In the distance, Edward Harper, accompanied by Clara Knox, made rounds among the guests, unexpectedly seeing that a mysterious big shot was attending the Harper Clan's celebration banquet.
Oliver Knox was a renowned real estate tycoon in Sea City, known even more for his ruthless business tactics than for his properties. Green Forest Real Estate was just a mid-sized company when it came into his hands; under his management, it dominated in just five short years.

Within the circle of the wealthy, people often discussed it, south for Oliver Knox and north for Edward Harper, two deities not to be easily provoked.
