Rena Mizunashi, acting as a reporter for the gala, stood at the entrance conducting an exclusive interview to promote the Suzuki family's charity gala.

"Is the banquet about to begin?"

"Why is there no movement at all?"

"Shh, keep your voice down! Don't let anyone hear you. I heard you're waiting for someone."

"Waiting for someone? Who has such a great influence that Mrs. Suzuki is willing to wait here?"

"They're probably some important person."

"That's strange. You know, most of the family heads have already arrived, or at least sent a representative. It's rare for anyone to be late for the Suzuki family's banquet."

"Hey! Look! It looks like someone's appeared at the door!"

"..."

As everyone waited, Chen Mo appeared at the door in a suit.

With his handsome face, upright posture, and model-like physique, he walked in from afar and instantly became the focus of everyone's attention, especially the girls in the banquet hall, who were almost completely attracted to him in an instant.

"Who is this person? I've never seen him before!"

Yes! Does anyone know?

Those around him looked puzzled, as they did not recall such a person among the high-ranking officials and dignitaries.

When Suzuki Tomoko saw Chen Mo appear, she immediately stepped forward to greet him, "Manager! You've finally arrived! Please come in! The banquet is about to begin."

Chen Mo looked at Suzuki Tomoko and smiled slightly.

Tomoko Suzuki led him directly to the head seat at the banquet. "Manager, this seat was specially prepared for you."

Everyone was stunned by what they saw. This table was filled with the heads of the top ten tycoons in the area, yet a young man was seated in the main seat.

But the key point is that Suzuki Tomoko personally greeted him, so no one dared to say anything.

But Suzuki Tomoko didn't care. She knew that her current achievements and the rapid progress of the Suzuki Group were entirely due to Chen Mo's Demon Card.

Chen Mo nodded slightly, and without any pretense of modesty, naturally sat down in the main seat.

"Okay, then I'll start hosting the banquet now."

Tomoko Suzuki smiled at Chen Mo, then walked towards the stage.

Chen Mo glanced at the others at the main table, most of whom looked somewhat familiar. He smiled slightly and said, "Everyone, please sit down without being shy."

The others looked at Chen Mo with a mixture of curiosity and hostility, but none of them said anything.

[Just who is this guy? How old is he, yet he's in the main seat!]

[Yes! That's unbelievable! It's like sitting on the head of the entire chaebol.]

[Surely Mrs. Suzuki wouldn't be so undignified? This young man seems to have quite a background.]

【…】

Chen Mo chose to ignore the sentiments of these people.

Tomoko Suzuki came onto the stage, took the microphone, and said, "Sorry to keep you all waiting, the banquet is about to begin."

"We will show you all the items in this auction in a moment! All proceeds from this auction will be donated, and all details of the proceeds will be published in the Suzuki Foundation."

"Alright, let's officially begin our banquet."

Knowing that everyone was getting impatient, Tomoko Suzuki said a few simple words and then officially began the banquet.

Chen Mo sat in the main seat and poured himself a glass of cola. He was just there to join in the fun and see if he could find some customers. He had no interest in socializing.

"Manager!" Tomoko Suzuki quickly came to Chen Mo's side, bending down to hand him a wine glass.

Chen Mo nodded slightly, took the glass of cola in his hand, and gently clinked it against hers.

"I'll get busy first."

Tomoko Suzuki finished her glass of red wine in one gulp, then turned and walked away.

"Well, don't worry about me."

Chen Mo smiled gently.

"Manager! You've finally arrived!" Sonoko Suzuki and the others immediately surrounded Chen Mo and toasted him one by one.

"Heh! It seems this place is a bit more boring than I thought."

Chen Mo grinned.

"Manager, let me introduce you. This is our good friend, Momiji!" Sonoko Suzuki immediately pulled Momiji Ooka to appear in front of Chen Mo.

"Hello!"

Chen Mo nodded slightly and gestured with the glass of red wine.

Ooka Koyo nodded slightly, but looked at Chen Mo with some curiosity.

【Who is he exactly? 】

Why does Mrs. Suzuki value him so much? Could he have some extraordinary background?

