Chapter 17 - Gala (3)

Azarel glanced at his father that was currently introducing a set of seven watches. Each has a design that would increase men's charms

The watches are limited edition and only a single authentic copy was circulated

As expected, these crazy rich bastards were fighting for them just to flaunt their wealth and status

Even then, Azarel doesn't despise them. In terms of arrogance and thinking highly of oneself, he also wouldn't lose out

While the auction is still in the process is the best time to start his show. After all, while the auction is still ongoing, all eyes are locked on the platform and Azael has all the spotlight

With a grin, Azarel glanced at one of the security guards that was a woman. Even in this event, Azael didn't hire any male worker as he feared that his homosexual son would seduce them

If Azarel was seen doing the deed in the Gala, wouldn't Azael lose a great deal of face?

Unfortunately for him, if the guards are kt available then there are still the guests

Azarel gave a signal to that security guard that talked in her earpiece

After that, it only took a few moments before all the lights went out

The guests murmured with each other in surprise

The Lancaster Family is a family business magnate. They could use as much electricity as they want since their business mainly involves oil

Since Azael was still speaking, it wasn't possible for this large Manor to have a blackout, right?

Indeed, that is not possible as the blackout didn't last for a long time

It's just that, only a single light remained that fell into the platform

Earlier, Azael and the servants holding the watches were in there. But now, it was only Azael and Azarel

The older man's eyes darkened as soon as he saw what happened. He knew his son well and he already anticipated that something is going to happen tonight as a form of Azarel's rebellion

Even then, his son seems to have still managed to successfully make a scene

"Hello, my Dear Father!" Azarel greeted with a smile and the audience's murmurs turned louder

Almost everyone that knows the Lancaster Family is aware of the relationship between this father and son duo

As such, they were waiting for what Azarel would do to anger his father for the nth time

"What are you doing?!" The old man questioned, anger visible in his low tone as if he wants his words to be heard only by his son

However, no matter how much anger he shows, Azarel still would not stop

In a rude manner, Azarel snatched the mic his father was holding before ignoring him

"Good evening to everyone especially to our handsome gentlemen that looks so dashing they seem to have come here to seduce me" Azarel greeted with a wink

His joking manner made the audience laugh

Most of the rich also despise gays although a lot of them also participates in homosexual acts

They should have been filled with disdain for Azarel but he was 'different' from most gays

To be simple, Azarel when it comes to speeches was more to their liking compared to his old fashioned father who bored them

After all, Azael is like the textbook copy of a rich and inflexible businessman while his son although arrogant 99% of the time still knows how to humor people if he wants to

"I know that most of you are already bored at my old man. I mean come on, jewelries, watches, tobaccos, or whatever. His items are always the same. Who wouldn't get bored of that?" He spoke with a criticizing tone and the anger in Azael's eyes increases

"Oh please, I'm just joking, don't look at me like that" Azarel said after seeing his father's glare

However, he also winked at the audience as if he was a joking clown and that made them chuckle

"Anyway, although I stand here, tonight, I only want a bit of the spotlight. I am actually not the star"

Hearing that, the audience's ears perk up. With the years that Azarel spends angering his father, the audiences that know him are anticipating what his tricks this time was

"The real priceless treasure tonight would be..." Azarel trailed and a drum roll sound rang around

Soon, the chandeliers and other light sources were turned on again and the door was aggressively pushed open

The platform was near the ridiculously large door of the Manor and everyone looked at the people that suddenly entered and almost all of them blinked their eyes repeatedly

From the door emerged several people. However, most of them are only there as background/supporting characters

Only one of these people are actually eyecatching

It was a man in his twenties wearing a formal suit that none of them would ever wear

It was just too ridiculous looking as if the wearer wants to make himself look as rich as he can even though he wasn't

In the man's side were two people in black as if they were some special agents that are protecting a VIP

In their hands were baskets filled with money

The 'agents' took some of the dollar bills and scattered them into the ground where Evren would walk

The man enjoyed basking in the limelight despite wanting to tear his attire

His heart also aches for the money his guards are throwing in the place where he would step on

As such, he breaks his character a bit as he whispered to his guards

"Pick all the money later and give it to me. Don't dare pocket even a single dollar or I'll have your boss fire you" Evren said

Although his voice wasn't loud but his arrival still made the Manor quieter

As such, a lot of audiences heard him and they wondered who was this stingy person

After all, isn't that just a basket of money? Which of the guests can't fill several baskets with money just for the sake of wasting them?
