Brady attempted to persuade Hogson to join him, only for Hogson to accept an invitation to Bai Xiaosheng's banquet, much to Brady's shock. Humiliated, Brady tore up Bai's invitation, but later retrieved it from the trash, hoping to repair it and discover Bai's intentions, suspecting it may involve business with Oshan.

Brady frowned, slamming the door of his office shut once again.

At that moment, Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying were on their way back to Eisenlag.

Lin Weiwei called Bai Xiaosheng to report the situation, "Yesterday, we already delivered the invitation to Anlos; he accepted the invitation. This morning, we met with Hogson, and there’s no problem. Just now, we went to see Brady, and he said he might not have time. But we found out that Hogson seems to be visiting in his office."

At that time, Brady swiftly shut the door, but Lei Ying caught a glimpse, and in that instant, he was certain it was Hogson.

After all, having been a battlefield elite, once a target is established, even a fleeting glimpse can be confirmed without a doubt.

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaosheng chuckled on the phone, "Really? Alright, Brady will come, you two come back."

"We’re already on our way." Lin Weiwei replied, "I heard that Chief Ogade and Lady Daliya returned to Oklandt’s palace yesterday, and Chen Feiqiu accompanied them, so we’re the only ones left there. How should we arrange the banquet? Should we go outside the ’Walking Palace’?"

After all, the hosts are absent, so entertaining guests there might not be too appropriate.

Bai Xiaosheng laughed, "No need, before Chief Ogade left, he already set things up here. We are now the hosts, everyone will listen to me, and we will entertain Hogson, Anlos, and the others here."

Hearing this, Lin Weiwei felt reassured, "That’s really great."

"Alright, I’ll hang up now. Be careful on your way back." Bai Xiaosheng reminded.

After receiving Lin Weiwei’s response, Bai Xiaosheng hung up.

At that moment, Bai Xiaosheng was resting in the room, his gaze leisurely, a subtle smile curling on his lips as he murmured to himself, "Soon, we will meet again, the three of you!"

That evening, Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying returned to Bai Xiaosheng’s side.

The night passed without incident.

The next day, Bai Xiaosheng and the others rode in the helicopter which Chief Ogade had given them, flying directly to Chief Bai Xiaosheng’s territory.

This time, they brought a map, intending to slowly explore and refine their plans and ideas.

Seeing both in combination, the feeling was different from just looking at it on paper.

The flight lasted the whole day, part work, part special tour, and by the afternoon, Bai Xiaosheng and the others returned by plane.

In the evening, Bai Xiaosheng still had to discuss cooperation with three business magnates, so he needed to rest well in the afternoon.

Upon returning, Bai Xiaosheng quickly went to take a nap.

Meanwhile, Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying went to the butler in the "Walking Palace" to arrange the evening banquet.

When Bai Xiaosheng woke up, it was already five o’clock in the afternoon. After freshening up, he went to see Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying to check the situation.

Here, including the butler, all the servants had been instructed by Chief Ogade, knowing Bai Xiaosheng’s superior status as not just a guest but the host. Upon his arrival, they all bowed in respect.

The Walking Palace had many servants, their collective gestures of welcome seemed extravagant to Bai Xiaosheng, and even a bit amusing.

It felt like he was a local ruler...

When you think about it, Bai Xiaosheng was already a chieftain, in his own territory he is indeed an exalted presence.

Bai Xiaosheng greeted everyone with a gentle voice and was extremely satisfied with the evening banquet arrangements.

Just like that, time quietly slipped by.

After making a round, Bai Xiaosheng returned to the room with Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying to discuss the day’s "tour" insights. Just as they began talking, the butler knocked on the door.

"Mr. Bai Xiaosheng, your guest is here, Mr. Anlos," the butler reported with a bow upon seeing Bai Xiaosheng, "he also brought gifts, which we will deliver to your room shortly."

"Oh, he’s already here?" Bai Xiaosheng smiled and stood up, turning to Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying, saying, "Come with me to meet the guest."

With that, the butler led the way, and Bai Xiaosheng and the others headed straight to the living room.

Upon arriving, Bai Xiaosheng and the others not only met Anlos but also saw Milo.

"Mr. Bai Xiaosheng, we meet again!"

"Mr. Anlos, welcome, welcome!"

Bai Xiaosheng and Anlos shook hands warmly upon meeting.

Then, Bai Xiaosheng also cheerfully greeted Milo.

