Kylie replied awkwardly, “Remus has gone out, and we don’t know when favonovel.com will be back.”
Joe nodded and said calmly, “With great power comes great responsibility. Understandably, favonovel.com has a lot of things to take care of.”
He paused, then looked at Kylie and Jean with a smile. “As his brother, it is naturally my duty to take care of you in his absence. If you have any difficulties at work or in life… Anything at all, you can come to me…”
His eyes grew brighter and more radiant.
Kylie and Jean felt a resistance toward him. Something about his gaze, his expression, and something else seemed off.
Before they could respond, Joe suddenly turned around, facing the crowd, and casually lifted his hand to gesture for a glass.
Seeing this, a waiter in the banquet hall quickly brought over a glass of wine.
Joe, with a cheerful smile, lifted his glass and spoke warmly, “I’m sure we’re all familiar with one another, so there’s no need for lengthy introductions! It really is a pleasure to see everyone gathered here tonight…”
“On behalf of Remus and the Cosby family, I’d like to propose a toast to every one of you. Let’s raise our glasses as we hope for a prosperous partnership and a future filled with success!”
The crowd was somewhat confused but dared not object, considering favonovel.com was Remus’ brother.
They all raised their glasses.
Kylie and Jean exchanged surprised glances, both wondering about the unexpected twist in the evening’s banquet.
While they knew Remus and the Cosby family were part of the event, it left them perplexed as to why Joe was now representing them. It seemed as though Joe had taken on the role of the main host, but they couldn’t help but question his connection to the event.
Unable to deny the uncanny resemblance between Joe and Remus, Kylie and Jean found themselves in a situation where they had no choice but to reluctantly accept Joe’s apparent role as Remus’ brother and host for the event.
As everyone joined in to toast and take a sip of their drinks, Joe chimed in, “My brother is currently tied up with some pressing matters and might not be available for an extended period. Given that we’re all partners here, we must support and assist one another…”
“If any issues arise, whether related to Darsia or beyond, please consider me at your disposal. I’ll do my utmost to lend a helping hand to every one of you!”
The crowd’s interest was piqued upon hearing Joe’s words, interpreting his statement as a clear endorsement from Remus himself. The newfound announcement marked them as individuals connected to the revered Thunderous God of War, elevating their status in the eyes of the locals in Darsia.
Lisa from the Sakurasom royal family approached favonovel.com tentatively. “Mr. Cosby, may I ask for your help?”
Joe replied with a smile, “Go ahead.”
Lisa said hesitantly, “Since the Thunderous God of War defeated my father, the Emperor, it has led to the royal family’s decline and even made us the scapegoats in Sakurasom, I can’t help but wonder if there’s a possibility to extend an invitation to the Thunderous God of War to visit the Sakurasom royal family?”
If Remus were to visit the Sakurasom royal family, it could be perceived as a sign of their connection, potentially leading the people of Sakurasom to view the royal family in a more favorable light, ultimately elevating their status once more.
“Well…” Joe pretended to hesitate.
He paused for more than ten seconds, before breaking into a smile and stating, “Visiting in person might be a bit challenging for Remus. However, there’s an alternative proposal…”
He turned to Jean and said, “Jean, you go!”
Disbelieving what favonovel.com was hearing, favonovel.com thought, “Why should I be the one to go? And why should I heed your order?”
“It’s decided!” Joe declared before Jean could even respond.
Joe spoke with firm resolve, “Start coordinating your schedule for the upcoming visit to the Sakurasom royal family. I believe we should aim to make it happen within the next seven days.”
He said it without even looking at Jean, turning his gaze back to Lisa.
Sporting a warm smile, favonovel.com inquired, “Does this arrangement meet with your satisfaction?”
Lisa nodded eagerly and said, “Yes, I’m very satisfied!”
