When night falls, all the indoor and outdoor lights at 227 Swan Wharf are lit up.

Most of the outdoor public spaces throughout the manor villa are almost entirely bright as daylight.

The red carpet winds its way from the beautiful British arch at the entrance of the manor to the banquet hall in the garden courtyard.

When the guests get off the bus and land, they can step on the red carpet and walk into the banquet venue.

There is a rock security staff at the door, Lincoln, one of the four King Kongs in Abel's bodyguards, who will be at the door tonight as a welcome guest to check the invitation.

Only guests who match the invitation and the list will be allowed in.

Everyone involved, whether guests or the staff at Rock Security, knew how high-end this dinner was tonight.

Neither rich nor rich can summarize the attributes of these people.

They are the real people at the top of the pyramid of American society, and money and power are the theme of tonight.

This is also the reason why Abel attaches so much importance to security.

In case something happens here, if there's any damage.

Even in his identity, it is not easy to explain.

Other than the staff of the rock security, for safety. He even used personal connections to bring many New York police officers. Chadu was transferred to the vicinity.

Not far from the sea, there is even a New York state. The sea patrol force of the National Guard to avoid any accidents.

With all kinds of security preparations to this extent, Abel felt that unless it was an enemy attack, it would be difficult for anyone to sabotage this banquet.

And the enemy country is coming...... For the United States in this time period, it is impossible to happen except for KBXJ.

So it can be said that no matter what level it is, tonight's banquet is bound to become one of the most talked about and highest-ranking banquets among the upper class of the United States this year.

Not even lost to most of Washington's banquets.

D. Ted Lerner, who felt this atmosphere, got out of his car, and he felt that his whole body was in good spirits.

Being able to participate in a banquet of this level made him feel as if his identity had jumped a lot.

"Wow, that's Cheney up front? Our vice-president is the leading student? ”

After getting out of the car, Daddy Ikana looked at a pair of men and women walking in more than ten meters in front of him, and whispered to Barron Hilton behind him.

Old Barron came with Ted tonight, and when he heard this, he looked ahead and felt that his back was very similar, "It should be Deputy Commander Cheney, and he is also one of the guests tonight." The one next to him seemed to be his daughter, who was seeking to enter the altar in the near future. ”

"Shouldn't this kind of big man appear in the finale? Coming so early? Ikana's dad was a little surprised.

Barron, who was older and more experienced, was obviously much calmer than a somewhat startled old man.

"There will be such a situation, there are only two possibilities."

"Which two are possible?"

"One is that Cheney got the timing wrong."

"It's probably not a big deal......

"It's not big." Hilton's patriarch nodded, "Another possibility is that there are many people with higher status than Cheney in tonight's guests. That's why Cheney chose to come so early. ”

"Yes, yes, yes! It must be this reason! Ikana's father raised his fingers and shook them.

Barron Sr. smiled, not very concerned about Ted's somewhat faux pas.

The old man knew that this was not a sign of Ted's lack of etiquette, but in fact, it was just a way for the other party to maintain his personality to the outside world.

This is the philosophy that belongs to D. Ted Lerner's personal survival in the elite circle, and it is difficult for others to say anything even if they see it.

While the two were chatting, they had already come to Lincoln and the other guards at the door.

As Ikana's dad and Paris's grandpa, Lincoln certainly knew both of them.

But the big black man still had a smile on his face and asked the other party to show the invitation.

The two of them didn't care, knowing that their son-in-law/grandson-in-law was very strict in terms of security.

The invitation was handed over, and there was only one, and Lincoln checked it a little, and then sent the two of them in with a smile on his face.

In fact, if he could, Ikana's father would like to have an independent invitation for himself.

In that case, he could bring in another person, and whoever he brought in would be a very advanced science.

That will become a big favor for him, and whoever receives his favor must accept his favor.

However, he only got half of the invitation, and to be exact, his name on the invitation had been fixed.

It was he and Barron Sr., who shared an invitation.

Ted felt sorry for this, but it was understandable.

Because if only in terms of social status and wealth.

Barron had a little hope of getting an invitation of this level, and he had no hope of Ted Lerner!

