“What?!” shrieked Fiona upon hearing what Sharon had said. “How’s that possible? Miss Sharon, have you gotten some things mixed up here? The four powerful clans that had hordes of men, together with the Wilson family, were overturned by Fane?”
Fane stood, petrified and flabbergasted. If he let Sharon continue to run her mouth, his identity would be exposed for sure.
Sharon frowned and said, “There… There’s no actual evidence, so I think so...? My father told me about it!”
Fane laughed and said calmly, “I thank you for your concern, Miss Sharon, but you must’ve made a mistake here. How can I accomplish such a feat? The only person here who can do that would only be Skyler Celestino, an eight-star King of War!”
He immediately changed the subject as he spoke, “Quick, bring some utensils for Miss Sharon. Since you’re here, come eat and drink with us!”
Sharon smiled. “Oh my, King of War Celestino is also here. If that’s the case, I’d accept this with great honor!”
“That’s for sure, Miss Sharon. Don’t hesitate the next time you feel like coming over. Just treat this place like it’s yours, alright?” Fiona felt utterly pleased at that moment, though she wondered what had happened as important people like King of War Skyler Celestino and Sharon George visited them in their residence.
“Really? Haha! Then I’ll definitely come and hang out when I’m free!” Sharon laughed and secretly glanced at Fane, her face red due to shyness.
Fiona had high hopes that Fane would marry Sharon, since their family would amass quite the wealth from their marriage.
“This time, they must’ve offended someone they couldn’t afford to, thus resulting in their ultimate downfall,” commented Skyler as he helped Fane smooth things over. “There are so many small and big powers in this world. It’s normal for powers to grow and for some to disappear. Normal occurrences, nothing new.”
“Yes, that’s right. Come, let’s all enjoy our drinks. We’re lucky that King of War Celestino granted us a visit and is drinking with us here at our house!” Fane raised his wine glass, and everybody started drinking again.
It was only after a few glasses did Skyler asked, “By the way, how’s the preparation for Miss Selena’s birthday party? There are only six days left. I'll be sure to attend to have a drink or two!”
“Everything is prepared. We welcome King of War Celestino if you can attend the party!”
