Each With an Agenda

These two families were from Arizona and Nevada, but they had never had much of a relationship with the families of California. It was unclear why they suddenly came here.

Although they didn't know why the helmsman Anthony and Joel were here, Bruce wouldn't ignorantly turn them away since they had already come all the way here.

"Invite them in!" Bruce instructed.

Before long, Joel and Anthony brought their families' elite bodyguards into the reception hall.

Bruce stood up and said courteously, "Mr. Gillen, Mr. Cross, it's an honor to have you here!"

Although Bruce had long handed over the position of the Hales' helmsman to his grandson Connor, Connor was still too young, and the helmsmen who visited were both in their sixties. So Bruce showed them respect by greeting them personally.

Joel was a thin and petite elderly man with a sparse beard and slanted eyes. He was obviously someone to be trifled with.
