Chapter 504 Banquet for nobles (4)

After taking a moment to calm myself, I said to the noble that came late, "It's fine, it's just a good thing that you could make it."

Then I gestured to the other nobles gathered around the elves and dwarves to say, "How about you go and mingle with the others?"

When he saw everyone gathered around the elves and dwarves, his eyes immediately lit up.

Seeing the attractive elves and dwarves, he wasted no time in saying, "Thank you very much for the invitation Count Zwein. I'll be sure to properly mingle with everyone now."

Without even waiting for a response from me, he ran...no, quickly walked off to where everyone was else, leaving me alone with Rose and Haley.

As I stood there with my lips twitching, I could hear the sounds of snickering from behind me.

Even if they tried their best to hold it back, it really was hard for them after seeing me like this. My lips twitched even more and there was a small vein that popped out on my forehead, but I was able to hold myself back in the end.

Taking a deep breath, I turned around and said, "It seems that I've made a mistake. It seems that I was too tense and I was overthinking things. There's no need to make any changes to the plan and you can tell them to get ready."

Though they gave a nod in response, it was clear that they still hadn't recovered from seeing me like this.

I could still see the trembling that came from them trying to hold back their laughter.

In the end, I just chose to ignore it as I said, "Make sure that everything is ready, don't miss a single thing."

Both of them nodded before turning to leave. Witness the debut of this chapter, unveiled through Ñôv€l--B1n.

That was the moment that I chose to strike.

I suddenly came forward and leaned in to say, "Be ready for your punishment tonight."

Both of them suddenly stopped and turned to look at me with surprised looks.

But seeing the calm look on my face, almost as if I didn't say a thing, they couldn't help revealing different expressions.

Both of them...seemed to have traces of excitement appear in their eyes.

I didn't respond at all as I just let them leave like this, but I could see that from time to time, they kept looking back at me.

It was as if they were expecting something.

Though all I did was nothing to keep them in suspense.

That was the goal in bringing out the food and drinks at this time.

Meals were one of the times that people were the most unguarded. It was when they let their natural selves come out without any filter.

If one looked carefully, they could even see what kind of personality a person had just based on how they ate.

But my main goal was to let my targets relax so I could trap them.

A while after the food was brought out, I raised a glass and tinked it with a fork before saying, "Everyone, if I may have your attention. There's something that I want to announce."

Everyone immediately turned to look at me when they heard this.

Seeing that I had their attention, I said, "I'm sure that all of you are aware that I have formed a trade relationship with our dwarven friends here." At this, I gave a nod to the dwarves and Elsa gave a nod back to me.

The nobles all revealed excited looks when they heard this.

This was one of the reasons why they had all been excited to come to this banquet.

They all wanted a piece of this pie.

After that nod, I turned to Viscount Teomold and waved my hand at him for him to come over.

Viscount Teomold was surprised, but he walked over to my side with his head held up high as if this was a natural matter.

As he walked over, he even looked at Viscount Henry with a proud look as if he was taunting him.

Viscount Henry naturally revealed an ugly expression when he saw Viscount Teomold looking at him like this, but he quickly made his face calm down and acted as if he didn't react at all.

But Viscount Teomold had already seen the change in his expression and that made his smile even wider.

Seeing him walk over like this, I really couldn't help giving a cold snort of disdain.

He was like a fool that didn't even know that he was nothing more than a pig to the slaughter.

Hmm, even his face did look a bit like a pig's...

After he came over, Viscount Teomold nodded at me with a wide smile on his face.

I gave a nod back before turning to everyone to say, "I have already signed a trade agreement with Viscount Teomold to trade the ores that I will be receiving with him."

As soon as I announced this, everyone took a cold breath and looked at me with shocked looks.
