Getting Flustered

"What do the Parkers mean by this? They invited us here, and now that we've all arrived, none of the Parkers are here!" Norman Holmes, the helmsman of the Holmes, slapped the table hard furiously.

"That's right! Not only have the Parkers not appeared, but they've only sent a butler to receive us. Isn't this a little too neglectful?"

"The Parkers are going overboard! They're deliberately making us wait here. I bet they don't intend to cooperate with us, but rather, they want to offend us!"

"Where are the Parkers? Hurry up and get your helmsman to come out to receive us! Otherwise, don't blame us for tearing this place down! Do you hear me?"

The helmsmen of the seven families expressed their displeasure with the poor treatment.

But no matter what they said, there were only a few servants of the Parkers standing in the corner, and the three people with the highest status in the Parker family never showed up.