Milo, dressed in a suit, appeared both lively and handsome, greeted Bai Xiaosheng and nodded with a smile to Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying.

In such a setting, he restrained his personality, not daring to be cheeky towards Lin Weiwei.

This Milo, surprisingly, doesn’t seem so unpleasant.

Everyone took their seats. Bai Xiaosheng and Anlos exchanged pleasantries and engaged in enthusiastic conversation.

Currently, the Anlos Family’s business is rapidly expanding, making good progress in all aspects. Bai Xiaosheng subtly reminded them of some minor details, which Anlos understood and appreciated.

Just as the conversation was going well, the butler returned to report that Hogson had arrived.

Actually, he was right behind. Bai Xiaosheng and Anlos stood up to welcome Hogson.

"Mr. Bai Xiaosheng, long time no see." After shaking hands with Bai Xiaosheng, Hogson presented a generous gift and smiled, "A small token, not enough to show respect."

"Mr. Hogson, you’re too kind." Bai Xiaosheng replied with a polite smile, while gesturing for Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying to accept the gift.

Bai Xiaosheng, Anlos, and Hogson sat down again as others instinctively stepped back, watching the trio enjoy a cheerful conversation from afar.

After putting the gift away, Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying watched from a distance, ready in case they were needed.

The conversation went on for half an hour.

Lin Weiwei glanced at the time and whispered to Lei Ying, "It’s already past the time on the invitation, why hasn’t Brady shown up? Could it be he’s really not coming?"

Brady is, after all, part of the Zhenbei Group. If he doesn’t show up, it wouldn’t look good for Bai Xiaosheng.

"Not necessarily." Lei Ying shook his head, having a different opinion, "I think Brady will come. Even if he does, he’ll probably be late. He cares a lot about appearances. I suspect he’s making a point through this."

Making a point through this?

Could someone of his stature really act so "childishly"?

Lin Weiwei listened, pouted her lips, and said, "Brady always puts on a gentlemanly front, but being late isn’t exactly polite."

Lei Ying shrugged in response.

It was all just his own speculation. Maybe Brady really wouldn’t come; no one could say for sure.

As it was almost time for the dinner, the conversation among those on Bai Xiaosheng’s side paused, and they all stood up.

When it came to Brady, all three tacitly avoided mentioning him.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying also stood up, preparing to walk over and inquire if it was time to start the dinner.

At that moment, the butler hurried over to Bai Xiaosheng, bowed, and said, "Mr. Bai Xiaosheng, Mr. Brady has arrived."

Brady had finally appeared.

Hogson and Anlos exchanged a meaningful gaze.

Especially Hogson.

Brady had previously torn up the invitation in front of him and thrown it in the trash. Did he retrieve it, piece it together, and bring it back? How troublesome for him.

Of course, Hogson wouldn’t mention this to anyone, as it was important to preserve some dignity for Brady. Otherwise, it would truly become "enmity."

Bai Xiaosheng maintained his composure with a smile, "Is that so? Now that all the guests are here, we can enjoy the fine wine and delicacies."

As he spoke, Brady, led by a servant, appeared in everyone’s view, his demeanor slightly lofty with a half-smile.

"Mr. Brady, welcome." Bai Xiaosheng smiled.

Brady smiled, nodded to Hogson and Anlos, and then said to Bai Xiaosheng, "Mr. Bai, you’ve chosen a great place for dining with guests. Isn’t this Chief Ogade’s Walking Palace? I heard Chief Ogade and his wife aren’t here, and even Mr. Awak Wak Lakla seems absent."

Brady implied that Bai Xiaosheng might be taking over a place that isn’t his own for entertaining guests.

"Mr. Brady, you’re well-informed." Bai Xiaosheng replied softly, ignoring the underlying mockery, as he glanced at Hogson and Anlos, "Since Mr. Brady is here, let’s go to the dining room, enjoy the wine, and chat."

Hogson and Anlos nodded with smiles, while Brady retained a somewhat lazy posture.

Bai Xiaosheng personally led the way to the dining room.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying followed behind.

At a distance, Lin Weiwei couldn’t help but remark to Lei Ying, "Brady actually came empty-handed, huh."

Lei Ying quickly gave her a glance.

This girl was outspoken; letting people hear her comments could be inappropriate.

"What’s there to fear!" Lin Weiwei said, looking over there and muttering, "Later, he better not regret it!"
