"Wait a minute, I have an invitation, I was invited!"
Yupi Nan held the invitation high in his hands, terrified that soone might miss it.
Catherine gazed vacantly at the cunning hidden in Shen Mochen's eyes, a stunning smile slowly blooming at the corners of her mouth, casting a sidelong glance at the equally stunned Angelina, her face adorned with the pride of victory.
"You lost," Catherine said softly.
Angelina didn't utter a word. Regardless of today's outco, it was Shen Mochen who had won. Or rather, it was her daughter Catherine who had won. Shen Mochen's conduct at the mont far exceeded that of her past sweetheart.
All eyes were on the boy, who was now the absolute center of attention.
He was dressed casually, in a T-shirt with a thin jacket thrown over it, looking like a random, unremarkable person from the streets––even the buttons of his jacket were undone.
Yet he didn't seem like an ordinary person at all, strikingly splendid, as clear and bright as the autumn moon, his gaze as scintillating as a flowing breeze.
The Earl's face twitched slightly; he knew he had to remain calm now and couldn't afford a slip that would disgrace the Alexander family!
"Ha-ha, this young man is Kajiena's classmate, encountering such an occasion for the first ti," the Earl forced a smile, explaining to the guests in Roman language and then spoke to the Mayor of Yu Huai in Yupi language, "Mr. Mayor, I must trouble you to take good care of this student."
Shen Mochen took a deep breath, knowing that what he was about to do could cause all he owned to vanish into smoke—his career, wealth, and future might no longer be his own.
He looked around, except for those Romans he didn't recognize, all the remaining individuals from Yupi were big shots. The Yu Huai City Mayor, who he had always regarded very highly, seed like a re underling here.
What a rash decision, he had always been good at reading situations, keeping far away from the least approachable individuals...
But, if he didn't act today, he would surely regret it in the future.
He was certain of what he wanted.
"Wait a minute, father-in-law, these words of yours are really hurtful. Isn't today the engagent ceremony between Kajie and ?" Shen Mochen said.
The crowd was astonished; although so of the Romans didn't quite understand Yupi, they roughly guessed what was being said.
The Earl's face instantly turned grim: "Security, please escort this student out, it seems like he's agitated and not in his right mind."
"Don't be like that, father-in-law! How could you not even want to acknowledge your own son-in-law?"
Shen Mochen's face was sorrowful, and by this mont, about a dozen security guards had crowded in, equipped with professional munitions and bulletproof vests. These individuals, all professional ex-soldiers who had been outstanding during their military service, were present because today's banquet in Gaotang was the highest-profile event ever held, with every participant being a significantly important figure.
However, facing Shen Mochen, they did not employ brute force, since such a fragile-looking beautiful young man appeared to pose no threat––rely needed to be escorted out.
Catherine watched Shen Mochen with a calm expression. From her understanding of Shen Mochen, who had been a real trickster back in the slums, almost never fighting an unprepared battle, her heart was still sowhat anxious.
Her lips pursed slightly, the word "Fuzi" always on the verge of escaping her lips, ready to be voiced at any mont.
"Since you are so ruthless, there's nothing more I can say..."
As Shen Mochen faced the burly n before him, he sighed resignedly. Just as everyone thought this brief drama was about to conclude, Shen Mochen snapped his fingers.
In an instant, Yin Caiyu's unmatched power spread from his fingertips; before people could react, all the security guards had collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
The people were finally terror-stricken.
For with the security guards, several young girls had also fallen.
These young won were superpower users, originally the strongest shield guarding these dignitaries, but now they had crumbled and dissolved at Shen Mochen's single snap!
"He's a superpower user, damn it, how can a man possess such imnse power!" The Earl's face turned pale with panic.
Fear instantly spread across the hall.
The dignitaries trembled slightly, now realizing their position; their fates were completely dominated by this seemingly harmless young man.
So tried to flee, wanting to run outside to spread the news, but before they could take a step, an invisible pressure engulfed everyone, rendering them unable to move!
"Don't move, I'm not a devil. I won't hurt you," Shen Mochen said in his awkward Roman, smiling, "These people are just unconscious, not dead. They should wake up in about half an hour."
"What, what do you want to do?" The Earl's voice trembled but still attempted to sound composed.
The pressure of gravity vanished instantly, but no one dared to run anymore, realizing they surely couldn't escape and not wanting to further provoke Shen Mochen. Secondly, they all were cunning enough to recognize that this young man indeed did not intend to harm them, and he was mostly here for Catherine.
People had already guessed sothing was amiss.
Shen Mochen ignored the Earl and instead warmly shook hands with the Mayor, "Ah, you must be Mayor Wu from Yu Huai City! Hello, hello, my na is Shen Mochen, you've previously visited our school to give guidance!"
