It was just a small incident. Higan picked the cheapest gift and left with Tang Ling.
On the second floor of the Overlook Sea Pavilion, the handsome Lancaster was tying a complicated bow tie for a white silk shirt. The white and complicated silk shirt matched him very well. It added a tinge of nobility to his mysterious and sickly handsomeness.
Saxon was wearing a knight's formal attire which matched his buff physique. Saxon, who was always lazy to talk, had already bought the expensive formal attire.
He was leaning on a pillar where he could see the ground floor and was waiting for Lancaster impatiently.
"Gone?" Lancaster tied the bow tie and saw Saxon's impatient expression in the mirror, so he asked.
"How did you know?" Saxon was curious because Lancaster could not see the ground floor from where he was.
"Because you are getting impatient again, which means there's nothing to watch." As he spoke, Lancaster took a dark blue velvet formal attire from the attendant and put it on over the white shirt. He then started to tie the complicated buttons on the formal attire.
The formal attire was gorgeous. The pattern on it was made of dazzling Sea Brilliance Crystals, which were only discovered in the Purple Moon era.
If a normal person were to wear the formal attire, they would look like a nouveau riche, but when Lancaster wore it, he looked even more noble as if he was a noble young master that people could not help but feel pity for.
Indeed, he did not have the temperament of a prince. In this world, the only person who could match the temperament of a prince was Tang Long.
Saxon did not conceal his impatience at all. He sized up Lancaster and said, "Are you trying to steal the limelight from your master? Why are you picking and choosing? "
Lancaster smiled faintly. "Didn't the queen downstairs say that clothes are for people? Between clothes and people, clothes serve people. "
"What are you trying to say?" Saxon was not interested in clothes at all.
"Nothing. I just wanted to say that I wanted to pay for whatever the queen chose. Unfortunately, I didn't get the chance. " As he spoke, Lancaster took off the velvet formal attire and picked up another black formal attire with jewels embedded on the collar and sleeves. It was a little more low-key. He said to the attendant, "Please wrap this shirt and this black formal attire up for me."
"It's a pity. The Sea Brilliance Crystal formal attire really suits you. When you wear it, it will be as dazzling as the lady who just left. She left too quickly. I just received a message from my boss, and he wants to give her the formal attire for free.
As for you, I think my boss is willing to give you a decent discount. " The attendant who had been serving Lancaster said anxiously. Her face was also a little flushed.
The young man in front of her was too handsome and charming. Looking at him, it seemed that he had already transcended the category of gender. There was only the word 'good-looking' left.
In the face of the waiter's enthusiasm, Lancaster maintained a polite smile. "Thank you for your boss's kindness. Overall, I prefer the black one."
"Hehe." Saxon let out a slightly mocking laugh.
The two didn't want to be high-profile, so they left through the secret VIP passage of the Chaohai Pavilion.
It wasn't until they walked back to the street that Saxon whispered, "Lancaster, as proud as you are, you are afraid of stealing the limelight of the banquet host."
"You can't steal it. The banquet host is sitting on an ocean. Who can come up with a more noble formal attire than him? "Lancaster's face was full of mockery.
"Excuses. After all, it's the three major families." Saxon shrugged. His brain wasn't very good, but Lancaster's was very good.
From all kinds of abnormalities, Lancaster had already analyzed that this time the Poseidon family wanted to participate in the voyage.
This sounded very unreasonable. Did the Poseidon family need to deliberately participate? But Saxon was willing to believe Lancaster.
"It's not an excuse. Since the protagonist is not destined to be us, why should we be high-profile? "Lancaster's green eyes became a little deeper.
"You mean today's protagonist will be the banquet host and Liszt?" Saxon asked.
After all, in terms of identity, the two of them were undoubtedly the protagonists.
Lancaster also analyzed the situation. The banquet host was most likely an important descendant of the Poseidon family and wanted to make an entrance in this way.
Wasn't Liszt's way to gain attention?
"No, Tang Ling will be the protagonist." Lancaster shook his head. His green eyes were like a deep green pond under the sunlight.
"Why?" Saxon was confused.
"There's no why because I'm not sure about many things. What's troubling me is, what choice should we make in the future? We'll face it eventually. " At this point, Lancaster seemed a little tired, and impatience finally appeared on his face.
Every time this happened, Saxon would shut his mouth tactfully because he knew that whenever Lancaster revealed such an expression, he must be thinking about something important. Even if you asked him again, he wouldn't answer you.
