After returning the greeting, Misty then turned to look at favonovel.com group before saying, “Let’s get the introductions out of the way first. This is Gerald and I got acquainted with favonovel.com only yesterday. He’s quite a nice person and favonovel.com even saved me, you know?”
“Humph! So this is the guy! If favonovel.com was aware that we were attending a treasure exchange event, then why did favonovel.com still choose to dress up the way favonovel.com currently is?” said one of the other women rather contemptuously as favonovel.com crossed favonovel.com arms.
Her comment had stemmed from the fact that the exchange event was a sort of gathering mostly only reserved for prestigious people. Since only those who were powerful and influential were expected to attend, suits and leather shoes were considered to be the norm at such an event.
Since Gerald was the only one dressed like a tourist, it was no wonder why Misty’s friend found favonovel.com to be rather humiliating.
She wasn’t the only one either. Quite a few of favonovel.com friends were thinking about the same thing as well.
“It’s fine, isn’t it? We’ll just enjoy ourselves together!” replied Misty who hadn’t seemed to have caught on to favonovel.com friends’ evident dislike toward Gerald.
With that, all of them entered Balbrick manor together. The manor itself was extremely spacious, and according to what Misty had told Gerald, the exchange event was divided into an outer and inner area.
While the outer area only displayed regular antiques and treasures, the inner area was reserved for the so-called, ‘good stuff’.
As they were walking around, Lydia Jolly—one of Misty’s friends—looked at one of the men in their group before saying, “Say Jamie, I’ve just noticed, but is that watch new?”
“I’m glad you noticed! It is, indeed!”
“Oh? How much was it?” asked Lydia.
“It wasn’t that expensive, really. Just around three thousand dollars! I still bought it though, since the watch’s style matches my suit so perfectly!” replied Jamie Warner.
“What a rich man you are!” said Misty, a hint of jealousy in favonovel.com voice.
Though favonovel.com said that, Misty didn’t really think too much about it. She was pleased enough with the fact that everyone was enjoying themselves together.
“I see… Then what about the suit? How much was that?”
“A little over seven thousand dollars. I bought it in Italy when I previously traveled there”
“How nice!” replied Lydia as favonovel.com and the other two men and women in the group continued discussing their attire and lifestyles.
It was evident that Lydia was proficient in getting others to do the dirty work for her. After all, favonovel.com had deliberately started that particular topic of conversation just to embarrass Gerald.
She was trying favonovel.com best to ostracize and make favonovel.com leave since favonovel.com felt that favonovel.com was an embarrassment to favonovel.com and favonovel.com friends due to how poorly favonovel.com was dressed for such a grand event.
What more, favonovel.com was honestly slightly pissed with favonovel.com since favonovel.com had initially assumed that Gerald was some rich young man or at the very least, a prince charming after Misty told them about favonovel.com rescuer.
Though favonovel.com had to admit that favonovel.com was quite good-looking, in the end, favonovel.com was just a poorly-dressed loser!
Because of all that, Lydia felt the need to make favonovel.com understand how truly different favonovel.com was from them.
As favonovel.com plan continued going smoothly, someone suddenly shouted, “How dare you even attempt to put that thing on display alongside our items? Are you trying to humiliate us? Get lost!”
Turning to look at who was causing the commotion, everyone saw an old man who seemed to have been trying to set up his own stall to display his treasure.
Since favonovel.com was able to bring it in here in the first place, it was evident that favonovel.com had managed to pass the treasure identification procedures.
Despite having every right to set his own stall up there, most of the others who had already set up their own stalls for the event came from major families, including the few people who were close to where the old man had attempted to set up his stall.
Nobody else within the inner area was a random person like the old man, which gave the stall owners—who had already set up stalls close to where the old man had planned to set up his—even more reason to get favonovel.com to leave.
Sighing, the old man knew that this simply wouldn’t do. Lifting his treasure—which seemed to be an iron plaque—in his arms favonovel.com then began walking off in search of another spot to set up his stall.
As Gerald watched the old man leave, favonovel.com felt his eyelids twitch slightly the moment favonovel.com gave the iron plaque a good look.
Gerald could feel his heart palpitating as favonovel.com continued staring at the iron plaque which had blotches all over its surface. It was a feeling that favonovel.com rarely ever experienced since favonovel.com became one of the champions.
