Now everything has returned to the starting point, and he finally has the chance to stop all this and save everything for his father. But all of this, his father no longer knows.

"Charles Bennett, if you have the guts, come in with me!"

On the other side, Samuel Clark had already finished negotiating with the guards in Guanghelou and, fuming with anger, waved at Charles Bennett. Guanghelou had now issued a ban on guests—except for people from the Yao residence and Prince Qi’s men, no one else was allowed in.

However, Samuel Clark was different. He was one of Yao Guangyi’s people and had met the guards of the Yao residence before. If Charles Bennett could get in with anyone, it could only be with Samuel Clark.

"What, are you scared?"

Samuel Clark said coldly, afraid that Charles Bennett would back out.

"Hmph, enough nonsense, lead the way."

Charles Bennett replied coldly.

Judging by the time, his father should have already entered Guanghelou. Whether he could succeed or not depended on today. Taking a deep breath, Charles Bennett, with his little sister, quickly stepped into Guanghelou.

Only by truly entering Guanghelou could one realize how lively and grand this restaurant was inside. Each floor had more than two hundred seats, and every seat was filled.

Charles Bennett could see clearly that these people were basically all from Yao Guangyi and Prince Qi. There were also a few who had previously followed Prince Song.

When it came to deceiving his father, these people who betrayed Prince Song had also "contributed greatly." In this matter, Yao Guangyi had truly racked his brains.

But Samuel Clark clearly didn’t know any of this, nor did he notice anything "different" here. He just kept urging, afraid that Charles Bennett would back out at the last minute.

"Go on! Hurry up!"

"Kid, you’re not chickening out, are you!"

...

After suffering such a big loss, Samuel Clark was not about to let it go. He only wished to use Yao Feng’s hand to give Charles Bennett a good lesson.

"Why are you rushing me? You think I’m scared?"

Charles Bennett put on a provoked look, but inside he was sneering coldly. Fortunately, he had this connection with Samuel Clark. If this guy knew what was really going on in Guanghelou right now, even if you gave him ten times the courage, he wouldn’t dare bring anyone here.

With a flick of his robe, Charles Bennett followed Samuel Clark upstairs.

A ruffian and two teenagers didn’t attract any attention.

Chapter 7: Enraging Yao Feng

In a private room on the third floor of Guanghelou, a group of young men with outstanding bearing, all looking wealthy or noble, were gathered together, each trying to flatter the elegantly dressed young man sitting at the head of the table.

"Young Master Yao, please!"

"Young Master Yao, let me toast you!"

...

The young men spoke one after another, full of compliments, all clearly looking to him as their leader. Young Master Yao was refined in speech and manner, a rising star in the capital, and with his deep family background, he stood out even among this group of young nobles.

"Gentlemen, no need to be so polite. Today, I, Yao, am your host—please, everyone, enjoy yourselves!"

The elegantly dressed young man, sleeves flowing, raised his cup in return. His expression was calm and his manners graceful, displaying an extraordinary demeanor and bearing, standing out even among the other young men.

The Yao residence in the capital was renowned and powerful, directly aligned with Prince Qi. Young Master David Foster, as the eldest son of the Yao family and future heir to the Yao clan’s status and influence, was no ordinary figure.

Therefore, even though this was Young Master David Foster’s first invitation, everyone was eager to attend.

With glasses clinking and drinks flowing, the atmosphere was lively and festive.

At the head of the table, David Foster narrowed his eyes slightly, discreetly scanning the room, secretly pleased and nodding to himself.

Today was his "big day." Borrowing his father’s prestige and the golden reputation of the Yao family, David Foster had gathered all the most prominent young men of the capital at Guanghelou.

This was their first gathering, and for David Foster, it was also his chance to win people’s hearts and establish his own prestige. As long as he could win over these noble youths, he would surely have a place among the leaders of the capital’s young elite.

More importantly, his father had already promised him that as long as he could win over these noble youths and build his own team, making them work for him, he would gradually be given more power and allowed to take over the family business.

This was tantamount to confirming his position as the family heir!

Therefore, for David Foster, this gathering was of great importance!

The banquet was harmonious and lively. David Foster could tell that everyone was flattering him, giving him plenty of face as the Yao family’s young master. But that alone was not enough. David Foster decided to draw them in even more:

"Gentlemen, everyone sitting here is a brother of mine, David Foster. If you ever need anything in the future, just let me know..."

"Young master, young master... Samuel Clark has brought two people!"

The wooden door of the private room opened, and a Guanghelou manager rushed in, interrupting David Foster.

"What’s going on? Why are you so flustered?"

David Foster frowned. Although he was a bit displeased, he didn’t show it easily.

"Didn’t I say not to disturb me at this time?—Tell Samuel Clark to come back later."

David Foster said in a deep voice.

"I told him," the manager said hesitantly, "but... he’s already barged in!"

As soon as the words fell, the room fell silent.
