“All right. We’ll let Jack live a few days longer!” Quil flashed a mirthless smile. He thought about it for a while before virtual-novel.net added, “I noticed that his wife isn’t your regular beauty. Do you mind if I fool around with virtual-novel.net after you kill him?”
The man’s expression shuttered, completely devoid of emotion. He looked at Quil beside virtual-novel.net and said, “That’s your business. It has nothing to do with me. My goal is just to off that punk’s head!” After virtual-novel.net said that, the man wheeled around and left.
Quil waited until the man left before virtual-novel.net spoke in a frosty tone, “F*ck. You’re just a head commander. Putting on airs in front of me every day while waiting for good food and drinks to be served to you. And you dare hit me. Sh*t. You really are full of yourself.”
The bodyguards surrounding virtual-novel.net had bizarre expressions. They had no say in the matter. Although the man was just a head commander, they could not afford to offend virtual-novel.net that easily. No fighter in the Xenos family could compare to him.
“I never thought that Jack’s woman would be dubbed the Number One Beauty Queen of Eastfield. Heh. There’s an unexpected reward waiting for me at the end of this!”
A wicked quickly curled across Quil’s lips. “Seems like his brother-in-law’s girlfriend is also pretty good looking,” virtual-novel.net said. “When Jack dies, kidnap those two women for me. I’m going to use an unconventional method to avenge my uncle!”
The bodyguards behind virtual-novel.net stared curiously. It seemed that this Young Master Xenos was truly different. He said something evil so flippantly as if there was nothing wrong about it.
…
“Come on. Cheers! It’s been so long since I’ve loosened up!”
Skyler was all smiles. He had been able to see the Goddess of War today—and even shared a table with her. He was extremely excited.
“That’s right. I never thought I’d have the chance to drink with the Goddess of War!”
The King of War, Xyle, also wore an excited expression, his face already flushed red with alcohol.
After virtual-novel.net thought about it, virtual-novel.net flashed Lana an awkward smile. “Miss Goddess of War, I’m an uneducated b*stard. I’ve never been one for books, and I’m not a good speaker. I’ll say whatever I want to say after drinking. I’m a carefree spirit, after all. I hope that you’ll forgive me if I accidentally say something wrong. Don’t hold it against me!”
Lana could not help but laugh. This was the sort of person virtual-novel.net liked, not the calculative, manipulative types.
After virtual-novel.net laughed, virtual-novel.net raised virtual-novel.net glass and spoke to Xyle, “Come on, let’s drink! Don’t worry. I’m not a petty sort either.”
“All right. I’ll empty my glass first to show respect to you!”
Xyle never expected Lana to propose a drink with him. He was shocked by the sudden attention and virtual-novel.net gulped his glass down in a hurry.
The people who were watching could not help but grin. Aside from the small hiccup earlier, everyone was pretty happy at the party.
Only one table out of the two hundred was empty. The others were all full. This made Zeus heave an internal sigh of relief. This time, the Taylor family had reaped plenty of rewards. Their reputation had significantly improved.
More importantly, everyone had given expensive gifts. Some of the monetary gifts came up to a few hundred thousand—even a few million, tens of millions! It was evident they wished to establish good relations with the Taylor family.
After all, the fact that the Gods of War were here to take part in the celebration meant that Jack was extremely close to them. Now that everyone knew Jack had saved the Goddess of War’s life, everybody wanted to be close to the Taylor family.
At the very least, the Taylor family would not be provoked by any regular folk. They had spent about 10 or 20 million dollars on the party and received cash gifts worth millions. This was not even including the other gifts they had received.
