On Friday afternoon, Li Mochen reported to the competition committee at the Storm Stadium and left.
This time, his classmates and coaches were very calm, mainly because the media had already reported that his opponent in the sixth round had been bitten by his own dog. It was said that the dog was seriously injured.
Although many people couldn't understand why a docile golden retriever would suddenly attack someone, in short, Li Mochen had already entered the top 32.
Ironically, this was the best result Linden Academy had achieved in the past 40 years.
However, there was no joy on their faces. Instead, they all looked pale.
According to William, the main reason why these people were so upset was that they had lost money.
Two weeks ago, Penguin and other large gambling companies had taken advantage of the popularity of Li Mochen and set up a bet for him. At that time, many people in the club had placed their bets on him, but they had all lost money.
In fact, the betting company did not offer high odds for Li Mochen. The odds for Li Mochen to lose in the sixth round were only 1.62. However, many people in the club thought that this was a sure win, and they could earn some pocket money for them.
William was not spared. He did not have much money, so he only lost 300 gold duns. But because he was a poor man, the 300 gold duns were extra painful for him.
After leaving the Storm Stadium, Li Mochen did not rush to the Dark World. Instead, he drove to Market Street with Qitai and spent 12,000 gold duns in a Magellan clothing store. He bought the best suit there and spent another 20,000 gold duns on watches and leather shoes.
Li Mochen did not care about branded clothes. Even if he only wore sackcloth and straw sandals, he could still live comfortably. However, he knew that tonight was the first cocktail party that Angela was hosting in Atlanta. With Angela's family background, this must be a gathering place for the rich and famous in Atlanta.
On such an occasion, Li Mochen could not care less about what others thought of him, but he could not ignore the feelings of the host, Angela. Moreover, he planned to expand his network during this banquet.
Nathan Sports Group had already promised to protect his company and guarantee that within a year, Xuri Company would not encounter any interference from the government. After his stores were opened, Nathan Sports Group would exert pressure on the major police stations to ensure that the Atlanta police would not neglect the safety of the Xuri Company's stores.
However, the guarantee from Nathan Sports Group was only for one year. Li Mochen had to prepare for a rainy day and do some business in advance.
Some of the people he got to know tonight might be able to protect the Xuri Company in the future.
At seven o'clock in the evening, Li Mochen arrived at the thirty-fifth floor of the Unicorn Apartment on time.
Just as Angela had said, it only took about ten days for the renovation to be completed. Overall, it was a modern minimalist style that young people liked, luxurious yet low-key.
What was amazing was that there were two floors of living room, more than a thousand square meters of space, which could accommodate hundreds of people.
Guests had already gathered here. Although the guests were mostly young people, there were also some celebrities and dignitaries in Atlanta.
The level of the banquet was also higher than Li Mochen had imagined. He even saw a few state senators in the crowd. He had seen news about these people before, so he had a deep impression of them.
However, these few people stayed in the corner of the living room to talk, forming a small circle that others could not join.
"Miss originally said that she would personally receive you, but we did not expect that Senator Claire would personally come. Miss is talking to her."
Li Mochen was introduced to the door by Lena Edrick. The young maid explained to Li Mochen in a lukewarm tone, "Miss's father is one of the biggest sponsors of the Civic Party and the Conservative Party, but he does not have any decent business partners in Atlanta. Therefore, most of our guests this time are politicians. "
Then she turned her head and looked at Li Mochen with an inquiring gaze, "Do you need me to introduce you to some friends?"
Li Mochen shook his head. He had long noticed that although this person's attitude was very good, and she did not look down on him, the girl was full of vigilance and rejection towards him. She was like a hedgehog, on guard against something.
After leaving Lena, Li Mochen mingled quite well in the banquet. He was not exactly like a fish in water, but he could still squeeze into a few circles to talk.
It was mainly because he had become famous recently, and many people knew him. No one would refuse to know such a lucky guy like André. There were even people who took the initiative to chat with him.
Most of these people were young disciples of famous sects. Even though they were still students, they all had extraordinary backgrounds and powerful backgrounds.
However, the person that Li Mochen really tried to make friends with was an inspector from the North District Police Department. It could be seen that this person was out of place in this banquet.
In the eyes of ordinary people, an inspector was already an unreachable big shot. However, in Angela's banquet, he was not worthy of the real bigwigs' attention. The young people here would not talk to an old man like him.
Although this police officer named Khedira wanted to join in, he was not good with words.
Li Mochen could see this person's predicament, so he kept talking to him.
This Khedira should be someone who had climbed up from the bottom, and did not have a very strong background. However, people like him were often very capable, and had a wide range of influence at the grassroots level.
In fact, this Randall Khedira was indeed a strong person who had reached Level-15 in the magical profession.
Moreover, as the saying went, the county magistrate was not as good as the person in charge. Six of the shops that he planned to open here would be under the jurisdiction of the North District Police Department. Therefore, this inspector general was worth befriending.
However, just as the two of them were gossiping about the recent battle in Longwei, a chuckle suddenly came from behind Li Mochen. "Hey, isn't this my good friend André? Andre Lee Wildenstein. "
Before Li Mochen could react, his body began to tense up due to the subconscious reaction of the original Li Mochen. He frowned and looked behind him. Then, he found a young man who was about the same age as him looking at him with a smile.
"It's you, Bruno Ivison. Sorry, I'm talking to this gentleman. "
The original Li Mochen was very disgusted with this person's reaction, but Li Mochen did not want to show this in front of others, so he only expressed the appropriate coldness.
"Wow, look at that cold tone. You don't think of me as a friend, do you? André? But Penny and I both miss you very much. "
The young man named Ivison's smile was full of malice. "I guess it must have been hard for you, André, to move out of Oak Street. You've transferred to Linden College, haven't you? A place full of black people and immigrants. "
"Not bad."
Li Mochen replied calmly, "I don't know how you guessed it, but it must be better than you think."
