Chapter 124: Making Trouble on Purpose

The person appearing was a middle-aged man, with a sly look, his hair tied behind in a ponytail, with his left eye covered like a pirate.

His face showed a clearly unpleasant look, and also some malicious intent towards Eric, as he approached them slowly and said,

"Dear guests please don't bully our lady staff, they are already working really hard tonight!"

Looking towards the new entrance with a clearly unpleasant expression, Eric didn't break his role, as he said in a rude voice,

"And who might you be horse-ass?"

His comment stunned the crowd as nobody expected such rudeness and arrogance in front of someone that seemed to be like an important person inside the venue.

Even the blonde-haired girl and the ponytail guy himself seemed to be startled at these words as they didn't expect such an answer.

It took a moment for the ponytail guy to recompose himself, and say in a voice with a threatening hue,

"Kid, do you know who is talking to!?"

But his words didn't have the desired effect, as Eric looked at him as if he were an idiot, and said in a confused voice,

"Why would I ask you who you are, if I already knew who you were, horse-ass genius!?"

Eric's words were rude and arrogant, but none of the people present could find anything wrong with their logic.

Even the middle-aged guy himself didn't seem to be able to find any words on how to get back at his words without telling his name, and status, as he said,

"I am Kirigaya Futo, the right hand man of the Kirigaya Patriarch. What are you scared now kid? Don't you think you should kneel in front of me and apologize right now!?"

Differently from the guy's expectations, Eric didn't seem to be impressed in the least, as he was just looking at him as if he was an idiot and said,

"I should be scared? You are someone really important? Or is your Master someone really important?

I am here giving him face, and his little dog thinks he can bark, and ask me to apologize!? This is more ridiculous than I thought.

Old Man, I thought you said that the Kirigaya Clan was inviting me to fix the problems between us, and you were guaranty for it, and as soon as I come here, there is a little dog barking in here.

It seems like you were just spewing words!"

Uncle Satoru had been staying silent all this time, observing Eric and his attitude and acting skills. This guy was clearly something and really knew how to run his mouth off.

He was a bit startled hearing Eric use him as a shield in front of the idiot who picked a fight with him, but there was nothing he could do, and he had to become a part of it.

Comparing the Kirigaya Clan, with Eric and his potential, just those potions he was supplying them were enough to make the decision clear.

To the government, and the Council of Five, the Kirigaya Clan was just a sweeping broom that cleared the dust for them, but Eric with his knowledge and his potential was their bread provider.

Not to mention that Eric was claiming that a part of the Kirigays Clan were traitors to the country and the whole world.

This didn't mean he liked Eric's strategy of involving him like this and playing with him, but that was something for later, as right now he looked towards the ponytail guy and said in a dissatisfied voice,

"Kid don't listen to any barking dog. There are some dogs who can bark because they have no teeth. Just treat them as baleful air and don't pay them any attention!"

His words clearly surprised the crowd, as they thought that Uncle Satoru was being rude and arrogant just like Eric, but he seemed to have a high post.

It wasn't their fault that they didn't recognize him, as Uncle Satoru wasn't a really famous person or someone who socialized a lot in these circles, and he had only appeared recently.

But there was no one in the high society who hadn't heard his name in the last weeks and the fact that he was a really important person to the government, even though they didn't really know his position.

The ponytail guy was clearly offended by Uncle Satoru's words, but even more for the fact that these two in front of him didn't seem to place his majestic Clan and Patriarch in their eyes.

But before he could speak and raise his voice at them, his Master, the Patriarch of the Kirigaya Clan, Kirigaya Endo himself arrived there while saying,

"Uncle Satoru, Eric, it is a great pleasure to have you attend my wedding! I am truly sorry for not being able to come and receive you personally, earlier!"

The whole crowd was already surprised to see Kirigaya Endo's presence in there, but they were shocked hearing his words.

They all thought he was there to protect his right-hand man and help him control the situation, but in fact, he was there to receive Uncle Satoru and Eric.

It took them a while to finally be able to connect the dots, and understand who this old man was, and also why Kirigaya Endo had personally come here to receive him.

As no one was bothered about Eric because they didn't even know his surname. Still, they were curious about this kid who had the backing of Uncle Satoru.

At the same time, Kirigaya Futo's face immediately changed colors, as he seemed like someone who had eaten some living worms.

He had unintentionally messed up with one of the few people he couldn't mess up with tonight, and all this for one of his target b*tches.

He had really fooked up this time, and he could just hope that Eric and Uncle Satoru didn't pay him too much attention, but it seemed like he was doomed, especially hearing Eric's next words,

"Well, we don't really mind that Patriarch, since this is your day, and you must be really busy! But please try to keep your dogs on leash, and not let them bark at your guests.

I am saying this for your own good, as they are polluting yours, and your clan's figure."

Kirigaya Endo didn't know what had happened in there before he came, but immediately one of the ladies working went by his side and explained the situation briefly.

Angered by what the ponytailed guy had done, he said in a loud voice,

"What do I tell you to do, and what do you end up doing! Immediately ask your apology and disappear from this place!"

Even though he seemed really harsh on his right-hand man, he was actually trying to lie this case off easily, with just an apology.

Uncle Satoru and Eric could clearly understand this, but Eric had already achieved his goal, and he wouldn't bother dealing with the horse-ass too much.

The only reason why he had been riling up this guy, was because this guy had been on his tail for more than a week, and always looking at him with killing intent.

He was surely sent there by Kirigaya Endo himself, but he still didn't like this guy. At the same time, he wanted to see Kirigaya Endo's approach to this.

Now that he got his answer, he just accepted this easy solution and would let it go. Even the ponytail guy seemed to have understood his fault, and immediately bowed as he said,

"Honorable guests, this one had eyes but failed to look at Mount Fuji, please be magnanimous and forgive this little one!"

Eric and Uncle Satoru didn't seem to care about his apology as they both turned towards Kirigaya Endo, as Uncle Satoru said in a calm and carefree voice,

"Let the big things become small, and the small things disappear. This is your big day young Patriarch of the Kirigaya Clan, let us not spoil it for you!

We wish you a long and happy life!"

Eric just followed his lead saying some perfunctory words as well,

"That is right, this is Kirigaya Patriarch's day and we can't spoil it just because some dogs bark.

I wish you a life full of emotions, and brightness Patriarch, just like you deserve!"

Kirigaya Endo didn't seem to mind his previous comment, as he just thanked them for their felicitation words, and invited them inside the wedding hall.

Of course, before entering inside the wedding hall, he sent someone to order the blonde-haired girl to let go of what she was doing, and go accompany Eric and Uncle Satoru for the rest of the event.

The blonde-haired woman seemed to have been expecting something like this, but she didn't mind it, especially after learning of the old man's status, and position.

Quite on the contrary, she seemed happy that a shark had taken a liking to her, this was the chance of a lifetime for her, and she wouldn't have to deal with someone like that ponytail guy.

Eric and Uncle Satoru seemed to appreciate Kirigaya Endo's gesture, as they took their seats to enjoy the party in their own way.

Eric was all the time 'observing' the ladies and trying to flirt with them, but he could feel a lot of eyes pricking on his back, and especially four pairs of them, but he didn't seem to mind or care.

Everything that happened earlier seemed to have been closed there and then, as all three of them entered inside of them with fake happy faces, and good perfunctory words.

After this displeasing incident, everything seemed to be going smoothly and there weren't any more problems as the event was processing smoothly, as it was finally the time for the ceremony…
