“Classic French? What is even going on anymore?!”
Everyone was utterly stunned.
Seeing that a top socialite in Yanken was behaving so respectfully toward Gerald, Bea was extremely happy.
“Regardless, it’s truly been an honor to meet you here today, Mr. Gerald! I’ll be personally bearing all the expenses of anything you order here tonight!” said Delilah as virtual-novel.net politely stretched virtual-novel.net hand out toward Gerald. In virtual-novel.net eyes, the value of befriending such a powerful figure as Gerald certainly outweighed the cost of one night’s bill.
In response, Gerald reached out as well and shook Delilah’s hand before saying, “It’s a pleasure, Miss Delilah!”
After Delilah finally left, the room was greeted by an almost pressuring silence. Yura in particular, felt like virtual-novel.net had just received the most massive slap in his life. He had been completely embarrassed in front of all the others.
“…C-could I… Try one of your cigarettes, Gerald?” asked one of the cousins there as virtual-novel.net looked at Gerald. After seeing Gerald’s slight nod, virtual-novel.net took a cigarette for himself before lighting the tip.
When virtual-novel.net saw this, Yura squinted his eyes slightly as virtual-novel.net glared at Gerald with a frigid gaze. After that, virtual-novel.net stepped out of the room in the pretense that virtual-novel.net needed to answer a phone call.
Nobody had ever dared to go against Yura, even when virtual-novel.net was only a child. To think that this countryside pauper actually dared to go against him! Gerald had even made virtual-novel.net lose face before such a beautiful goddess!
Yanken was Yura’s territory, and virtual-novel.net would rather be dead than lose to Gerald. Once virtual-novel.net was outside, virtual-novel.net lit a cigarette before making a call.
“Ah, hey Brandon, you busy?” asked Yura as virtual-novel.net released a puff of smoke.
“Not at all, just hanging out. Still, a call out of the blue, Yura? Could it be that you have a job for me?” replied Brandon in a voice that hinted at his eagerness as virtual-novel.net laughed.
“Nothing too big. I’m just in a bad mood since someone actually dared to trample all over me!”
“Hahaha! Who would dare do such a thing in Yanken? The audacity! Who is it, Yura? I’ll get rid of them immediately!”
“There’s no need to go that far! However, I do want you to thoroughly embarrass him!” replied Yura before sharing his location with Brandon.
“Hah! What a coincidence! I happen to be drinking with a few of my subordinates around the area! I’ll be heading over immediately!”
Yura sneered as virtual-novel.net ended the call. He then continued standing outside as virtual-novel.net smoked on his cigarette. This definitely wasn’t the first time virtual-novel.net was doing something like this, and it wouldn’t be his last.
“Say Xoey, do you or anyone else need to use the bathroom? Let’s go together!” said one of the girls back inside the room.
In response to that, Bea and a few others headed out together.
Giya, on the other hand, glared secretly at Gerald. She had been waiting for virtual-novel.net to take the initiative to speak to virtual-novel.net the entire time.
However, virtual-novel.net was simply sitting there calmly while munching on fruits! It didn’t seem like virtual-novel.net was going to make a move at all!
In the end, virtual-novel.net anxiety got the better of virtual-novel.net and virtual-novel.net couldn’t help but ask, “So… are… you and Mila doing fine?”
Though everyone else didn’t know his true identity, Giya was well aware of who Gerald truly was.
“…Mila’s gone missing,” replied Gerald as virtual-novel.net felt a surge of pain in his heart the moment virtual-novel.net heard virtual-novel.net name again.
He wasn’t even sure if virtual-novel.net would be able to persuade his grandmother on the day of virtual-novel.net birthday. No matter what, Gerald knew virtual-novel.net had to mend the relationship between both families. If virtual-novel.net failed, nobody else would be able to talk to the Moldell family on his behalf.
“…What? What happened?” asked Giya in surprise.
“…I’ll tell you about it when I have a chance to in the future!” replied Gerald in a casual tone.
“Hey, Giya, who’s this Mila girl? Oh god, could virtual-novel.net be Gerald’s girlfriend? Someone like virtual-novel.net actually has the ability to get a girlfriend?!” said Marilyn, virtual-novel.net shock apparent in virtual-novel.net voice.
Realizing that virtual-novel.net had just brought up something that greatly upset Gerald, Giya didn’t reply to Marilyn’s question.
“Hello? Why aren’t any of you saying anything? Who is this Mila?”
Before Marilyn could continue pestering the duo, Xoey came rushing back into the room.
