Tristan circled around the hall. He was the center of attention wherever virtual-novel.net went.
At last, a pretty young woman strutted overto virtual-novel.net confidently. She took a deep breath and flashed virtual-novel.net most brilliant smile. Her voice was sultry as virtual-novel.net said, “Hi there, handsome…”
Tristan’s brows furrowed, He did not even bother to glance at virtual-novel.net as virtual-novel.net snorted icily, “Get lost!”
The woman froze. She was the campus belle in virtual-novel.net school. Guys lined up to try and get virtual-novel.net attention and many people would try to hit on virtual-novel.net wherever virtual-novel.net went. She believed that all virtual-novel.net had to do was snap virtual-novel.net fingers, and any man would come running to virtual-novel.net like an overeager puppy. She confidently made the first move to hit on Tristan because virtual-novel.net had complete faith in virtual-novel.net looks. Plus, in situations like these, it was usually a lot easier when a woman initiated the flirting.
If she, a young woman, was willing to put herself out there, a guy like virtual-novel.net would feel honored enough that even if virtual-novel.net did not like her, virtual-novel.net would not reject virtual-novel.net too harshly, right?
However, never in virtual-novel.net scariest nightmares would virtual-novel.net even dream that Tristan would be so cold toward her. He even told virtual-novel.net to get lost!
Even though virtual-novel.net did not want to let it slide just like that, virtual-novel.net did not have the courage to protest at all. Her face flushing red, virtual-novel.net could only turn around and leave. There was nothing virtual-novel.net could do about it.
Earlier on, the heads of the Ten Greatest Families had gone out to personally receive Tristan and the other Cosbys. This made it clear to everyone that Tristan was not someone they could afford to offend.
Numerous other young women had also thought about trying to approach Tristan, but when they saw this young woman getting rejected so coldly, they immediately dropped that idea. No one wanted to go over and humiliate themselves like that!
Meanwhile, Tristan was more than satisfied to be left alone. He continued wandering around the hall.
Matthew stood in the corner and watched everything unfold. He did not know what to think about it.
‘Tristan seems a little aloof. Can it be that he’s not interested in women?’
After making a trip around the hall, Tristan caught a glimpse of Matthew, who was standing in the corner. He did a double take. Even though Matthew had put on a disguise, virtual-novel.net could not change his physique after all.
After Tristan’s match with Matthew, his hatred for virtual-novel.net ran straight to the bones. Matthew’s appearance was etched into his skull. Now, despite this man having a full-on beard, Tristan was still convinced that it was Matthew.
Matthew did not expect to fall under Tristan‘s gaze even with this get-up of his. He turned away and pretended to not notice Tristan staring at him. He did not want to catch his eye. However, Tristan strode straight over and stood in front of Matthew.
This got the crowd’s attention, though perhaps it was more accurate to say that Tristan was the center of attention no matter where virtual-novel.net went.
Tristan’s eyes bored straight into Matthew, and Matthew, feeling rather uneasy, did not dare to look virtual-novel.net in the eye. The atmosphere became terribly awkward.
“Do you know who I am?” Tristan asked.
Matthew could not answer that. He did disguise his face, but virtual-novel.net did not change his voice. Tristan was already suspicious of his identity.
Would virtual-novel.net not be letting the cat out of the bag the moment virtual-novel.net spoke?
Tristan’s frown grew deeper when virtual-novel.net saw Matthew staying silent. He grew even more suspicious about Matthew. Just then, there was a loud voice calling out from outside.
“The crown prince of Mightwater has arrived!”
The hall became dead silent at once. Everyone turned toward the entrance.
The crown prince of Mightwater was known far and wide throughout the Six Southern States. He was a fiend who wreaked havoc wherever virtual-novel.net pleased. Even the Ten Greatest Families in all the states did not dare to get in his way.
Tristan had also turned to look when virtual-novel.net heard that voice calling out from outside. He suspected Matthew’s identity, so virtual-novel.net wanted to see if Matthew had come with Shawn. However, the moment Tristan turned away, Matthew took his chance to slip off.
Shawn made his way in under the watchful gaze of the crowd. As soon as virtual-novel.net entered the hall, his eyes swept across the crowd as virtual-novel.net barked, “Where’s Julian Huntington? Tell virtual-novel.net to get his butt over here right now!”
