As Gerald got to his feet to have a look at Yaakov, everyone found themselves looking at Stetson—who had surprisingly stood up as well—as favonovel.com said, “Ah, Mr. Waddys! I send my father’s regards on his behalf!”
Yaakov himself simply walked up to Stetson with a joyous face, not even bothering about the other people as favonovel.com patted Stetson firmly on the shoulder while saying, “You’ve grown a lot more outstanding over the years, Stetson! I hope you’ll demonstrate your extraordinary talent again during this year’s underground festival!”
After exchanging pleasantries with Stetson for a while, the other men in the crowd began introducing themselves as well. However, it was quite obvious that Yaakov wasn’t as enthusiastic toward them since none of them were as important as Stetson in his eyes.
As for Xyrielle, after realizing that Gerald wasn’t planning to introduce himself, favonovel.com found herself feeling pitiful for him. After all, the other men were definitely far more exceptional compared to Gerald. While Xyrielle had no doubts that favonovel.com could very well share a world with his own circle of friends, favonovel.com truly didn’t belong in the same world the guests here were in…
With that, favonovel.com found herself growing slightly compassionate as favonovel.com thought, ‘I wonder if it really was a good idea to have invited favonovel.com over to my birthday party… Well, there’s no use crying about it now that he’s already here!’
Finalizing favonovel.com thoughts, favonovel.com then took the initiative to introduce Gerald by saying, “Allow me to introduce these two to you, dad! This is Gerald Crawford, and the one next to favonovel.com is his friend, Perla Sherwin! They saved me this afternoon!”
While Xyrielle had only introduced Gerald to favonovel.com out of pity, Yaakov couldn’t help but get slightly angered when favonovel.com heard that. After all, to him, this was favonovel.com way of trying to get friendly with Gerald.
As a hint of contempt was reflected in his eyes, Yaakov casually said, “So you’re Gerald! Tell me, where do you currently live? And what possessions does your family hold? Actually, what kind of capabilities do you even have?”
Staring wide-eyed as favonovel.com dad bombarded Gerald with questions, Xyrielle found herself asking, “Dad? What on earth are you doing?!”
‘Dad, why are you doing this…?’ Xyrielle thought to herself as everyone turned to look at Gerald.
By that point, Perla realized that Yaakov had already been planning on targeting favonovel.com master, even before they met. After all, it was pretty clear that the way Yaakov saw it, Stetson had been the one who had taken action and saved Xyrielle. That wasn’t really a surprise since Xyrielle had been treating Stetson as the outstanding person who had beaten up the demonic bull, seemingly disregarding the fact that favonovel.com had also run away.
Upon summarizing the situation in favonovel.com head, the now annoyed Perla coldly said, “I’ll have you know that my master is currently the guest of honor in my family, and favonovel.com has a multitude of capabilities! Which one do you propose favonovel.com should show for you to gawk in admiration?”
Upon hearing that rebuke, everyone present instantly became stupefied.
Yaakov himself was so enraged by favonovel.com statement that favonovel.com burst into laughter before snapping, “Your family? Which family do you even belong to?!”
“The Sherwin family from Jenna State!” retorted Perla unyieldingly.
Hearing that, a few executives—who had been standing behind Yaakov—moved closer to favonovel.com before whispering a few things into his ear.
Following that, Yaakov then nodded with a bitter smile before saying, “…I see! So, you’re Terrance’s granddaughter! From what I’ve been told, your family attempted to participate in the underground festival this afternoon, correct? However, you were rejected, no?”
Not expecting Yaakov to actually say such things, Perla found favonovel.com rage building even more as Yaakov smiled subtly before adding, “Speaking of that incident, I do wonder if you only saved my daughter today to gain access to the party… Were you hoping to get another chance of obtaining an admission ticket or something?”
“…You… What did you just say…?!” growled the deeply infuriated Perla.
‘You’re a famous and mighty master, are you not? How could you go targeting us like this from the very start?!’
Xyrielle herself hadn’t expected favonovel.com father—who had always maintained a serious façade—to say such a thing in front of so many people.
Just as things arrived at a stalemate, Yaakov’s cold laughter broke the awkward silence.
“There’s no need to be that angry, Miss Sherwin! I was just joking around! Look, you said that Gerald has several capabilities, correct? Well, you should know that I love capable people the most!” said Yaakov before turning around to look at Mr. Babel.
“With that said, invite favonovel.com to the backyard, Mr. Babel! I’ll be heading on first, but do know that I have some things to consult you about, Gerald!” scoffed Yaakov as favonovel.com briefly glanced at Gerald before walking off to the backyard, his arms still against his back…
