this kinds of greeting after a long time.
He was given the seat of honor just beside Xiong Zhi's.
The old man looked at the tables of the most important guests. The representatives of each legendary family approached his table one by one. They congratulated him for the successful anniversary and sent their well-wishes for the continuing glory of the Xiong Empire and the legendary families. However, the one he was looking for was not among them.
'Where's that brat?'
Then the people from other Xiong branches came to pay respects to him.
Among them, Xiong De and his daughter was the one who gave the most remarkable greeting.
”Master Xiong, I am glad you've recovered well and took care of your health. I still look forward to Master Xiong guiding the younger generations and ensuring the future of the Xiong Empire.”
In between the lines, 'So you're still alive.'
”...” Old Xiong ears' twitched. Why did he feel like this man was cursing him to die instead?
”Do you see me as dead?”
Xiong De's face paled a bit nervously. Did he know something?
A man who has done a terrible conspiracy, that could cause his own downfall if caught, was surely burdened by it all the time. This was what Xiong De was feeling every moment he meets the first branch's Old Xiong and Xiong Zhi, or even Xiong Bilan.
Old Xiong ignored his pale face and snorted. ”I am alive and kicking. What kind of ominous allusions are you talking about?”
Before Xiong De could speak, the old man continued.
