The next morning,
I left the inn on ti. Then I found the cab driver near the street. I approached the driver and asked him to drop at the common hall.
The driver agreed. I entered the car and sat down in the back seat.
Swoosh!
The car departed from the place. The flying car was moving at a constant speed. My gaze fell on the outside scenes.
There were business shops open. The custors had co early to the shops.
About 20 minutes later,
The car landed in front of the common hall. The open space in front of the common hall was big. There were many cars parked in the place.
When the car ca to a halt, I exited and paid the fare to the driver. The driver then left the place.
I turned around and looked at the oval-shaped building. The oval-shaped building has four floors.
The warriors had started going inside the common hall. They were all dressed in luxurious clothes.
Their strength was between the Black Mark Warrior and Gold Mark Warrior. I glanced at them. They could be from the other small and dium-sized families.
I waited for Layla Fletcher to co. People who were walking past glanced at .
It didn’t take long for a black car to co. The car landed. The next second, Layla Fletcher and the maid stepped out.
I spotted them. Feeling my gaze, they turned towards .
"Young Master," Layla said.
The maid had spotted the person as well. The next second, they both walked toward the person.
"Ms. Layla, you have arrived on ti," I said to her.
"I hope Young Master can protect us today. I’m sure Mark Preslin will cause problems," Layla said.
"Mark Preslin," I uttered.
"He is the heir of the Preslin Family. He is going to be the next Family Head," the maid replied.
Hearing that, my eyes flashed with understanding.
"Do you have an invitation?" I asked.
"Yes," Layla replied.
"Let’s go inside," I said to her.
I gestured for her to walk forward. Layla nodded her head. She and the maid walked forward. I followed a few steps behind.
We reached the common hall. There were many warriors inside the banquet. I saw a middle-aged man seated in the main chair.
He was dressed in golden and black clothes. I looked at him closely. I saw a golden aura behind him.
The manager saw us coming. He recognized the face of Layla Fletcher. He didn’t even ask for the invitation.
They were greeted by the manager and ca to the wide desk. There were drinks and food placed on the table.
He asked us to enjoy the banquet. Layla Fletcher and the maid began to have the food. Seeing that, I tried so food.
But from ti to ti, my gaze fell on the middle-aged man. Mark Preslin was talking to a few people.
He was eting with the guests. The Manager went to Mark Preslin. He whispered in his ears.
Hearing that, Mark Preslin turned towards Layla Fletcher. Upon seeing her, his eyes flashed with lust.
He saw the maid and the person next to her.
Seeing that the person was a Gold Mark Warrior, he sneered. He thought the Fletcher Family might have sent the person as protection.
He stood up and walked up to her. Seeing that, the other guests in the room followed his direction. Then the other guests saw Layla Fletcher.
They recognized her as well. The Fletcher Family was one of the prominent warrior families in the city.
So of the people knew more than others. They knew Mark Preslin was after Layla Fletcher.
Recently, the Fletcher Family business had been targeted for no reason.
These people knew the Preslin Family was behind the attacks.
Mark Preslin said, "Lady Layla, thanks for coming to my banquet."
"I hope you stay here after the end of the banquet," he added.
Then his gaze fell on the warrior. He frowned. He found the face of the warrior seed to be familiar.
But he didn’t know where he had seen the face.
"Maybe he is from the Fletcher Family," Mark Preslin thought.
Then he returned to his seat. The banquet continued. No drama happened. The people from other families were disappointed.
They had wanted so fight to happen.
Ti passed.
The banquet continued. When it was ti for them to leave, the warriors started leaving the banquet as well.
Layla Fletcher and the maid decided to leave as well. They knew that if Mark Preslin tried to stop them, the Young Master would take action.
On the other hand, I had watched and heard everything. There were many things happening out there. Very little was said about the Star University and Star City.
None of them had participated in the warrior camps. So they didn’t know about the terror of the foreign creatures.
They were busy doing internal politics.
I saw Mark Preslin. I was wondering how to tackle him earlier, but I got a plan now. Mark Preslin would definitely cause problems for Layla Fletcher.
"Let’s go," I said to her.
Hearing that, Layla sighed in relief. She then glanced at her maid. Both of them then decided to leave.
It’s just that they didn’t inform Mark Preslin. They were about to leave, but the Manager saw them and quickly reported to Mark Preslin.
"Layla, where are you going?" Mark asked.
There were only a few people remaining in the banquet.
Layla paused her footsteps. Her eyes flashed with fear. The maid’s hand trembled as well.
She was a Gold Mark Warrior. But she knew there were more supporters of Mark Preslin here.
"Our Young Miss wants to go back ho. So our miss can’t stay here," I pressed forward and said.
Gasp!
Hearing that, a small exclamation occurred. They didn’t know why soone would step forward right now.
Then they understood the person could be assigned by the Fletcher Family Head.
Mark Preslin’s face turned ugly. He stepped forward and looked at the person.
"I want her to stay. No one can stop ," he said in a threatening tone.
Swoosh!
A few other Gold Mark Warriors ca to support Mark Preslin and stood behind him.
