Chapter 95: There Were So Many People Outside Just Now

As the beloved declaration event began, many young couples, swept up in the moment, rushed onto the stage, uttering the most naive declarations of love, instantly livening up the atmosphere.

Dick was not in a hurry to take Xiao Nai onto the stage. After all, appearing last would leave the deepest impression.

The young people who came on stage earlier were all just participating for the sake of it; there were no truly memorable moments.

Dick had been observing carefully the entire time, not only watching the competing couples on stage but also the reactions of the audience below.

He quickly found some important points for extra credit.

The declarations of love should be as sappy as possible, and the beloved declarations should be as passionate as possible.

In short, this was a performance. The more dramatic the script, the deeper the audience's impression, and they would naturally cast their votes for you.

After watching for an hour, Dick showed a confident smile. Tonight, he would definitely drink that bottle of ten-thousand-year-old fine wine!

"Dick, aren't we going up yet? The beloved declaration event is already coming to an end."

Listening to Xiao Nai's somewhat impatient urging, Dick nodded lightly, preparing to go on stage and begin his performance.

But just as Dick stood up, Jack from the neighboring table seized the opportunity and, holding Duke Stu's hand, was the first to stand up.

"Dick Grudia, this time, I will definitely not lose to you again!"

As he passed Dick's table, Jack deliberately lowered his voice, uttering harsh words, looking full of fighting spirit.

Hearing this, Dick instinctively frowned but didn't say anything, merely waving his hand, politely signaling Jack to go on stage first.

"Dick, who is he?" Before Jack had walked far, Xiao Nai couldn't help but ask.

"Don't know him."

Such a casual answer made Jack Stunned for a moment (pause for a moment). He immediately turned back and glared at Dick, but all he saw was awkward disregard.

This situation made Jack feel incredibly frustrated. He had always considered Dick a competitor, fantasizing about the day he would defeat Dick during his nightly training.

He never expected that in Dick's mind, he was just a complete stranger.

"Damn it..."

Jack clenched his fists, muttering softly, "Dick Grudia, one day, I will earn your recognition and let you know the power of the Ancient God Mind Flow!"

Dick's ears were sensitive, and even with the noise of the restaurant, he heard Jack's words clearly, but he just smiled and didn't speak.

Of course, Dick remembered this successor of the Ancient God Mind Flow, and he even had a deep impression, as this was the nineteenth-ranked swordsmanship school in the world.

Dick even knew Jack's identity information by heart.

The reason he said he didn't know him just now was merely to disturb his state of mind, as it was just a matter of convenience.

"Duke, please allow me to boldly declare my beloved to you here..."

On the stage, Jack was full of emotion, holding Duke Stu's hand and loudly proposing.

Unlike everyone before them, Jack and Duke Stu had a relationship of male companion and master, not equals in a relationship.

But precisely because of the huge disparity in their statuses, the audience below reacted enthusiastically, with constant whistling. Everyone was eager to see the spectacle, wanting to see if Jack could successfully rise in status.

It's important to know that Duke Stu was a married woman, and Jack wasn't her only male companion; she was a typical free-spirited noblewoman in the Royal Capital.

However, whether influenced by the atmosphere or because Jack was truly capable, Duke Stu actually agreed to unite with Jack.

This was simply a huge source of entertainment. A dignified Duke was actually going to marry a commoner, and the atmosphere on the scene was instantly pushed to its climax.

Dick was somewhat speechless, not expecting this Jack to be such a strong competitor, despite his terrible acting skills.

Even Xiao Nai beside him was whistling, congratulating Jack and Duke Stu on their beloved, as she also liked couples with such a huge contrast.

Dick felt pressure, but not much, because he had completely figured out the audience's psychology.

Isn't it just that they like to see entertainment?

Alright, alright, I, Dick, will give you a huge spectacle later!

"Are there any more couples who want to come on stage to declare their beloved?"

The event had reached its end. It was at this moment that Dick slowly stood up, holding, no, rather, carrying Xiao Nai as he walked slowly onto the stage.

This unique way of entering was the first of its kind tonight.