"Oh, oh, oh, you are a student from First Middle School, right? Truly a talented individual!" Mayor Wu, who seed like a flustered subordinate here, was a bit overwheld, earnestly comforting this boy who held the power of life and death over everyone, "May I ask who your father is? Perhaps we are all friends here!"
"My dad has been dead for many years, ah, let's not talk about that... Mayor, I am so wronged, you must seek justice for !" Shen Mochen gripped Mayor Wu's hand tightly, with a posture of pleading for justice like a wrongly accused servant.
I dare not seek justice for you, your Superpower is so formidable, who would dare to wrongly accuse you?
Mayor Wu was inwardly speechless, but he knew this mont was crucial. Although the young man did not state it explicitly, everyone here was his hostage.
All the family heads of the top families in Gaotang State, six top families' heads from the Capital, emissaries of the highest leader of Yupi Country, and three Marquises from the Roman Empire.
"You... speak freely about any injustices, Governor Hao is also here, we will definitely ensure you receive justice!" Mayor Wu nodded and bowed, not forgetting his superior.
"Let introduce myself again, my na is Shen Mochen, I am the Buque holder from team 0819." Shen Mochen said, handing over his Buque Certificate to Mayor Wu.
"Oh, oh, oh, I rember, I rember, a young hero of our city!" Mayor Wu slapped his thigh.
"Ah, what hero am I, I've been bullied to death!" Shen Mochen sighed.
Governor Hao kindly said, "Who has bullied you? Tell Uncle Hao, Uncle Hao will ensure you are not wronged!"
Shen Mochen pointed at Count Alexandrov, "Him! He bullied !"
Everyone paused, looking at the Count with so resentnt, this ss was caused by you?
"What nonsense are you talking about!" The Count was angry and aggrieved, "When have I ever bullied you!"
Now aren't you bullying ?
"I ca here with an invitation to attend Kajiena's coming-of-age ceremony, and they wanted to throw out, isn't that bullying !" Shen Mochen huffed, looking at Governor Hao with a wronged face, "Uncle Hao, so this is self-defense, no problem, right?"
Governor Hao's eye twitched slightly, aren't you being a bit shaless with that statent?
But, inward cursing aside, Governor Hao felt that if he dared to utter a single word of dissent at this mont, he might end up lying on the floor, so he seriously said, "Yes, yes, yes, that was indeed an oversight on our part, you were indeed defending yourself legally and justifiably."
"That's good." Shen Mochen breathed a sigh of relief, looking as if nothing was wrong, and addressed the crowd. "Let's continue then, is it not the ti for Kajiena to announce that I am her fiancé now?"
What kind of joke is this, how are you Catherine's fiancé? Are you planning to publicly take her hostage?
People cursed inwardly, and even the n were clenching their fists, fantasizing about rushing out to heroically rescue the damsel in distress.
Everyone's curious and questioning gazes turned to the female protagonist of the event, only to see her laughing uncontrollably while covering her stomach, thoroughly lacking any ladylike image, her laughter growing louder.
It seed they had just witnessed a hilarious cody that was utterly unavoidable to laugh at.
People looked at each other in bewildered silence, had this poor girl been scared silly?
But at this mont, no one dared to speak, the quiet hall was only filled with Catherine's laughter, she laughed until she was weak in the knees and had to lean on Angelina to stand.
Still laughing after who knows how long, Catherine wiped the tears of laughter from the corners of her eyes and looked at Shen Mochen, "Do you know what day today is?"
"I know..." Shen Mochen nodded.
"Then why are you here?" Catherine said coldly.
Shen Mochen, seeing her cold deanor, was a bit annoyed and walked up to her, "I'm here to stop you from marrying soone else, is that not allowed?"
Catherine raised an eyebrow and scoffed, "Oh, you're here to stop from marrying. Then, who are you to , do you even have the right to stop ?"
Well played, just like that! The boys' hearts soared with joy, our brave Catherine would never succumb to the villain's tyranny!
Shen Mochen stepped forward and wrapped his arms around Catherine's waist, thinking to himself that this stubborn girl really was a proud tsundere, he said helplessly, "I'm your boyfriend, I don't know if that counts as enough qualification."
"So you're my boyfriend? I thought you were soone else!"
Catherine "suddenly realized," and her face imdiately filled with a smile, as gentle as the blooming of spring flowers. Even millennia of frost would lt into gentle spring waters before this smile.
People hadn't recovered from that smile when they saw Catherine lightly wrap her arms around Shen Mochen's back, playfully winking at everyone, "That's right, my boyfriend won't allow to marry soone else, and, it seems he's a bit jealous, so... sorry about that!"
