Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure Chapter 280 Meeting Nobles (2)

After the food was brought, I ignored the two of them and just slowly enjoyed my al.

Since I was acting calm and collected, they couldn't say anything and also ordered food to go along with .

The balding middle aged man tried to talk to during the al, but he gave up after all he got were non-committal answers. The muscular man just calmly ate his al without making much sound.

After I finished the al, I still didn't acknowledge them as I ordered dessert.

At this point, it wasn't just the people at the table that were feeling uncomfortable, it was also the people around who were feeling uncomfortable.

These were people that had wanted to talk to as well, but they had no choice but to give up this idea when they saw the ones that were already sitting at our table. These people already at the table had much higher statuses, so they couldn't just barge in or they would suffer consequences.

But they didn't want to leave that quickly either, so they sat nearby to see if they could get any useful information.

However, right now, I just made everyone feel uncomfortable.

The kitchen didn't take long to prepare our desserts since they knew what kind of people were waiting.

They might not know , but they knew who the balding middle aged man and the muscular man were.

If they dared delay, it would beco a matter of life and death.

So they rushed the dishes out as quickly as possible while also making sure to maintain the quality of the food.

I could really tell that the kitchen was trying their best since the food that they made was quite delicious. This had been one of the best als that I had in my entire life, even including my past life.

It was just that I didn't enjoy what would co next.

After dessert, I also ordered a coffee that was brought over right away.

I slowly stirred the sugar cubes that I dropped into the coffee until they dissolved before taking a sip while deliberately looking at the two groups to both of my sides.

When I put the coffee down, I finally said, "What are you here for?"

When they heard this, both the balding middle aged man and the muscular man couldn't help being taken aback by how abrupt I was. However, I was happy to see this since this was all part of my strategy.

There was a reason behind everything that I had done so far.

I had deliberately kept them waiting and made them uncomfortable with this just so I could catch them off guard with this sudden question.

As for why I knew they wouldn't leave…I could see it from their faces.

Even though I ignored them like this, they hadn't reacted at all.

It was most likely because they were feeling the pressure from the ones above them that forced them to stay even if they felt that they had been disrespected.

So I had capitalized on that.

The one to react first was the balding middle aged man.

He was soone who was knee deep in the world of politics, so he was familiar with tricks like this. He was able to keep his mind firm and focus on the task at hand, so he said, "I've co here today to befriend your lordship. I feel that we have a lot in common and can learn from one another."

I narrowed my eyes to look at him before nonchalantly saying, "Is that so?"

The balding middle aged man just looked back at with the sa smile on his face.

Seeing this, I turned and looked at the muscular man without giving him an answer.

I could see out of the corner of my eyes that the eyes of the balding middle aged man narrowed slightly, but he also quickly restored the smile on his face.

The muscular man looked right into my eyes as I stared at him before saying, "I wish to thank you for what you've done. The demons couldn't have been easy to find and defeat. Your actions have saved many lives in our kingdom."

After he said this, he put his hands on the table and gave a slight bow.

This ti, it was my turn to be surprised since I didn't expect this muscular man to suddenly say this. But I had gotten much better at controlling my expression after everything that I had been through. So even if I was surprised by this, there was the sa calm expression on my face.

I gave a nod in response to this before turning to look at both of them again.

There was an awkward silence that filled the air once more, but no one said a single thing.

After all, no one was willing to expose their cards early.

But in the end, the balding middle aged man finally couldn't take it anymore as he opened his mouth to say sothing.

I beat him to the chase and said, "Who are the masters that you work for?"

Once again, both of them couldn't help revealing shocked looks since they never thought that I would be so direct with this.

Even the muscular man had thought that I would beat around the bush a bit instead of asking this directly.

But I knew that this was what they had expected, so I knew that it was better to be direct.

Sotis, thinking too much would make one lose sight of the overall picture.

I knew that the strategist would be his own downfall when overestimating their enemies too much.

So the best way to catch them off guard was to keep it nice and simple.

That was what was happening now.

Both the balding middle aged man and the muscular man looked at each other with strange looks before falling into silence.

Neither of them seed like they were willing to say a thing.

So it was just silent in this restaurant.
