I Am A Notorious Hidden Boss In The Alternate World
Chapter 96 - Can You Feel It?Inside the Royal Pearl Club, the large venue was divided into two areas; the main and outer areas.
Round tables of 8 chairs filled the main area with high-quality food and drinks laid on top.
Albion quickly drooled at the king lobsters, oysters, and black caviars amidst over delicious-looking food on the table.
He was quickly escorted to the outer area by the corners of the venue, but he was not disappointed—for the outer area was filled with the same quality of food and drinks.
The entire place was already half-filled with people, but very few were seated in their designated spot.
Instead, after becoming familiar with their seating arrangements, most people left to socialize with other esteemed guests of the upper-class.
Nevertheless, none of that was any of Albion's concern.
Once he was seated, he dived straight into the food with great gusto and without care for the others nor their concerns.
He came for the food, not to make friends.
"Big Brother Handsome... I know you came for the food, but can't you at least wait for the host to initiate the event? You being like this, even I am embarrassed to sit next to you..." Xiao Hua spoke softly, feel awkward under the disapproving gazes of the adults.
"I'm not ashamed, so why should you be? If you can't stand it, you are free to go sit with your sister, you know?" Albion said nonchalantly before stuffing his mouth with food.
"You…" Xiao Hua was struck speechless by Albion before she asked, "How can you have such thick skin?
Xiao Hua silently lamented in her heart, feeling herself quickly losing interest. It was such a waste of a handsome face to have such a shameless character.
"Well… if you spend 25 months straight in your natural state, you should be able to grow thick skin like me." Albion did not deny his shamelessness.
"What is natural stat—" Xiao Hua was about to ask when she suddenly realized, causing her face to become hot before she cried, "Big Brother is a pervert!"
Albion shrugged nonchalantly.
It was not by choice that he lost his clothes to the stomach of the ancient sea serpent, forcing him to be naked.
…
As the guests continued to enter the venue, a few familiar faces appeared within the crowd. They were the main hosts of the night, the Seymour family.
David Seymour was escorted by his two sons, Klein Seymour and William Seymour, while their own families accompanied them from behind.
Jun, Eleanor, and Anya were seen on Klein Seymour's side, while on William Seymour's side, there was his wife at age 41, Martha, and his two sons, Darien and Antoine, at age 22 and 18, respectively.
Klein Seymour was quick to spot Albion in the corner.
But seeing the person happily eating where he was, Klein Seymour could only smile wryly and leave the young master be.
"Dad, Isn't that Young Master Albion?" Eleanor quietly whispered before asking, "Isn't he supposed to sit with us?"
"Just leave him be. If Young Master Albion wants to sit there, just leave him be. He seems to be with the little princess from the Xiao family." Klein Seymour said.
A disgruntled snort came from Anya while William Seymour threw a casual glance over before continuing to escort his elderly father.
At the same time, the guests quickly stood up from their seats, joining the other people already standing to congratulate, "Happy 87th Birthday, Old Master,"
"Hohoho. Sit, everyone. There's no need to stand to greet this old man." David Seymour chuckled in a jovial mood as he waved his hand at them.
Suddenly, a commotion broke out at the front of the venue.
After William Seymour glanced back, he turned to Klein Seymour and said, "I will go take a look. You continue to escort father to his seat, brother."
"Alright." Klein Seymour nodded.
…
Outside of Royal Pearl Club, the attendant was doing her best to reason with a group of bikies, "Sirs, if you don't have invitation cards or someone to refer you, I'm afraid that you cannot enter. Please don't make it difficult for me."
"We don't want any trouble. We only wish to join and congratulate the Old Master on his 87th birthday. Please let the Old Master know," Brody spoke politely despite his intimidating look.
"I'm sorry, I—"
"What's going on here?" William Seymour questioned upon his arrival before the attendant could finish speaking.
The attendant turned around with surprise before she explained, "Mr. William, these people wish to join the event without referrals or invitation cards."
William Seymour frowned before he observed the group of thuggish-looking men. His eyes narrowed shortly after.
"Ravenclaw Gang?" William Seymour asked.
"Oh? We are honored to be recognized by Mr. William," Brody nodded before he sincerely said, "We truly wish to join and congratulate Old Master Seymour on his 87th birthday."
"I see…" William's eyes flickered for a moment before he nodded and said to the attendant, "Let them enter. They can be seated in the outer area."
"Yes, Mr. William." The attendant bowed respectfully.
Shortly after, the six men from the Ravenclaw Gang were brought inside by the attendant.
As the last group to enter, most of the seats were taken, and only Albion and Xiao Hua's table were strangely empty.
"Excuse me—" The attendant paused for a moment before said, "Do you mind if these gents join your table?"
The attendant realized it was the person who used a stolen card to get in.
However, the person came with the Xiao family's little princess. Thus, there was no need to steal unless the person was bored or looking for trouble.
If Albion knew what the attendant was thinking, he would have cried with injustice. He was definitely not trying to cause trouble—ahem, not make a scene.
Nevertheless, Albion waved his greasy hand, "I don't mind."
The table was quickly occupied with burly men, causing Xiao Hua to shrivel with slight fear and moved her seat closer to Albion.
In the main area, David Seymour began making a speech.
However, Albion did not listen and only focused on eating while no one else was, causing Xiao Hua to feel awkward.
Remember her mission, Xiao Hua sighed before she suddenly spoke, "Hey, Big—"
"Hey, young man. Don't you think you are being disrespectful to the Old Master by not listening? Also, if you eat everything, what will we eat?" One of the men frowned.
"Is that so? So sorry then," Albion casually responded before filling an empty plate with food and passing it over reluctantly, "Here's your share. The rest is mine."
"Shin!" Brody quickly warned, but it was too late.
The person called Shin slapped the plate out of Albion's hand in anger before pulling Albion up by the collar and glared at him, "Are you making fun of us, boy?! How you give us so little while hogging the rest for yourself!"
Crack!
The plate shattered after hitting the hard ground before Albion's gaze was fixated on the wasted food on the floor in silence and somberness.
"…"
"Look at me when I am talking to you!" The man shook Albion's collar.
Shortly after, Albion looked up with narrowed eyes and calmly asked, "Can you feel it?"
"Feel what?"
"My animosity."
Rumble!
Everything in the surrounding began to shake and rattle as a heavy and menacing feeling descended in the area, causing the man's body to dip slightly from the suppression.
'Did he just kicked an iron plate?' The man thought while breaking into cold sweats in that instance.