Now that he can mix in, this is already his daughter's strength. He didn't know that in parallel time and space, he himself was actually very powerful in the future.

Ted wouldn't dislike the invitation with only half a copy — well, not really.

After all, he wasn't good enough right now.

The two walked inside, unaware that behind them, a father and daughter were discussing the two of them.

Dressed in a Japanese-style tuxedo and dressed very decently, Mitsui Suki, with his well-dressed daughter Mitsui Fuyuko, just got out of the car and saw that he was greeted by Lincoln with a very good attitude.

When it was the turn of the father and daughter, the attitude of the big black bodyguard was very serious, and he paid attention to a business. When checking the invitation letter, even the secret stamp on it had to be carefully checked, and after checking it for several minutes to confirm that it was correct, the Mitsui father and daughter were put in.

Mitsui Suki and Mitsui Fuyuko, the two of them are representatives of the neon people's interests in the United States tonight, so they can get this invitation to enter this top banquet of the empire.

As subordinates of the empire, the neon people and the Han people still have some positions here.

It's like the big men of the ancient tributary states, and sometimes they are also qualified to meet the kings of the Celestial Empire.

After stepping on the red carpet, Mitsui Suki pointed to Ted and Barron in front of his daughter in a flat tone, and then said, "Do you feel anything different?" ”

Mitsui Fuyuko sipped slightly and nodded slightly, "It's a big difference." The black bodyguard was very respectful of them, and he didn't care about us a little. Because we're neon people? ”

Suki Mitsui nodded and shook his head again.

"Maybe it's because we're neon people. But more often than not, it's actually another reason. Can you believe it, Fuyuko. If Lee Jae-seo were here now, he would definitely be more valued than we are. ”

Fuyuko Mitsui was silent, she knew what her father wanted to say.

But she couldn't help it. It took so much time and effort for her to get along with little Laura and get along with each other as friends.

But during that time, Abel Smith was so busy that he didn't have much time to see Laura Bush. She, the "best friend" of little Laura, has no chance to meet him.

Later, Laura Bush didn't even go back to school, and she waited for a message of the other party's suspension.

After she managed to chat with Laura, she learned that she was pregnant and went back to Texas to raise a baby.

Without the very important "building" of Laura Shrub, even if Mitsui Fuyuko has scheming and motivation, she can't get close to Abel's "moon".

No matter how much she wants to "recommend herself for a pillow seat", she must have the opportunity to get close to the other party.

It's not that she doesn't work hard, but her father is now talking about Lee Jae-seo and the two ghosts in front of her.

This made Mitsui Fuyuko feel very aggrieved, but he didn't dare to show it.

She had to bow her head and say, "Hey! Father, I will be more ...... will work harder to meet your and the family's requirements. ”

"Hey—"

Mitsui Suki sighed softly.

In fact, if he could, a figure of his level in Neon would want his favorite daughter to be a "concubine".

Or give a lot of times in fact, in their hearts, they are very despised rice beasts and ghosts as concubines. This is also a very uncomfortable thing for Mitsui Suki himself.

But who called Mitsui Suki is not the patriarch, not the main lineage. In order to stabilize his power and increase his voice in the family, he even took the initiative to ask his brother and family to let Fuyuko achieve this task.

It was still at his insistence and promotion that the Mitsui family sent Mitsui Fuyuko instead of other family members.

In other words, this is actually Mitsui Suki's own fault.

Now looking at her daughter like this, Mitsui Suki has no choice but to be ruthless and continue to strengthen her daughter's psychological construction.

"Look ahead, Fuyuko. I'm not referring to Hilton and Lerner, I'm more front. See? That's Cheney, Richard Bruce Cheney, the deputy commander of the country. Even this kind of person arrived at Abel Smith's banquet so early. Do you know what that means? It means that there are more big names in the back, and more valuable guys than Richard Bruce Cheney appear. ”

Mitsui Fuyuko nodded gently, she is not stupid, on the contrary, she is very smart. Even in fact, her ambition is not small, it can be said that she is neon Kayla Wilson.

The difference between her and Kayla is that Kayla's father has only two children, and the male one is not yet fertile.

And Mitsui Suki has multiple children, and she is just one of them. And Slade Wilson is the one in power, and her father has to curry favor with the one in power for the sake of power.

