King's Awakening

Before coming, they had learned that the purpose of the martial arts meeting today was to commend a group of individuals who had made outstanding contributions in the conflict within the Weiden family.

As for the specific list of commendations, the Martial Department did not disclose it, saying that it would be announced at the commencement of the meeting.

The Jones family looked forward to the occasion with anticipation upon receiving the news.

“This is quite a big show. It seems that the Martial Department has invested a lot in trying to win our favor,” said an excited Will Jones.

Amanda, standing nearby, couldn’t help but say: “Is this real, Will? It’s unbelievable that we have become the distinguished guests of Martial Department.

In the past, we could only dream of such an honor.

I hope nothing goes wrong today, will it?”

Clearly, amidst the excitement, Amanda was somewhat worried.

After all, to her, it all seemed quite surreal.

The Jones family was only a third-tier force in Sayon, their reputation unremarkable even in the Sayon business world.

But now, they had suddenly received this honor and the attention of the Martial Department.

Furthermore, according to Will and his group, the martial department was trying to please them.

This was all so thrilling, it seemed unreal.

After hearing Amanda’s words, Old Madam Jones immediately reprimanded: “Silence! This is a big day for the Jones family. Why are you saying such disheartening things?

The reality is right in front of us; it couldn’t possibly be fake, could it?”

Meanwhile, Lisa Jones, who was leading the group, found it amusing to see the Jones family’s apprehensive demeanor.

“Just look at you all, acting like you’ve never seen the world before. It’s no wonder the Sayon branch fell into such a state,” Lisa said sarcastically.

The members of the Jones family felt somewhat offended on hearing this, but they did not dare to say anything.

Then Lisa continued: “I don’t care about your past behavior, but today, you’re all following me.

So, please leave behind your petty acts. This constant alarm is causing unease.

You are representing the Jones family of Capital City.

If you embarrass us, I will not spare you!”

Upon hearing this, the Jones family uttered no rebuttal but nodded their heads in agreement.

Snowden Jones, who was standing nearby, enthusiastically said: “What Miss Lisa said is right. Mother, change your mindset.

Now that we have Miss Lisa’s support, our family’s situation is way different than before.

Surpassing David Herb and the rest is only a matter of time. We can surely handle the Martial Department’s flattery.”

Amanda agreed without saying much.

Will chimed in: “Snowden’s right. With Lisa here, it’s high time the Jones family stood tall!

Neither David Herb nor Longman nor Amanda can hold a candle to Miss Lisa.

Those blind fools dare to neglect Miss Lisa and fawn over White Mitchell’s bastard.

Just wait until the end of today’s event; they will regret it.

Afterwards, it won’t just be them facing misfortune, but we will also make that White Mitchell pay!”

The mood of Lisa Jones, who was walking ahead, had clearly lifted after hearing these compliments. Wearing her high heels, she confidently strode into the awards ceremony grounds at the Sayon Martial Department.

However, amidst their triumph, they saw a figure that they least wanted to see at the awards ceremony.

White Mitchell!

“How could they be here!?” Will’s brows instantly furrowed with disgust upon seeing White Mitchell’s presence upon their arrival.

They had decidedly not invited White Mitchell and his clique, yet there he was at the event.

How could this not infuriate him?

“He probably got his hands on the news somewhere and found out that he was on the Martial Department’s invitation list, so he shamelessly tagged along.

White Mitchell is just like a persistent pest that turns up everywhere; he is such a menace!” Snowden angrily articulated.

Lisa, on seeing this, gave White Mitchell a casual glance before casually saying, “Go, drive them away. They want to benefit from the Jones family of Capital City, but they are not fit to!”

Without hesitation, Will and his daughter walked over aggressively towards White Mitchell.

Meanwhile, White Mitchell, who was unaware of the Jones family’s arrival, was trying to console Sherry Jones, who seemed visibly upset.

Ever since the last incident at the Jones house, Sherry’s mood had been low.

She was unable to eat or focus, lost in her thoughts.

Clearly, she regretted her carelessness and felt guilty for White Mitchell, who had become the target of the Jones family because of her.

“Brother, maybe we should leave. I heard that the Martial Department is holding this meeting to please the people of the Capital City Jones family. If Lisa and her people find out, they will not spare us.

We’ve run out of options; there’s no need to provoke them again.” Sherry Jones fretfully said.

Just thinking about it was enough to predict the catastrophe that would ensue if the people of the Jones family found out they were here.

To please the Jones family of Capital City?

Hardly!

White Mitchell laughed dismissively at the idea. Although he didn’t know what Jayden was up to, he was sure that Jayden had decided to host the awards ceremony in response to his own orders.

Not only that, but Jayden had even invited the people from the Jones family of Capital city.

Jayden had clearly prepared a theatre of events for him.

“You’ll be fine, I am here. Today, all you have to do is sit back and watch,” White Mitchell reassured her.

Sherry smiled bitterly, feeling that White Mitchell was just trying to comfort her.

Although they had arrived in the Martial Department’s private car that morning, in her opinion, it was only because the Martial Department was trying to please Lisa, a case of loving the house and its crow.

The people of the Martial Department had no idea about the enmity between White Mitchell and Lisa.

If they had known earlier, they wouldn’t have sent the car to pick them up.

With this thought in mind, Sherry felt even more bitter, and she prayed that Lisa and her people wouldn’t discover White Mitchell’s presence.

However, things didn’t go as she had hoped, and the thing she feared most happened.

The Jones Family had arrived!

Seeing Will and his daughter heading towards them with an aggressive demeanor, Sherry’s heart sank. Instinctively, she gripped White Mitchell’s arm, preparing to avoid them.

But Will and his daughter, with their aggressive attitude, were not going to let them slip away easily.

As soon as they noticed Sherry and White Mitchell attempting to leave, they barked: “Stop right there! Can you hide from us!? You’re quite bold!

You actually dared to come here on your own?

Who gave you permission to come here? Did you ask us!?

You shameless inverterbrate! Aren’t you going to come here!?”
