After Philton finished speaking, everyone also began to offer their blessings.
Some who already knew that today's banquet was hosted by Mr. Barbu even brought prepared gifts, leaving a good impression.
Yet, some with delicate thoughts, although unaware of whom today's banquet was for, also came bearing gifts.
After all, they had known earlier that the captain was hosting this dinner, and normally a captain wouldn't host a banquet himself.
The host must be someone of extraordinary status to warrant the captain's personal presence, so they came prepared.
And at this moment, their preparations proved useful.
While Mr. Barbu smiled and accepted gifts from the crowd, two men in white chef uniforms quietly approached, pushing a cake trolley.
Following these two men were two blonde-haired men dressed as attendants.
And these two blond men in attendant attire managed to hide their faces well behind the six-tier cake.
