"Emily?" With a single glance, Wang Zhong saw Emily standing alone under the moonlight. She was like a crane amongst chickens. "How cute!"
"Really!" Emily's fierce expression instantly turned into that of a little loli. "Do you like it?"
Wang Zhong smiled and rubbed Emily's head. "I like whatever you wear."
Emily felt helpless. She wanted to push Wang Zhong's hand away and tell him that she had already grown up, but she also enjoyed the warmth of Wang Zhong's hand. It was so comfortable and warm. Furthermore … Wang Zhong was so, so, so, so handsome in his black suit!
Ma Dong panted as he jogged over. "Wang Zhong! Wang Zhong! Are you doing this on purpose? You ran so fast and didn't wait for me. Huhuhuhu! "
"If you want to chase a girl, do it yourself. Don't count on me, thank you!" Wang Zhong said.
Upon seeing the beauty, Ma Dong instantly treated Wang Zhong as air. He didn't immediately recognize her under the shade of the tree outside the mansion and with Wang Zhong blocking his view. The main reason was that her attire was too different from his impression of his cousin. He couldn't make the connection at all.
Ma Dong was a little excited. "Beauty, I'm Ma Dong, the president of this fellow. What's your name? Let's get to know each other!"
"Ma Dong, you've finally revealed your true colors!"
The sudden appearance of Emily's voice gave Ma Dong quite a scare, causing his excited face to instantly wilt.
"Cough cough. My dear cousin, I'm just joking with you. Let's not stand outside. It's almost time. Come, big brother will bring you in." Ma Dong bent his left arm. What a blunder. He only wanted to chase after girls and forgot to bring a female companion. What a loss. His cousin was the best. She could add points and wouldn't hinder him from chasing after girls.
Emily ignored Ma Dong as she gently held onto Wang Zhong's arm. In a soft voice, she said, "Brother Wang Zhong, the banquet is about to start. We can't be late."
Embarrassed, Ma Dong widened his eyes. "Little brat, where are you holding? Hey hey hey, are you kidding me? I'm your big brother! You actually dared to steal my man … "
"Scram!" Wang Zhong and Emily simultaneously raised their middle fingers at him.
The banquet warmed up in a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere.
The banquet was filled with ribbons and balloons. Gentle music played and the aroma of various delicacies filled the air.
Everyone was casually chatting and chatting. Most of them were talking about things related to the Federation's competition. In fact, the theme of this banquet was the 'Federation Tournament'. Although it was not explicitly stated, everyone who came to the banquet was very clear about it.
"I'm afraid the main force this year is still Black Rose and Holy Judgement. Our school's Special Ability Society is a bit lousy."
"Mhm, I feel that picking the Forest Wolves isn't a bad idea. There are a few outstanding candidates. This time, Teacher Grace's arrival should be able to bring our academy to the next level."
"The Special Abilities Society isn't as bad as you think. Moreover, the team needs to be balanced, and ability users are indispensable."
"Isn't there Emily this year? She's a fire ability user from the Assassin Clan. She's very promising."
"He's just a newbie. Fame can't be used to make a living."
Black Rose, Holy Judgement, and the Superpower Society. These three great societies formed the main force of the heroic soul academy. As for the Rune Society, they specialized in logistics and research. Although they had a great reputation, they weren't of much use in the tournament.
This year's Federation Tournament was a gathering of elites. Relying solely on individual strength would definitely not allow one to go far. What was more important was teamwork and the depth of the lineup. The reason why Grace had distributed the recommendation list was to allow them to recommend a list of five main force members and five substitutes.
Everyone discussed fervently. The buzzing of heated discussions was accompanied by light music in the hall, making everyone feel relaxed and engrossed in the atmosphere. Who was chosen was a matter for the higher ups, while others enjoyed the atmosphere.
Most of the people present were familiar faces from Tianjing Heroic Soul Academy, and there was no lack of those who were usually tall and sturdy. However, each and every one of them had changed into luxurious formal attire. They walked with graceful steps and spoke in soft voices. They looked rather impressive and gave off the aura of the upper class.
This caused Wang Zhong, Ma Dong, and Emily to appear a little out of place in the atmosphere of the banquet. Although they were dressed the same, their personalities and social circles were very different. Especially … with the exception of Ma Dong, Wang Zhong and Emily seemed to have come specifically to eat.
Wang Zhong's guess was correct. There was indeed a lot of delicious food in the banquet. Most importantly, they were all 'high class'.
Heroic Soul Soldiers' energy requirements far exceeded that of ordinary people. Therefore, they were all big eaters and foodies. Ordinary food could no longer satisfy their needs. No matter how much they ate, they couldn't fill their stomachs. Therefore, they needed all sorts of 'high class' food.
"Overlord Prawn!" Wang Zhong's eyes lit up as he held a plate of prawns. This prawn was a mutated species that was very difficult to catch. Not only was it delicious, but it also contained an abundance of energy. It had a certain nourishing effect on a new human's soul sea. It was definitely a luxury item. He had only seen it on television before, but he never expected it to be so satisfying.
Beside him, Emily ate rather casually. She would even help Wang Zhong get some food from time to time. Eating together with Wang Zhong made her happy. As for the food itself, it was just so-so for the young miss of the Assassin Family. Furthermore, Emily was a girl who didn't care too much about material things.
On the other hand, Ma Dong's shifty eyes looked left and right as he searched for his targets for tonight. When he saw Wang Zhong and Emily, he felt resentful that they didn't meet his expectations. These two fellows were too shameful. This was a place for the upper class to socialize, but the two of them had eaten their fill.
"I say … are the two of you the reincarnation of starving ghosts? You even scared away a beauty!" Ma Dong couldn't help but ridicule them. Just as he was about to greet them, a pair of long legs took a detour and walked away.
"Ma Dong Dong, that senior sister was scared off by you, okay? Look at your showy white clothes, how could a girl like you!" Emily didn't give her cousin any face as she ate another mouthful of ice cream. She didn't give her cousin any face at all.
"Ma Dong, this smoked leg is really not bad. What kind of meat is this?" Wang Zhong's mouth was stuffed to the brim as he mumbled, "It looks, smells, and tastes great!"
"That's a four-horned wind bull." Compared to Wang Zhong, Emily was definitely an expert. She picked a small piece and threw it into her mouth. "It's not bad. Brother Wang Zhong, if you go to St. Mongul City, I'll bring you to eat a 5A steak."
"… You two are really hopeless!" Ma Dong shook his head and sighed. "Can we talk about something unrelated to food? If you two continue to be like this, I'll just leave you two to find my own happiness! "
Just as he said this, the surrounding lights dimmed slightly, and the soft music stopped.
The hostess, Scarlet, appeared. She wore a snow-white lace evening gown. Under the multicolored lights, she appeared holy and charming.
