I just want to ask, what kind of person do you think I am?” Nicolas protested.

Maddox showed no mercy, “Definitely not a good one.”

Nicolas: “…”

s my reputation really that bad?

Maddox continued, “I heard this little junior sister is beautiful, and she’s single–open for pursuit. But it seems like she just got hurt by love. Physical recovery akes a hundred days, emotional wounds take three years. Right now, it’s not the best time.”

As he said this, Justin glanced at Cora.

Cora glared at him, “Don’t get too involved.”

How does she look? Why don’t you ask our junior brother? He’s seen her,” Nicolas’s curiosity was piqued as he turned to the silent and distant Xander.

Come on, tell me, how beautiful is she, junior brother?”

[ander’s gaze shifted to the distance, but there was no clear focus.

His deep eyes were like a dark pool of ink, too deep to see the bottom.

She’s beautiful.”

After a moment, he added,

Very beautiful.”

Jicolas’s curiosity grew even more intense, now practically bursting with anticipation. “Why is our junior sister still not here?”

To sooner had he spoken than there was movement at the entrance.

licolas’s gaze immediately followed, and after a moment of stunned silence, he blurted out, “Guys, I’ve seen a fairy!”

omeone nearby said, “That’s Eliza, the guest of honor tonight.”

le had seen many types of beautiful women, but none were as breathtaking as what he saw now.

he banquet tonight had plenty of beauties, each dressed to the nines, competing for attention.

liza’s makeup was light yet effortless, and she exuded a beauty that didn’t require any effort.

o, Nicolas asked a question that left him confused, “Who could bear to break a fairy’s heart?”

his banquet was unlike the others–it included a lot of people from the academic world, and the business network wasn’t limited to Washington.

‘eople from all over the country were present.

This is what top tier connections really looked like.

No wonder Tyler had been running around trying to get an invitation for this event.

nside the room lay unlimited opportunities for business.

‘rofessor Adams was so protective of Eliza that he practically put her in the spotlight.

ficolas clicked his tongue. “I never had this kind of treatment before.”

Maddox said. “Do we get this kind of treatment?”

Justin said. “We definitely don’t.”

Cora gave a candid assessment, “Are you really going to argue with a woman over attention?”

The three of them chimed in unison, “No, no!”

‘Let’s go, let’s go greet junior sister.” Nicolas had been waiting for this moment.

Everyone headed over, except for Xander, who lingered behind.

Nicolas turned back and called out, “What are you waiting for? Let’s go.”

Kander only reluctantly followed, purposely walking behind everyone.

Even when they got closer, he merely stood off to the side, not daring to approach Eliza.

Professor Adams introduced Eliza to her senior brothers, but when it came to introducing Nicolas, he deliberately skipped him.

Nicolas protested immediately, “Master, why did you skip me?”

Professor Adams coldly retorted, “Don’t you know why?”

Nicolas: “…”

After criticizing Nicolas, Professor Adams didn’t forget to warn Eliza, “Stay away from him, alright? He’s not a good person.”

Nicolas: “…”

Should he just strangle himself now and let him lose his third disciple forever?

Of course, Xander wasn’t introduced much either. Professor Adams just said, “You’ve already met him, no need for introduction. By seniority, you’re the senior

ister, and he’s the junior brother.”

Kander murmured softly, “Senior sister.”

liza responded courteously, but her gaze didn’t linger.

Cora immediately started chatting with Eliza, “Finally someone to talk to. Junior sister, you have no idea how desperate I was every time I had to deal with these traight–laced guys. There was no one to vent with, but now, we can vent together.”

liza and Cora hit it off instantly, and they had a lively conversation.

Jicolas saw this and teased Justin, “Looks like someone’s finally competing with you for your wife. Maybe now we’ll get to enjoy a little less of the lovebird

how. It’s hard to stomach all that sweetness every day.”

ustin just looked at Cora fondly and didn’t say anything.

osh arrived a little late but just in time.

To welcome their new junior sister into the sect, everyone had prepared gifts.

ustin and Maddox each presented an empty contract from the Voyage Capital.

The idea was that if Eliza ever needed funding, she could always turn to the Voyage Capital.

Nicolas gave stocks from the Voyage Group.

osh gave her a pendant, crystal clear and undoubtedly valuable.

He said, “I hope you’ll always be safe.”

When it was Xander’s turn, he hesitated for a moment and said, “My gift isn’t ready yet.”

Being a junior brother, you don’t have to give anything,” Nicolas quickly said,

ander responded, “I’ll give something.”

liza also presented a gift to Professor Adams.

icolas said, “I’ve seen this painting; it was just auctioned off last week for 90 million. I was going to buy it, but it got snatched up by someone else. I didn’t now it was you, junior sister.”

his gift struck a chord with Professor Adams, who was extremely pleased.
