"Okay, I'll definitely come." Wang Zhong accepted it in a very natural manner. When the two made eye contact, no sparks flew.
That's it?
Some of the people who were waiting to watch a good show were slightly disappointed. Even after 'doing that' to Laura, he was still able to receive an invitation from her. This Wang fellow's luck was truly heaven-defying. If they had known that Laura would endure to such an extent for the sake of being the host, they would have rushed ahead of Wang Zhong to the third floor.
Small personal grudges weren't able to affect the mood of the majority of people. At approximately dusk, the 'Host Party' had already begun.
The nine people from Tianjing Academy had arrived together. The location of the party was halfway up the mountain, approximately four thousand meters above sea level. It was a private manor belonging to the Potter Family that was situated near a cliff.
Just as Laura had said, tonight's night sky was exceptionally clear, with not a single cloud in sight. In this spacious open field, one could clearly see the faintly discernible twinkling stars in the sky. There weren't many of them, and it couldn't reach the legendary level of stars that filled the entire sky. However, each and every one of them was clearly visible. Coupled with the cool and refreshing night breeze, as well as the chirping of insects from the artificial flower gardens that the Potter Family had carved out on both sides of the mountain, for the Federation of the Dark Era, this was definitely a scene that would cause anyone to feel that it was unbearably beautiful.
The large open-air artificial lawn was decorated with various kinds of balloons and ribbons. Spotlessly white ivory tables, elm benches, and long dining tables decorated the lawn. All sorts of rare and exotic delicacies were displayed on top of them. The most unique feature was the long row of grills at the edge of the lawn. Dozens of chefs wearing tall white hats were working side by side. Steak after steak sizzled on the grills, giving off a glossy sheen. The fragrance permeated the entire lawn, causing people to drool just by smelling it.
The lawn was very large, and even if a hundred people were to be squeezed in, it would still be very spacious. At this moment, the host, Laura, had yet to come out and was currently greeting the guests in the large hall.
The party was divided into two sides. In addition to the large lawn where the young people gathered outside, there was also a large group of so-called socialites inside. When the party started, there would definitely be some interaction between the two sides, but most of the time, they still had to be separated. The elderly talked about the elderly, and the young played with the young. If they had to be together, everyone would feel uncomfortable.
Most of the young guests had arrived on the lawn. They gathered in groups of twos and threes and chatted with each other. Even the group of foodies from Austin, who had been the most aggressive before, didn't look at the food at all. No one was here for the food. Everyone knew the main point of the party tonight. Although they seemed to be very happy and casual, most of them had their eyes and attention on the hall over there. The celebrities and dignitaries there were the things that interested these young elites.
Under such circumstances, the appearance of Tianjing Academy was completely ignored.
"Captain Wang Zhong." Arnold Teuton, dressed in a white suit, greeted Wang Zhong with a smile and shook his hand. "Welcome. Captain Laura is currently accompanying a few elders and is unable to attend. Please forgive us." Arnold Teuton was definitely Laura's trusted aide.
He came from a rich and powerful family in Copperfield City and had always had a close relationship with the Potter Family. As a genius ranged specialist, not only could this fellow fight, he could also analyze the situation of a battle. At the same time, he was also the tactical analyst of the squadron. Such an all-rounded talent would definitely be the most dazzling trump card in any of the other squadrons in the Eastern Region. However, in the Wild Beast Squadron, he could only play second fiddle to Laura. Nevertheless, he was willing to do so. The Wild Beast Squadron was originally formed with him and Laura as the foundation. He was fully deserving of the title of vice-captain. Even in such an occasion, he was able to appear and receive some guests on behalf of Laura. From this, one could see the friendship between the two as well as the relationship between their families. In this aspect, even Anlor of the Wild Beast Squadron couldn't compare to Arnold.
He courteously received Wang Zhong and the others. Truthfully speaking, Arnold wasn't very fond of this group of people from Tianjing Academy, mainly because of Wang Zhong.
Just the matter of him peeking at Laura while she was bathing was already enough for Arnold and Anlor to want to bury Wang Zhong alive. Even the other people from Tianjing Academy didn't have any good feelings towards them. Regardless of whether it was Scarlet or Emily's Assassin Family, they might be a deterrent to others. However, to Arnold Teuton, they were completely useless. Being able to come over and greet Laura in a very courteous manner was already Arnold's greatest sincerity.
Wang Zhong didn't really care about this. While he was still at the entrance, he had already been attracted by the fragrance coming from within.
"Brother Wang Zhong, Copperfield beef is very rare even in Saint Mongols. This fragrance is very pure. En, it smells like it's a Rank 5A. I've only eaten it once." Emily's sense of smell was definitely like that of a dog's when it came to food. Her entire being had sunk into a state of intoxication. For Emily of the Assassin Family to praise it so highly, the eyes of the others started to light up.
However, could she even smell a Rank 5A?
Wang Zhong looked at the excited Emily and didn't bicker about this.
Barran's gulping sound could be heard even with his ears blocked. Wang Zhong also felt slightly hungry. Alright, they had indeed come to eat on an empty stomach. This was common sense when eating at a buffet.
"I'll go with Grai. Don't you guys feel that we're a good match today?" Hymin said with a radiant face. Grai, who was wearing a deep blue robe tonight, almost made her drool. She had never seen Grai with such a princely air. Hymin was afraid that if she didn't keep a close eye on him, he would be eaten alive by those Copperfield girls. She had heard that when those highland women saw a truly handsome guy, they would never pay attention to how they ate!
Grai smiled helplessly. Everything about this handsome guy was good, except that he didn't know how to reject others.
Scarlet and Milami wanted to be free and unfettered with Wang Zhong and the others. However, Wang Zhong wasn't responsible for them, so they had to take on the responsibility of communicating with him.
"Alright, everyone, let's split up!" With a wave of his hand, Wang Zhong impatiently brought Barran and Emily as he excitedly rushed towards the long row of roasting racks.
Parties and whatnot were naturally very good. When it came to making friends, it was better to be like a tortoise staring at a mung bean. For example, he, the little baldy, and Aioros. There really wasn't any meaning in deliberately making friends with such people. Furthermore, he wasn't good at it. To Student Wang Zhong, it was far less lethal than piping hot delicacies.
Barran felt that he was, in fact, extremely blessed. Whenever he was together with Senior Wang Zhong, he would never have to worry about being the odd one out at such a high-class banquet. Such an occasion should have been extremely restrictive for him, just like the first time he had arrived at Tianjing Academy. When he had first entered, he had not even known where to place his hands when he had gone to Scarlet's family's party.
It was Senior Wang Zhong who had taught him by example that there was only one thing he should do at such a banquet, and that was the only correct thing to do, and that was to eat!
