The crowd looked back and saw a man in government uniform step forward with several staff members.
Who else would it be if not Ray?
“Mr. Simmons…” Weston immediately put down his phone and greeted Ray respectfully.
Ray was the government official responsible for land development. None of these land development businessmen dared to offend Ray.
“Mr. Simmons, you’re here too…” Jimmy also greeted Ray.
“How long are you going to keep on looking for trouble if I don’t come to Billion Trees Real Estate?” Ray asked indifferently after glancing at Jimmy.
That question made Jimmy confused.
Edgar had already heard from Weston that Ray and Mozart seemed to know each other. But, he thought it was only because Mozart came to Joules Town with a lot of money. That was the reason why Mozart was given special attention.
However, judging from Ray’s tone, it seemed his relationship with Mozart was not as simple as Jimmy thought.
“Mr. Lennon, are you okay?” Ray stepped forward and respectfully asked Mozart.
The attitude made Jimmy and Weston freeze.
Although Ray did not hold a very senior position, he was important in the government. In particular, all the projects in his district had to get his approval first. At least that status had no problem holding them down.
But they saw Ray turned to Mozart and greeted him respectfully.
Did that not mean Mozart was more powerful than Ray?
Jimmy and Weston gritted their teeth at the thought. It seemed their plan against Mozart today had gone down the drain.
“Where’s your power?” Mozart asked indifferently, looking at Jimmy.
Jimmy and Mozart glanced at each other before looking away. Jimmy could not do anything with Ray on Mozart’s side.
“Mr. Simmons, Mozart beat up my staff.” Jimmy was still unwilling to give up.
Ray could not help but shake his head and smile at that.
Edgar beat up Jimmy’s staff?
Mozart could fight anyone he wanted. They should be honored that he beat up Jimmy’s staff.
“Please move to Tyson Road, Mr. Lidell. The station there is dedicated to dealing with these civil disputes.” Ray shook his head before turning and heading into the hotel with Mozart.
Edgar left Jimmy and the rest looking at each other. They had no idea that Ray and Mozart were so close.
Ray even utilized his own identity and image for Mozart. Edgar blatantly protected Mozart.
“I thought too lightly of him…” Jimmy gritted his teeth as he watched Mozart leave.
Edgar found that Mozart could put on a suit, offer an exorbitant five billion dollars at the auction, and communicate with various big shots. However, Mozart could also dress casually and strike like a hooligan.
Jimmy was baffled by how quickly his identity had changed.
“Mr. Lidell, we can’t let this go. It’s already the second time he hit me!”
It was even more depressing with Weston around. Edgar did not need to get slapped in the face. However, Jimmy challenged Mozart to try and slap him again.
Mozart did not hesitate to slap Weston backhanded, leaving him dumbstruck. Indeed, he was suffering and could not even talk about it!
“It’s not the end of this!” Jimmy gritted his teeth and walked into the hotel with a solemn face.

Dinner venue.
It was already lively.
Socialites, real estate magnates, and billionaires were everywhere. Many people were talking enthusiastically while holding glasses of wine.
Perhaps they had made deals of tens of millions or billions of dollars while they talked. Therefore, the point of these high society parties was not to eat, drink, and have fun. It was a rare networking opportunity.
Since these people are here, they were not going to pass up such a good opportunity.
After Mozart and Anita walked inside, the crowd froze slightly before gathering around them.
“Mr. Lennon, you came too?”
“Mr. Lennon, you’re young yet brilliant!”
“I didn’t expect you to be here, Mr. Lennon. It’s a good thing I came today!”
The crowd gathered around Mozart and greeted him warmly.
The five-billion-dollar bid had already made Mozart famous in Joules Town’s business circle.
Edgar spent five billion dollars and made himself famous. Without putting on airs, Mozart responded with a smile before sitting down in a chair.
The people did not leave but gathered around Mozart instead. They were not familiar with Mozart. And, they would never be familiar with Mozart if they did not take the initiative.
These rich people were usually full of pride and liked to show off in front of ordinary people. However, they were humble and dared not act recklessly in front of Mozart.
Jimmy’s face darkened when he came in and saw that. Edgar had no idea that Mozart would have so many supporters.
Edgar thought he was well-connected and knew many more people in Joules Town than Mozart. Therefore, he wanted to embarrass Mozart at today’s dinner party. However, he now found it impossible.
A dozen real estate tycoons and real estate businessmen were sitting next to Mozart. What it meant was self-evident.
“Hmph!” Jimmy snorted and sat down.
Only a few of the businessmen around Jimmy greeted him.
“You can talk to my assistant. Anita handles everything related to Lennon Real Estate.” Mozart slowly waved his hand, stopping the crowd who wanted to talk to him.
They turned to look at Anita when Mozart said this.
Anita coughed slightly and could only talk with them.
The dinner party quickly started.
The owner of Rose Real Estate, who hosted the dinner party, also got on stage and spoke. However, Mozart did not listen to a word he said.
Who would go to so much trouble if they were not gaining anything from it?
Mozart knew what Rose Real Estate was up to without even thinking about it.
