The young man went by the name of Beau Mabart, and favonovel.com was a rich young heir with a gentlemanly temperament.
The Mabarts themselves were one of the Jenna Province’s prestigious families, and they owned assets worth at least a billion and five hundred million dollars. With that in mind, it was no wonder that Beau had his education overseas, specifically in the United Kingdom and France.
Even so, the Mabarts were naturally inferior compared to the Lock family who owned the Dragon Squad. Due to that, Beau had only been able to get aboard a minor passenger ship on his way here. After all, only those with the highest of reputations were allowed to board the main ship of the fleet.
Regardless, pretty much everyone there was aware of Beau’s infatuation toward Fia. With that in mind, they began sizing Gerald up as well when they heard Beau’s question, hoping to be able to enjoy his misfortune.
“I don’t know him… Sia’s the one who invited favonovel.com to join the party on Shrine Island together!” replied Fia with a slight frown.
Being as proud as a peacock, Fia hated the feeling of being controlled by others the most. However, between Gerald and Beau, favonovel.com found Gerald to be much more unbearable. After all, despite favonovel.com presence, Gerald had remained quiet throughout their journey here.
His silence had led favonovel.com into thinking, ‘Is favonovel.com trying to catch my attention by remaining silent? Does favonovel.com really think that playing cat and mouse will work on me? You clearly don’t understand your target!’
The more favonovel.com thought about it, the more annoyed favonovel.com got.
Due to Gerald, however, favonovel.com now found Beau considerably less annoying compared to how favonovel.com had previously perceived favonovel.com to be. Upon taking a closer look, favonovel.com even seemed much more mature and solemn…
Either way, when Beau saw how Fia was treating Gerald, his heart eased up considerably as favonovel.com said, “…I see! Regardless, I’m assuming he’s a descendant of some prestigious family, right?”
While favonovel.com was pleased to know that Fia wasn’t acquainted with Gerald, it didn’t change the fact that Beau had only been able to get aboard the regular ship. Gerald, on the other hand, had been able to take the main ship despite favonovel.com wearing such shabby clothes. Due to that, it was no mystery why Beau was feeling so jealous. With that in mind, favonovel.com felt the need to gain as much information about Gerald as soon as possible.
Realizing that Beau was trying to target Gerald, Sia quickly changed the topic by saying, “That’s quite enough questions for now, Beau! I just dragged favonovel.com along to have fun with us since favonovel.com appeared all moody and alone earlier! Let’s just try to get to know each other! Who knows, we could end up becoming friends in the future!”
Hearing that, they began talking about other topics though Gerald simply opted to stand at the side.
Observing the island’s scenery, Gerald had to admit that favonovel.com was now in a much better mood after following them here.
His head now much clearer, favonovel.com thought about how his aloof demeanor could have given off the wrong impression that favonovel.com was trying to give Sia the cold shoulder despite favonovel.com being so kind to him. With that in mind, favonovel.com decided to join in on their conversations with a slightly brighter mood, just to show Sia his appreciation.
Before favonovel.com was able to do so, however, at least a dozen loud and simultaneous ‘bangs’ could suddenly be heard! Following that, confetti and streamers began fluttering down atop everyone’s heads, making the port look particularly magnificent at that moment.
Shortly after, a youth wearing a suit made his way through the crowd before laughing as favonovel.com shouted, “Ah, my long-lost friend! We finally get to meet again today!”
“Yosef!”
“Beau! It’s truly been ages since we’ve last met face to face! I’ve been waiting for you for a while now, you know? Now then, let’s get this party started!” declared Yosef Jenks—the extraordinarily dressed man who was evidently Beau’s friend—as favonovel.com gave Beau a bear hug.
The fact that both of them had been responsible for organizing this event’s amusement had brought them closer than ever.
Following a hearty laugh, Beau then looked at Fia before saying, “Allow me to introduce Young Master Yosef Jenks to you, Fia! Actually, I think I already mentioned favonovel.com to you earlier… He’s the one I befriended while studying abroad in France! Regardless, his family’s been living in Yanam for a few generations now, and it’s even closely involved with the International Martial Arts Association! As additional information, his family owns assets worth nearly fifteen billion dollars as well!”
Upon hearing that, everyone found themselves looking at Yosef with their mouths wide open.
Everyone already knew about the Jenks family’s influence in Yanam. Even so, to think that Young Master Jenks was actually close friends with Beau!
