“Oh?” Connor’s gaze turned cold. This kid seems like he didn’t know better.
“Big Brother, he’s trying to make you look bad,” another teenager with a short figure said without thinking too much, and that made Connor turn his head in anger as he thought, If your dad isn’t my dad’s assistant, you wouldn’t be standing here neither. How could that savvy old man give birth to this dumb kid.
There were a few people who were covering their mouths and secretly laughing, but no one dared to make a sound because it would’ve made Connor more furious.
“Look around you; do you think you even qualify to come here?” Connor’s tone became less polite, and he ignored what Chubby Harry had said. How could someone in an employee uniform even qualify to come in!
Chubby Harry was about to argue, but he got stopped by Mu Fan with his eyes. Mu Fan could tell that Chubby Harry didn’t have a high status in this group of people. For example, this person in front of him could completely ignore Harry even though Harry’s family was hosting this banquet.
During the calm stare down, Mu Fan said softly but also clear enough so that everyone nearby could hear him, “Then what? Do I know you? Or was this banquet arranged by your family?”
The short teenager beside Connor could hear Connor’s fists clenching, and he shrank his neck and slid away quietly. This dull-headed young man was familiar with the state of Connor when he was furious, and it was clear that Connor was in a bad mood! I better stay away.
“Kid, do you know who you are talking to?” Connor suddenly laughed, but the coldness in his voice made the nosy guests around them walk away subconsciously. That kid messed with the wrong person.
Chubby Harry who was ignored by the guests dug his nails deep into his palms. He would have tried to end this if Mu Fan didn’t stop him earlier.
“I don’t know,” Mu Fan calmly spat out his words. He wasn’t lying as he really didn’t know who this person was. Judging by his arrogant expression, Mu Fan wondered if this young man was even more powerful than Young Master Wen. But even if this young man was, that wouldn’t have mattered very much to Mu Fan; he wasn’t afraid of them anyways. Mu Fan’s state of mind had changed unknowingly after having Black by his side.
“This is thrilling! Nice comeback!” Black’s voice was full of anticipation. How could I miss out on the fun stuff here? it thought, Mu Fan is definitely not an ordinary person who avoids trouble. Everywhere he goes, there’s trouble. Good thing that I’m here to cover him.
“Mu Fan, your tone should be flattering, and raise your chin a bit. Too bad that the monitoring system here doesn’t have a full coverage, and I can only see your profile. You must bring my carrier next time; it’s such a shame that I can’t be there to witness the great scene myself!” Black sighed as it commented.
Mu Fan felt his head hurting as soon as he heard Black’s voice, and his expression seemed somewhat twisted when he heard the second half of what Black said. The calm expression on his face changed, and his lips also twitch uncontrollably.
There was no way around it since Black could pop out at any time, and it was extremely mischievous.
Mu Fan’s change of expression was quite subtle, and he didn’t expect that those facing him would see his expression clearly. Even Chubby Harry was shocked.
No one dared to provoke Connor in the class, and Chubby Harry had been bullied for more than two years. Now, he saw Mu Fan’s fake smile without any explanation, and how he pretended to look serious as he said that he didn’t know Connor.
This sarcasm is over the top! He had definitely shifted away Connor’s anger!
Chubby Harry’s face was completely red, but it was now out of excitement instead of embarrassment.
Meanwhile, Connor’s expression was quite interesting as he didn’t expect that a kid who he had never seen before would talk to him like this. He looked at the people around him, and their effort trying to hold back their laughter made him furious, especially that the girls were heading over.
Chubby Hurry’s cousin was among them, and she was the beautiful girl who was wearing a white gown.
Connor couldn’t hold it back anymore and wanted to punch Mu Fan’s face that looked disgusting in his eyes. He couldn’t stand how Mu Fan’s eyes showed no respect to the aristocrats. A person in an employee uniform of a tailer shop could never be part of the high-class circle. Also, regardless of how much Chubby Harry claimed that Mu Fan was a friend, his status would be none other than that of a peasant. Connor didn’t know that the way he viewed peasants, which was how they were all inferior, was surprisingly similar to Wen Zheming who was famous for his cruelty in their circle.
Things were about to get messy and a fight was about to begin when a crisp and pleasant voice sounded with a little bit of surprise. “How come you’re here?”
Em? Such a smooth and pleasant voice. Mu Fan’s head turned slightly and saw the person who spoke. She was still in the same white gown with pearls, but she looked surprised with her eyes widened. Her facial features were accentuated by her makeup, her black long hair was braided to the side, and she was wearing a sapphire necklace that reflected blue light under illumination.
She’s the girl from Yi Zhi Sha who has a pleasant voice. Mu Fan confirmed his guess after thorough observation.
Connor was at the edge of exploding, but he miraculously held it back after hearing her voice and turned around. With a smile that he thought was charismatic, he said to this girl, “I was wondering whose pleasant voice it was, and so it turned out to the beautiful and noble Ms. Shirley.”
Chubby Harry didn’t look impressed. How come this distant cousin of mine is walking over? Is she here to watch the fun?
He didn’t feel good about her as there was clearly enough time to grasp the situation while she walked over, but she only spoke up now. So calculative.
However, Chubby Harry really misunderstood his cousin this time. She was unfamiliar with this place and didn’t want to stand out, so she could only chat with the other female guests. She didn’t expect that the girls who she was with enjoyed watching the scene, and she only saw Mu Fan when she walked over with them.
She remembered Mu Fan as he did make an impression during their special afternoon encounter. She was strolling around in a local clothing store on such a distant planet, but she lost her interest when she heard that female manager mocking their customer. Yet, when she was about to leave the store, she heard the young man asking to wrap up the clothes. Therefore, the impression that Mu Fan left her was that he was puffing himself up at his own cost.
Now seeing Mu Fan again, Shirley was surprised as she didn’t believe in the probability that someone who couldn’t even afford a formal attire would show up in a gathering like this which was on the opposite side of the planet.
Shirley didn’t hear an answer from that young man. Instead, another young man beside Mu Fan spoke, so she turned around and looked at him with annoyance in her eyes.
Woah! Connor was stunned by Shirley’s beauty. Her innate noble temperament was incomparable to the lower-level aristocrats on Planet Loga. He had heard that she came from an aristocratic family on Planet Blue. If he could marry her, then that would be a skyrocketing rise in his status! Having thought that, Connor’s smile grew brighter, and it was unfortunate that he couldn’t manage to cover up his looks. Shirley disliked this type of man.
“How come you’re here?” Shirley directly ignored Connor who thought too much and continued to look at Mu Fan. Read latest Chapters at Wuxia World.Site Only
“That’s my friend, Mu Fan. I invited him tonight.” Chubby Harry finally spoke up as he thought that Shirley was there to make fun of them just like Connor.
Connor’s face twitched a bit when he saw that Shirley ignored him, but he quickly returned to normal and ignored Chubby Harry as he said, “I don’t know how this low-class civilian got into this banquet tonight, but I will ask him to leave now.” He turned around towards Mu Fan and scolded, “Since this beautiful lady is here, I’ll save you some face. You can make your way out now.”
This was the first time that Shirley expressed her disgust so direly through her gaze, and she wondered how such a low-IQ person could appear in this banquet.
Not sure if Mu Fan had also felt the gaze at the same time, but what he replied made Shirley’s expressive eyes open wide.
“Since there is a girl here, I’ll save you some face as well.”
