Chapter 126: The banquet

But to be honest, it was normal. Even on earth, things like that were happening. There was an invisible wall that divided the rich and poor. Although not all, it was a common occurrence.

These people who seemed to be noble families of the empire were on the right side of the grand hall, while the commoners were on the left side. In the middle was a long red cloth. In particular, it was a red carpet that connected the towering door to the stairs. Two stairs that mirrored each other were connected in the middle, and they were leading to the second floor of the grand hall if he presumed.

"Let's go—'' Aunt Claire beckoned to them when she saw a vacant space in the left corner, but she paused when she remembered about Sol.

Seeing Aunt Claire's skeptical face, "She will be fine with us." Yeman immediately added in which they saw Sol nodding her head.

Aunt Claire was a little surprised that this young noble lady wasn't the type to disdain the commoners. Well, it wasn't like all nobles were looking at the commoners with disdain, there are some too who look at them equally.

"Ohohoho! I heard a young subjugator did so well in the recent subjugation mission. The emperor will subject him or her with a rich reward." An elegantly dressed woman spoke with a laugh to the other same elegantly dressed woman beside her.

Her voice was a little bit unrestrained and reached many ears inside the grand hall. Even Yeman and the others were able to hear it. It suddenly caused an uproar to most of the curious guests.

"A young man?"

"Yes, based on what I heard, that person was the cause of the mission's success."

"Oh really? That's surprising."

"Ufufufu looks like the empires are blessed with new talented young people."

"Exactly."

"However, who could it be?"

"Wait, weren't there many young members from the great families who joined that mission?"

"Yeah, and probably one of them was that person."

"I bet it was the young man from one of the branches of the Gentlewind Family."

"Oh, that Jura from the Grenn family?"

"Yes, I heard he's not only a talented young man but also a handsome person."

"Right. I wish to marry my daughter to him."

"Fufufu, sorry about that, but my Annabelle is much deserving to marry him in the future."

"My, Anastasia is also a fine lady."

The two elegantly dressed women were conversing about engaging their daughters with Jura. After all, Jura was a fine man and came from a great noble family, and he was blessed with a good appearance. Such a person would naturally become popular with girls.

Suddenly, another woman joined in their chats. "Wait, I also heard that some young ladies from the 5th and 3rd strongest families were there in that subjugation group, as well."

"Could it be one of them?"

"Perhaps."

"And also that young woman named Mayu was also there, right?"

"Hmm, right. Although their family wasn't from one of the great families of the empire this year, no doubt that she was a talented person as well, and their family could not belittle."

Yeman and the others suddenly heard some chatter. They were merely talking about a person. But Yeman and the others weren't a bit interested in it.

They were about to proceed from the back when. "look who we have here, isn't he the person who took advantage of Miss Mayu's kindness just to be a part of their success?"

"Hahaha, hey Jura bro, are we seeing a worm in this banquet, or did my eyes deceive me?" One of Jura's friends laughed.

"No, Jacob, we are seeing the same worm. It's just that the worm I'm seeing is the freakiest worm in the empire." Another young man added.

Puffft! Hahaha! The group laughed.

"....."

Their voice was strong enough for Yeman and the others to hear. Out of reflex, Yeman glanced at the back and saw the blonde guy that he met in the mission. It was the guy together with that pretty girl with golden hair color.

And based on his tone, it looks like he was talking to him. Yeman raised a brow and scoffed. He knew that this person had no idea what he was talking about.

Regardless, it looked like these people had some issues with the former host of his body. It was easy for Yeman to guess just based on how they showed their attitude towards him.

But for Yeman who was 20+ years old already, he was looking at them like looking at the group of spoiled brats.

Right now, there are 4 of them, three men and one woman. He could not spot the golden-haired girl who was with them that time in the subjugation mission.

And the person in front, if he remembered correctly, this guy named Jura.

Yeman turned and faced them. "Oh, who are you?" He asked. Although he remembered this person's name, he had to act according to his plan. He was an amnesiac man after all. Then he added, "Regardless, is there a problem with it?" He asked with a scoff.

Seeing the slight mocking smile on his face, Jura squinted his eyes and twitched his brow. He didn't expect such an arrogant reply coming from this person.

And what the hell this man was talking about? Acting like he didn't know him? There's no better joke than this person. Jura thought so. Then he laughed. "Haha!"

"Being rejected in the public causes you to lose your brain right?"

Yeman blinks his eyes from Jura's words. 'What the heck?!' He exclaimed in mind. He could not believe this person was like a kid who was throwing tantrums. His 

words didn't make sense at all.

It wasn't even a good rebut if he planned to taunt him. It was an epic fail! Especially that he wasn't the person who was rejected. Although he was in the body of that person, he wasn't a bit affected by such a taunt.

Yeman chuckled. "Oh, you mean that?" After saying it, he glanced at the person behind him.

Jura and the others widened their eyes when they saw an exquisite lady behind him.
