"Oh, Young Master Brent, let's head to the mansion first. I'll deal with those wicked servants later." Seeing that Step had no intention of making another move, Amus breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly ran to Step's side, speaking in a very flattering manner.
"Mm..." Step glanced at Amus and nodded slightly, saying, "Let's go, lead the way."
"Yes, at your command, Young Master Brent!" Amus nodded eagerly, acting like a devoted servant.
Step remained calm, gesturing for Yahan to enter the mansion as he stepped inside.
With Amus leading the way, they passed through several beautifully designed halls and soon arrived in front of a large hall.
This grand hall was entirely built from unknown white stones, its surface adorned with various exquisite relief sculptures. Additionally, numerous stone pillars supporting the hall were intricately carved with dragons and phoenixes, each of a different kind.
There were massive dragons resembling large lizards with big bellies, serpentine Divine Dragons winding gracefully, red-feathered fire phoenixes, green-feathered Qingluans, as well as mysterious birds spreading their wings and Zhuque singing.
"I didn't expect someone to be so familiar with dragons and phoenixes that they could carve various types from different eras so vividly... Truly impressive," Yahan remarked in surprise after merely glancing at the carvings on the pillars.
"This esteemed gentleman has a keen eye. This hall was designed by the most renowned master in the capital, hired at great expense by Young Master Kevin. The relief art was meticulously crafted by several sculpting masters. The cost of building this hall alone reached over a thousand Silver Kall," Amus proudly interjected, his face lighting up as if he had built the hall himself.
"Enough with the nonsense; take me to see Kevin..." Step said impatiently upon seeing Amus's smug expression, his gaze unfriendly.
"Ah..." Amus quickly realized his mistake and, upon meeting Step's extremely unfriendly eyes, hurriedly nodded and bowed. "I'll take you right away, Young Master Brent. Please follow me."
Yahan chuckled and shook his head, no longer paying attention to the reliefs as he followed Step.
Upon their arrival, a servant immediately reported to Kevin about Step's presence and exaggeratedly recounted how he had severely injured the guard at the entrance, causing Kevin's expression to darken.
Meanwhile, in the main hall of White Stone Hall, there was a lively atmosphere filled with singing and dancing, and the aroma of wine wafted through the air. The hall was already filled with two rows of seats occupied by more than ten people, creating a bustling scene as cups clinked together.
In the midst of the two rows of seats, a space was cleared where a dozen beautiful young girls dressed in light silk and thin fabric danced gracefully, each with elegant postures and charming smiles.
Bu and his companion, under the guidance of Amus, were heading towards the main hall.
Upon entering the White Stone Hall, they found it spacious and bright, with a massive glass-like roof allowing sunlight to pour in, divided by several large stone pillars that created a play of light and shadow within the hall.
Unbeknownst to Bu, at the moment he stepped into the hall, Kevin had already made up his mind to teach him a lesson.
"Esteemed guests, Brent will be arriving shortly. I initially intended to give him a warning. If he had been sensible and kept a low profile, I would have treated him with respect. However, this person is arrogant enough to injure four of my guards. Hmph... what do you think I should do about him?"
A casual voice echoed through the hall; it belonged to a young man dressed in luxurious attire, with a face as handsome as jade, lounging on an elevated seat in the center of the hall.
This young man behaved rather indecorously, reclining on the long seat while half-embracing a girl whose clothing was scant. His hands wandered over her delicate figure, causing her cheeks to flush and her demeanor to become lively.
"This person is ungrateful. Young Master Kevin kindly invited him to this banquet, yet he dares to harm others. It's utterly outrageous. Rest assured, Young Master Kevin... when he arrives, we will humiliate him thoroughly. If he still refuses to be sensible and insists on drinking when he should not, hmph... with so many of us here and Lord Borg present, we will ensure he regrets it on the spot."
The young man on the elevated seat was indeed Kevin. Shortly after his words fell, a Square-Headed, Big-Eared Man seated below him immediately spoke up. This man had shoulder-length brown curly hair and spoke in an excessively flattering tone.
When he mentioned Lord Borg, his gaze shifted towards a One-Eyed Middle-Aged Man standing beside Kevin's elevated seat, who wore a black eye patch.
As soon as the Square-Headed Man finished speaking, several other guests at their seats chimed in agreement, expressing their determination to make Brent pay for his actions while showering Kevin with compliments.
Only Borg, the One-Eyed Middle-Aged Man, remained indifferent to everyone's words; he stood quietly with an expressionless gaze throughout.
