Chapter 121 Invitation

"Seems the Wony family… is a bit desperate," I muttered with a psychotic smile that caused the girl to fall back onto her butt.

It kind of slipped out due to my overwhelming excitement, and even my friends around me gulped a large drop of saliva due to the nerves.

"It's not a proposal, is it? It's more like you're begging us, just a few kids from the slums to help you… how pitiful," I whispered into the girl's ears, and my smile was so large that it practically touched the bottom of my ears.

"*sigh*... You're right. We're essentially trying to hire you, and we'll be sure to take care of you. Just please… come with me. The old man will be very disappointed in me if you don't come," The girl said as she got on her knees and lowered her head.

"Arghhh… This is so fucking pitiful. Alright, we'll help you so get off your knees and lead the way, princess," Aisa said as she picked the girl up by her armpits.

The other two looked at me for confirmation, but I just shrugged because it's not like I care whether we get involved with them or not.

They're going to fall eventually, and either I can help speed it up or use them to deal just enough damage to the other families for me to have a smoother time.

So, either I take out a hard target right now or make my life easier later on…

There were tons of risks with both options, but I decided to come to a conclusion later as I felt obtaining more information was necessary right now.

After walking through the city for about half a day and taking multiple pit stops due to Aisa's complaints, we finally arrived at a massive mansion that looked pretty similar to the Bonebloom one.

But when I arrived inside, I noticed it had some type of spacial magic placed on it as the inside was like a royal palace.

Quartz pillars, large patios with cleanly kept gardens, servants were running about, and tons of other children from the Wony family stalked us.

"If they pick on you, don't do anything, please. You'll end up being their target or bitch for the rest of your life… some of them are really strong," The girl said as we passed by two teenagers about as old as us.

"That sounds fun," Cy smirked before giving the two teenagers the middle finger.

"Hey! Guests like you should know your place!" One of them shouted, and when they grabbed Cy's shoulder, he grabbed his fingers and twisted them.

"What is this? Strong? Where is the strength? Huh…" Cy muttered as he lowered himself to the boys kneeling level and pinched the end of his nose.

Soon, he let the two of them run off with their tails between their legs before we continued down to the opposite end of the mansion, where we stopped in front of a pair of large wooden doors.

"Before we enter, I must confirm something with the head of the family. He might want you all to enter one at a time," The girl said before quickly entering the room and leaving us outside.

"Were you trying to make the boy fall in love with you or something? I've never seen somebody pinch the end of somebody's nose before," Findir chuckled and then seemingly mocked him with Aisa as they reenacted the entire scene.

"Oh, Mi-Lord, is that you? Please pinch the end of my nose again and then rail the shit out of me," Findir said as he got on his knees with sparkling eyes.

"Hohoho… What a naughty boy-... okay, I can't do this," Aisa said as she stopped the little play about to commence before me.

"Thank you. I was about to die of cringe," I muttered, and then slowly, the door twin doors opened, allowing all of us to enter.

Cy, who was still blushing in embarrassment, held his face as he entered behind us.

"Welcome to my household. I hope the children didn't bug you too much," The head of the Wony family said, and we were all a bit surprised by his calming appearance.

At the Meeting of Roses, he looked more fierce and domineering, but now, he seems a bit softer, like a kind and gentle father.

"Greetings," I said as I got on one knee and lowered my head, the others eventually catching on and mimicking me.

"Is there something wrong?" The head asked as he looked at Cy with condemning eyes.

"S-Sorry… These guys were making fun of me, and I still can't remove the image from my mind… I feel like I'm going to die of cringe," He muttered, and I could see the look of disapproval on the head's face.

"Well, whatever. It's nice to see you're so relaxed in a big-shots territory… Also, you can all rise and stay as relaxed as you want," The man said with a large smile, and as we stood up, a few servants brought in some cushioned chairs for us.

We sat down on them, and then a familiar face brought us some tea…

I think… I'll play with her a bit. I need to see if she's genuinely changed because back then, she seemed to display a bit of PSTD… I wonder what happened to her after I fucked up her life… I didn't think I would be this excited.

"Oh… Bella?" Cy said as he received the teacup from the girl with long red hair and a complexion that was so much more beautiful than we she was a child.

I guess you could say she was a cute child back then, but now she's really matured, not only in personality but also physically.

"It's good to see you again, Cy," Bella replied with a slight smile that emitted a warm aura.

Findir and Aisa didn't really know her that much, so they only introduced each other again, and when she finally got to me, I could see her body tensing up.

"It's good to see you again, Orion," She said.

"Excuse me… but who are you?" I asked, and I saw her lips purse and her eyes slightly water.
