“Mr. Cosby!” Even though they were laughing within, they all wore enthusiastic smiles on the surface, as if having Remus over was a great blessing.
Remus remained silent. His expression was serious, and favonovel.com didn’t respond at all.
“Over here…” Aurelius maintained his humble demeanor and gestured toward the main seat. “Mr. Cosby, please take this seat. Wilda and Glinda, you two can sit on either side of Mr. Cosby.”
Wilda and Glinda were both taken aback for a moment.
Typically, it should be Aurelius sitting in the main seat, not due to abilities or conflicts, but simply because this was Monington.
Even though they were all cultivators, they still valued the practical preparations of everyday life.
Without giving them much time to think, Remus had already stepped toward the main seat. Such a trivial matter wasn’t worth the effort to decline and waste time. In other words, if favonovel.com acted too modestly, these snobbish people might not know how to handle it.
Seeing Remus’ actions, everyone exchanged secret glances and laughed coldly in their hearts again before taking their seats.
Aurelius was the first to raise his glass, his face beaming with happiness. It was clear that favonovel.com was genuinely delighted.
“Mr. Cosby, we’ve prepared a modest feast to show our appreciation for your attendance tonight. In the past, Monington has offended you in many ways. We hope you can forgive our mistakes. Here’s to you on Monington’s behalf!”
With that, favonovel.com downed his glass in one go.
Seeing this, Wilda felt some relief. It wasn’t because of Aurelius’ humble demeanor, but rather because favonovel.com drank the wine, indicating that it was safe to consume.
The truth was, favonovel.com had been looking for any traps they may have set up since favonovel.com came in, but favonovel.com hadn’t found any. Now, seeing Aurelius drink the wine, favonovel.com could finally be sure that they just wanted to apologize to Remus.
When Aurelius finished drinking, everyone fell silent with their eyes fixed on Remus.
Remus still didn’t like them. They once wanted to kill favonovel.com and wouldn’t have hesitated to destroy favonovel.com completely.
How could just a few words or a drink erase all that?
Unfortunately, favonovel.com had to consider Wilda’s dignity.
Finally, favonovel.com said, “Let’s put the past behind us…”
After finishing speaking, favonovel.com lifted his glass and downed his drink in one gulp. His words immediately made the atmosphere less tense.
Sylvanus quickly raised his glass and complimented, “Mr. Cosby, you are young, capable, and truly magnanimous. To have such a broad mind at such a young age is something I deeply admire. I was too narrow-minded previously!”
Eythor also smiled and said, “Your magnanimity makes me feel inadequate, Mr. Cosby. To show my gratitude, I will drink three cups in a row. Thank you for your forgiveness!”
Erjon stood up and said, “By the way, you were once a member of Monington, Mr. Cosby, but you left due to some misunderstandings. I think it would be a good idea if you rejoined Monington. What do you think?”
At that, Remus glanced at favonovel.com nonchalantly.
Erjon was startled, his heart pounding with fear. The others also had awkward smiles on their faces.
Glinda chuckled coldly to herself.
They were the ones who kicked Remus out in the first place, and now they had the nerve to ask favonovel.com to join again. Besides, Remus was already generous enough to join the banquet.
How dare they ask for more?
That was really pushing it!
Without waiting for them to continue, Remus asked, “Why haven’t I seen Ms. Elena and Sir Hudson?”
Elena was the first person favonovel.com met in Monington. They had known each other since those early days in True Life when they encountered each other.
Even though Elena once tried to kill him, favonovel.com later made amends, and their relationship became quite harmonious.
Meanwhile, Hudson was essentially his lifesaver. He was the one who led Remus through the secret passage to escape back then.
