It was because you could tell how classy it was by looking at the guests attending the gala.Standing at the gala venue were all Dorodo's bigwigs—either famous businessmen or heads of prominent families.The one with the highest status was Mayor Quentin and his daughter, Shania.With these two and so many rich and famous people in attendance, how could the gala not be classy?The classiness of a gala was never measured by the quality of the food or wine but by the identity of the gala's guests!Was there any banquet or ball in Dorodo that was classier than the gala tonight, which was attended by all members of Dorodo's high society? You could say that everyone famous in Dorodo was here.The big shots from the Wosh family and the Montana family were here too.The head of the Wosh family—Benedict, and his daughter Miriam attended.There was only one person from the Montana family, and it was Monica herself, who was invited.Benedict and his daughter Miriam went up to Sean with M

These three middle-aged men were none other than the patriarch of the Walker family, Elijah, the patriarch of the Stewart family, Cole, and the patriarch of the Lambert family, Dylan.The heads of the three influential families claimed they had something to do, so they sent their sons to the gala with the invitations to deliberately make trouble.However, they got the news about Lionel, Solomon, and Nathan's arrest and hurriedly rushed over. After all, Lionel, Solomon, and Nathan were their flesh and blood, and they could not watch their sons go to jail and even be branded spies for other cities."Sorry, sorry, Commander Lennon. We're late."Elijah walked in and said to Sean with a smile."I'm really sorry. I had something to do today, so I had my son attend the fundraising gala. I just managed to find time now," Cole said.Dylan said nothing and was looking haughtily at Sean.Sean's expression remained unfazed, and he still smiled faintly."Now that you're here, sit down."He

Elijah, Cole, and Dylan were furious to hear Sean's words.'We're heads of the top three families in Dorodo. So what if we were late? Being late for such little time was nothing.'We gave you a lot of face by attending your fundraising gala!'However, the rest of the guests thought otherwise. Sean's remark woke them up.'Yes, we're all human beings. Why should we arrive early for the gala and waste time waiting for you three who were late?'Since you're late, you should stand!'This is the punishment you deserve. It's the result of your own choice!'The guests looked at Elijah, Cole, and Dylan, and some of them gloated.Quentin suddenly got up to represent all the fundraising gala guests sitting in their chairs and told Elijah, Cole, and Dylan, "Mr. Walker, Mr. Stewart, Mr. Lambert, you guys are late no matter what. In that case, why don't you just stand? It's not a big deal anyway. Commander Lennon also said the gala won't take long. It will be over soon.""Yes, yes, Elijah.

Cole spoke in an aggressive tone.Sean shook his head slightly and said slowly, "No, it's not a misunderstanding. The invitation I sent made it very clear that only the person I invited is allowed to attend the gala. And only one guest is allowed with them. You three don't have to attend if you can't. I won't force you! Tonight's charity fundraising gala is a consensual event and doesn't involve any coercion."Sean momentarily paused at this.Then his expression instantly turned solemn as his tone became stern."But what about you? Nothing will happen if you don't come. But you have broken the gala's rules by having your sons attend with your invitations. Besides, your sons not only came, but they also brought a large group of bodyguards with them. They caused a commotion in front of the city defense army's main camp entrance and even deliberately caused trouble. Tell me if I should put them in jail."Sean's words left Elijah, Cole, and Dylan speechless!After a moment, Cole brac

"Since you have no other opinions, the fundraising gala starts now."Sean said firmly.Elijah, Cole, and Dylan were furious.However, even if they were angry, they dared not show it, much less lose their temper on the spot.After all, they had become the target of criticism. If they did anything irrational, Sean would go after them!The fundraising gala began.The first performance was a chorus by 20 city defense soldiers.Sean had ordered the selection of about 100 city defense soldiers who could sing or dance for the gala tonight. He turned their training time into rehearsing time.It was time for them to show Sean and everyone else what they had been practicing.However, city defense soldiers were neither professional actors nor professional singers. The songs they sang were grand but not very neat.However, the audience watched attentively and enjoyed it.After the first chorus performance, 30 city defense soldiers lined up on the stage to show military boxing.Military

Five million Dragon Dollars!Quentin was indeed the mayor of the city. He donated five million dollars in a blink of an eye. You could say that he was utterly generous.Then Quentin waved his hand, and Shania, who was already ready, immediately walked onto the stage with a smile and took out a bank card from her bag.Five million was too big an amount to donate in cash, so they used a bank card to pay.Sean nodded to a soldier, who quickly brought a payment terminal.Shania swiped her bank card on the payment terminal, and the machine showed the bank account balance. [You have five million Dragon Dollars in your account.]"Commander Lennon, the PIN is the last six digits of the card number. Take it."Shania smiled and gently placed the bank card on the table in front of Sean.Sean nodded, and the soldier beside him immediately recorded Quentin's five million Dragon Dollar donation.As Quentin stepped off the stage with his daughter Shania on his arm, Sean looked at the crowd

Perhaps it was women's talent."Mrs. Montana, how much are you donating?" Sean asked with a smile.Monica smiled, took out a bank card, and said, "I'll donate four million dollars."Four million Dragon Dollars!That was second only to Mayor Quentin's donation!"Thank you, Mrs. Montana."Sean said earnestly.After Monica, Ronald got onto the stage.Ronald surprised all the guests when he came on stage.Ronald was a weapons dealer. He was a wealthy businessman in Dorodo, but he was not from a noble family after all.His initiative in donating money surprised everyone there."Commander Lennon, I was thrilled to learn of the charity you did in the slums. It has been a long time since Dorodo has had someone so willing to help and serve others like you! And you and Mrs. Montana are right. Helping the poor is helping ourselves!"Ronald said and beckoned to his daughter, Lillian.Lillian then picked up the large bag beside her and struggled to get it up on the stage with everyone

After Ronald, all the guests in the room started to donate. One by one, they came up to the stage and donated cash. Some used bank cards like Mayor Quentin, the head of the Montana family, and the head of the Wosh family.The gala instantly became lively.The amount of money raised also skyrocketed!Sean was a little surprised.It was because he had raised hundreds of millions of dollars.He had thought it would be impossible to raise so much money, only tens of millions of dollars at most.However, after the series of events tonight, Mayor Quentin's attitude, and the help from Benedict and Monica, the fundraising gala had been doing surprisingly well!After half an hour, the donations finally came to an end.The total donations had passed the 200 million mark!More than 100 guests present had donated no less than one million dollars. Most donated three or four million dollars like Benedict and Monica, or two or three million dollars, or as few as over a million dollars.With
