In contrast to Abbas, Lord Banks found himself enveloped in shame during this moment.


    Throughout his life, he had never knelt or licked anyone’s boots, and he had garnered even more admiration as he aged.


    Yet, who could have predicted that this man, who had lived with such arrogance, would find himself bowing before a young man in his twenties in hister years?


    This realization stung his pride, but he feltpelled to keep up this facade of ttery because he was in dire need of Abbas’s assistance to navigate the multitude of problems confronting him.


    Thus, after several rounds of drinks, he proactively raised his wine ss once more, smiling as he proimed, “Come on, Break the Army! I toast to you again, wishing you a triumphant victory at Yeling Mountain during the Ching Ming Festival, avenging your parentspletely!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Abbas toyed with the wine ss in his hand and replied earnestly, “Grandpa Banks, it’s not Yeling Mountain; it’s Wanling Mountain! After the Qingming Festival, Wanling Mountain will be the resting ce for my parents and me. I will mobilize a million elite forces from the Dragon Pce to seal off the entire mountain, ensuring that no disturbances will disrupt their peace!”


    Immediately, Lord Banks eximed, “Yes, Wanling Mountain! When your parents’ tombs are relocated there, I will definitely go to pay my respects!”


    Abbas nodded with satisfaction, saying, “It would be wonderful if you could make it.”


    As he spoke, he reflected, “In fact, my father mentioned to my mother on several asions that whenever he saw you, he felt a significant amount of pressure.”


    “Really?” Lord Banks asked, surprised. “Why would Liancheng feel stressed in my presence?”


    Abbas nced at Lord Banks and replied, somewhat displeased, “Because he believed you looked down on him! To you, he was merely a friend of your uncle, someone who could never measure up to him. Every time he encountered you, it reminded him of how poor students feel when they’re around top achievers.”


    Chuckling awkwardly, Lord Banks quickly defended himself, “I think Liancheng may have misunderstood my demeanor. I’ve always been serious and reserved with everyone, and while I might have seemed unfriendly, I never intended to belittle Liancheng!”


    Abbas regarded him with mild surprise and said seriously, “But today, I don’t see you as unsmiling or serious with anyone. Is it because I now possess the strength that my fathercked?”


    “Um… cough, cough… well…” Lord Banks hesitated for a long time, struggling to articte a response.


    Abbas’sments only deepened his embarrassment.


    He realized that Abbas was subtly mocking him.


    Indeed, after discovering that Abbas was the lord of the Ten Thousand Dragons Pce—an immensely powerful entity—his own behavior had shifted to one of overt ttery.


    Truthfully, even he found his own demeanor somewhat distasteful.


    But what choice did he have?


    Given the circumstances, Lord Banks could only do everything in his power to align himself more closely with Abbas.


    With Abbas poised to take action against the Wade Family, it was clear that their downfall was imminent. Once the Wade Family fell, his only remaining threat would be Zara’s formidable benefactor.<fne439> Original content can be found at Find[?]ovel</fne439>


    In this situation, only Abbas could provide assistance.


    If Abbas managed to deal with that individual, Lord Banks would have countless ways to reim the ocean shipping group from Zara!


    At that point, the Banks family would have an excellent opportunity to rise once more!


    Noticing Lord Banks’s flushed face, Abbas smiled yfully and waved his hand, saying, “Let’s forget about these matters from 20 to 30 years ago. In any case, if you can pay your respects to my father, I believe he will find peace in the afterlife.”
