I am the descendant of a dark wizard, and I will inherit the family fortune.

Chapter 247 Dinner Party

Leon looked at the ring on his hand, his whole body filled with helplessness.

Damn, I’ve been tricked again.

The wizard's tricks were deep, and he really missed the monotonous yet rich life in the Shadow Swamp.

In the Shadow Swamp, he can change his tactics every day, and even after changing them, he can still combine them.

Today it's this orc, tomorrow it's those two humans...

Then two, three, and so on.

In short, it is really a new combination and a new experience.

But here, he can also have new experiences every day...

Really...

Every day, Dangdang is different...

Originally, he thought his "memory" was quite rich, but its application scenarios were limited and low-level. Now that he had entered a higher level, his original experience was indeed a bit out of date...

However, thinking of the "newcomers" he was about to recruit, Leon felt much more at ease.

This also made him a little anxious, and he even wondered whether he should delete Beatrice's previous soul?

Josiah saw that Leon was worried and knew that the news he brought back was not what Leon wanted, so he said a little embarrassedly: "Mr. Leon, I..."

Noticing Josiah's expression, Leon quickly shook his head, "Josiah, you can just call me Leon! Thank you very much for helping me find Miss Pawen!"

"Nothing... nothing... I'm glad I could help you..."

At this time, Graya nodded to Josiah and said, "Josiah, thank you for your hard work."

Josiah had been with Graya for a long time, so he could quickly catch her glances or any subtext, so he bowed slightly:

"Boss, I'm right over there. Call me if you need anything."

Graya waved her hand without looking back, "Go!"

Looking at Josiah's departing figure, Billie suddenly said, "I heard that Josiah is going to advance?"

Graya hummed, "I promised him that after the Academy Cup is over, I will help him advance to the first-level advanced level."

"So, based on this calculation, the strength of our Potions Club..."

Graya immediately interrupted Billie, "Shh!"

Billie also realized that it was better not to say these things, otherwise it would easily cause jealousy...

However, Billie's eyes looking at Leon also became inexplicably hot.

Others may not know Leon, but Billie and Leon know each other well, so when Billie heard the news of Beatrice Seeger's suspected death, the first person she thought of was Leon.

How can you be so brave, Junior Brother! So fierce!

But later, after careful consideration, Billie ruled out the possibility that Leon was the "criminal".

Because even though Leon is powerful, it's still impossible for him to kill Beatrice...

However, whenever Billie thought of Leon's strong physical fitness, her thoughts would be shaken a little.

Is it really not Leon?

Or... is it really related to Leon?

Thinking of this, Billie couldn't help but look at Leon a few more times.

Leon felt something was strange. To be more precise, Billie had been acting strangely today. He didn't know what she was up to.

"cough……"

Graya coughed lightly, drawing everyone's attention to herself.

"The dinner will be over in a while, so please don't go too far before it's over...

Especially you!"

When she finished speaking, Graya stared at Leon and said this.

Leon: "..."

Seeing that Leon did not agree, Graya continued: “Junior brother, just stay by my side honestly.”

But sometimes things are just that complicated.

If you don't look for trouble, trouble will find you...

Alexander thought for a moment, whispered a few words to Paidaxing, and then walked towards Leon.

However, someone found Leon before him.

Alexander smiled helplessly and returned to Paidaxing to continue enjoying the food...

"oi! Leon!"

Leon looked over when he heard the voice. Hey? Who is this?

For today's dinner, Drake wore a very exaggerated dress with hollowed-out sides and two wings extending from the back...

This style of clothing is actually not uncommon at wizard banquets.

Because some wizards advocate body modification, their clothes are also made based on the imitation of Warcraft.

By the way, he also had a special hairstyle.

It looks a bit like a cockscomb.

Leon frowned. Who was this birdman?

As a result, Leon's puzzled expression completely annoyed Drake.

What does he mean? Didn't he recognize me?!

Leon, damn you!!

Dreike took two quick steps and walked directly to Leon. "Leon, are you deliberately humiliating me? Because of Miss Bertha?"

When he got closer, Leon recognized that it was Drake...

The main reason was that his attire and hairstyle today were quite different, as if he had become a completely different person. In addition, Leon really didn't take him seriously, so he forgot about it in a blink of an eye.

Drake has a really bad temper, like a powder keg that explodes at any moment.

However, before Leon could speak, Drake took the initiative to suppress his anger.

He had to accept it, because he was afraid he would be beaten to death...

Noticing Drake's strange look, Leon turned his head and saw Billie and Graya standing behind him. Even Bridget, who had been eating just now, walked over leisurely.

Dreike swallowed his saliva and said, "Seniors... hello..."

The three of them didn’t bother to pay attention to him, and Billie even asked Leon directly: “Do you know each other?”

Leon paused and nodded, "I guess we know each other."

I can say I know her... but that doesn't mean I'm familiar with her, which is almost the same as not knowing her...

So Billie waved her hands around as if shooing away a fly.

Drake quickly retreated, but Graya could no longer suppress her curiosity.

"Junior brother, what did he just say? Bertha? If I remember correctly, Bertha is from our Potions Club, right?"

Graya didn't rest her eyes when she said this. She looked left and right, but she didn't see Bertha. Then she remembered...

Bertha was eliminated...

Graya keenly realized that there might be other relationships between Leon and Bertha. It was a pity that only the top 20 were invited to the banquet, otherwise she could ask Rogola to help her find out something.

Leon naturally wouldn't tell the truth about him and Bertha, he only said that they met in the Burbank jungle...

Time passed by minute by minute, and perhaps because Gaius's injury was indeed serious, James had not returned yet.

The atmosphere in the auditorium became increasingly depressing.

