The Gould Manor was brightly lit, and a banquet was going on. The nobles in glamorous gowns were chatting and laughing with crystal glasses.
The head of the Gould Family, Mr. Charney, had invited everyone to attend the three-year promise between him and his son.
Of course, everyone close to Charney knew that he was planning to use this opportunity to formally introduce his successor to everyone.
Everyone knew that the young master of the Gould Family didn't like to do business, but liked to be a knight. Charney had been very anxious all these years.
However, the three-year promise was up tonight, and that young master who was once praised for his extraordinary talent didn't manage to become a mid-tier knight. According to the promise, he had to give up his dream of being a knight and become the successor of the Gould Family.
As one of the four biggest families in Chaos City, the Gould Family had quite a bit of influence in Chaos City. The treatment of being the only son made the other nobles who were fighting for the right of inheritance very envious.
However, this Young Master Adams was stubborn and only wanted to be a knight. He had already become a joke among the second-generation nobles.
"That Young Master Adams must be feeling terrible today, right? He's going to be forced to inherit billions of assets. "
"Ha. Although he says he doesn't want it, he's probably overjoyed in his heart. How can there be a fool who doesn't like money in this world?"
"Isn't that so. I heard many families want to send their young mistresses to the Gould Manor. He should be very happy too."
A few young nobles gathered together and chatted merrily. Their tone was full of disdain and mockery, but their expressions were filled with envy and jealousy.
Charney was very happy today. He welcomed the guests with a smile, and even his bald head seemed to be much brighter.
His wife stood beside him and welcomed the guests with a smile too. When there was no one around, she tugged at Charney's sleeve, and softly said, "Master, will Adams be unhappy? You've created such a big scene. Will he feel embarrassed and not want to come? "
"Don't worry. Honesty is part of the chivalry that he loves the most. He will definitely come. This is a promise between men." Charney shook his head without worry. After that, he took two steps forward with a smile, and shook hands with Hill, who had just arrived. He smiled, and said, "Miss Hill, thank you for coming."
"You're welcome. This interesting duel is really worth witnessing," Hill said with a smile as she retracted her hand.
"The city lord has arrived!" A voice was heard. Everyone quietened down instantly. They all looked towards the door in shock that Charney had invited the city lord.
"City Lord, thank you for taking the time to come despite your busy schedule." Charney and his wife hurriedly went forward, and spoke respectfully with smiles on their faces.
Today, he had put in a lot of effort to help Adams. However, as the successor of the Gould Family, he deserved such a scene.
"Charney, I'm not here for you today. I'm here for that young knight who is vexed about inheriting his family fortune or becoming an outstanding knight. Personally, I'm very supportive of him becoming an outstanding knight and protecting Chaos City," Michael said with a forthright smile.
Charney was slightly taken aback, but he quickly smiled, and said, "You are his idol. If he heard you say that, he would probably be overjoyed."
The guests arrived one after another. A man who was closer to Charney smiled, and said, "Charney, where is our Knight Adams? He's the main character today. "
"Don't worry. He will come. He should be on his way now," Charney replied with a smile. Charney replied with a smile as he shot a look at the old butler who was standing at the side. The butler understood what he meant and turned to leave quickly.
Everyone toasted and chatted with one another. There weren't many banquets like this where half of Chaos City's nobles were gathered. Many people were here to make more friends and establish deeper relationships with the nobles. That was the objective of many of them.
As for witnessing the young master of the Gould Family become the heir, it was just a formality. The news about him was not a secret. He had not made any progress in the past three years, so it was basically determined that he would never be able to become a mid-tier knight.
Of course, as the heir of a family, he did not need to be very powerful. Hence, he would still become one of the nobles in Chaos City after he took control of the Gould Family completely.
His efforts to become a knight were nothing but a joke in the eyes of most people.
"Charney, you can retire with peace of mind now," a middle-aged man said with a smile as he clinked glasses with Charney.
"I still have a long way to go before I can let him familiarize himself with the business and know how to manage a family business." Charney shook his head. The smile on his face betrayed his feelings.
The entire banquet was joyous and harmonious. Everyone was waiting for the arrival of Adams. The joke of the three-year agreement could finally come to an end.
…
"Young —" The old butler was just about to knock on the door when it opened from the inside. Adams, who was wearing gold and silver armor, walked out with a huge sword hanging on his waist.
He was not wearing any armor, and his hair was very short. He looked almost bald. However, if one looked closely, they could see that his short hair was like the grass that had just sprouted in spring, trying to grow.
"Let's go," Adams said calmly as he glanced at the old butler.
"Young … Young Master, it's not very appropriate for you to dress like this. I have already prepared a suit for you. Why don't you go back and change into it?" The butler said hesitantly. He felt that the young master looked a little different today, but he couldn't tell what was different.
"It's okay. I'm not going to attend the banquet today. I'm just fulfilling the three-year promise." Adams took the lead and walked forward.
"Young Master, it's not very appropriate …" The old butler hurriedly followed behind. He finally understood why Adams looked a little different. He wasn't wearing a wig today.
"Moreover! Young Master's hair actually grew out again! " The old butler followed behind Adams, and his heart trembled as he looked at the short hair on his shiny head.
As an old man who had stayed in the Gould Manor for his entire life, he had witnessed Old Master Gould's bald life. He had also witnessed Patriarch Charney's journey from a bald youth to a bald middle-aged man. He had also witnessed Young Master Adams going bald at an early age.
Being bald was like a curse that was tightly attached to the Gould Family.
But now!
Adams' hair actually grew out again!
Wasn't this too unbelievable?!
"Father, I'm here."
Adams stepped into the banquet hall and shouted loudly.
