Chapter 1394

When Philip heard this, his expression suddenly darkened.

Why did he have to bump into these two people again when he was just here to eat? To be honest,
Philip still refused to bow down to Matthew.

However, he was not as powerful, so he had no choice.

Moreover, they had already acknowledged Matthew as the Lord of Eastshire, so they had to express
enough respect for him.

Now that Matthew and the crown prince were having a meal upstairs, and they knew about it, he had to
go up and pay them a visit.

Otherwise, if Matthew or the crown prince found out about this in the future and came to look for him,
he would not be able to explain himself.

After a moment of silence, Philip stood up and grumbled, "I'll go up and have a look."

Saying that, he got up and left.

Raymond was puzzled at the sight.His birthday banquet had just begun, so why was Philip leaving
already? "Master White, what's the matter?" he asked hurriedly.

Philip replied offhandedly, "I'm going to visit a friend."

With that said, he waved to the members of the White Family sitting next to him, motioning them to
leave with him.



In an instant, everyone in the White Family immediately got up and followed him out, and two tables
were immediately emptied.The crowd suddenly fell silent.

The White Family was probably the most powerful family at this birthday banquet, but they immediately
left just as the banquet began.

What's going on? Could it be that they're dissatisfied with the Reeves Family? Everyone in the Reeves
Family became extremely embarrassed, and the attitude of the White Family made them deeply
ashamed.

However, that was just the beginning.

After Philip left, he immediately notified the other eight families of the news and asked their men to go
in and notify their respective family heads.

Obviously, Philip couldn't talk about it directly in front of everyone.

After that, the people he instructed went inside to carry out his orders.

When the other eight family heads saw Philip leaving earlier, they were all quite surprised and couldn't
figure out what was going on, but now that they learned that Matthew and the crown prince were
upstairs, they clearly couldn't sit around, so each of them got up and left with the members of their
family.

Just like that, everyone from the nine great families left, leaving more than half of the hall empty.

Meanwhile, the Reeves Family were livid, and each of them bore mortified expressions.It was the
Reeves Family's pride that the nine great families came to celebrate Raymond's birthday today.

However, when the banquet had just begun, all of the nine great families had immediately left, leaving
the members of the Reeves Family embarrassed and about to have a meltdown.



What the hell was going on? Raymond looked even worse.

The nine families' sudden departure gave him a feeling that the Reeves Family was about to be
doomed.

He felt a little unhappy, and when everyone in the Wayne Family was about to leave, he finally couldn't
hold himself back and walked over to stop Master Wayne, who he was quite close with.

Dejected, Raymond asked, "Master Wayne, w-what in the world is going on? My birthday banquet has
just started.Why are you all leaving? Did the Reeves Family offend you in any way? Master Wayne,
we're old friends.I-If I've done something wrong, you can at least tell me so that I can offer my apology!"

Master Wayne waved his hand.

"Old Master Reeves, you're overthinking this.Actually, this matter has nothing to do with you.It's mostly
because there's a big shot upstairs that we have to pay a visit to."

Raymond's eyes widened.

"Master Wayne, w-what are you talking about? What kind of big shot upstairs can make the heads of
the nine families pay them a visit? Master Wayne, who could be more important than the nine of you in
Eastshire?"

Master Wayne sighed.

"Old Master Reeves, this big shot's origin isn't simple! Let me give you a piece of advice.If you want the
Reeves Family to join the ranks of the Ten Greatest Families, you better head up and pay them a
visit.As long as this big shot gives you the green light, the Reeves Family will definitely be able to
become a member of the Ten Greatest Families!"
