Chapter 787: Chapter 252: An Idiot Says, I’m Invincible in the Sa Tier_4
I must say, the stuff from a financial conglorate’s household is simply superior.
If it can be bought with money, it must be the best!
All kinds of gourt delicacies, along with extraordinary food with special effects…
This was even better than the few banquets Leonard Churchill had attended in Sinless City before.
However, the comfort didn’t last long.
While Leonard was eating, suddenly, he saw an old man leading a butler walking towards him.
Leonard had already scoped out the banquet hall when he first entered.
The old man held a high position; everyone who ca went to greet him.
If he wasn’t mistaken, this person was the “Grandpa” Vera Williams ntioned.
The decision-maker of the Song family now.
Leonard didn’t particularly like this kind of socializing.
But seeing the old gentleman approaching him directly, he still greeted him out of courtesy, “Old sir.”
The old man didn’t seem to be as wary of him, an outsider, as the other mbers of the Shepherd family were; he smiled kindly and said, “Young man, not bad at all.”
Leonard: “Old sir is too kind.”
Old Williams: “Are you the ‘Mr. Sunny’ that Vera talks about?”
Leonard nodded without arrogance or humility: “Leonard Churchill has seen Old Williams.”
The old man continued, “Vera has ntioned you to many tis before…”
“…”
Leonard sensed that assessing gaze.
He knew the old man ca to test his background, but his origins were indeed complicated; they were hard to explain and he had no intention of explaining them to anyone besides Vera Williams.
Although it was sowhat impolite, he still chose the most direct approach and said bluntly, “Old sir, sorry to be rude. I know you may have many questions, but I must ask for your forgiveness as due to so special reasons, I can’t explain. I just want to say two things. Vera is a very good friend of mine. I have no interest in wealth either.”
These two sentences could already respond to almost all questions from the older generation of the Song family.
If the other party could not understand, or chose to continue being difficult, then Leonard had no desire to elaborate further.
“…”
Upon hearing this, the old man’s wise eyes suddenly grew sharp.
Far from feeling disrespected, the old man laughed heartily and said, “Refresing! Young man, I like your character!”
A person with his life experience had understood everything within those two sentences.
Since he wanted confirmation and had received his answer,
then nothing else mattered.
Old Williams suddenly found himself taking quite a liking to this young man before him, saying with a laugh, “I also know that it must have been that girl Vera who asked you to co tonight to cover for her. You consider that girl a friend. Correspondingly, she also considers you a trustworthy friend…”
Leonard neither confird nor denied this.
The old man spoke straightforwardly, not beating around the bush, and said directly, “I will take care of that girl’s affairs. However, tonight, you might have to appear. To make so people back off. They are all old friends, and after they have asked, it isn’t easy for to refuse. But if it’s their own offspring who aren’t up to snuff, then I have given my old face an explanation…”
Upon hearing this, Leonard decisively replied, “Okay!”
Since he had promised Vera to co, he naturally had this intention from the start.
The old man had been very frank with his words, aning: You just make a fuss, as long as it works out, I will handle the aftermath for you.
Couldn’t be better.
…
The old man chatted for a bit and then left.
To onlookers, the conversation seed rather unpleasant.
The banquet continued as usual, with dancing and chatting where appropriate.
Leonard was imnsely enjoying the food at the buffet.
After waiting for quite so ti, Vera Williams finally finished eting wave after wave of dozens of relatives and friends and strolled over.
“Ah… it’s really such a hassle…”
Murmuring, she picked up a glass of wine and took a sip.
Seeing Leonard enjoying his al, she blinked and asked, “Is it tasty?”
Leonard nodded, “Not bad at all.”
With his “Gluttony” ability, he could quickly convert food into energy, and he was feeling great with so much high-end food.
Just then, soft and beautiful notes began to waft through the banquet hall.
Another lively dance tune started up.
However, Vera seed uninterested in the food, her eyes twinkling as she asked, “Mr. Leonard Churchill, aren’t you going to invite to dance?”
Leonard: “Sure.”
Vera’s eyes lit up with delight, but she still said in a lancholic tone, “Ah… do you know, it’s very…”
It would be very embarrassing for a woman to have to invite her dance partner herself.
