While SC was receiving all kinds of approaches from different corporations and business firms all over the world, the global market's five kings suddenly announced altogether that they would be celebrating the success of ZD Comprehensive Project in Country C to introduce the progenitor of the project.
It was huge news for the business insiders.
The related media also created more hype out of this big news.
It was the renowned five kings of the young generation of the business world after all.
The future of the business world was entirely in their hands. It was not an exaggeration. The five kings were all currently in their twenties only, except for one man, but they already had a lot of influence and resources in their hands. Just imagine the future they would hold.
Moreover, the famous and globally successful ZD World was a project heavily invested in by the five kings.
With ZD World, the five kings along with SC Company's reputation soared to greater heights. So when they especially announced this news at the same time, it became known immediately in every corner of the world.
Various media channels seemed to have caught wind and let out speculations that the five kings would likely introduce a new 'king'.
The last time that the formerly four kings simultaneously announced in the society to introduce a personage, the fifth king was introduced at that moment.
The kings called it the 'big day'.
The rest of the world called it the 'coronation day'. Many people also assumed that this would be a 'coronation' day.
But if it was, then did it mean that the progenitor of the ZD World would be the sixth king?
But ZD came from SC Company, and SC Company was still a relatively new and arising powerhouse in Country C.
Many speculations about this upcoming 'king' circulated. But all this mere guesses and rumors would be answered once the 'big day' comes.
Until finally, the day arrived.
**
The venue for the most-awaited 'big day' was set on the hilltop of one of Erich's villa area in Country C.
As the one who had scouted Linfeng and the last one to be crowned as king, he would be hosting the big day.
In case a seventh king came up, then it would be Linfeng's turn.
Erich, who was half-Chinese and Half-American, has the greatest influence in Country C so this was a perfect role for him.
The five kings were currently inside one room, well-groomed in their customized designer clothes.
Each of their clothes matched their varying personalities and appearances, making them look like royal princes with different kinds of beauty and charisma.
Erich wore a double b.r.e.a.s.ted white suit with silver cufflinks.
Johan wore a notch lapel night-blue jacket and striped indigo tie.
Eugene's wide shoulders matched well with the single b.r.e.a.s.ted grey coat and pleated pants.
Caleb wore a distinctive and elegant thawb-inspired tunic which gave him both an airy yet noble flair.
William, the Casanova, wore a wine red coat and white collared silk shirt without a necktie, making him look like he was only in his early twenties instead of thirties.
"Where is the youngest?" William asked as he lazed on the couch.
The main hall was already crowded with hotshots from all over the world, yet the most important man in this event was not present yet.
Johan moistened his throat as he took a sip of wine.
"It's still early. He should be on his way. Why don't you try calling him?"
"I already did, but Linfeng always ignore my calls," William answered aggrievedly.
"Well, no one can blame him. Half of the time you call, you always talk nonsense. You know that Linfeng doesn't like to be teased, especially by you, but you still do it," Erich said as he passed a plate of snacks to his buddies.
The four men languidly took their favorite snacks.
"Hah! I'm starving. Who invented the rule that food should be served halfway in an event?"
Caleb complained as he elegantly ate his Mediterranean sandwich.
"They already served finger foods and pastries. But we can't go in there early. The old hags will corner us fast. It will be hard to escape from them afterwards," Erich said.
William's ears twitched at the mention of 'old hag', but he kept quiet as no one mentioned about his age.
Being surrounded by people in their twenties made him feel suddenly older.
Bah!
He was still young in his prime age!
Age did not matter at all. The face did!
Wasn't he the most sought after in the group?
William looked outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Where was the youngest anyway?!
**
At this moment, the youngest was in the parking lot in Erich's villa, inside the car.
The divider was raised up, separating the backseat from the outside world.
Linfeng wore his trademark color once more over his entire body.
Black slim fit suit, black silk shirt underneath, a dark grey necktie with retro silver chains, black slim fit pants, and black leather shoes. His inky black hair was newly trimmed and swept back.
The noble yet aggressive black color, made his pitch-black eyes look sharper and striking.
Currently, this man was embracing a slender woman in his arms.
