Chapter 1249.

Seven days later, Starlight Tower.

Also known as the Starlight Tower, the Starlight Tower was the tallest building in the Empire’s First Higher Military Academy, with its main building reaching a height of 1,300 meters and a total of four hundred and seventy-two floors.

However, it wasn’t the tallest building on Taiwu Star, and it couldn’t even make it into the top ten!

Nonetheless, the Starlight Mansion was a landmark of the First Military Academy, especially the gigantic Holy Light Emblem that stood on top of the building, which radiated billions of glowing lights at night.

It could be seen from hundreds of kilometers away!

And the mansion was actually a luxurious super hotel, with its main and secondary buildings adding up to over 10,000 guest rooms for visiting guests.

With the invitation in hand, Wang Chen took the maglev high-speed elevator to the grand banquet hall located on the top floor of the Starlight Mansion.

When he arrived at the hall, it was already bustling with guests.

Well-dressed young men and women were in groups, talking and laughing with champagne in their hands, just like the scene of the high society’s fame and fortune.

Wang Duan handed the invitation to the waiter at the door, and then entered the Vanity Fair in the company of Tang Mi.

Tonight’s Tang Mi had changed into a deep purple evening gown and had done a very delicate makeup, and both her face value and figure were a step above normal.

The moment she entered the venue, she attracted a lot of attention.

The guests in the banquet hall were basically students of the First Military Academy, most of them spoke and behaved with a flavor unique to the aristocracy, and handsome men and women abounded among them.

But Tang Mi was also quite outstanding when placed within these people.

In comparison, Wang Chen, who was ordinary in both appearance and dress, was completely reduced to a companion for his female companion.

If it was the original body, I’m afraid that at this moment, I’m afraid to be nervous.

But Wang Chen was such a character that such a scene was nothing to him, and would not cause the slightest fluctuation in his heart.

Summoning a waiter with a drink, Wang Chen took a glass of champagne for himself and Tang Mi, then went to the large floor-to-ceiling window to enjoy the view of the academy under the shroud of night.

Tang Mi scanned around and said softly, “Zhao Rongcheng isn’t here.”

“Never mind.”

Wang Dust took a sip of champagne and smiled, “He’ll come looking for me.”

The wall is a thousand feet without desire, Zhao Rongcheng’s fame is big and his status is high, but Wang Dust has nothing to ask of him, so naturally he doesn’t need to blearily get up there, lowering his own level for nothing.

On the other hand, Zhao Rongcheng sent this invitation letter to Wang Duan, certainly not full of food.

Therefore, what interested Wang Dust the most right now was not the direct descendant of the Duke’s family, but the buffet tables in the banquet hall.

These tables were filled with a wide variety of food, one very beautifully made, and looked very tasty.

Moreover, Wang Chen could tell at a glance that many of the dishes were cooked using mutant creatures as the main ingredient.

Having come here, his stomach definitely needed to be filled!

So Wang Chen took the plate and selected some good-looking dishes to share with Tang Mi.

Tang Mi was a bit embarrassed at first, after all, not many of the guests were eating.

However, seeing Wang Duan eating with relish, she simply let go as well.

“This carbonara pork chop is good.”

Wang Dust placed a roasted pork chop wrapped in herbs onto Tang Mi’s plate and gave it a strong recommendation.

This dish also didn’t know which kind of mutant creature had been used, and its meat was not only incredibly tasty, but also contained abundant life energy, which could give one a great sense of fulfillment with just one bite.

Wang Chen had purchased many mutant creature ingredients in the past, and none of them were comparable to this.

The price was bound to be exorbitant.

Tang Mi cut off a piece and tried a bite, arched her eyebrows and said, “It’s indeed delicious.”

Wang Dust smiled and said, “Eat more if it’s delicious.”

“Wang Dust, you really treat this place like a cafeteria?”

It was at this time that a disgusting voice suddenly entered the ears of the two, “Isn’t it true that you haven’t eaten such haute cuisine before, right?”

Wang Dust sighed and put down the knife and fork in his hand, then looked at Juste who appeared out of nowhere.

It was as if this shady fellow had an undying grudge against Wang Dust, his mouth spoke sneering words, and a vicious light emerged from his eyes, a starkly villainous look on his face.

His voice was quite loud, and as a result, he attracted the attention of many people around him.

Some were curious, some were surprised, some were watching the show, and some were gloating.

Wang Dust waited for Juste to finish spraying his venom and said slowly, “Classmate Juste, the only things that can’t live up to in this world are love and food, you don’t know about love or food, I can forgive you for your ignorance, but you have to know how to cover up your ignorance.”

As soon as his words fell, snickers erupted from the side.

Wang Dust’s retort to Justice did not contain a single foul word, but the sneer it contained was pungent.

He directly peeled off this noble son’s face and then threw it on the ground and stomped on it a few times.

There were a few guests whose laughter was extraordinarily harsh.

If Justice had the ability and prestige, or was well-liked, then these noble children present would have joined together to ostracize Wang Dust as an outsider.

Nay, people who looked at him unfavorably abounded!

Justice’s face instantly turned red, and he couldn’t help but clench his fists tightly, about to snap on the spot.

However, Wang Chen’s stern gaze suddenly swept over, causing his heart and mind to tremble, and he couldn’t help but feel a sense of fear, and his anger was thrown into a pot of ice-cold water.

Jaster subconsciously took a step back.

The result attracted more contemptuous gazes.

He first spoke out to provoke, then was strongly countered by Wang Chen, and as a result, he was actually afraid?

It was simply a shame for the nobles!

“The only thing that can’t be lived up to in this world is love and food, that’s a great saying!”

A clear voice entered everyone’s ears, instantly attracting everyone’s full attention.

Only to see a young man in a black tuxedo walk over and say with a smile on his face, “Senior Wang Chen, I didn’t realize that not only do you possess an exceptional martial arts talent, but you also have an outstanding talent in literature.”

“Senior Zhao is flattering.”

Wang Dust stood up and smiled, “This sentence is something I read from a book and found it very reasonable, so I’ve just kept it in my heart.”

Looking at the other party’s poise and demeanor, as well as the reactions of the people around him, his identity was self-evident!

The Duke’s son, Zhao Rongcheng!

“It does make sense.”

Zhao Rongcheng nodded, then raised his wine cup to the surrounding guests, “And please don’t let the food down!”

Everyone laughed and raised their glasses together, bringing the atmosphere back to a cordial and joyful one.
