“Mr. Torres, there’s one more thing we have to be on guard against. Since Hugo has graced us with his presence, then tomorrow Bruce... ?”
A member of the Torres family couldn’t help but stop-notch up. Although mentioning Bruce at this time was a little like raining on his parade, what he said was also the truth.
When the Torres family members heard this, they also nodded. Following that, a worried look appeared on their faces.
If Bruce dared to appear tomorrow, the Torres family definitely wouldn’t let him off easily.
However, if Hugo were to see this, he would probably have a bad impression of the Torres family.
Moreover, getting violent during a birthday celebration was inappropriate. This was a rule in Porta. If Bruce were to really cause a ruckus, the Torres family would really be humiliated. Moreover, it would be in front of Hugo.
Thinking of this, everyone became even more worried.
However, after Vincent heard this, a look of disapproval appeared on his old face. He didn’t seem to be worried about this matter at all.
“You guys are actually so scared of Bruce? Don’t forget, we have already invited top-notch martial artists to deal with him.
There wouldn’t be any violence on his birthday. that was for sure. However, twenty top-notch martial artists were more than enough to take him down without bloodshed.
“It’s not like he is invincible. What’s there to panic about?” Vincent said disapprovingly with his face full of smugness.
When everyone heard this, their faces instantly lit up with joy. The worry they had just now completely vanished into thin air.
When Vincent saw this, he nodded his head in satisfaction and continued, “People like Bruce are nobodies. There’s nothing to worry about.
“Right now, your main focus is to think of a way to spread the news that Hugo will be attending the birthday banquet tomorrow as much as possible.
“This time, we must establish the Torres family’s prestige in front of everyone in Porta! Do you all understand?”
Understood!
Vincent’s call was met with a hundred responses. The Torres family’s members, who had just taken a break, instantly started to get busy again.
There wasn’t much time left for them. Tomorrow was Vincent’s birthday banquet.
They had to spread the news that Hugo was coming to attend the birthday banquet within a night.
The main point was to let the other wealthy families in Porta know how much Hugo valued the Torres family, so as to bolster the Torres family’s prestige.
This was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Torres family!
If they could use this opportunity to use Hugo as a conduit to get closer to the big shot that Hugo had been fawning on recently, it would be all the more icing on the cake!
However, these were all things to be considered later. The most urgent thing now was to spread the news of Hugo’s arrival as much as possible.
For the entire night, the Torres family had mobilized almost all of their resources and spared no effort in their efforts.
After an entire night of hard work, early the next morning, many of the wealthy families of Porta had just returned to work when they saw the news from the Torres family on their desks.
What!? Hugo was actually preparing to attend Vincent’s birthday banquet?
This news was like a bomb that completely exploded in Porta and caused a buzz.
Countless wealthy families in Porta couldn’t help but envy Vincent.
How prestigious was he to be able to get on Hugo’s good side?
Moreover, in Porta, who didn’t know that Hugo had become a mysterious big shot with immense power?
To get on Hugo’s good side was equivalent to getting on that mysterious big shot’s good side.
No matter what, they would be able to reap benefits from riding on Hugo’s coattails.
Many people in Porta dreamed of establishing a good relationship with Hugo, but they never expected that the Torres family would beat them to it.
At this moment, the Torres family was undoubtedly a rising star in Porta. Countless people were watching their rise.
..
Porta, Zane Co.!
“Outrageous! On what basis? On what basis? What is the Torres family so lucky? How can Zane Co. be outmatched by the Torres family!?”
After Thomas received the news, he flew into a rage and lost his composure.
“Thomas, calm down first. We can’t solve anything by fretting. Let’s think about it carefully. Did we do something wrong?” Peggy tried to persuade him, but there was also a hint of confusion in her tone.
In terms of strength, Zane Co. wasn’t weaker than the Torres family. In terms of influence, Thomas had been in Porta all these years, and he had done everything flawlessly. Many people were deferential to him.
However, in this situation where he wasn’t any less outstanding than the Torres family, when Hugo was preparing the wedding for that mysterious big shot, he said that he would exclude Zane Co.?
Now, Hugo was going to personally attend Vincent’s birthday banquet.
This made Thomas feel even more that the matter was unacceptable and unreasonable.
Peggy furrowed her brows and guessed, “Thomas, do you think that it’s because of us banning Bruce that Hugo had a bad impression of us?”
Bruce?
When he heard this name, Thomas’s face showed a hint of disgust.
However, disgust was one thing, but Peggy’s words weren’t without reason.
Him banning Bruce was indeed too big of a commotion, so it wasn’t impossible for Hugo to have known about it and have a bad impression of him.
Thinking of this, Thomas took a deep breath and immediately said in a cold voice, “Inform the people below to temporarily suspend the ban on Bruce to minimize the negative impact!
At the same time, contact Hugo Group as soon as possible and make sure to get a spot for the wedding project.
“You can personally take care of these two matters. I’m worried about leaving these tasks to other people. It’ll be hard on you during this period of time.”
When Peggy heard this, she nodded. Since things had come to this, she could only try her best to get back on Hugo’s good side.
After all, that big shot was someone that even Hugo had to curry favor with. If Zane Co. didn’t seize this opportunity, then they could only watch others profit.
..
The Torres family of Porta!
“Mr. Torres, look. These are all congratulatory gifts sent over by people from the various prominent families. These people originally didn’t plan to come, but now they’re scrambling to give us gifts.”
“Right, right, right. My phone has been bombarded with calls early in the morning. Many of our customers who originally weren’t free to attend the birthday banquet are now fighting to come over.”
“Mr. Torres, in my opinion, we need to add more seats tonight. Otherwise, there won’t be enough seats.”
Everyone from the Torres family started chiming in and everyone was overjoyed.
At this moment, they had completely forgotten about Bruce, a nobody. They were wholeheartedly focused on strengthening the Torres family’s reputation.
Vincent, who saw this scene, felt even more smug. He teased pretentiously, “Look at all of you. This is just the beginning.
There will be plenty of days like this in the future. As long as you perform well, the Torres family will be the number one wealthy family below Hugo in the future!”
After hearing this, the Torres family members became even more invigorated. Everyone was in a state of complacency and seemed to be in high spirits.
Seeing this, Vincent couldn’t help but show a satisfied smile. After that, he said calmly, “Let those top-notch martial artists we invited deal with Bruce.
Tell them not to let Bruce appear at the banquet. Deal with him at the periphery. As long as there is no violence, they can do anything.
Just don’t let me see him at the banquet!”
