Not long after, they found Zanya and her group of friends in the crowd, whereby she briefly introduced
her friends to Matthew and Crystal. The man next to her was Don Thompson, her husband. As for the
other two men, they were Herman Wayne and Morin Page. When Zanya introduced them, she
emphasized on Herman and said that he was a relative of the Wayne family, which was one of the Ten
Greatest Families in Eastshire.
She even mentioned that he had a really high social status in Eastshire, having three companies and
billions of wealth to his name. Meanwhile, Herman acted politely, as if he was a gentleman. After Zanya
finished the introductions, Herman immediately reached out his hand to Crystal. “Miss Harrison, it’s a
pleasure to meet you.”
Crystal completely ignored him. Instead, she craned her neck to look at the venue. “I think it’s about to
start. Let’s not waste anymore time and go in quickly.”
Herman instantly looked embarrassed and he quickly withdrew his hand. Although Zanya’s introduction
made him seem really powerful, after they entered the venue, they realized that their seating was
relatively far away from the stage.
They couldn’t get tickets for the front row because only the real big shots could get those. Matthew and
the others sat in the third row from the back, and those who sat around them were mostly tourists. Not
long after they took their seats, Matthew saw someone familiar. It was Leonard from Mightwater and as
he was one of the real big shots, he sat in the front row.
This didn’t come as a surprise. After all, only the family head of each Ten Greatest Families of Eastshire
could be equals with Leonard, which was why it was not unusual for him to be sitting in the front row in
Woodside’s market. In addition, there were only three people who could sit with him. In order to boast his
intelligence, Herman started to comment on people one by one.
“Do you see those men? The person on the left is a powerful man from Jersey and rumor has it that his
powers are enough to compete with Billy Newman from Eastshire. The person sitting next to Norris is the
young master from the Burns Family, one of the ten greatest families of Stonedale. The person in the
center is Leonard the acupuncturist from Mightwater; that man is a true big shot and everyone from the
six southern states have to treat him with respect. The person on the far right is Roman Chambers from
Eastshire and he is actually related to my family. His family started to gain power after his daughter
married into the Wayne family!”
As Herman talked about this, his face was filled with pride, as if he had single-handedly made Roman’s
power increase. After hearing this, Zanya instantly asked in awe, “Really? Young Master Herman, does
that mean that you’re really close with Roman? I heard that he’s a really powerful figure. In the past
when Billy Newman entered the city of Eastshire, he left obediently after Roman asked him to leave. Are
these rumors true?”
“Billy Newman is nothing compared to him!” Herman sneered. “Billy is just a relatively powerful man that
only has territories in Eastcliff. If he left Eastcliff, there are more than ten big shots from Eastshire that
could stomp on him like trash. You people from Eastcliff praise and admire Billy because you haven’t
seen the rest of the world. Once you leave Eastcliff, you’ll realize that the outside world is not as simple
as you think!”
As Herman said this, he glanced discreetly at Crystal. He thought that men were most attractive when
they talked about knowledge of the world. He even spoke passionately, hoping to attract Crystal’s
attention. Unfortunately, she kept her head lowered and played with her phone, as if she didn’t hear him
talking. This in turn made Herman really upset.
Seeing this, Zanya immediately spoke up, “Hey Matthew, come on over; I have something to ask you. I
haven’t been to Eastcliff in a long time and there’s a lot of things that I don’t know. Young Master
Herman, can you please switch seats with Matthew?”
At that moment, Matthew was sitting next to Crystal. The reason Zanya asked Herman to switch seats
with Matthew was so that Herman could sit next to Crystal. Herman naturally was very willing to fulfill her
request and he instantly nodded. “Sure. There’s nothing wrong with letting you catch up with your old
friend.”
