"Damn, why is it that their patriarch's office is this far," Zen cursed inwardly when they walked for over 10 minutes already.
"Be patient already, the Jade Kingdom is a massive place so of course, you will have rich people building their houses on many acres." Krista Dragoon said calmly.
She was living in the Peace Blossom Court and her area was even bigger than the Callia family. Hence, she wasn't even bothered by the fact that they did many twists and turns and still haven't reached the office.
Soti later, Zen finally saw the office door and smiled evilly.
'Motherfucker, just wait till I scam the shit out of you,' Zen cursed the patriarch inwardly for making him waste so much effort just to et with him.
However, Krista Dragoon glared at Zen and said, "Let do the talking while you stay quiet- do you understand my aning?"
Zen twitched his mouth slightly as he can tell she doesn't believe in him when it cos to negotiating things.
'Che, it's not like I'm a power-hungry person that wants to take all the credits.' Zen exclaid inwardly as he shrugged his shoulders.
Since Krista Dragoon wants to handle the difficult task then, by all ans, he would let her do it without complaining even a bit.
After all, he was doing all of this for her anyway and not the other way around.
anwhile, Krista Dragoon stepped forward and heard the patriarch of the Callia family, yelling at two people with their nas being shouted constantly.
"Leon and Daphne, I cannot believe what kind of ridiculous thing you did in the open street. Do you have any idea how many faces I lost to the other noble's family?" The Callia family patriarch roared.
"B-But father, it's not my fault. You already know my feelings toward the princess from the very beginning when you sent to the Swift Feather Academy." Leon Callia's voice resounded.
"So you decided to pick a fight with him and not only did you lose miserably when the opponent didn't even make a move but you needed your little sister to rescue your sorry ass." The callia family patriarch tone beca more deadly and Krista Dragoon knew it's ti to interrupt them.
'Better stop their argunt otherwise, this eting would beco pointless.' Krista Dragoon said inwardly and walked forward.
Afterward, Krista Dragoon knocked on the door slightly, causing the patriarch to shout in anger.
"Didn't I say that I do not want anyone disturbing us?"
Krista Dragoon smirked as she opened the door, causing the patriarch to turn pale as he would have never guessed the person he refused to et would be knocking on his door.
'D-Didn't I order the guard to tell them I'm ill and won't receive any guests?' The patriarch exclaid inwardly as he had no idea what excuses to say about him being ill.
At the sa ti, Leon Callia's expression brightened up imdiately upon seeing his crush as he quickly dashed forward.
However, before he can even extend his hand out for a handshake, Zen stepped forward and blocked him from getting close to Krista Dragoon.
Leon Callia gritted his teeth as he saw Zen who humiliated him thoroughly in the crowd. He wanted nothing more than to beat Zen down but for so reason, fear soon overca him as he took a step back slightly.
'Heh, what a coward,' Zen sneered inwardly as he glanced at Daphne Callia who held a guilty look toward him.
Most likely because she was struggling to arrange a eting for him and was filled with guilt when she couldn't convince her father and got reprimanded instead.
"I'm sorry Zen, I've tried my best to convince my father but he was stubborn and refused to et with you." Daphne Callia sent a ntal transmission to Zen in an apologetic tone.
"It's fine, I already knew your father is a senile old man that refuses to et with others that can jeopardize his family," Zen replied calmly and shook his head.
It wasn't her fault that they couldn't get a eting arranged but the patriarch himself as he was too traditional to embroil his family into politics that could spell the death of their entire mbers if he chose the wrong side.
anwhile, Krista Dragoon stepped forward and looked at the patriarch with a smile hanging on her face.
"Patriarch Byrne, I thought you were ill but I guessed you healed rather quickly," Krista Dragoon giggled softly.
However, anyone with eyes could tell that Krista Dragoon was sneering at Patriarch Byrne.
Byrne Callia, an old fogey who has thrived his Callia family to survive through the rchant business and has always remained neutral when it cos to imperial family politics.
Thus, he was always smart enough to know the tide and not allow him or his offspring to get close to anyone in the imperial family in case they are forced to join an alliance when it cos to fighting for the throne.
Byrne Callia cleared his throat softly and said, "Indeed, the illness ca extrely fast and went away quickly as well."
And he continued, "It wasn't my intention to not accept any visitor at the mont since my offspring have been so much of a disappointnt that I had no choice but to get off from my resting bed to lecture them."
Byrne Callia's response and reason to refuse to et with Krista Dragoon was extrely clever that no one could nitpick on.
'Hmph, I may be old but my brain cells haven't deteriorated at all.' Byrne Callia laughed inwardly as he kept a calm and collected expression on the surface.
"Since that's the case then I believe you're healthy enough to discuss an important thing with us. After all, you are energetic enough to lecture Leon Callia and Daphne Callia." Zen chuckled softly as he broke the tense atmosphere.
Afterward, Zen walked to the couch and sat down as he showed his hand to signal Byrne Callia to sit down as well and have a chat with them.