Moreover, Leon had already discovered that when they were chatting, they were clearly not standing in the center, but inexplicably, wherever they were, that place became the center...

From the time James left until now, everyone's voices had tacitly lowered by several degrees.

The originally remote corner location has become a sought-after spot. In the southwest corner, a small corner has gathered seven or eight wizards...

Graya sighed. Every time this happened, she would feel powerless from the bottom of her heart. Compared with James... the gap between her and him was still too big.

Perhaps sensing Graya's loss and helplessness, Leon smiled at her.

Graya smiled back.

"Senior, do we have to wait until James comes back?"

Graya nodded. "James is the nominal organizer, and the Sig family is also the sponsor of the banquet, so..."

Well, this is equivalent to being a financial sponsor, so you still have to do some work to save face.

……

Finally, the sound of crisp footsteps was heard.

"Da da da……"

James returned to the Great Hall with Crabbe and Gaius.

Unlike usual, this time everyone's gaze stayed on Gaianth for longer.

Gayance's limbs seemed to have returned to normal, but some of his limbs were still visibly stiff whether he was waving his arms or walking.

Overall, Guyans' injury has healed, but not completely.

Leon couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Apart from Gai Yangs himself, he knew Gai Yangs' injuries best. In such a short time, he recovered his ability to move. This was not something that an ordinary second-level potion could do.

Graya sneered, "In order to show off... you really put a lot of effort into it."

Leon was stunned for a moment, then reacted.

Strictly speaking, James had already lost.

In fact, James had already lost when Leon did not follow James's rhythm and took the initiative.

This is like a rich man and a poor man comparing their wealth in public. Everyone knows the rich man will win, but the rich man's dignity may be damaged, or even become a laughing stock...

And treating Gaius can highlight James' care for his subordinates and show his strong capital.

Look, in such a short time and with such serious injuries, I can still cure him!

So, you know how to choose, right?

This is indeed the case. With James' return, the originally weird atmosphere began to heat up again.

Moreover, a group of wizards, led by the Dueling Society, gathered around Gaius and asked about his well-being...

"Mr. Gayens! I'm so glad you're okay!"

"Gayance! My good brother! Tell me if you feel any pain!"

Gayance responded to everyone with a smile throughout the whole process, but Crabbe, who knew him well, knew that it was all forced smiles...

Rubbing his stomach calmly, Crabbe gritted his teeth.

He was hit hard by James just now because he failed to stop Gaianth, otherwise so many things would not have happened.

And Gaius was even worse off. James used a whole bottle of second-level advanced potion on him.

In fact, first-level potions can also heal his limbs, but the effect will be much slower.

James only wanted speed, so he used drastic measures directly.

The effect was remarkable. After Gaius drank the potion, Crabbe felt that he had grown a little taller...

In addition, the broken and shattered bones were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye...

Those who surrounded Guyans were concerned about him, while those who surrounded James were madly flattering him.

"Lord James, you are so kind to Mr. Gayance!"

"Lord James, I'd like to ask, what kind of potion is this, and why did it restore Gaius to his original state so quickly?"

"Haha..." James chuckled, then stretched out his hand and pressed it to make everyone stop talking.

James glanced at Leon and others in the distance, especially Leon, and James smiled at him.

Then, he responded to the crowd around him one by one...

"Junior brother, let's go."

"Ok?"

Hearing Billy say this, Leon was a little surprised, "Senior Sister, didn't you say..."

Billie interrupted him forcefully, "She didn't come back just now. If we left, it would be considered leaving without saying goodbye. But now she's back."

Leon: "..."

Graya also chimed in, "Billie is right. You guys go first."

Bridget didn’t say anything, but just stood beside Leon and gave silent support.

Leon understood what they meant, and said with a bit of a smile: "Senior Sister, don't worry, I will be fine..."

But the three women had just witnessed Leon's "brutal" side with their own eyes, and they were really worried that Leon would cause another conflict.

Leon soothed: “Don’t worry, I will never be impulsive, nor will I take the initiative to provoke.”

Just as they were thinking about it, Gai Yangs took a somewhat stiff step, squeezed out of the crowd, and slowly walked towards Leon.

And halfway through, he picked up a glass of wine.

Billie and the others wanted to stand in front of Leon, but Leon was unwilling to let women stand in front of him, except in private...

When Gai Yangs stopped three meters away from Leon, he forced a smile and said, "Mr. Leon, I was wrong about what happened earlier. Please forgive me."

As he spoke, Gaius raised the wine glass in his hand and then... drank it all in one gulp.

Leon frowned. Again?

What exactly do they want to do?

Anger yourself?

Or...test yourself?

This time, facing a similar scene, Leon couldn't figure out what the other person was thinking...

So Leon decided to play it safe.

"What happened before is in the past, so... let's move on."

Leon looked around, then used the wizard's hand to take a glass of clean red wine from a distance.

Leon didn't drink it all in one gulp. He first raised the glass, gestured to James in the distance, and then took a small sip.

Gayance gritted his teeth, a vein popping out on his forehead.

"Mr. Leon can drink a lot."

Leon chose to ignore Gayans' ability to lie with his eyes open.

Then he turned to Guyans and asked, "Mr. Guyans, when will the dinner end?

After all, you are injured, and Mr. James has used the best potion to heal you, so... you should go back and rest early!"

When James heard this, his fingers trembled uncontrollably.

Then, meeting Leon's gaze, he smiled and nodded, "Mr. Leon is really... considerate...

But that’s true, in that case… let’s end tonight’s dinner here.

By the way, as per convention, after the College Cup, the Xige Chamber of Commerce will organize an auction, and everyone can participate in the auction with an invitation letter."