At the same time, neon women are indeed inferior to many places in terms of social status.

That's why she's treated almost differently from Kayla now.

But in essence, she's a neon Kayla.

Beautiful, intelligent, ambitious, and more patient than Kayla.

"So ......" Looking at her smart and beautiful daughter since she was a child, Mitsui Suki said softly: "Actually, you know what to do, right?" If you can do it, I think it will help you and me a lot. That rice ...... That American, in this respect, really does not look like an American at all. He is more like an ancient Chinese king, which is really a strange thing. ”

Mitsui Fuyuko didn't speak, but nodded lightly.

Ancient Chinese kings——

This is actually an evaluation of Abel Smith's personality and hobbies within the Neon Man's high-level management. It is a summary of their personality after collecting a lot of information related to Abel's aspects.

Looking at her daughter's appearance, Mitsui Suki actually knows that it's not Dongzi who doesn't do things.

It's really hard to do, and the one seems to be wary of their neon people.

If Dongzi wants to really complete the task, he has missed the early opportunity, unlike the two daughters of the Li family of Hanguo.

This can't be blamed on Fuyuko, Mitsui Suki just encouraged her, and didn't really blame her.

The father and daughter quickly shifted the conversation to the other guests at tonight's banquet.

At this time, when the guests from all walks of life arrived at 227 Swan Wharf one after another.

At the main entrance of the banquet hall of the Manor Villa, Abel and Kayla had also appeared there as hosts to greet the guests.

Looking at the crowded and noisy scenes outside, there are also super big people in various countries who come one after another.

Abel didn't react much, he was still calm, and he had seen a lot of this kind of big scene.

What's more, he is also a born-again, and in this regard, he is naturally qualified to be neither humble nor arrogant in the face of anyone.

When he was still a small rich man, he was able to face the consortium bigwigs with such a mentality.

What's more, now that he has climbed to the top of the pyramid, he has greater confidence and strength, and this aspect is naturally more different.

On the contrary, it was Kayla who was holding his arm, and at this moment her fair and beautiful face was flushed with excitement and excitement, and the upturned curvature of the corners of her mouth on both sides did not mean to return to its original position throughout the whole process.

At this moment, Kayla forgot about her grievances as a "concubine" long ago.

She thought to herself, if only she could keep going like this. It doesn't seem to be an unacceptable thing to be Abel's girlfriend all the time, and even give birth to him.

Seeing her excited appearance, Abel had a faint smile on his face, calmly patted Kayla's little hand and said, "Let's go, our first person has arrived." ”

"Hmm." Kayla took a deep breath secretly, and a brighter smile appeared on her extremely ruddy face.

Tonight's hosts, the top figures of the Empire, welcomed their first guests with graceful smiles on their faces and in a light that seemed to be daylight—Alan Greenspan, the head of the Federal Reserve, and Leo Melamede, chairman of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.

The former's name is better known to Chinese people, and he may even be the most famous Fed chair in American history.

But in fact, Leo Melamed's status in the United States is not much inferior to Alan Greenspan.

In addition to being Chairman of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, Leo Melamed is also a globally recognized founder of financial futures and a Hall of Fame in the financial world known as the "Father of the Modern Futures Market".

At the same time, these two are also the top existence of oilers in the United States, and their reputation within the oilers in the United States is comparable to the prestige of middle-aged Guo Jing in the Great Martial Arts.

Such a person with such a noble status that even the owner of the White House has to pay attention to it, but he came so early.

This has actually proved from the side how much the oilers value Abel Smith.

Even when participating in the banquet, Alan Greenspan still wore his trademark thick-rimmed myopic glasses, combed his hair meticulously, and with Leo Melamed with a faint smile on his face, looking at the pair of young handsome men and beauties in front of him, the focus was actually mainly on Abel.

The two oil guys couldn't help but sigh secretly in their hearts at this time, this is really a young man who makes everyone envious.

Can the oilers continue to maintain their position in the United States, or even climb the ladder further?

The future may fall on the young man in front of him.

This is also the reason why the two of them, as well as the other oilers who received the invitation, almost all came early, which gave Abel a lot of face.
