Chapter 219
Before long, Terence was ushered into the venue by the group of people
surrounding him.
Emmanuel tried to catch up, but he couldn’t get close to Terence. In the end,
he gave up and wandered around on his own.
As he entered the venue, he was truly amazed. So, this is how magnificent
the upper–class‘ place is! Almost every item on display in the venue was

nobody would help them.
Emmanuel, who was new to the upper class, did not know these things, so he
was caught off guard by the question.
Seeing that he couldn’t answer, several young heirs immediately surrounded
him with ill intentions. “Hey, kid, you don’t know anything about the rules, do
