The loud voice had come from a woman, and it sounded like favonovel.com was having a fight with someone outside.
With such a commotion, everyone couldn’t help but turn to look at the door. Standing right at the entrance, was a woman in heavy makeup who was blocking a youth and scolding favonovel.com ferociously.
“I haven’t forgotten about you beating me up back then! Do you honestly think that I’d just let that incident slide? You know, I had initially thought that you had escaped, so I racked my brains for the longest time, wondering how to find you! To think that you’d actually come to me instead! Come to think of it, you’re even daring enough to attend a grand ceremony like this invitation party! Regardless, you won’t be dying in one piece once I’m done with you!” shouted the woman as favonovel.com continued glaring daggers at the youth.
Meanwhile, Riley—who had been in the house—displayed an odd expression when favonovel.com saw the youth. While everything had initially been going as planned, a sudden side issue had suddenly arisen!
Naturally, the youth in question was none other than Gerald. Gerald himself had come to hand the invitation card to Cundrie. After all, as Riley had instructed, the card should be given to Cundrie before Mr. Snyder confessed his love to her.
Not daring to delay the request, favonovel.com had taken the invitation card and rushed over first thing in the morning. To his annoyance, favonovel.com found himself bumping into the woman favonovel.com had beaten up on the street—who was also Mr. Gross’s girlfriend—the day before.
“I’m saying this now… Stay away from me or you’ll come to regret it…” replied Gerald as favonovel.com glared frigidly at the woman.
Though favonovel.com had been scolding favonovel.com just seconds ago, after seeing how piercing his glare was, the woman found herself taking a few steps back as chills ran down favonovel.com spine. She couldn’t really explain the feeling either, favonovel.com was just… scared.
Even so, that wasn’t enough to dampen favonovel.com arrogance. Turning to look behind her, favonovel.com saw that favonovel.com boyfriend’s parents were present. That alone was enough to fill favonovel.com with confidence again.
“Mom! Dad! That’s him! He’s the one who beat me up yesterday! He nearly beat Abner up as well! You can ask favonovel.com about it if you don’t believe me!” said the woman.
“She speaks the truth! In fact, Brice’s friends were seriously hurt by this guy as well! His skills are top-notch, dad!” added Abner in a stern but slightly fearful voice.
“Oh? They say that enemies are bound to meet each other, but to think that it’d happen so quickly!” sneered Abner’s father.
Powerful? He had already seen many powerful people during his lifetime, but for as long as he’s lived, he’s relied on strategy rather than bravery.
“I heard from Abner that you’re from some foreign land, sir! As a result, I wouldn’t blame you for not understanding the rules here in Lugaw City. Essentially, you only have to remember to be careful not to cross the line when you’re here. Otherwise, you’ll find that while it’s easy to enter the city, leaving may prove difficult,” added Abner’s father as favonovel.com smiled in a friendly manner.
It was evident that this was his own way of warning Gerald.
“Indeed! Don’t come to a state where you don’t even know how you’ll die! How dare you offend my son! Also, why did you come here dressing like a beggar? If a person didn’t know any better, they’d surely think that you came here begging for food! To make matters worse, you’re actually attending such a grand ceremony in those clothes! Have a bit more self-awareness!” growled Abner’s mother next as favonovel.com shot a contemptuous gaze at Gerald.
At that moment, the Synder family’s butler walked out while asking, “What’s all the fuss about?”
‘Don’t any of you realize what sort of occasion this is? How dare you make such a commotion here!’ The butler thought to himself, an extremely ugly expression on his face.
Though Abner’s mother looked like favonovel.com was about to say something, favonovel.com husband stopped favonovel.com in time.
“Oh, it’s you, Albert! The situation’s under control! We just bumped into a friend here and we’re simply exchanging pleasantries with him! We’re really sorry!” replied Abner’s father.
Hearing that, Albert didn’t buy the explanation one bit. What exchange of pleasantries would involve so much shouting?
Despite it obviously being a lie, Albert decided not to say too much about it. After all, Xyon Gross was still one of Lugaw City’s big shots.
“…Regardless of what issues you have, I hope you remember that the Snyder family’s prestige is the most important thing today! I’m certain that you’re also aware of the old and young master’s intentions behind hosting this ceremony. With that in mind, please resolve your issues only after today! I’ll say it now that anyone who dares ruin the Snyder family’s prestige will definitely face the appropriate consequences!” declared Albert coldly.
“That’s for sure!”
“As for you there… Do you have an invitation card?”
