“Lord Xenos! It’s Lord Xenos!” “Damn, even Lord Xenos has shown up! The world is turning upside down!” “Who was able to bring forth Lord Xenos?”
The crowd broke out into a frenzy at the sight of the distinguished man. Lord Xenos was no ordinary man; he was the viceroy! The influential figure who held control over the entire military and government of Southern province! He was an official of the first rank and a true authority figure! A single action of his could shake up Millsburg in its entirety. Sir Leinonen and General Lionheart were mere shadows compared to him.
“Why is Lord Xenos here? Did Tyler invite him?”
“It’s over. It’s all over… There’s no one to save us now!” “He’s the most powerful official in all of Southern province. Who else can compare to him?”
The Harmons were shaken, their faces filled with fear and despair. Given their status, it was evident that they weren’t the ones to invite the viceroy. So there was only one possibility–he was on Tyler’s side.
At that moment, not only were the Harmons shaken, but Tyler was also surprised and puzzled. He wasn’t exactly acquainted with the viceroy.
“It’s him?” When Dustin saw him arrive, he finally revealed a flicker of emotion. It wasn’t the person’s title that stirred him, but it was because he recognized him. It was none other than Ruby’s father–George Xenos. When he first met him at the hospital a few days ago, he wasn’t aware of his identity. He didn’t expect him to be the viceroy who controlled the entire Southern province.
“Oh, Lord Xenos, what brings you here?” After a momentary daze, Roger approached and greeted
him with a smile. Lord Xenos was, after all, his direct superior.
“Roger, I heard you were planning to drive away my men. Is that true?” George asked nonchalantly.
“It’s a misunderstanding … It’s all just a misunderstanding!” Roger smiled apologetically. “I would
welcome them with open arms. I would never dare to drive them away.”
“Is that so?” George surveyed his surroundings. “Then why have you brought so many of your men
here?”
“Uh…” Roger froze, unsure of how to respond. He couldn’t possibly admit that he was helping the
Grants tyrannize the Harmons, could he?
Tyler intervened, “Lord Xenos, what brings you to this place?”
“What, do I need to report my movements to you?” George countered.
Tyler lowered his head slightly. “Not at all. I’m just curious, that’s all.”
“I heard Mr. Hector is celebrating his birthday today. I’m here to wish him a happy birthday.” George’s voice was loud and clear.

Chapter 575
“Wish him a happy birthday?” All eyes turned to Hector at George’s words. The Harmons were acquainted with Lord Xenos?
Trent’s voice began to quiver as he asked, “H–Hector, did you really invite Lord Xenos?”
“I…” Hector found himself at a loss for words. If he had indeed invited Lord Xenos, he wouldn’t
have feared the Grants. However, Lord Xenos seemed unmistakably on their side from his statement. Hector couldn’t figure out who could possibly have the influence to bring forth Lord
Xenos‘ presence.
“Roger, you must be here to send your wishes too, I reckon?” George suddenly asked.
“Huh?” Roger was momentarily stunned before nodding. “Yes, that’s right… I’m here to send my wishes!” He wouldn’t dare continue acting rashly with Lord Xenos backing the Harmons. He could only use the pretext to act as if nothing had happened.
“How about you?” George turned his attention to Tyler, his tone slightly imposing.
“I’m here to send my wishes and pick up my bride,” Tyler answered bluntly.
“Pick up your bride? Who is she?”
Tyler answered, “Mr. Hector’s daughter and I have long been engaged. Today is the day of our marriage according to the marriage contract.”
