This reaction was not only exclusive to Mia and Peter's household. Apparently, the new boss of Moon Empire had sent invitations to more than twenty high-profile people and more than fifty representatives of different organizations.
Doctor's, engineers, tycoons, top actors and actresses, prominent families.
Each and every one of them had received a diamond with an invitation attached to it.
What kind of person would say no to this extravagance?
Of course, it also attracted the attention of a certain person whom Jiang Yue wished to meet.
Li Jun.
Though his true name was not the one that was written on the invitation, Li Jun's interest in Fu Jin still increased.
"Are we going?" A young handsome man with amber eyes asked him.
"Of course. I want to see my daughter." Li Jun said as a smile slowly rose to his face. He then stared at the young man in front of him. "Of course, it would be better if you two get to like each other. After all, I have raised you… I already see you as my son."
"Father… your daughter already has Fu Jin." The man answered. "Moreover, they are already together for so long. I doubt she will even look at me."
The man's words instantly made Li Jun smile. "I was just kidding. If my daughter really likes this Fu Jin, then… she can do whatever she wants. All I wish is that you can treat her as your younger sister."
"Of course, Father." The man's eyes turned gentle. "By the way… I have heard that the Vercellos have new shipments of the medications. This time it's for another country in the East. I have already sent Miranda to investigate it."
Li Jun's face instantly turned serious at the mention of another shipment. Too bad he couldn't do anything about it or it would immediately alarm the Vercellos. He was not ready to fight them at that moment yet.
"Alright, I want you to keep a close eye on that shipment. Let me know if something comes up." Li Jun said. "Also, tell me more about that Head of the Doctors Association Peter Pardi."
"Well… I think he is the one controlling the experiments with the children. We haven't found the location of the lab yet. But… our men have already found the docks which they used to transfer the kidnapped children from other countries."
"Good. Continue to observe and report. Also... send a note to Moon Empire, inform them that I will attend that banquet."
The man nodded at Li Jun's words and instantly went to follow his orders.
Meanwhile, in an upscale place that was home to the most prominent families in Emerald Country, an old woman in her seventies was coldly looking at the box in her husband's hands.
"Are you going to attend?" She asked.
"Of course, I will... It will be amusing to see the man who stole your granddaughter's heart." The man smiled at her.
"Don't you dare to touch her, Antonio…." the woman exclaimed. "I have done everything that you wanted me to! Leave her out of this!"
"How can I touch her? The Elders already have their eyes on her." The man named Antonio shrugged. "You have a smart granddaughter. The exact opposite of your stupid daughter."
"Bam!"
A loud sound echoed inside the room, as the old woman threw the teacup that she was holding in her hand just a moment ago.
"You missed, my darling." Antonio scoffed before turning his head towards the woman. "Next time you throw something at me, make sure to hit me on the head. Always remember that, Natalia… you are mine. If you dare to do something that will smear my or the organization's name, I will kill that husband of yours."
"We have been together for so long, Antonio! You know that I will never to love you."
"And yet, you chose me over that man."
"You threatened to kill him and my children!" Natalie raged. "You are nothing but a despicable person! You want nothing but power! You will die alone in this world!"
"Really?" Antonio let out a smirk, his wizened face instantly turned evil. "Remember, Natalia… if I die… you and your man will die together with me. Or did you forget how one call from me can end him?"
Natalie's face instantly contorted at his words.
"What?" Antonio let out a chuckle before getting up. "You are lucky that I like you. If not... I would have already killed you and your family," he said coldly before walking out of the room, leaving Natalie with tears all over her face.
The old woman's sobs then echoed inside the room as she pulled the pendant on her necklace. She then slowly opened it, revealing her most precious treasure-a photo of the man that she loved and her twins.
