Chapter 280 Banquet

Longwa Empire, Marquis of Oak.

Aiken is a planet with rich species. The native intelligent creatures have been completely exterminated by the Oak family. Only the most primitive ecological environment is preserved, and it has been turned into a resort for family members.

The northern hemisphere of this planet is a vast Gobi desert with few oases, but there is a beautiful lake called Zasak Lake.

It means "the master's lake", because the vast and lush orange forests and poplar-like plants on the lakeside are full of this oasis.

This is the exclusive private hunting ground of Perosa, the eldest son of the current marquis.

Although Perosa has not been conferred a title and has never owned a fief, no one in the Oak family or even the entire aristocratic class dares to despise him.

Perosa relies not only on his status as the heir of the Oak family, but more on his own tyrannical strength.

Half a year ago, when he was only 22 years old, he had already ignited the divine fire and achieved a god.

Not only did he become the youngest god of this generation in the Longwa Empire, but he also defeated the gods at the peak of the demigod stage.

His future is limitless!

Lake Zasak and the Black Stone Castle on the lakeside are the rewards given to him by the family's true god ancestor.

Without Perosa's consent, even his father, the Marquis, cannot enter without permission.

After all, the Marquis changes, but the true god remains.

The potential seeds of the Oak family may not enjoy less privileges and status than the Marquis.

Perosa's father really saw no hope of becoming a true god, so he chose to take over the Marquis and devote more energy to family affairs.

As night fell, the lights of the Black Stone Castle were lit and the banquet began.

This grand banquet has been prepared for half a year. The invited guests are all potential seeds of the top families of Longwa, all young people of the new generation.

In name, it was to celebrate Perosa's lighting of the divine fire, but in reality, it was to use this as an excuse to show the strength and influence of the new generation of the Oak family to other nobles.

Except for the princes of the empire, they were unable to come in person to congratulate due to their status.

The potential seeds of other top families, whether they had a good or bad relationship with Perosa, would give face after receiving the invitation letter.

They each boarded their own private starships and gathered from various star regions of the Longwa Empire.

They obviously calculated the time well, and arrived almost at the same time recently regardless of the distance.

At the banquet, all the guests had gentle and humble smiles on their faces, holding wine glasses to communicate with others.

Their manners, expressions, and even their frowns and smiles seemed to be carved out of the same mold, but they were not deliberately artificial.

The elite education they received had already engraved this damn aristocratic etiquette into the depths of their consciousness and became instinct.

Among the many polite guests, Nalain, who has always been independent, was even more eye-catching.

He was seen shaking his goblet and walking in a zigzag step, walking in front of Perosa who was chatting and laughing with others, and interrupted their conversation very rudely.

"Hey, Perosa."

"I heard that your Oak family encountered a lot of trouble in the 'cradle'."

Nalain's loud voice immediately attracted the attention of people in the entire banquet hall.

Many guests had a glimmer of gloating in their eyes, but they quickly covered it up.

There is no impenetrable wall in this world.

Especially the intelligence network of the top families, even how many times the emperor went a night and how long each time.

In the cradle resource well, the outer circle actual control area where the Oak family constantly claimed sovereignty was turned upside down by two human demigods.

The Oak family even sent out their gods, but after a full year and a half, they still hadn't caught the man. Instead, they were kidnapped by dozens of their demigods during the pursuit.

Although a year and a half in the world of the gods is only a few days in the real world.

But many top families had already spread the news, but they were all secretly laughing at their jokes.

Only Nalain would expose the shortcomings of the Oak family in public at this banquet, which was a slap in the face.

Perosa's eyes trembled slightly, but he still had that stereotyped smile on his face.

"Yes, I did run into some trouble."

"It's a pity that I have already ignited the divine fire and cannot attack in the outer circle. I was just thinking of asking you to help me teach those two demigods a lesson."

Perosa looked at Nalain and said slowly with praise: "I believe that in the outer circle now, no one can be your opponent."

Nalain seemed not to hear the hidden meaning of Perosa's words, and laughed loudly: "Okay, if your demigods can't deal with them, just ask me for help."

"Hey, in fact, if you ask me, your family is short of manpower."

"You can open some areas and let the demigods of other families enter to help you deal with those two human beings."

When Nalain said this, his tone was sincere and he still looked carefree, but Perosa felt the taste of provocation from his smile.

Perosa raised his eyebrows and chuckled without any change in his expression: "Oh? Does this mean you represent the Perrin family?"

"Huh?"

Nalain was surprised, and then he seemed to have just realized it, waved his hand and laughed:

"Haha, how can I represent the family? I haven't even lit the divine fire, I can't compare with you, I can't even represent myself."

"Hey, I just said it casually, I don't mean anything else, if I offend you, then I apologize."

"So, you guys just like to understand blindly, and it's really boring to chat with you!"

Nalain raised his neck and drank the red wine in the glass.

After putting down the wine glass, he burped unceremoniously: "This wine is quite good. Today is not in vain."

After saying that, he turned around without even saying hello, waved with his back to everyone, and then left the banquet hall on his own.

Everyone present looked at his swaying back with different expressions.

Some are scornful, some are ridiculing, and some are thoughtful...

"Heh, he's an interesting guy."

Perosa narrowed his eyes slightly and watched Nalain leave without changing the smile on his face.

After this small episode, the banquet became lively again.

Everyone was chatting and laughing, modest and polite, and the scene was extremely harmonious.

At the star port, a starship with the Perrin family emblem was slowly leaving the port.

"Tsk, tsk, what a tough guy!"

Narain looked through the porthole at the brightly lit towering castle and couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Send a message to that waste and tell him that I can provide him with more resources to quickly restore his divine realm. I can even help him ignite the divine fire and become a god."

Narain withdrew his gaze, closed his eyelids, leaned back on the generous chair, and continued to speak softly:

"But he needs to understand that there will be no next time!"

"The Perrin family doesn't accept waste, and my resources are not that easy to get."

As Nalain finished speaking, a cold-toned response came from the dark corner of the cockpit.

"Yes, I will make him understand."
