King's Awakening

“Mr. Duke, Mr. Duke, Mr. Duke…”

Watching Amanda heading towards White Mitchell, Maddox hastily called after her.

However, Amanda acted as if she didn’t hear his voice at all and kept walking forward.

Maddox, looking at this situation, seemed bewildered.

Nonetheless, he had no choice but to follow her.

“Maybe, Amanda is just intending to go and taunt Longman?” Maddox consoled himself.

At that moment, the members of the Cooper family were also clinging to that hope.

Soon, Amanda casually strolled up to White Mitchell in front of everyone.

At this moment, Longman, in a playful manner, raised his head and glanced at

Amanda.

However, Amanda simply gave him a sidelong glance and immediately withdrew her attention.

Longman, with a look of boredom, rolled his eyes, appearing rather vexed. Seeing the tension between the two, the Cooper family seemed relieved.

However, before they had a chance to celebrate, Amanda boldly sat down next to Longman.

Whoo!

When Amanda sat down, there was an immediate uproar in the room as everyone looked on in disbelief.

The rivalry between Amanda and Longman was well-known in Sayon.

Yet, surprisingly, these two people, known for their mutual dislike, were now sitting together, sharing a meal!

The audience was startled by this unexpected turn of events.

This was an even bigger surprise than seeing a mirage.

Meanwhile, Maddox, with a look of panic, hurried over to Amanda, bent down, and respectfully asked, “Mr. Duke, what is the meaning of this?”

Maddox’s expression was rather downcast, but he didn’t dare to provoke Amanda, only bowing his head in front of her.

Furthermore, in an effort to get Amanda on his side, Maddox reminded her, “Mr. Duke, Mr. Herb will be here shortly. I have arranged for his seat to be at the main table.”

“Your seat is next to Mr. Herb, enabling you to have a better chance of communication.

“These outside seats are for the employees. With your esteemed status, how can you sit here?”

Maddox tried to appease Amanda with a plethora of sycophantic remarks, fearing that she wouldn’t support him.

Despite all of Maddox’s attempts to win her over, Amanda acted as if she hadn’t heard at all. Instead, she threw a cold glance at him and snapped, “What? If Longman can sit here, can’t I, Amanda?”

This…?

Hearing this, Maddox broke out in cold sweat. Amanda’s sharp gaze had left him trembling.

The Cooper family members, upon hearing Amanda’s words, were taken aback.

What in the world was happening?

Was Amanda trying to challenge Longman?

The Cooper family exchanged puzzled glances, not understanding Amanda’s motive.

Maddox couldn’t fathom the situation either. He suddenly felt at a loss.

Maddox quickly apologized, “Yes, yes, yes…Mr. Duke, you can sit wherever you like. It’s just that…

Maddox hesitated for a moment before continuing, “It’s just that, David Herb will be here soon. If you are sitting here, I’m afraid he might think I’m not treating him well.”

Mr. Duke, would you prefer to sit at the main table inside? It would be more appropriate.

This way, you can get closer to Mr. Herb, it would be more convenient for chatting and having conversations. Unlike the chaos out here, it wouldn’t hinder your conversation.

Maddox flashes a flattering smile, trying his best to make himself pleasing.

However, despite his various attempts to flatter her, Amanda remains indifferent and impervious to his fawning overtures.

Then, in a nonchalant tone, she replies, “It’s alright, go on with your duties.”

Huh?

Upon hearing these words, Maddox’s brow furrows instantly. These words…

where has he heard them before?

Lost in bewilderment, Maddox instinctively turns his gaze upon Longman.

There he sees Longman, looking all carefree and insolent, pours a glass of water for Amanda and in a bantering tone, says, “Why bother talking so much with them?

Just tell them to piss off, I can’t stand your polite manners. It’s so pretentious. Just ask him straight – do you comply or not? If not, beat him until he does!”

At Longman’s words, all eyes on the scene are startled; it takes them a moment to process his audacity.

Following this, they are even more shocked at the sight of Amanda, who, shooting a disgruntled glance at Longman, slowly rises to her feet and walks towards White Mitchell, calling him respectfully, “Mr. Mitchell!”

A gasp goes up!

Those around her are astounded, their eyes nearly popping out of their heads at the sight of this.

“My God! Am I seeing this right, Amanda, that’s Amanda! How could she be so respectful towards that kid?”

“This is trouble. Amanda clearly isn’t here to wish Old Cooper a happy birthday, she’s here to back up White Mitchell!”

“The two underground kings of Sayon are supporting him at the same time?

Just who the hell is that kid?”

The crowd is overwhelmed with astonishment. If Longman’s presence was surprising enough, now the two underground kings of Sayon stand by White Mitchell’s side.

This can’t be described as shocking, it’s downright terrifying!

Since the division of the underground world of Sayon ten years ago, these two underground kings never once saw eye to eye.

And now, here they were, supporting White Mitchell.

What was even more shocking was that their demeanor suggested utter respect for White Mitchell, as if he were their liege.

Hisss!

At this thought, everyone present is unable to suppress their shudder, a tenseness creeping from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads.

Cooper family’s faces drained of color with Maddox stunned into silence.

Frustration, rage, resentment… all sorts of complex emotions welled up inside him.

Maddox was so infuriated he could feel his heart condition acting up.

“Well then! I’ll take my leave first! I won’t disturb Mr. Duke!” Maddox seethed through gritted teeth. Then, in a fit of rage, he turned on his heels and stormed off the scene along with his relatives.

Longman causing trouble was one thing, but now even Amanda was here to stir things up. Where was the Cooper family to hide their faces?

Enraged, the Cooper family started to console Maddox.

“Master, please, you must keep your composure now more than ever, we cannot afford to be panic. We still have David Herb!”

“Exactly, Master. We must regroup and treat David Herb properly, in order to prepare for the great man’s wedding. With this, we will have a chance to turn the tide!”

“Indeed, Master.. As long as we faithfully serve the powerful person behind

David Herb, there will come a day when Longman and Amanda will kneel at our feet! “