"Xiaolan!"

Eri Kisaki walked over with a glass of red wine.

"Mom, Aunt Kujo."

Ran Mouri greeted Eri Kisaki as soon as she saw her approaching.

"Yes, let's come over and offer a toast."

Eri Kisaki spoke with a smile, her expression indifferent, exuding a powerful aura.

Ran Mouri and the others immediately and tactfully withdrew.

"Manager, you've finally arrived! Let's raise a toast to you."

Eri Kisaki and Reiko Kujo approached Chen Mo, each holding a wine glass, and respectfully offered him a toast.

Everyone around was stunned by this scene. First, Mrs. Suzuki personally led him to the seat of honor and then humbly offered him a toast.

No one else here gets this treatment!

Then the second daughter of the Suzuki family and the eldest daughter of the Ooka family came over to offer a toast. But that wasn't all. The invincible queen of the legal world, Eri Kisaki, and the Madonna of the legal world, Reiko Kujo, also came over to offer a toast. You should know that both of them are known as ice queens and never give people a nice look, but just now I clearly saw them smile.

"Hey! Look, isn't that Yukiko who retired?"

"I didn't expect her to come here! It seems this banquet is quite prestigious!"

"Wait a minute, she went to toast that guy too, and the two of them seemed quite close!"

Yukiko rested her hand on Chen Mo's shoulder. "Manager, what are the arrangements after the banquet? If not, just listen to me?"

"Count me in."

Kuroba Chikage then answered.

"Hehe, the banquet is over, and the manager wants to go on a date with me."

Vermouth walked over, a slight smile playing on her lips, and clinked glasses with Chen Mo.

"Sharon!" Yukiko said irritably, "Hmph! I was the first one."

"Shh! Quiet down, the auction is about to begin."

Chen Mo made a soft-sounding gesture.

Yukiko and Vermouth immediately shut their mouths.

Miwako Sato stared at Chen Mo in astonishment from a distance, "Just who is this guy! Why do so many beautiful women throw themselves at him?"

She could understand if it were just some young girls, but the key is that there are people like Eri Kisaki among them, who are obviously not irrational people.

"He is the manager of the Devil's Convenience Store."

Inspector Megure walked over from the side, holding a document in his hand.

"What! He's the manager of the Devil Convenience Store!" Sato Miwako's eyes widened as she looked at Chen Mo again.

Inspector Megure nodded. "That's right! According to our investigation, the Black Organization has also been keeping an eye on his convenience store recently."

Sato Miwako frowned. "What's so special about his convenience store?"

Inspector Megure shook his head. "So I've decided to send you to investigate!"

Sato Miwako paused for a moment, then said with a serious expression, "Okay! I guarantee I'll complete the mission!"

Inspector Megure looked ahead and said, "I hope tonight will be peaceful. All the forces in this banquet hall are gathered here now, so the auction items are no longer important."

Sato Miwako glanced ahead and noticed that most people's eyes were already fixed on Chen Mo.

Tonight's protagonist seems to have shifted from the collection to this young man.

Chen Mo tapped his fingers lightly on the table in front of him. With several waves of encouragement, the sense of mystery he exuded had reached a new level.

He stood up from the chair and gently straightened his clothes.

"Everyone, please introduce yourselves. I am Chen Mo, the store manager from Devil Convenience Store!"

"Welcome to my convenience store to draw a card."

Before they could ask any more questions, they were suddenly shocked by what happened next.

Chapter 146: Chen Mo: Yui, Shiori, you two kneel down and prepare to receive your punishment!

"what!"

Sato Miwako looked at the scene before her in surprise.

Unexpectedly, Chen Mo disappeared in front of everyone.

"It might be some kind of magic trick!" Inspector Megure was also stunned, not expecting Chen Mo to leave in this way.

Sonoko Suzuki pouted, "Why did you leave so soon? I haven't even had a taste of my dessert yet."

"That's just like his style of doing things; he never plays by the rules."

Ran Mouri chuckled and shook her head.

Sera Masumi said while eating her dessert, "It's okay! We'll see each other at the school festival tomorrow anyway."
