This restaurant, among all the dining halls in Elbert, could only be considered slightly above average, but the prices certainly weren’t sothing the lower classes could afford. ntioning this made many faces flush with anger, and one hot-tempered individual even slamd the table and stood up.
The atmosphere in the restaurant was on the verge of explosion.
“Looking to die!”
The conflict suddenly erupted, with first-year and second-year students clashing on the spot, blades and swords flashing, blood flying everywhere. Yet, Lady Daphne, who had stirred up the disagreent with a single sentence, sat in the middle, elegantly and nobly savoring her wine, as if an invisible barrier isolated her from the surrounding battle.
No matter how intense the fighting got, she remained unhard.
Ye Fei couldn’t stand it anymore and joined the fight, but unfortunately, her combat skills, honed at the top military academy, turned weak, and she could only sneak around on the sidelines.
Xu Jinglan didn’t participate.
Nolan, Ivan, and other second-year students from the Land War Academy didn’t participate either, instead, they cleared the space in the middle and sat down around Xu Jinglan in the corner.
“This Lady Daphne harbors great hostility,” Ivan said with a playful tone.
“Of course, she’s from the loyal Violet Family. It was one thing not coming to Capital Star, but now that she’s here, she’s definitely looking to make her presence felt.”
Ultimately, her provocation was superficially about the defiance of newcors, disrespect for the seniors, but in reality, it was mixed with political motives.
Xu Jinglan and the others were purely military people, not wanting to get involved in unnecessary political struggles; otherwise, they wouldn’t even know how they might end up dead.
“When will Major General Fu Xing be back?” Xu Jinglan suddenly asked.
Everyone instinctively looked at Nolan.
“Indeed! He should have returned by now. Now, all the nobles from the Empire obey His Majesty’s Imperial Decree, coming to Capital Star to participate in the noble knight tournant. Even the Democracy Alliance and the Free Federation have sent delegations here.”
Nolan looked strangely at everyone, “If you’re concerned about when Lin Fu will be back, just say so directly, why beat around the bush?”
“Cough… Haven’t you noticed the problem?” Anton coughed softly, lowering his voice, “Ever since Major General Fu Xing left, the discussion direction about the newcor’s competition and Lin Fu has changed, with more and more people questioning and belittling our performance on Helheim Star.”
Of course, they had noticed, which is why they were so anxious.
“There’s soone manipulating things from behind, hoping Lin Fu cos back soon. As long as she returns now, with her capabilities, she could easily suppress all the doubts.”
“The more this happens, the more there are people who don’t want her to co back.”
“I have faith in Major General Fu Xing; since he personally took on the task, he won’t ss up.”
After so more discussion, everyone unanimously agreed that sothing unknown must have happened to Lin Fu, and they entrusted Nolan with the task of investigating.
Nolan didn’t refuse and readily agreed.
After the discussion, the group left together.
“They’ve left,” Daphne’s personal attendant said, bowing respectfully. “We didn’t manage to provoke them into erupting; it seems they are much more stable than we thought.”
“Let’s find another opportunity to test them; they are the true trusted companions of Lin Fu, and we can gauge Lin Fu’s combat capabilities through them,” Daphne said, putting down her wine glass, no longer in the mood to stay.
Such places were only liked by people like Lin Fu who relied on n for social advancent.
She didn’t deny Lin Fu’s capabilities and even admired her performance on Helheim Star, but she couldn’t agree with her ways and views.
Hopefully, Lin Fu would co back soon!
Otherwise, it might be too late.