Kevin smiled slightly, his eyes revealing satisfaction as thoughts swirled in his mind. As his hands moved faster, causing the girl in his arms to gasp for breath and sweat profusely, he said: "Brent... I am aware of your protection from Sean Sterling. But do you think that just because you've latched onto someone powerful you can escape from the grasp of my Aldra Family?
Hmph... I invited you here today. If you had been obedient and compliant, that would have been fine. But you absolutely should not have harmed anyone from my residence."
Even if Uncle Hawk doesn't take action today, with Borg around, I want you to know that if you harbor rebellious thoughts, you must pay the price.
After teaching you a lesson, you will obediently participate in the Peak Showdown. With Uncle Hawk watching you from the shadows, I don't believe you would dare to defy me.
Kevin, feeling self-satisfied after imagining this scenario, burst into loud laughter. He believed that no matter how difficult Brent was, in his hands, even a tiger would have to lie down and a dragon would have to coil up. Regardless of how humiliating or unwilling they felt, they could only obediently submit and become a loyal dog of the Aldra Family.
The people in the hall had ill intentions, and at this moment, Bu and Ya Heng were gradually approaching the main hall under Amus's guidance, faintly hearing the pleasant sounds of singing and dancing.
Before long, passing through a beaded curtain, Bu and Ya Heng arrived at the main hall. The two scanned the crowd seated at the tables. Amus exchanged a glance with Kevin on the high seat and then quietly withdrew.
The appearance of Bu and Ya Heng drew the attention of several people in the hall, their gazes filled with hostility. However, Kevin laughed heartily and said, "Hahaha, Brother Brent has finally arrived! I've been waiting for you for a long time. Come, come, take a seat."
Bu directed his gaze toward the young man on the high seat who had invited him. He had noticed this young man as soon as he entered the hall and guessed his identity. However, since this young man acted casually and showed no hospitality, Bu chose to ignore him.
Next to this young man's chair stood a One-Eyed Middle-Aged Man wearing a black eye patch.
This One-Eyed Middle-Aged Man had a solemn expression and did not look away. From the energy fluctuations emanating from him, Bu sensed that this person possessed extraordinary strength.
Narrowing his eyes slightly, Bu remained motionless despite being scrutinized by many unfriendly gazes in the hall. He stared at the casually behaving young man for a while without speaking: "This person is undoubtedly Kevin. I initially thought he would be a tough character to deal with, but now it seems he is not worth my time.
Looking at his casual demeanor, it seems he doesn't regard me highly... interesting." As Bu pondered this, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
"Why... Brother Brent have yet to take a seat? Is it because you find my place too humble to your liking?" Seeing that Bu did not move after his invitation and instead stared silently at him, Kevin felt even more displeased. He immediately fixed his gaze on Bu and spoke in a low tone.
With a cold laugh, Bu ignored Kevin and instead looked around at the people seated nearby.
If others gave him some respect, Bu would respond with smiles and politeness. But if someone lacked ability yet tried to put on airs in front of him, Bu would not show any good face.
After a brief observation, Bu realized that Kevin was nothing more than a good-for-nothing, with only the meager strength of a low-level one. He was also a fool, arrogant and self-important, just like his brother Bill.
Such a person, stubborn and self-righteous, Bu did not want to confront him, but at this moment, it was becoming increasingly difficult to endure.
From the initial obstruction by the guard at the entrance to the current insincere reception, Bu Zhixiao felt that this banquet was likely a trap. No matter how he tried to avoid confrontation, it would only lead to Kevin pressing harder and taking more liberties.
Given this situation, it was better to be strong and assertive. As long as he did not truly attack Kevin and had no thoughts of seeking refuge with other forces, Hawk should not do anything to him.
Even if he had to fight back, Bu believed that in his Bloodline Transformation state, with Yuheng's assistance, he could hold on for a while until Sean Sterling arrived to rescue him.
Having been ignored twice already, Kevin was furious; this was the first time he had encountered such disrespect. He tightened his grip on the girl in his arms and looked darkly ready to speak up when the Square-Headed, Big-Eared Man jumped in first, shouting at Bu: "Hey... are you deaf or just lacking ears?
Young Master Kevin has such a noble status and is treating you with such hospitality. How dare you be so rude? Didn't your elders teach you how to behave?"
The Square-Headed, Big-Eared Man spoke with an extremely arrogant tone, insulting Bu while also disparaging his family as if he were acting as an elder reprimanding Bu Yifan.
As soon as these words left his mouth, the Square-Headed, Big-Eared Man noticed that Kevin's expression had slightly brightened. Encouraged by this, he straightened his back and looked at Bu with extreme disdain.
