“Thanks in advance! Come on, Calvert. A toast to the two elders!"

Calvert took the cue. He picked up the carafe in front of him, filled the glasses of the elders, and then raised his glass to them. Everyone clinked glasses in solidarity.

After three rounds, Langston finally cut to the chase.

"I came here because of our young Calvert's face. He picked a fight with a young doctor, and now look at him."

Trevor was more confused.

"A young doctor? Can't you deal with it yourself?"

Langston was vexed at the mention of this.

"I already checked his background. He seems to be working for Darius Martin. But Darius is not in Alorith right now, so I didn't have a chance to talk with him. I invited you two to discuss this with me first."

Did they think he wanted to attract more attention? He didn't want to!

He already had his hired goons track down the guy who dared to hurt his son, so that they could teach the man a Lesson.

But they failed. Sheffield and his entourage were simply too skilled to be taken out Like that.

Langston had tried to get him in trouble at work. However, Darius and

Sidell were on Sheffield's side, so Langston had no choice but to invite Vernon and Trevor ask for their help.

Vernon was a well-placed figure in the underworld. He wasn't the most important, but he had more than a Little influence.

Trevor worked at the Patent Bureau. He was in a good position to mess with Sheffield. If Trevor could help him do something to Sheffield's patent application, then...

"Oh, he's one of Darius' doctors." Trevor thought for a while and asked, "That wouldn't be Sheffield, would it?"

The father and son looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

Vernon's face turned even gloomier. He paused to blow a smoke ring after taking a drag on his cigar. It floated across the booth before dissipating entirely

“This is a wrinkle I hadn't foreseen.” When he heard it was Sheffield,

Trevor's face changed abruptly.

Noticing his expression, Langston asked in confusion, “Why? What's so special about him?"

"You know he's working on some research project, right?"

Langston nodded. If he didn't know that, why would he bother to invite

Trevor for dinner?

“He's gained a fair bit of influence for his research. Did you know that?" Trevor asked seriously.
