Chapter 272: Fun is short-lived
(This chapter isn"t edited yet)
When going to the restaurant, Noah had to use the car. Unfortunately blessed Rank C did not have the right to use monsters as a mount outside the residential area of ??the family they belonged to, as this could create a lot of chaos in case the blessed decide to fight, or monsters don"t get along with each other. It is known among the world for the strength of Rank D and Rank C monsters. A single Rank C monster was powerful enough to destroy an entire neighborhood on its own if it wanted to, so to avoid this, it became forbidden to walk with such powerful monsters in the city.
Of course, should an emergency situation arise, Noah won"t mind these rules and will simply call the unicorn, or just use his wings to fly over the houses.
So Noah used his car to drive to the restaurant.
Once there, just like the last time he was here, there were numerous luxury cars parked outside the restaurant.
Blessed people made a lot of money, and the higher the level of the fortress, the more money they made, so not just to have numbers go up in their bank account, the blessed liked to buy luxury cars and have fun around the city.
Noah already had over a million dollars, but he didn"t mind spending that money on cars, he already had a nice car, plus a unicorn faster than the car, and even a pair of wings to fly, this one. sort of thing would be a waste of money for him.
But he still enjoyed admiring beautiful cars as he walked down the street.
After handing his own car keys to the valet, a BMW M8 entered the parking area shortly thereafter. The car was very beautiful, and being dark blue in color, Noah found the look even more pleasing.
But when Noah saw who got out of the car, he was surprised.
"Hey, Noah? Do you drive an Aston Martin DBS? I thought you would be more of a man who drives an exotic car, like a McLaren. I prefer the cla.s.sic Aston Martin hehe." An excited female voice said as she looked at Noah"s car.
Noah didn"t know what to say, this appearance was completely different from what he was used to. This excited girl was precisely the young Healer of their invasion team!
The girl who was always shy in the fortress, and concerned about the blessed others, actually drove a BMW M8? This is the type of car that most owners are male.
As BMW cars are often focused more on performance than aesthetics, girls tend to like brands like Ferrari, Lamborghini, or other flashier brands more. Seeing the shy fortress girl talking so excitedly as she got out of a BMW M8 left Noah more than surprised.
As Noah finally broke his poker face with an expression of surprise, the girl finally understood what had happened and her cheeks turned pink with embarra.s.sment.
"That...I"m sorry..." The girl said as she used her hands to hide the embarra.s.sment on her face. "My dad is a huge car fan, so that pa.s.sion was pa.s.sed on to me. When I talk about cars I practically turn into someone else."
"Pfft..." Hearing this Noah couldn"t help but start laughing.
"Don"t laugh…I"m ashamed of that." The girl said with even more embarra.s.sment to see Noah laugh at her.
"I"m not laughing because it"s embarra.s.sing, I think it"s kind of cute. It"s beautiful to see excited people talking about their likes and dreams, don"t hide it, be proud." Noah stopped laughing and responded with a confident smile.
Hearing these words from Noah, the girl who was once so embarra.s.sed, was now a little more relieved internally, but her face turned even redder in embarra.s.sment to see Noah smiling at her so openly.
"Let"s go in, they"re waiting for us." She said as she threw the key to the valet and ran into the restaurant without looking back.
Noah saw her reaction and thought it was cute, so he kept a small smile in the corner of his face and followed the girl into the luxurious restaurant.
Upon entering the restaurant, Noah noticed that today there were even more people there, to the point where there was not even a table left.
"Noah! Finally our young prodigy has arrived! And he still came with our little fairy? You"re the same age, is something going on between you?" The bearded man stood up and greeted Noah as he made a joke.
This joke made the other blessed laugh while the young healer was even more embarra.s.sed about it. But no one cared, their current mood was one of festivity, they gained today the equivalent of three work forts, which was reason to celebrate a lot.
When Noah sat down, each of the blessed poured a gla.s.s of drink for him, for them to drink together and toast that this blessed young man had joined them in today"s fortress, as they knew that this reward for all would not happen if Noah was not there, and quite possibly someone could have died in the fortress, with many others wounded.
Noah accepted every freebie, as socializing was essential for everyone. Noah noticed that among these people there were several different personalities, some quiet and cold like the archer of the group, some quiet and shy like the young healer of the team, and noisy people like the bearded man, but there was something in common between them all. Apparently everyone there was good people, unprejudiced and willing to talk equally with anyone, from the waiter who served them, or the most powerful blessed they could find.
Noah even found out during this lunch that the 24-year-old team leader was actually the nephew of one of the Khan family elders, but because he has only one Rank C blessing, he doesn"t like to get too much attention, or stay comparing himself with other young people.
In the Khan family there are few B-rank blesseds, and most of them are blessed who were born into the Khan family and develop from there, largely belonging to the families of the Elders of the family.
And seeing how the leader didn"t like to brag or depend on his uncle"s name made Noah respect the young man even more.
Even though he only had one Rank C blessing, he could consume enough essences to match up with the Rank B Fake blesseds, so it wouldn"t be something to be ashamed of in the future, he would just need to survive several invasions and slowly develop. It was a more dangerous path, but it also had many benefits.
Unfortunately there was a saying among the blessed that it was. "Disgrace lasts for a long time, while happiness lasts for a little while." What referred to their life inside fortresses.
But at that moment this saying also took effect, as while they were laughing and having fun, a group of people approached their table.
