The Guardian's Sword

Chapter 2243

Then, Titus added, "Curtis is a fool, but he's quick to react.

"He lied to the Ocean City dignitaries there, making everyone think that the guys
who delivered the coffins were intimidated by that old geezer, Kennedy. He said
they left dejectedly after Kennedy scolded them.

"If we hadn't planted a mole in Kennedy's manor, we would probably never have
known about it!

But do they think that Ocean City's dignitaries are fools and that they can keep
today's events a secret forever?"

Titus grew angrier as he spoke. He grabbed the bottle before him to pour himself
another drink, but the bottle was empty.

"Here, drink all you want. I'll make sure you won't run out of wine!"

Sean said, handing him the bottle at his side.

He could now tell that Titus was the most idiotic one, even if he kept calling
Kennedy and Curtis fools.

He spilled the Lake family's secrets without even knowing who he was talking to.
"Thank you!"

Titus took the wine and thanked Sean.

Then, he picked up the bottle and began to pour it into his mouth as if to drown
his frustration with Kennedy and Curtis.

Bang!

He slammed the bottle on the table.

Titus could not hold his liquor very well. After several glasses of red wine, his
face had turned red, and he was drunk.

"Hie!

"I'm telling you. My dad has already discussed it with the third branch, and we're
going to overthrow that old geezer, Kennedy!

"Hmm... No, it's confidential. I can't tell you. Forget it. Kennedy won't be the head
of the Lake family in two days. It doesn't matter if you know!"

Titus said to himself, all the while pouring wine into his mouth.

Sean and the rest smiled at each other, not expecting to hear the Lake family's
secret at a meal.

The Lake family's three branches were falling out, and the second and the third
branches had prepared to team up to overthrow Kennedy.

"Mr. Lake, you can drink. Here's to you!"

Sean raised his glass and said to Titus.

Titus looked at Sean drunkenly before laughing and saying,” You look about my
age. People at our age shouldn't drink from the glass!

"Here! One bottle each. Let's drink!"

He stumbled over to the case of wine in the corner, pulled out two bottles, and
handed Sean one.

At that moment, Mario had returned.

He had had enough contact with Titus to know what he was like.

Smart people would keep their distance, so he waited some time before entering
the Emperor's Suite to avoid getting involved with Sean and the rest's issues with
the Lake family.

Titus did not know Sean and the rest's identities, but Mario knew.

Besides that, he had heard about what had happened at the Lake family’s manor
today. He was smart enough to know that Kennedy alone would never be able to
intimidate Theodore, Michael, and Jadon.

"Alright! Bottoms up!"

Sean laughed, looking utterly magnanimous.

As he spoke, he held the bottle in one hand and slapped on the bottom with the
other.

Bang.

The cork instantly popped out like a cannonball.
