Chapter 20 - Xia Qingyue?

"Hello gentleman," Delfino said awe-inspiringly as he held his head high.

"Oh, hello to you too Mr. Delfino."Answered old man Sekoujo after realizing that Cale did not even bother to glance at Delfino.

Delfino smiled awkwardly at old man Sekoujo and looked at Cale's back angrily.

"Ehem!" Old man Sekoujo cleared his throat to get Cale's attention and was relieved after seeing him turn his way.

"Did you call me Mr. Sekoujo? Oh, who might these gentlemen be?" Cale had a look of surprise as he studied Delfino's group.

"Sir Cale, this is Mr. Delfino, and Lord Wolf King sold his goods to them in the previous exchange," Santharus whispered to Cale with a voice which was enough for Delfino and the others to hear.

'I didn't know that Santharus was also quite the fast thinker and this guy also has good acting skills.' Cale praised Santharus inwardly.

"Oh, I do apologize for my negligence Mr. Delfino," Cale said as he smiled lightly at Delfino.

Delfino forced himself to look calm, but his shaking hands and quivering lips said his inner thoughts.

'I will not act for now. This kid might be a relative of Wolf King.' Delfino thought to himself.

Delfino was about to reply when a hand firmly held his shoulder. He turned his head back and saw Anton with a solemn face.

"I'm sorry, please excuse us for a moment," Delfino said. He knew that Anton would not do something so foolish, so he chose to trust him.

Anton dragged Delfino somewhere and whispered "Boss, that kid is not simple. He was just acting like a sheep to eat the tiger. His strength is the strongest among all the people in that group. His.. his.. aura..."

Anton could not finish the words he wanted to say after seeing the suffocating aura around Cale.

Delfino was sweating crazily after hearing the report of Anton. 'The good thing is I was smart and did not show my anger.' Delfino thought after calming his heart.

Delfino then walked towards Cale and said with an ugly smile on his fat face "I do apologize for making you wait little brother."

Cale chuckled softly and said, "No, it is okay Mr. Delfino."

Delfino wiped the sweat on his forehead with a white handkerchief and asked carefully "Little brother if you don't mind me asking. Are you also part of Wolf King's group?"

Cale glanced at him and replied calmly while nodding his head "Yes I am indeed part of Lord Wolf King's group. And I am his First General."

Delfino swallowed a mouthful of saliva before producing a forced smile.

Old man Sekoujo then interjected their conversation to alleviate the awkward atmosphere "Mr. Delfino, how about having toast with this old man?"

Delfino glanced at the old man and smiled widely. The usual calculating look was back on his face. "It is my pleasure to have a toast with you Mr. Sekoujo."

"No. No. The honor is mine, Mr. Delfino. Even the people in my home country, Japan, trembles at the mere mentioning of your great name." Old man Sekoujo said with a benign smile.

Delfino was flattered by the praise and his smile became even more prominent.

"Gentlemen, excuse me for a moment," Cale said after giving them a bright smile.

Old man Sekoujo was about to stop him, but then he saw the tranquil eyes of Cale. The calmness within those beautiful onyx eyes made his heart tremble unconsciously.

'Those eyes, it... it... is not the eyes of a normal human. This kid, just who is he?' Old man Sekoujo thought to himself after he caught a glimpse of Cale's true aura from his eyes.

Cale walked towards where Sima Ying was located at a pace that was neither fast nor slow. Of course, his approach was noticed by the countless admirers of Sima Ying.

"Look! Someone is having thoughts on our goddess."

"Who is this handsome prick? Did he really think that Lee Wang Min would stay idle and allow him to get near Sima Ying?"

"What a foolish kid. Lee Wang Min might be silked pants, but his background is also quite complicated."

"Hey quiet! Are you tired of living? What if Lee Wang Min will hear you?"

Cale ignored the chattering crowd and continued walking towards Sima Ying.

Of course, he was not just moving blindly. His true purpose was to ask her about something. And although it was quite troublesome doing it in front of the crowd, he might not even have the chance if he moved a bit later.

Lee Wang Min saw Cale approaching towards them and he felt a bit threatened after seeing his devilishly handsome face.

Sima Ying already noticed Cale who was moving towards them. She thought that he might be just another admirer of her. She was indeed a bit stunned by Cale's handsomeness, but that was just it. She then glanced away from him and continued enjoying her drink.

"Hello young miss Sima Ying, please pardon my sudden intrusion as I would only like to ask you a question," Cale said calmly as he studied Sima Ying's side profile.

'They really look similar.' Cale thought longingly as he recalled the face of a beautiful woman in his past life.

"Hey, kid. Get out of my sight right now. Don't act so mysterious in front of Yingying. I know you are just one of those fools who wanted to ask for a date with her. Get lost normie!" Lee Wang Min said with a ridiculing smile on his face.

Sima Ying felt disgusted at the acting of Lee Wang Min, but she did not try to stop him.

Cale did not even bother glancing at Lee Wang Min and just continued staring at Sima Ying.

Veins protruded on Lee Wang Min's handsome face as he realized that Cale was treating him like thin air. He then said angrily "How dare you to act arrogantly in front me kid?! Do you know who I am? Do you even know my Lee Family?!"

Cale was about to lose his cool, but then a beautiful and angelic voice traveled slowly on his ears calming his raging heart.

"What is it that you wanted to know from me, sir?" Sima Ying said calmly. Her facial expression did not change even a tiny bit, but her voice was like a pleasing melody. Anyone who would hear her voice would surely wish to have a long conversation with her.

"Do you know Xia Qingyue?" Cale asked calmly, but the nervousness in his heart almost reached its peak.

Sima Ying was shocked and turned to look at him.

Cale finally got a clearer view of Sima Ying and was stunned by her appearance.

Sima Ying then hurriedly averted her gaze and replied: "I don't know her."

Cale sighed and shook his head. He then turned around and walked away.

"Tch, just stop the act kid." Lee Wang Min said mockingly.

Cale glanced at him briefly and released ten percent of his true aura and direct all of it towards Lee Wang Min.

Lee Wang Min was still smiling in contempt when he suddenly felt that time has slowed down a bit.

He then saw Cale's body that was covered by a dense and black aura. His eyes were like the eyes of a primordial demon who was hungry for blood.

He could tell that Cale was capable of killing him in less than a second.

His knees went weak and turned jelly after sensing the profound aura that Cale was currently emitting. He knelt down on the ground unknowingly as if he was a slave submitting to someone superior to him.

He ignored the shocked look of the crowd as he was still occupied by the suffocating aura of Cale.

Cale then recalled his aura and walked towards the terrace area leaving the dazed Lee Wang Min kneeling on the ground pitifully.
