Despite the tension in the air, Albert had no interest in confronting Cain directly. When he caught sight of the murderous look on Cain’s face, he merely shot him a cold re while casually raising his hand to touch his forehead.


    Cain, consumed by rage at Albert’s gesture, trembled but remained silent. He dared not confront Albert or take any action against him.


    Deep down, Cain knew that Albert held far more power than he did. Moreover, Donald had made it clear that Cain was still under probation, unworthy even of being considered a servant of the Webb family.


    This realization left Cain feeling extremely uneasy. What kind of world was this where he had to endure a trial period just to be someone else’s subordinate?


    Yet, he resolved to endure the probation. He believed that once he passed it, he would gain the strength necessary to oppose Albert and seek revenge!<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    As the saying goes, ack of patience in small matters can derail great ns.


    For now, he would swallow his humiliation to achieve his greater goals.


    As the owner of The Heaven Springs and one of the esteemed guests at the banquet, Albert took the initiative to invite Donald to take the main seat at the table. Once Donald was seated, Sean promptly sat down at his right side.


    The seat to Donald’s left was empty, and many attendees eyed it, eager to position themselves close to him.


    However, Cain, who had been closely trailing Donald, was the quickest to act. As soon as Donald settled into the main seat, Cain hurriedly took the left seat next to him.


    Meanwhile, the group continued to shower Donald with praise. Though he spoke little, he exuded amanding presence.


    After everyone had offered their greetings, Donald finally addressed the gathering: “I invited all of you to this banquet to get to know you better. As I’m still rtively new to Aurous Hill, I may need your assistance in the future.”


    Cain was the first to rise, grinning as he said, “Of course, Mr. Webb. The Lloyd family is honored to serve the Webb family. We will definitely pledge our loyalty and support.”


    Cain understood that Donald needed someone to break the ice and speak up first, so he bravely took the lead in expressing his allegiance.


    Donald regarded Cain with an approving nod and replied, “Cain, if you perform well for me in the future, I’ll be sure to look out for you and offer you more benefits.”


    Cain was indeed astute, recognizing the importance of seizing the moment.


    “Thank you, Mr. Webb. I will do my utmost to serve you well,” he responded earnestly.


    At that moment, the heads of the Zimmerman and Kline families also hurried to express their loyalty, kneeling and eagerly aligning themselves with Donald, eager to board the Webb family’s “big boat.”


    Meanwhile, Zeke, Graham, and Albert exchanged silent nces, choosing to remain quiet.


    They understood that Donald expected them to dere their support for the Webb family.


    By pledging their allegiance, they would be effectively announcing their desire for refuge with the Webb family.<fna701> Read full story at ?ovelFind</fna701>


    However, the three of them were resolute in their loyalty to Charlie alone. They could not bring themselves to pledge allegiance to Donald.


    In their eyes, Charlie was the true powerhouse, a dragon among men. Compared to him, even the formidable Webb family and Donald were mere mortals.


    Donald noticed the three of them and remarked, “It seems that you’re unwilling to work for the Webb family, then?”
