Chapter 120: Unexpected Guest
\'Just to run the shop, Uncle Loid needs a lot of connections. How much will I need to start the city? Not to mention, I have to buy a lot of servants and magic golems,\' he thought, watching the rich people inside the hall.
When a sudden commotion outside the villa attracted everyone\'s attention.
The cause of this was a luxurious carriage pulled by four snow-white horses.
Watching this, people were stunned and started to talk with each other.
"That\'s the luxury carriage of nobles! I didn\'t think that Maxwell family was able to invite them."
"Hey did you forget that the Maxwell family has a contract with more than twenty D-class adventure parties, in front of it the little nobles are nothing much."
"But still, the nobles are protected by the kingdom. Why would they fear some D-class adventure parties?"
"You are right about that, but you will know the answer when the party starts."
As the people conversed among themselves, Li Wei heard everything and looked at Emily with a question.
However, she just smiled mysteriously and kept talking with Li Xin and others about the dresses they bought, ignoring him.
Li Wei became speechless at her response when, once again, a luxurious carriage of nobles came.
\'Is Uncle Loid some big shot in secret?\' he thought but dismissed the idea.
If he was really a big shot, then he would be staying in a higher-level city, preferably inside the capital city.
As he pondered, more and more nobles arrived, with people conversing about them.
"Hey, look at that carriage. Isn\'t it from the Harrison family?"
"Yes, you are right. I think the goddess Karina might be coming with her brother."
"You are really right. It\'s goddess Karina!"
The people exclaimed, watching Karina and Alex coming down from the carriage.
However, everyone was focused on Karina because it\'s very rare to see her in a party dress.
Karina felt their gazes but didn\'t care and hugged Alex\'s arm tightly.
"My dear brother, let\'s go," she said with a smile, making him freak out.
"Sister! You, you are too close," Alex gulped with fear as he felt his arm getting squeezed by something soft.
But Karina didn\'t care much and pulled him towards the main hall of the party.
The onlookers watched everything and became jealous of Alex, wishing it was themselves and not him.
But if they knew that Alex regretted coming to the party with her, they would probably beat him up.
"Sister, you are really too close. What will others think?" Alex reminded her again, but in response, he got a tight grip on his arm and a vicious glare.
"You are just a shield for me, so be careful about those indecent thoughts. Also, if you fail to do your job, I will use you as a meat shield next time," Karina threatened with a snort while leading him inside the party hall.
However, she became surprised after finding a certain figure in the corner that was surrounded by beautiful women, and it was a lot noticeable because he was with triplets.
"Alex, isn\'t that your friend Li Wei, the leader of the Abyss?" she muttered, pointing towards him.
However, Alex hurriedly shook his head as soon as he heard his name.
"Sister, what are you talking about? He is not a friend of mine and he will never be, even if he becomes the leader of the Holy White faction," he replied with fear.
"Tsk, you are too much of a scaredy-cat. Just look at him. There are many beautiful girls around him, but none of the men are making a move. Don\'t you think it\'s very interesting?" Karina replied with a smile as she approached Li Wei while dragging the unwilling Alex.
Li Wei, who was sitting, also noticed their arrival and felt a little surprised watching them coming towards him.
But he already figured out what they might come here for.
"Yo, Li Wei, I didn\'t expect to see you here. You wouldn\'t mind if I sit beside you all right?" Karina requested with a smile.
"Miss Karina, it\'s not my party, so you can sit wherever you want," Li Wei replied, shaking his head as he glanced at the boys and men who were looking here occasionally but with fear.
He already knew that such a situation would happen because Elves and Fairy races were rare in this city. Also, every member of his party were top-class beauties, not to mention the triplets.
However, he came prepared with his Mysterious Aura skill learned from Lily that can intimidate others. He also leveled up the skill from 12 to 70 for 2,407 skill points just to scare others.
\'I hope they won\'t provoke me,\' Li Wei thought as he once again unleashed the skill on the people who looked here.
"Bad Brother, you are scaring them too much. Did you come here to ruin my party?" Emily pouted at him after watching this.
She wanted those men to come here and talk with Elva and others so he would feel jealous and slowly develop feelings for everyone.
But her plans became useless in front of his ability and could only complain with irritation.
"Emily, I am not scaring them. It\'s just that they are scared of me without me doing anything," Li Wei played dumb and continued to scare any men who looked here.
But he soon faced a big problem.
"Bad brother, so you were planning for this?" Emily snorted as she watched almost every girl and woman gather around them.
But, Li Wei hurriedly denied.
"I wasn\'t, and if I was, then that guy wouldn\'t be here," he replied, pointing at Alex, who almost spat his juice in fear after watching his finger pointing at him.
"Humph, liar. You definitely have ulterior motives," Emily pouted at him with a snort.
It\'s not like she didn\'t like the thought of him getting close to others, but he was protected by the triplets: Lily, Li Xin, and Li Yin, while Elva and others, too, were scaring any girls who were coming here with a cold look.
They didn\'t even let Karina off, because of this she has to sit silently, but she didn\'t care much and looked at Alex with a smile, making him sweat with fear for unknown reasons.
As Emily\'s complaints and chat continued, an unexpected guest arrived, making everyone in the party hall shocked.
"Priestess Irene!" Everyone exclaimed with stunned expressions and hurriedly stood up.
Li Wei was also the same and looked at Emily; however, she too wore a stunned face at her arrival.
"Bad brother, sisters, you all wait here. I have to inform mommy and daddy about this," Emily said and hurriedly ran away to inform them about the unexpected guest.
"Brother, what do you think about the Priestess? Why did she come here?" Li Xin asked with a puzzled expression after the priestess asked everyone to sit down and continue what they were doing.
"I don\'t know, maybe she came here for something else," Li Wei replied with a frown when he saw Irene coming towards him with her legion behind.
"Oh, isn\'t this the Abyss leader, and they all must be your party members, right?" Irene said, observing Li Xin and others beside him.
"Yes, they are my party members," Li Wei replied with a nod and didn\'t say anything, wanting to end the conversation here.
"Hmm, why are you so uninterested in conserving? Anyway, look, the party is about to start," Irene muttered as she looked at the lift.
Li Wei and others also did the same and became stunned when they saw Emily coming with Aunt Eliza, Uncle Loid, and two more people.
One was a small boy around eight years old, while the other was a woman the same age as Aunt Eliza.
\'Don\'t tell me Uncle Loid has two wives!\' Li Wei thought with a shock when he noticed Emily looking at him with a proud expression.
He really wanted to ask why she was proud of this, but this wasn\'t the time.
"Priestess Irene, I apologize for our late reception and I am really honoured to have you as our guest," Loid apologized and expressed his gratitude for their visit.
"Mr. Loid, you need not worry about this. I came here to enjoy the party and will stay with Abyss leader to talk," Irene replied, pointing at Li Wei, making him feel bitter.
"As you wish, Priestess Irene. If you need something, you can just tell me or any servant. We will do our best to satisfy your needs," Loid answered after coming out of his surprise.
"Yes, I will definitely ask if there is a need," Irene replied with a smile.
Loid nodded and was just about to say something when a few more people entered the hall, attracting the attention of everyone.
They were none other than the hero Bai Feng and his party.
