<strong>Chapter 1625: Chapter 1355: Who Was It? Step Forward Yourself</strong>


    A group of people flooded in from outside the castle hall, each well-dressed and of remarkable bearing. The aura of the dozen or so people at the forefront was no less impressive than that of Antonio, the owner of the winery.


    Even the old butler of the Ferro Winery followed alongside, carefully amodating them with a smile.


    Leading the way were two middle-aged men.


    One was a well-built white man with a rugged facial contour and a somewhat stern expression. His gaze always gave a sense of pressure when he looked at people.


    Bai Xiaosheng noticed his high nose bridge and broad brow, involuntarily ncing at Allen beside him.


    In terms of facial features, Allen had many simrities with him.


    When Allen saw the man, he immediately grew solemn and unconsciously took two steps forward, mumbling under his breath, “Father!”


    As expected, it was Allen’s father!


    Bai Xiaosheng had already suspected this. Red Lotus, on a mentalmand, had searched for the man’s information.


    Allen White’s father, the current power-holder of the White Family—Dyson White.


    Walking alongside Dyson White was a middle-aged man with Asian features.


    Although nearing middle age, his hair was still thick and ck, seemingly dyed.


    His looks were quite handsome, making it easy to imagine how dashing he must have been in his youth, surely able to captivate numerous young women.


    From the moment of his appearance, Mo Xin, beside Bai Xiaosheng, looked slightly upset, with a hint of coldness in her eyes.


    “The n Leader has arrived!”


    Over there, the Feng siblings, Feng Moyu and Feng Moyan, became instantly excited.


    The n Leader of the Feng Family?


    Bai Xiaosheng deliberately examined the ck-haired middle-aged man.


    Ever since learning that Mo Xin was from the Feng Family, Bai Xiaosheng had Red Lotus conduct a search. He found out that the Feng Family was one of the three giants in the European wine industry, and the current family head was Feng Xiangnan.


    Guests at the wine event had earlier mentioned that numerous distinguished guests were expected, albeit they would arriveter.


    Viewing it now, whether it was Feng Xiangnan, Dyson, or others qualified to join them, they truly could be considered VIPs!


    It’s just that their ingter” was indeed muchter.


    Moreover, they came together!


    This point intrigued Bai Xiaosheng.


    Generally speaking, regardless of the prominence of individuals or the honor of their status, they attend a wine event independently, gathering there instead.


    A group arrival?


    What this implies, Bai Xiaosheng could somewhat guess.


    “Mr. Antonio, apologize, apologize! We arrived a bitte, please forgive us! The family leaders were actually sitting for a while at my ce, chatting a bit, which dyed us slightly,” Feng Xiangnan first apologized with a smile to the host Antonio.


    Feng Xiangnan’s “apology” to Antonio was heard by all, revealing that it was he who had made the earlier loud deration.


    Antonio quickly smiled, “It’s no problem, my friend. Whenever you arrive, you are always wee!”


    Those who came with Feng Xiangnan and Dysonprised nearly seventy percent of Europe’s wine industry chiefs. The n leaders of the three great families had two representatives!


    Antonio was merely a winery owner, and the Ferro Winery did not even rank among the top five European wineries. Greeting such a multitude of distinguished guests was entirely due to Master Owen and Mo Xin’s aplishments.


    At this point, how dare he express any dissatisfaction with their tardiness, even though he was the host?


    Of course, Antonio did not exhibit excessive astonishment or ttery. Overall, he behaved appropriately and gracefully.


    Antonio knew that seamless pandering and lowering oneself would only invite disrespect from such figures.


    Besides, while Antonio’s standing was not high, he also had friends among the big figures, like Soruns.


    Although Soruns only visited a few times, appreciating the winery’s fine wines, Soruns did not frequent every winery; some major wineries could not even invite him. This thus became a point of pride for Antonio.


    Unfortunately, Mr. Soruns could not attend today. Antonio felt some regret.


    Otherwise, even people like Feng Xiangnan and Dyson White would have to show deference to that person!


    After all, Soruns had prestigious status and significant backing, unmatched by the three great families.


    Even the Hawk Family only stood equal with the other two families due to his protection.


    Back to the present.


    In reality, Feng Xiangnan’s words of apology to Antonio subtly implied something.


