Magic Doctor CEO Lady's Humble Husband (Fade Chen)
Chapter 2356

At the crack of dawn, Greenfield Mountain burst to life.

Both the simple and exquisite buildings were decorated jubilantly. The long mountain road was covered with a layer of red carpet, stretching from the mountainside to the foot of the mountain, like a red waterfall flowing down the mountain.

The foot of the mountain was packed with guests.

One by one, they arrived in luxury cars bearing gifts in their hands. They all stood waiting at the entrance of the mountain road with smiles on their faces.

When the time came, the Guo family's disciples guarding the entrance of the mountain path ushered the guests in, checking their invitations one by one.

Anyone familiar with Greenfield City was amazed. All the fawning, bowing guests were bigshots of the city.

Occasionally, the Guo family's disciples would walk down the mountain path and welcome certain guests with smiles on their faces.

These were honored guests personally invited by the Guo family. They warranted special treatment.

Just like that, the place was bustling with activity. It would take a few hours just to usher the guests up the mountain.

At the top of the mountain, in the main hall of the Guo family home, Zeward and Zesiah were entertaining the guests.

However, the man of the hour, Maurice, Master Guo, stayed in the backyard away from the action. Only his old friend, Hosea, sat next to him. Hosea spoke up first, "Maurice, how's the investigation going?"

A look flashed across Maurice's face. "I sent them out yesterday. We'll get a report before the morning is over; noon at latest."

"Monash... Did Fade really kill him?" Hosea asked.

Maurice's expression darkened, and he gnashed his teeth with hatred. "It must be him. This has been confirmed. It can't be anyone else."

Just then, there was a knock on the door. "Dad, it's about time. The guests are all here."

Maurice recognized his eldest son, Zeward. He got up and went out.

Zeward stood respectfully at the door. When he saw his father and Hosea come out, he bowed respectfully again and said, "Greetings, Dad. Greetings, Master Liu." "Hello, Zeward." Hosea looked at his son and comforted him, "We'll definitely take care of Monash's matter."

Maurice took on a serious tone. "Whoever dares to hurt my grandson, I will make him pay."

"Dad..." Zeward said with tears in his eyes.

Maurice glanced at his eldest son. "There, there. Don't cry. Let's go out to entertain our

guests."

When Maurice made his appearance, the crowd burst to life. Everyone toasted and laughed. It was a very lively scene.

At 11 o'clock in the morning, the birthday banquet was set up and the guests took their seats. The party had entered its most important phase - the gifts!

Maurice sat on an antique wooden armchair. One by one, the guests reported their names, presented their gifts, and wished him a happy birthday.

It was not just a competition of wealth and relationships but also an opportunity to figuratively kiss the ring.

After all, given the Guo family's strength, everyone wanted to be in their good books.

First in line was a slightly pudgy, middle-aged man.

"My name is Mathias Hu, president of the Greenfield City Chamber of Commerce. I present this Jade Buddha statue to you, Master Guo. May it bring you luck."

The gift was extravagant. The Jade Buddha stood nearly 100 meters high, was crystal clear, and was made from the most expensive jade. Its market price was at least fifty million yuan. However, this was nothing to Maurice.

The old man nodded faintly and said, "Thank you, Mr. Hu.'

Mathias slinked away, visibly disappointed.

The extravagant gifts continued to flow.

"A handmade crown from the royal house of Europe!"

"Ten Rolls-Royce cars!"

"Ming Dynasty calligraphy and painting."

Various gifts poured in one after another, all of which were valuable. Gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, and paintings. However, Maurice received them all with the same

impassive expression and curt nod.

His reaction left the guest disappointed but also impressed. After all, who else could turn up his nose at such luxury.

Everyone was discussing the gifts in hushed voices.

Just then, they were suddenly interrupted by a loud voice.

"Lorcan of Molin Mountain presents three stalks of the Quilan Mountain's Ink Lotus. May it be Mr. Guo's gateway into the HalfLord Level." The crowd burst into a fury of impressed mutterings. This wasn't any old piece of jewelry or gold.

"Lorcan from Molin Mountain; I know him. He's a very famous warrior. I heard that he's already entered the Heaven Level."

"Lorcan entered the Heaven Level ten years ago. Now, he's almost at the middle stage of the Heaven Level. He's a strong practitioner."

"Three Ink Lotuses. This is a big deal!"

"Indeed, the Ink Lotus can give a major boost to a practitioner's cultivation. I didn't think Lorcan would be so willing to give it to Master Guo. He could have used it himself."

"This is a grand display. Although

Lorcan is quite good, he's still a loner

after all. Compared to the Guo

family, he's still a lot weaker. To be

able to obtain the approval of the

Guo family by sending these three Ink Lotuses is not a loss to him."

Through the ruckus, Maurice, who had been expressionless this whole time, couldn't help but smile.

"Mr. Mo, you are very kind. I, an old man, thank you for your kind intentions. In the future, if you have any requests, bring them to the Guo family."

"Mr. Guo, as long as you like it," Lorcan said with a smile, cupping one hand in the other before his chest.

Maurice's gratitude was worth more than three Ink Lotuses.

The crowd continued to chatter.

The gifts continued to flow.

The remaining guests were almost all martial arts practitioners. They

were mainly honored guests invited

by the Go family. They were all familiar with Maurice's needs, so the gifts they presented were mostly items for his cultivation. This brought a smile to Maurice's face.

In the end, even Quentin Meng, a warrior at the early stage of the Heaven Level, freely submitted his own family to the Guo family.

This caused a fury of murmurs through the crowd. What a risky and bold move!