He had been so focused on his food that he had indeed neglected this aspect.
Without waiting for her to finish, Leonard offered a gentlemanly bow, held out his hand invitingly, and asked, “Miss Vera Williams, may I have the honor of inviting you for a dance?”
Vera Williams hadn’t finished her snide remark when she imdiately stopped, her eyes sparkling with joy as she smiled and responded, “Sure~”
The two of them entered the dance floor light-heartedly, stepping to the beat of the dance music.
At that mont, the flas of enmity instantly flared to their peak.
…
Leonard Churchill held Vera Williams in his arms and rrily danced across the floor, their familiar gazes eting each other with beaming smiles on both their faces.
In no ti, they beca the center of attention for everyone.
Leonard Churchill’s presence was commanding, seeming almost overbearing.
And Vera Williams was radiant, the epito of beauty rely by standing there.
Together, they gave the impression that the entire stage was theirs and theirs alone.
Even the young noblen who had considered inviting Vera to dance felt ashad to speak up.
Vera was enjoying herself more and more, twirling and hopping with light steps…
In her clear, spring-like eyes reflected Leonard’s handso and elegant face.
She didn’t hide her admiration, “Mr. Leonard Churchill, you really look super handso!”
Leonard laughed, “That’s the third ti you’ve said that tonight.”
Vera took another few glances, “Well, it’s true! Very handso!”
Hearing this, Leonard responded with polite reciprocity, “Then… Miss Anne, you look very, very beautiful tonight as well.”
“Thank you.”
With her reply ca Vera’s bell-like laughter, “Hahaha…”
Suddenly, it turned into a mutual exchange of complints.
The atmosphere instantly beca joyful.
After two dances, Leonard could clearly feel more envious gazes piercing him like a thousand arrows.
But at the sa ti, they weakened.
Envy burns bright when there is a basis for comparison,
But how could they dare speak if they knew they were defeated just by looking, not even on the sa level?
Those young noblen had nothing but their family background to cling to, none of them had the confidence to outshine the man who commanded the spotlight tonight.
rely by watching, their courage was already crushed.
Leonard thought it would be nice if this could put an end to all the trouble.
However, it was at that mont that he caught snippets of an unabashed conversation.
…
In a corner of the banquet hall, a blond young man gazed at Leonard and Vera in the dance floor, his expression filled with resentnt.
As the heir of the Duke Ross family, marrying a rchant’s daughter was already giving the Song family considerable honor.
How could she be so ungrateful?
She was about to get engaged to him, yet she got all cozy with another man?
Thinking this, Jose was seething with rage and turned to a sword-bearing youth in martial arts garb beside him, asking, “Are you confident? They say that guy has killed a Third Tier card master. His fighting techniques are strong. Seems like he’s an Air Skill Master like you.”
The sword-carrying young man was preoccupied with his food, and replied indifferently, “Hmph… Air Skill Master? In front of my Shepherd family, others dare call themselves Air Skill Masters? Don’t worry. Within the sa tier, I am invincible.”
Jose said, “That’s good to hear. Even if you can’t kill him, make sure to cripple him!”
“…”
…
“My sense of hostility has improved again…”
Leonard heard these words.
But he didn’t care at all.
It’s normal for the privileged to be a little arrogant.
Instead, Leonard was interested in practicing his sensing ability.
But that statent was quite bold.
Heh, invincible within the sa tier?
Leonard had been wondering who could be so bold as to make such a claim.
But then looking at the youth with the Great Sword on his back, he suddenly changed his mind; well, he had the right to say that.
However, now was not the ti.
After the dance ended, that sword-carrying youth walked out like a hothead, pointing at Leonard’s nose and said, “Hey, I challenge you to a duel!”
In the upper class society, duels were a common way to resolve disputes,
Especially over matters of love.
But this guy was different.
Leonard looked at the young man, his expression slightly bemused.
This guy who had reached the Third Tier at such an age and was able to invoke “Curse Power Gang” was indeed strong.
And looking at the Great Sword that resembled a door on his back, Leonard’s expression beca even more bemused, thinking to himself, “Useless Great Sword?”
