The Universe Is Innately Just 178 Paying Respect Part Five

What was even worse was that the youth who was being lectured had to nod respectfully. Even forced by a cold glare to express his grat.i.tude for the valuable lesson he was taught. Also, Fell himself couldn't trust the degree of quirkiness from the scene that was unraveling in front of him.

That being said, it showed him a valuable lesson that as the n.o.bles' top executives have backed down from a fight. That would also be true for the one under them, leaving the only possible enemies being the sole elders from the families and the hidden otherworldly guest that resided in them.

That valuable piece of information was worth much more than the row of awkward glance that was thrown toward the pair of cultivators. Glances that were at first embarra.s.sed and held a nonnegligible amount of contempt, that came from the numerous guests, soon turned into admiration as they noticed the mighty ruler of New Casablanca bow their head in front of a bad-mannered youth.

"That youth with the sungla.s.ses is…", mumbled of the guest that was sitting close to Fell's table.

"An incredible figure", responded someone near him.

"His ability to bend reality and logic is unbelievable…"

Yet a few of the guests noticed that the matter wasn't as simple as that. The well-hidden anger in the eyes of the four n.o.ble families would disappear the moment their sight would drop on the black-haired youth. The few observant guests noticed that, and came to the understanding that Fell was the origin of their fear and inability to take out the annoying Wind.

What was annoying beyond madness to some; Was a matter of joy to the others. Everything depended on the sides and perceptions of the individuals.

A few guests could be seen looking at each other; the hidden intention in their gaze portrayed their thoughts about the on-going events. Those individuals were the families that stood right under the four leading n.o.ble families and had tried to vie for their spots for years.

They knew that tonight's events were far too weird, and as a few of them were cultivator could notice the raging dormant energy that sat at the central table in the middle of the ballroom.

Although Fell had made his best in reducing his breath, part of his aura could still escape despite his attempt at blocking it in his body, and that added to the fact that he cultivated all three systems made it difficult for him to go unnoticed.

In the eyes of the few cultivators among the guest, a sheeted sword that released this amount of pressure when hidden couldn't be underestimated. What if the sword flew out of its sheath, and revealed the full might of cutting edges, that fact alone wholly changed their perception of the black-haired youth.

If they continued thinking that the extent of his strength only stopped at what he was showing them. That would only lead to their loss, or even worst, their death.

The n.o.ble family system had been in place in their city for an extended period. The families were closer to organization or clan than truly blood bonded families that usually existed; That fact had turned the contest of hegemony into a bloodied battle that has lasted since then. Just among the four n.o.ble families, three of them had climbed to their spots from among the ma.s.s.

The Taggerio-Henrys-and Merendinies Family were far from having a long history, and only the Golden Family had existed for nearly a century. That fact alone had created constant tension among the n.o.ble families of the city as anybody could climb from a lower position — a savage world where the downfall of the economic and political hegemony could happen over a single night.

"Change is happening tonight…", a middle-aged man name Orlen thought as he gazed at the face of a few members from the four n.o.ble families. The grey-haired, middle-aged man was part of the Oris Family -One of the many families that stood in the spot right under the four leading families- and had come to understand the bets that were at holds tonight.

An individual that could cause change the power balance on his own had appeared. His appearance could be a.s.signed to a bad omen for some, but to others, it was the same a golden egg laid by heaven. The opportunity that many had been waiting for had emerged.

With the undeniable truth that he had already shown his fang to the main four, was a piece of delightful news for many n.o.ble families.

The last bits of contempt that existed in their heart disappeared, and a few individuals even went to the extent of sending amiable gaze to the pair of cultivators. Although they had already socialized a little bit before the diner, those interactions were at most polite, and no sign of friends.h.i.+p had appeared, nor had they crushed that possibility.

The famed bell of the golden family resounded, and large trays filled with large plates made their way to each table. The silver plates that were filled with the many nutritious delicacies were cleaned out of the hall.

Their contents had since long been emptied down someone's throat.

And what replaced them caused the eyes of many maiden to glow in many colorful lights.

Cakes of numerous colors and shape could be seen on every tables. And the dinner advanced to its last part, with the many guests having eaten to their fill, they completed their royal meal with sweets that warmed the heart of everyone in the venue.

In front of Fell, appeared many pastries and cake, but after tasting one of them, his interest in the sugary sweets was stopped short. On the contrary, his eyes were intrigued by the many fruits that laid at hand in front of him.
