Chapter 1145: Father, I Am Here

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The Gould Manor was brightly lit, and a dinner banquet was going on. The gentry wearing beautiful clothes were holding crystal glasses and talking with one another happily.

The patriarch of the Gould Family, Mr. Charney, had invited all of them to witness the completion of the three-year agreement between him and his son.

Of course, those who were close to Charney already knew he was going to use this opportunity to formally introduce his successor to them.

Everyone knew the young master of Gould Family didn’t like to do business; instead, he preferred to be a knight. He had made Charney worried for the past few years.

However, the three-year agreement was going to end tonight, and that young master who was thought to be gifted didn’t become a mid-tier knight. According to their agreement, he had to give up his dream of becoming a knight and become the successor of the Gould Family.

As one of the four major families of Chaos City, the Gould Family wielded a significant amount of influence in Chaos City. The only son’s exclusive treatment was the envy of the other noble families’ offspring who had to scheme and fight for their rights to the inheritance.

However, this Young Master Adams was a little off for trying to be a knight. He had already become a joke among the younger generation.

“Is that Young Master Adams going to be miserable today? He is going to be forced to inherit hundreds of millions of family fortune.”

“Ah. He could be saying no, but in fact he is ecstatic in his heart. There are no idiots who dislike money in this world.”

“That’s right. I heard many families want to send their young mistresses to Gould Manor. He should be very happy.”

A few young men from the powerful families had gathered together to chat and joke around. They sounded sarcastic and disdainful, but their expressions showed envy and jealousy.

Charney was very happy today. He was smiling and welcoming his guests, and even his bald head seemed to glow brighter.

His wife stood next to him and welcomed the guests with a smile too. When they were finally alone, she tugged at Charney’s sleeves, and whispered, “Master, will Adams be upset? You made it into such a big event, will he feel embarrassed and stay away?”

“Don’t worry. In his beloved knight’s codes, there is a code of integrity. He will definitely come. This is a pact between men.” Charney shook his head, not worried at all. Then, he stepped forward with a smile to shake the hand of Scheer, who had just arrived. “Thank you for coming, Miss Scheer.”

Scheer retrieved her hand, and smilingly said, “You are too kind. This interesting match is very worthwhile for me to witness it for myself.”

“The city lord has arrived!” a voice announced, and everyone lowered their voices and looked toward the entrance. They were rather shocked that Charney had even invited the city lord.

“Thank you for coming despite your busy schedule, My Lord.” Charney and his wife went forward to welcome him respectfully with bright smiles.

He had pulled out all the stops to create this big event for Adams today. However, as the successor of the Gould Family, he deserved such a big event.

“I didn’t come for you today, Charney. I came for the young knight who was caught in between taking over his family fortune and becoming a great knight. I personally support him to become an outstanding knight and protect Chaos City.” Michael laughed gregariously.

Charney was stunned for a moment, but he swiftly smiled and said, “You are his idol. He would be ecstatic if he heard you say that.”

The guests started to arrive. One man who was on good terms with Charney smilingly asked, “Charney, where’s Adams, our knight? He is our man tonight.”

“Don’t worry, he will come. He should be on his way now,” Charney answered smilingly as he gave the old butler at the side a look. The butler understood immediately as he turned and strode out.

Everyone was chatting and toasting one another happily. A banquet that had half of the most important people in Chaos City gathering together like this wasn’t common. Many came with the motive to make more friends and establish a deeper relationship with those in power.

As for witnessing the young master of Gould Family becoming the successor, it was just an act of going through the motions. His news wasn’t a secret. He hadn’t made any improvement in three years, and was already deemed someone not going to make it the mid-tier knight in this lifetime.

Of course, as the successor of a clan, he didn’t need to have strong personal power. When he took over the control of the entire Gould Family, he was still going to become one of the most powerful people in Chaos City.

The efforts he spent to become a knight would become a joke in the eyes of the majority of the people.

Smiling, a middle-aged man tapped his wine glass with Charney’s as he said, “You can retire in peace now, Charney.”

“I still have to make him understand the businesses and manage them well. It’s still a long time before I can retire.” Charney shook his head, but the smile on his face betrayed his actual feelings.

The entire banquet had a cordial mood. Everyone was waiting for Adams’ arrival to put a closure on this three-year agreement joke.

...

“Young—” The door opened just as the old butler was about to knock on it. Adams, who was wearing golden and silver bi-colored armor, came out. He even wore a big sword on his waist.

He didn’t wear his helmet, and his hair was so extremely short that he looked bald. But if one looked closely, he could still see the very fine and short hair that resembled the grass that just shot out of the ground and grew vigorously in spring.

Adams glanced at the old butler, and calmly said, “Let’s go.”

“Y-Young Master, it isn’t appropriate for you to dress like this. I have already prepared the evening wear for you earlier, why don’t you go back and change into it?” the butler said hesitantly. He had sensed that the young master looked different today, but he couldn’t pinpoint what was different.

“There’s no need to. I am not going to take part in tonight’s banquet. I am only there to fulfil my part of the three-year agreement.” Adams led the way out.

“Young Master, this is not appropriate...” The old butler butler quickly caught up. He had also finally understood why Adams looked different. He was not wearing his wig today.

Young Master’s hair has regrown! The old butler followed behind Adams and stared at the short hair that burst out of that shiny scalp agitatedly.

As an old employee that had spent his entire life in Gould Manor, he had witnessed Old Master Gould being bald his whole life, then witnessed Charney turning from a bald young man into a bald middle-aged man, and also watched Young Master Adams losing his hair at a young age.

Baldness was like a curse that was closely bound to the Gould Family.

But now!

Adams was actually regrowing his hair!

This was simply too unbelievable!

Adams stepped into the banquet hall, and loudly announced, “Father, I am here.”
