Chapter 436 Golden Father and Son

"You!" A businessman in a blue suit beside Mr. Ruiz got up from his seat and pointed at Jiang Yue. "Are you calling us dogs?" He then glanced at Mr. Ruiz, trying to gauge if his actions impressed the latter. To his disappointment, the latter did not even spare him a glance. He was just leisurely drinking next to him.

How embarra.s.sing!

"Jin… let"s go to the next table." Jiang Yue said ignoring the raging man in front of them. In response, Fu Jin also ignored the man and walked towards the next table, leaving the furious man gritting his teeth in anger. The man was about to follow the couple when he saw Peter Pardi"s warning glance.

That"s right, he was not supposed to do anything to the couple. Peter Pardi had already sent a word to every prominent family to not ruin Fu Jin"s birthday. The man furiously sat back and glared at both Jiang Yue and Fu Jin. The thought of Peter Pardi"s warning instantly lightened his mood. Since the latter had warned them not to get involved, it should be because he was already planning to ruin the celebration before the night even ended, right?

After all, Peter Pardi was one of the most influential men present at the banquet.

Suddenly, the man felt gooseb.u.mps run all over his body, he then s.h.i.+fted to look at a man, who was dressed in a black suit and was sitting at the last table to his left. The man was just staring at him with a blank look on his face. However, for some reason, he instantly felt that this man was a threat to him.

"Hey… Mr. Ruiz, may I know the ident.i.ty of the man sitting at the last table to our left? He is wearing an all-black suit with a black tie, the one beside the handsome young man, wearing a maroon dinner suit." He whispered to the old man beside him.

"That should be Mr. Ivan Petrov. He came from one of the old families in Emerald Country. Not many people know him because he rarely appears at banquets like this." Another man answered. "It is known that the Petrovs are enemies with the Vercellos for a long time now. It was even rumored that most of the Petrovs died from the Vercellos" hands not too long ago." The man elaborated in a tone that could only be heard by the people next to him.

Everyone, who heard the man"s words, instantly turned their gazes towards Ivan Petrov. They couldn"t help but wonder how a man like him turned up at a party like this. He should have had a certain goal for coming to this party.

Could he be looking for an ally against the Vercello Family?

The group of men continued observing Ivan Petrov until the latter noticed their gazes. Ivan only glanced at them before raising his wine gla.s.s towards them. Then, he gave them a smile and turned his gaze away from them. He turned his gaze towards Jiang Yue and Fu Jin who were walking hand in hand towards his table as his gaze turned gentle.

"Thank you for coming. Here is a toast for everyone." Fu Jin said when he reached the last table with Ivan Petrov.

"Happy birthday, Mr. Fu. My name is Ivan Petrov and this is my son Alex Petrov. It is a pleasure to meet you." Ivan greeted after downing the gla.s.s in his hand. His words instantly surprised everyone, including his people who were sitting at the table with him.

It was very unusual for Mr. Petrov to introduce himself to someone first. He was even smiling amicably at Fu Jin while introducing himself. It was completely out of his character.

Even Jiang Yue and Fu Jin were taken aback by his actions. Both had already heard about this man. In fact, they never thought that he would attend the party. Fu Jin had only sent out the invitation as a sign of respect towards the Petrovs. He didn"t expect any of them to show up and even introduce themselves to him.

Both Ivan and Alexander were known as the golden father and son in the black market. However, it was said that Ivan only revealed himself recently after the death of his wife. With this in mind, Jiang Yue stared at the two handsome men in front of them.

Ivan was as tall as Fu Jin while Alexander was a little shorter than both of them. However, their looks were as if they were taken straight out of a painting. The father and son looked absolutely stunning. Except for the fact that the duo did not bear any resemblance to each other, the duo did not have any major flaws in their appearance.

Seeing Jiang Yue"s eyes linger towards his son, Alex, Ivan instantly explained. "Alexander is my adopted son." He said while smiling at Jiang Yue. "It"s nice to finally meet you, Miss Jiang. I have heard so much about you." He then held Jiang Yue"s hand and kissed the back of her palm: a gesture that surprised not only Fu Jin and Jiang Yue but everyone inside the hall.