    These wine industry moguls stopped at his ce for a “visit” before attending the wine event?


    Antonio understood the meaning behind these words very well.


    Over there, Bai Xiaosheng alsoprehended.


    Combining this with today’s true “theme” of the Ferro Winery event—Master Owen and Mo Xin jointly releasing a new wine—the gathering at the Feng Family must have been about discussing the business division regarding the new wine!


    To put it bluntly, these folks went to stake out a share beforeing over.


    Milos, beside Bai Xiaosheng, seemed to have realized this as well, with her expression changing slightly.


    Was her Hawk Family excluded while they were busy dealing with cmities?


    Milos’s eyes hinted at bitterness.


    But even so, what could she do?


    Milos bit her lip lightly, her gaze involuntarily turning resentful as she nced at Bai Xiaosheng.


    The reason the Hawk Family missed out was due to the penalty Bai Xiaosheng imposed, a penalty so severe it led to direct and indirect losses for the Hawk Family that were incalcble…


    Of course, after a littleint in her heart, Milos dared not show any dissatisfaction towards Bai Xiaosheng.


    In fact, she believed that the only chance to reverse the Hawk Family’s decliney with Bai Xiaosheng!


    Thus, Milos withdrew her gaze, her eyes bing more docile.


    Thus, after this incident, Bai Xiaosheng might be the greatest fear in the Hawk Family’s heart. Neither Old Hawk nor Andrew dared to show any displeasure towards him!


    After exchanging pleasantries with Antonio, Dyson White, and the others began greeting Antonio one after another.


    Antonio responded courteous greetings to each of them.


    “Master Owen, I hope you’ve been well! Knowing your new wine is ready, we dropped everything and rushed over!” Feng Xiangnan turned to Master Owen,ughing heartily and stepping forward with enthusiasm.


    Those uninformed might have thought Feng Xiangnan and Master Owen were old friends.


    In fact, ever since Feng Xiangnan and his party arrived, Master Owen had quickly calmed from his earlier rage, taking the time they greeted Antonio topose himself.


    At this moment, Feng Xiangnan’s great warmth and respect left Master Owen unable to maintain aloofness, shifting to a smiling demeanor.


    “Feng, my friend, it’s good to see you again.”


    Feng Xiangnan was Mo Xin’s father, and Mo Xin was a partner of his, yet had just allied with outsiders to deliver a blow to him.


    Master Owen was not a man of magnanimity, but in the face of Feng Xiangnan and the affluent Feng Family, he exhibited great forbearance.


    After all, in the face of capital power, even the president of the Alcohol Industry Association must bow his noble head.


    Let alone a Great Master like him.


    “Master Owen, we are eager to taste the new wine you’ve crafted, all filled with anticipation!”


    Dyson White also approached, smilingly speaking to Master Owen.


    “Haha, wee, wee, you will not be disappointed,” Master Owen responded with equalughter.


    The figures trailing behind Feng Xiangnan and Dyson, whether from the wine industry families or associated businesses, all showed great courtesy to Master Owen, clustering to greet him.


    Their attitude towards Master Owen was even warmer than their greeting to Antonio, the host.


    Master Owen disyed enough humility and affability to demonstrate the bearing of a Great Master, markedly different from his earlier rage-filled demeanor.


    Guests around observed and whispered among themselves about Feng Xiangnan’s group.


    “The Feng Family, White Family, and other families, capital, these people probably control about seventy percent of the wine market!”


    “Are they here for the new wine?”


    “This is impressive, just imagine how robust the new wine sales will be once released!”


    “Hopefully, it won’t end up like ‘Encounter’, exclusive to only a select circle.”


    “Definitely not, did you see how many big-shot wine figures came? It has to be widely avable.”


    The guests chatted with shining eyes.


    There, after greeting Master Owen, standing by, Feng Xiangnan unexpectedly withdrew his smile.


    He raised his voice, “Earlier, we overheard someone challenging Master Owen!”


    This immediately startled the whispering guests, who couldn’t help but look up in surprise at Feng Xiangnan.


    Was he standing up for Master Owen?


    Even Dyson and others, conversing with Master Owen, paused to look at him.


    At this moment, Feng Xiangnan’s eyes carried a slight chill as he scanned his surroundings, his voice cold—


    “Who dared to displease Master Owen?”


    “Stand out on your own!”