Xiao Nai's face was slightly red, her eyes darting around, looking very nervous.

This was her natural reaction, as she hadn't rehearsed before, and this was exactly the effect Dick wanted.

Many women came on stage tonight, but very few were pure maidens, and Xiao Nai's shy reaction was a huge plus point.

"Ancestral Emperor Amyria once said that love is an extension of carnal desire; the great God of Love also said that love is a momentary impulse, requiring no reason..."

Dick quoted from classics, like a bard, pouring out his love for Xiao Nai in a beautiful song, captivating the audience below.

"I know, you were promised to another man by your family long ago, I shouldn't destroy the sanctity of marriage..."

"I know, you are my most adorable adopted sister, I should have protected you like a brother..."

"I know, your husband has always had his eye on me, and I haven't guarded my rear door well..."

Dick immediately started making up stories, adding all the melodramatic elements from various storybooks.

Love triangles, forbidden sibling love, cheating with swordsmanship... everything was included.

The audience below erupted. They had never seen such an outrageous love story, not even the best-selling picture books in the Royal Capital could come up with such a melodramatic tale.

Xiao Nai was completely bewildered. She had no idea that her story with Dick was so exciting, and Jack in the audience had his mouth wide open the entire time.

Dick's words were truly shocking. If a picture book title were to be made, it would be: "Super Forbidden! Deformed Triangle: I Fell in Love with My Married Adopted Sister, Then Was Forcibly Loved by Her Domineering Husband!"

"At this time, at this place, at this moment, I can no longer suppress the desires in my heart. Please allow me to steal your kiss."

Dick and Xiao Nai were the last couple to declare their beloved. After they left the stage, no one else came up.

Without a doubt, ninety percent of the people present cast their votes for Dick and Xiao Nai, for this rare forbidden love story.

After the banquet ended, surrounded by a group of servants, Enzeer, holding the bottle of beloved, walked out slowly with a complex expression.

He had listened to Dick's fabrications the entire time.

"Dick Grudia, if I didn't know you, I would probably have believed the story you made up. At such a young age, you're full of lies, truly..."

Listening to Enzeer's scolding, Dick wore a smile, and after a while, he said slowly, "But I followed the rules, and I am the winner of the event."

"Hmph! I know, of course I know. I, the dignified Grand Duke of Wine Collection, will not go back on my word!"

Just as Enzeer was about to pull out the cork and pour the wine, Dick suddenly said, "Actually, I'm also very interested in another bottle of black wine you have in your collection."

Enzeer was stunned for a moment, but upon hearing 'black wine', he immediately understood that Dick was referring to first snow.

This bottle of wine was very sensitive now, and Enzeer didn't dare to take it out publicly, especially since Cooper had been looking for it.

As the president of the Royal Capital Forging Association, Cooper had a lot of influence. If he were to make a fuss, Enzeer would have to obediently return the wine.

But that bottle of first snow was secretly bought from the black market, and only he knew about the entire process. How did this Dick know?

"I don't know what you're talking about..."

Hearing this, Dick shook his head and chuckled lightly, turning sideways to show Enzeer the wizard token in his inner robe pocket.

In an instant, Enzeer saw the three purple glowing six-pointed stars, and his face immediately froze, his eyes revealing disbelief.

But soon, Enzeer's expression returned to normal, and he looked at Dick, saying, "You little brat, you're really greedy."

"I hope the Duke can grant me this small request."

"Hmph, come with me."

With that, Enzeer led Dick towards the underground wine cellar.

After the two left, the group of servants exchanged glances. When did their master become so generous?

It was known that even members of the Royal Family couldn't easily enter the underground wine cellar. Enzeer had a bad temper and a lot of rules.

...

Ten minutes later, Enzeer brought Dick to the underground wine cellar, then immediately closed the door and activated the soundproofing barrier.

"Respected three-star cadre, I am the business liaison for the Royal Capital branch of the Wizard Association..."

Enzeer looked fearful, trembling as he looked at Dick and said, "There were so many people outside just now, I'll kneel before you here."
