Chapter 407
“There’s also us, the Falkners!”
“And me, Lance Song!”
“Gravik Kansas from the Kansas family!”
“Me too.”
Right after Stephen’s voice subsided, another large group of people entered the front yard, taking up almost every inch of space. They all took turns to give Jane a present, wished her, and then stood behind Andrius.
The gentry were all powerful figures in the capital; one word from any of them could easily wipe out the Conerys. Now, all of them were attending Jane’s 70th birthday with valuable presents and a heartfelt blessing.
The Conerys, Jane included, looked at each other in confusion. The situation had escalated beyond Jane’s imagination.
With that many wealthy gentries opposing him, Stephen’s wrinkled face turned grim. “Are you people sure you want to stand against me? Are you all aware that I am Stephen Hoffman?”
The masters of the wealthy families knew the name Stephen Hoffman, but they were ever more familiar with the Wolf King.
Stephen Hoffman was nothing in front of the Wolf King. One sneeze from the Wolf King was enough to kill the man ten times over if he had the chance to step up.
Edgar scoffed and said, “I don’t care if you are Stephen Hoffman or Stephen King. Today is Madam Montecarlo’s 70th birthday. Whoever tries to cause a scene here will be deemed to be going against us.”
“Edgar is right!”
“We will wreck whoever causes a scene here!”
“Stephen Hoffman, you came to the wrong place!”
All of them stood up against Stephen’s threat without backing down, infuriating him.
The gentries were usually cowards before him. No one dared to even raise their voices at him, but now when they teamed up, their combined confidence skyrocketed.
“Fine. Fine. Fine!”
Stephen blurted out ‘fine‘ three times. His eyes narrowed viciously as he scanned all the masters of their houses. He remembered their faces and said, “I will make all of you pay! Don’t you forget this!”
Stephen then called his men back with a raised hand. “Let’s go.”
“Hold on,” Andrius, who barely spoke, announced. He said calmly but coldly, “I didn’t say you can leave.”
The Wolf King had spoken. Even the most notorious villain revered him, let alone a nobody, Stephen Hoffman.
If Andrius simply allowed Stephen to leave, it would disgrace his title as the Wolf King.
“What?!” Stephen was furious. He had taken a step back but the punk tried to take advantage of him.
“Andrius Moonshade, judging from your tone, are you trying to make me stay with your little army?” Stephen scoffed as he widened his eyes in anger. “Stop dreaming! Don’t think of forcing me to comply! If
go down today, I will drag you with me!”
Anxious, Stephen was prepared for the worst.
“You will go down, but you won’t drag anyone with you.” Suddenly, another cold voice came in front
outside.
Then, a battalion of armed soldiers marched into the front yard.