But who cares! Lancaster already said that they would not be the protagonists of the banquet, so he might as well watch the show.
As for the choice, wouldn't it be better to follow Lancaster's lead?
Saxon did not even think about how dangerous the so-called choice would be. After all, most of the nobles' fleets followed Lancaster's ship.

Island of Ocean Tear, 5 pm, Coral Palace.
The banquet hosted by the mysterious owner of the Island of Ocean Tear had officially begun.
As a matter of fact, since 4: 30 pm, the Coral Palace's main door, which had been shut all year round, had been opened. Joyous music was played to welcome the young nobles who had received the invitation.
One had to admit that the Poseidon family was very wealthy.
From the moment they entered the Coral Palace, the splendor of the place shocked even the young nobles.
The floor was made of precious marine fossils, and the decorations were all top-grade red corals. One should know that even in the Purple Moon era, red corals were still very precious. After all, things that were accumulated over time would not become cheap just because of the changes in the era.
Other than that, all kinds of precious metals, gems, relics, and paintings from the old civilization could be seen everywhere. Even a set of normal-looking furniture was the so-called luxury furniture from the old civilization. One should know how difficult it was to preserve such a set of furniture after the Purple Moon turmoil.
After a while, everyone was numb to the sight. In terms of resources and wealth, how could the land compare to the sea? However, from the old civilization until now, humans had never truly conquered the sea. The Poseidon family was not the conqueror either, but they were the closest to the sea in this era.
Therefore, it was only natural for them to possess such wealth.
However, the slightly smarter young nobles would wonder how the Poseidon family managed to protect their wealth. Was it because they had a good relationship with the sea?
No, it was not a reason at all! Behind the riches, it was actually strength! In the Purple Moon era, there were no strong laws to protect wealth. In this era, people believed in the law of the jungle.
With that thought in mind, many of the young nobles became even more respectful.
After going through layers of rooms, the banquet was held in the biggest open space of the Coral Palace. It was a huge garden plaza.
Long dining tables with white silk draped over them were placed in the plaza. On the tables were all kinds of delicacies and rich drinks.
Of course, since the wealthy Poseidon family prepared a banquet, they would not serve any common food. The meat of mutated beasts was at least Level 5 and above. There were even quite a number of Level 3 vicious beast meat.
On top of that, the side dishes were all mutated plants and fruits from Level 1 vicious plants.
Even the desserts were made from expensive ingredients.
All kinds of alcohol and drinks were of the highest quality as well.
The extravagance stunned the young nobles who came from humble backgrounds. It was not easy for them to even get a piece of Level 1 vicious beast meat.
In this era, the appearance, smell, and taste of food were not as important as its energy. The decorations made many of the young nobles swallow their saliva.
However, in view of such an atmosphere, in order to maintain basic poise, everyone was very reserved. They just gathered in the garden square, raised their cups, and chatted in groups of twos and threes under the cheerful music. Even the cups were just decorations, and they only took a sip occasionally.
At least, that was what the young nobles did.

Standing at the highest point of the Coral Palace, in his room.
Omir looked down at the entire banquet hall with a disdainful smile.
So what if some of these country bumpkins were nobles from the mainland? This banquet, which was nothing to him, was enough to make them worship him?
Actually, no one could be sure of another person's inner thoughts. However, that was what Omir believed.
"Young master, your attire is ready." At this moment, the butler of the Coral Palace respectfully entered Omir's room in accordance with etiquette.
"Which one is it?" Omir did not turn around. He stared at the banquet hall, feeling the pride of being superior. Besides that, none of the people he was looking forward to appeared.
"I've prepared a total of five sets of gifts. Some of them are your favorites and some of the most expensive ones in the Coral Palace's storeroom." The butler bowed and spoke carefully.
Omir turned around and glanced over the attire on the plate. He thought about the one he gave to Higan and pointed at one of them. "This one then."
The butler nodded and left the attire on the table. He then called two beautiful maids over to help Omir change.
The smile on Omir's face widened. He did it on purpose. As a matter of fact, the dress he gave to Higan was indeed precious, but more importantly, it was a matching set with both men's and women's dresses.
Whenever Omir thought about the scene, he was amused and delighted. He would get the woman he fancied by any means necessary, but before that, he was able to embarrass Tang Ling and strike his pride a little. It was also a delightful thing to do.
