NovelStartThe banquet hall was brimming with well-dressed guests who were in groups of twos and threes
chatting away happily.
These were socialites who were fond of banquets. Of course, more than admiring their fellow guests
who were good-looking and sampling the finest wine around the world, these socialites were also there
to expand their own social circle.
Today’s banquet was held by Parker Jenkins and those that received the invitation came dressed in
their best. Most of them even came to the venue early to show their respect to Parker.
After entering the hall, Skylar and Dianne walked around for a bit but they could not find Parker or
Miles. They then decided to take a seat and helped themselves to the buffet spread while they waited.
“Who do they think they are? Coming here cadging free meals like gluttons!” exclaimed Alex with
disdain as he looked at them from a distance.
No matter how capable Skylar was, in Alex’s eyes, he was still a hillbilly who was lucky to be adopted
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtby his penniless Uncle Nathaniel.
However, Alex was so fearful of Skylar that he only dared to curse Skylar under his breath instead of
doing it to his face.
After a while, there was a commotion at the door, and someone exclaimed loudly, “It’s Parker! Parker is
here!”
Everyone turned towards the door.
They could see Parker strutting in with an air of importance while being flanked by a few followers.
“Mr. Parker!”
“Parker!”
The guests started approaching Parker to greet him.
Parker nodded and smiled as he walked in. He could not help but feel like a king who was making his
rounds inspecting his royal court subjects.
When Parker reached the center of the hall, both Robert and Alex Fuller immediately stood up and
walked to him.
“Oh, you’re, here, Mr. Parker!” greeted Robert with a honeyed tone.
“Yeah.”
Parker just nodded to the two Fullers haughtily and looked ahead again as he walked on.
Contented, Robert and Alex stepped aside without a shred of displeasure on their faces. After all, they
were not the only ones present who wanted to kiss up to Parker on that day.
Making Parker nod and smile was an achievement in itself.
Ten years ago, Robert expanded his crystal business to Troitz county and managed to amass an asset
of more than one billion dollars today. He had more than earned his place in the business world of
Troitz county.
However, he was still an outsider in Troitz county. For him to continue to be able to do business in
Troitz country, he knew he could not afford to offend someone as important as Parker.
Of course, if he was able to continue to cling to Parker, Robert had no doubts that he would be able to

Just as Parker was enjoying the attention that was showered upon him, a voice cut through the noisy
crowd.
So you are the legendary Parker Jenkins.”
The voice was still and it was not loud, but it sent a chill down the spines of those who heard it.
It shook everyone and they turned towards the source of the voice.
Their eyes fell on Skylar, who was sitting at a table and looking at Parker. He was rubbing his chin
calmly.
With a puzzled expression, the other guests started murmuring among themselves.
“Who’s his guy? How did he come into the banquet hall if he didn’t even know Parker?”
“Did he sneak in uninvited to cadge a free meal?”
“If he’s here for free food, shouldn’t he be more inconspicuous? I bet he’s here to stir up trouble.”
Ignoring the murmurs, Skylar flashed a smile at Parker and said, “I’m here today to take your worthless
life, Parker.”
