Xiao Hua was surprised.
She glanced at Fenriri, who laid weakly on the ground pitifully with puffed cheeks that seemed to threaten to throw up all the food she ate.
Xiao Hua gave her a few pokes to see if she was alive before she heard a soft cry for help.
"Uuu… Master… Help… me…"
"Wah—she's so pitiful. Please help her, Boss!"
Xiao Hua quickly requested after feeling guilty for putting the girl in such a situation.
However, her request was unneeded as Albion did not intend for Fenriri to suffer for long before grabbing her hand and resume his channel of innate energy again.
Even so, Fenriri's dragon-helmet-like mask fell off before her wolf ears were exposed in the process for all to see.
"Uwah—a wolf-girl!"
Xiao Hua's eyes lit up immediately before she chirped around Fenriri, wanting to give her a head pat and feel her fluffy ears.
Throughout the entire exchange, the countless guests remained in their kneeling positions silently without a word of complaint.
Some of them had thrown disrespectful remarks at the Lord.
It was already a good thing if the Dark Lord does not suddenly single them out and execute them on the spot—considering the Dark Lord's notorious and ruthless nature in the past.
"Arise."
Feeling that the guests have knelt long enough, Albion finally pardoned them before they quickly stood up graciously.
"Thank you, my Lord!"
"Thank you, my Lord!"
If it was not because some people he knew were among the kneeling crowd, he would have definitely made them knelt longer for disturbing his meal.
Nevertheless, Albion eventually waved his hand nonchalantly, "Alright, go back to partying and eating. There's so much good food around. Don't let it go cold.
"My Lord, isn't it about time you reveal your face for them to see? I'm sure that everyone is very curious and dying to become familiar with your appearance, lest they unknowingly offend you in the future," Polemos mentioned.
The guests immediately nodded their heads vigorously in agreement upon hearing Polemos's suggestion.
"Very well," Albion nodded.
Shortly after, he stood up from his seat to face the crowd before he spoke in a clear resounding volume, "Alright, take a good look at the face of the lord you have been serving, still serving, and will continue to serve until death."
"Burn the image into your mind, and remember it well. Because there won't be a second chance if you mistakenly offend me in the future!"
"Yes, my Lord!"
Crack…!
The sound of shattered glasses was heard once again shortly after Albion removed his red oni mask completely for the crowd to see.
Klein Seymour, Eleanor Seymour, and Xiao Qing all gaped in shock with wide eyes from their distant tables as they dropped their wine glasses.
That face…! They know that face!
What a great surprise!
"Qing-er, the Dark Lord turns out to be quite a handsome young man, huh? Were you shocked that it causes you to drop your glass?" Old Xiao teased with a soft chuckled before he said, "Not surprising, though. With that kind of face, ladies will swoon over him."
"W-What are you saying, grandpa? That's not it!" Xiao Qing blushed from her grandfather's teasing before she quickly said, "I know that person! That's our neighbor, Young Master Albion, who lives in the hilltop mansion!"
"Grandpa should have met the person once at Grandpa David's birthday party before all hell broke loose, don't you remember? No wonder Xiao Hua is hanging over there… She must have found out early! She really knows how to make one worry…"
"Was there such a person? Hmm, no wonder he looked a bit familiar… he just seems to be missing a bit of…hair?" Old Xiao said with doubt.
"Mm, mm. Young Master Albion definitely had more hair last time we met," Xiao Qing nodded.
…
At the Seymour family's table, Old David gave his son and granddaughter a glance each before he asked with surprise, "What's wrong with you two?"
"Father, isn't that Young Master Albion?" Eleanor Seymour tapped Klein Seymour on the shoulder and asked while her eyes remained glued on Albion's face in the distance.
No matter how many times she blinked, Albion's face did not change.
"That definitely looks like him…" Klein Seymour muttered with an incredulous look before he suddenly felt pain in his waist before he exclaimed, "Argh, why are you pinching your father?!"
"Ah?!" Eleanor glanced down in shock before she chuckled awkwardly, "I was just checking if I was dreaming or not…"
"Then pinch yourself! Why do you need to pinch me?!" Klein Seymour found his daughter's excuse ridiculous.
Still, to think that Young Master Albion was the Dark Lord.
For some reason, he did not find it surprising. But, even so, it did not make it any less shocking when he actually found out.
"I heard the Dark Lord has been single all his life…" Klein Seymour mentioned with a thoughtful while glancing at his daughter.
However, Eleanor Seymour shot him a look and spat, "What are you trying to say exactly, father?"
"Ahem, nothing…" Klein Seymour coughed dryly.
Shortly after, he was bumped by another person in an owl mask before the person started speaking like he was very familiar with Klein Seymour.
"Klein, you seem to be quite familiar with the Dark Lord? Did you know the Dark Lord before this?" The owl-masked man scrutinized Albion's figure in the distance.
He expected the True Immortal to look extremely powerful.
However, the True Immortal looked no different to any other ordinary human, albeit with extraordinary handsomeness and baldness.
'Is this the cost of great strength? I should jot this down for reference to my research…' the owl-masked man mused.
"Quinn, huh? So you came after all, huh? I thought you'd be chasing robots or something." Klein Seymour quickly recognized his good friend's voice before he nodded, "That's right. Young Master Albion has been a great help to my family. He is our savior and benefactor."
Suddenly, Klein Seymour thought of something and added, "Since Young Master Albion is the Dark Lord, I suppose it is alright to tell you that he is the divine dragon you were looking for."
"What divine dragon?" Quinn Richmond raised an eyebrow and wondered what on earth his friend was talking about.
Klein Seymour was taken aback before he shook his head and said wryly, "…Forget it. If you know, you know. If you don't, then you don't."
