Chapter 23
Four stars meant that the man was a lieutenant general.
When Esther saw Tiger's face, she was stunned.
She remembered clearly that the man was Chris's friend.
Thinking of this, Esther looked at Chris.
But Chris still looked calm.
"Let me introduce myself. I'm one of the five generals. People call me Tiger, and I'm working for Lord
Death."
Tiger then looked around, and no one dared to face his sharp eyes.
"God! Even a lieutenant general is working for General Lord Death?!"
"Of course! Lord Death is the only five-star general in Amerosia!"
"Oh, where is Lord Death?"
People in the hall discussed.
After Tiger looked around, he continued, "Lord Death is already here, but he doesn't like such a noisy
banquet. He keeps a low profile and doesn't like social activities."
His words caused an uproar in the hall.
People looked around and tried to find Lord Death.
Soon, many people stopped searching when they saw Chris.
Chris was wearing the uniform, and he looked domineering.
Even the Jefferson family, the Collins family, and the Harker family had to lower their heads to him.
Was he just Lord Death?
Esther also gazed at Chris.
Was her husband the well-known Lord Death?
Just as people were guessing, Tiger shouted.
"Don't try to find him. Lord Death can see your every move. I'm the host of this banquet. You can come
to me if you have anything to ask."
Hearing this, many people in the hall went forward.
"I'm the president of Skyline Airline. This is a diamond necklace, a gift for Lord Death. Wish him a long
life!"
"I'm the president of Golden Mountain Properties. My gift for Lord Death is a pure-gold horse sculpture.
Long live the Lord!"
"I'm the president of Blue Ocean Network. An entire set of Burmese rubies for the Lord. Hope everyone
in the world knows his name!"
...
Almost everyone sent their gifts to Lord Death.
Some sent a sapphire brooch set.
Some sent golden rings.
And some sent priceless paintings.
They all wanted to please Lord Death.
But Tiger didn't accept their gifts.
"The Lord appreciate your kindness, but he himself is wealthy enough, so he won't need such gifts!"
All the people were surprised.
Lord Death was the Primus in Amerosia, and naturally he had unparalleled power and wealth!
How could he take their gifts?
They all lowered their heads in shame.
Suddenly, Chris said to Esther, "Esther, you have a gift for Lord Death, don't you?"
What?
Esther was confused. She asked, "What are you talking about? I didn't prepare any gift."
"But isn't this your gift?" NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
Chris took out a bottle of vodka and handed it to Esther.
"Is this a gift for Lord Death?"
Esther looked at the vodka and asked in confusion.
"Chris, you must be kidding! We can't afford to offend Lord Death!"
Susan couldn't help scolding Chris as she heard this.
John asked worriedly, "Yeah, Chris, how can we send just a bottle of vodka to Lord Death?"
Chris smiled, "Don't worry. In fact, Lord Death likes vodka very much."
After that, he said to Esther, "Esther, listen to me. Give it to him!"
Esther took a deep breath and then walked to Tiger with the bottle vodka in her hand.
Susan and John were very nervous as they watched Esther walk towards Tiger.
What if Lord Death got angry? Then they would be doomed!
"I have a gift for Lord Death!"
Esther tried to speak in a calm tone.
