Chapter 242 Phillip, Master Phillip!
Hugo felt a little uneasy, since he had invited Thomas to sit at the main table, but he did not respond at all, as he was obviously not here to celebrate his birthday sincerely.
What was more, Hugo noticing that Thomas was looking around as if he were looking for someone, so he made many guesses. Was he looking for his enemies here? Or his friend? Or... When Hugo did not how to deal with it, Thomas has seen Maximilian sitting in the corner.
Seeing Maximilian, Thomas cracked a humble smile, then he pushed aside Hugo and walked towards Maximilian.
"Master Thomas, are you..." Hugo had just said a few words when he saw that Thomas had gone far away, so he had to trot to keep with Thomas with his offspring.
Wright Family could not afford to offend such a powerful man, so they had to treat him with care.
But when they saw Thomas walking towards Maximilian, they opened their eyes wide and round, not knowing what Thomas was going to do.
Thomas went to Maximilian and stand beside him. Then Thomas bowed slightly and said respectfully, "Mr. Lee, I have found you. Would you mind me sitting next to you?" Maximilian raised his eyes, glanced at him and said casually, "I don't mind."
Thomas carefully sat on the chair next to Maximilian, with only a part of his hip on the chair.
Everyone present was eagle-eyed, as they were quite amazed when they saw Thomas's cautious and respectful manner to Maximilian and Thomas' sitting posture at the moment. "What's going on? Why should Master Thomas sit like this? It's the manner adopted when the inferior meets the superior and the younger generation meets the elder."
"I think I'm going blind. Who can make Master Thomas behave like this? Who is the man on earth?"
"It seems to be quite unusual. The Wright Family looked down on that man and treated him like that just now. But Master Thomas seemed to be supporting him."
The crowd had their own surmises, considering what Thomas was going to do and the relationship between Maximilian and Thomas.
Carson was dumbfounded, while Alfie and Tommy got their eyes red.
It was a great time to be in the limelight. If Thomas could do this to them, they would be the most striking ones in the banquet. But why Thomas would treat Maximilian, the loser like this? There were a lot of doubts in Hugo's eyes. After a moment of hesitation, he went to Thomas and said, "Master Thomas, what are you doing? Do you know this man? You are our distinguished guest and please come to the main table."
Although he did not know their relations, Hugo held that he should invite Thomas to sit in the main table. If he just let him sit in the corner, it was quite rude to him as the distinguished guest. Thomas shook his head slightly and said with a smile, "The place where Mr. Lee sits is the main table in my heart. Hugo, you don't need to say it."
Alfie was so jealous of Maximilian that his eyes turned red, then he roared at Maximilian, "You the wretch just eat. Don't you realize that you should make room for grandfather so that grandpa and Master Thomas can have a talk?"
There was a chill on Thomas face, then he stared at Alfie with cold eyes, "How dare you to speak to Mr. Lee like this? I shall use your blood to add some joy to Hugo's birthday banquet if you keep on doing so!' Alfie was frightened and his face was ashen. Shivering, he did not dare to say anything and hid himself into the crowd.
The Wright Family and the guests all looked at Maximilian with puzzled eyes, having no idea of the relationship between Thomas and Maximilian and why Thomas supported Maximilian so strongly.
It was known that Maximilian was a wretch who depended on his wife, so it was unreasonable that a loser should make Thomas support him. What interpersonal network and background could he have? When everyone was confused and silent, the Butler rushed in.
"Master, it's Master Phillip! Master Phillip sends four hundred-year-old elixir to congratulate your birthday."
Hiss! The crowd gasped! They all looked shocked!
Hugo turned around with a puzzled look. He was so shocked by Thomas's uninvited visit, and now Master Phillip also came uninvited. What on earth was going on?
Carson said, "We haven't invited him. Have anyone else invited him?"
Gibson and others all shook their heads. Hugo frowned but said, "Since he has come, we should express our welcome. Come with me to greet him."
By the time Hugo got to the door of the atrium, Philip had already walked in.
Phillip saluted Hugo with his hands folded, "I'd like to congratulate Mr. Hugo Wright a healthy and happy life."
"Thank you for your visit, Master Philip, please sit at the main table." Hugo said with smile on his face.
But Philip paid no attention to Hugo's words at all, but looked around as if he was looking for someone or something.
Noticing Phillip's behavior, Hugo had a similar feeling. It seemed that Thomas did the same thing just now.
The guests looked at Phillip with envy and inquiry in their eyes.
"It is really Master Phillip. As one of the four masters in H City, Master Phillip was not inferior in status as Master Thomas."
"In terms of interpersonal network, Master Phillip is even more powerful than Master Thomas. It's said Master Phillip has the most powerful interpersonal network."
"It is a great honor for the Wright Family this time. Hugo can be proud of this banquet for the rest of his life."
When the crowd were discussing, Phillip had seen Maximilian. Then he pushed aside the Wright Family members and walked towards Maximilian.
Looking at the same behavior of Phillip as Thomas, the Wright Family members were so confused and they couldn't figure out the reason.
"Why does Phillip look for Maximilian too? Are both Master Phillip and Master Thomas hysteric? Is there anything respectable of the loser?"
"The loser is even not qualified to polish shoes for Master Phillip and Master Thomas. But... how does this weird thing happen?"
"We'd better have a close look. It's not only the courtesy, but knowing the rope. We can't just stay here and wait."
The Wright Family discussed in a low voice and walked to Phillips together with Hugo.
Phillip bowed and greeted Maximilian. After asked for Maximilian's permission, he leaned to sit down like Thomas. His respectfully behavior showed as if he were a subordinate of Maximilian. Hugo's face became sullen, and then he tremblingly walked to Phillip.
"Master Phillip, please sit at the main table."
"No thanks! The most striking place is where Mr. Lee is. I'll pick up food for Mr. Lee. You can just go." Phillip whispered with great dissatisfaction!
