The eyes of the curly haired boy met the cold gaze of Feng Xin, he shuddered at the sight of the terrifying gaze. He immediately knew he had messed with the wrong group, he was just a boy that had a rich background, he liked to flaunt his wealth and oppress others, but he couldn't afford to mess with people stronger than him. Anyone seeing him in such a situation would call him a twat, but he wasn't completely at fault, Feng Xin had used a dark art he learned from his family, the dark art would shook the soul of the victims, rendering them vulnerable to mind attacks, allowing them to be easily intimidated. Clifford and others were surprised at such dark art.
"We'll.... we'll take our leave," he tried to appear strong but his nervous face and voice betrayed him. He was ashamed, he had thought he could intimidate Clifford's group, but the death stare of Feng Xin gave him shivers.
"Sit!" Clifford immediately ordered him. The curly haired boy immediately sat like an obedient puppy. "I told you the last person that puffed smoke at me suffered my wrath, what made you think you would not suffer for doing that?" Clifford asked with a cold grin.
The curly haired boy was angry at what Clifford said, he believed Clifford would not dare to hurt him because of his background but he swallowed his anger, he couldn't afford to lose face again. His lackeys felt insulted too but they dared not retaliate here at the special occasion of the Patterson family, besides, the aura from Clifford's group was intimidating them.
"Forgive me," The curly haired man uttered shamefully. Even though he was spoilt and liked to oppress weaker people, he respected people stronger than him. He doesn't like to live by the reputation of his family, he wanted to build a reputation for himself. He was from a different region of Sun city, this was the first time he would meet Clifford, he also attended a different mage academy. He wasn't aware of Clifford's reputation, if he was aware of it, he wouldn't dare to offend him. He was just trying to broaden his reputation. He already had lackeys in different places of Sun city, he was fond of targeting small groups like Clifford's group, he would intimidate them and force them to join his guild. He had thought he could easily do the same for Clifford's group but he had failed woefully, even if Feng Xin hadn't used the dark art, Clifford would have intimidated them in his own way.
"You know your place!" Benson grinned at the curly haired boy.
"What's your name?" Clifford asked while he sipped from the glass of wine again.
"Mason Green," the curly haired boy quickly answered.
"Mason Green? You're from the Green Family that breeds tamed beasts?" Leonard asked him.
"Yes," Mason replied. He was truly from the Green Family, this family was widely known for breeding tamed beasts, they were one of the influential families in Sun city.
"Aaaah!" Theodore chuckled, "I've heard of your great deeds, you're the youngest child of the green family, the leader of a certain guild. I know quite a lot about you."
Clifford had also heard about the Green Family before, all he knew was that the family was specialized in taming and breeding beasts. Theodore also narrated Mason's deeds to Clifford, the latter was quite impressed by what Mason was doing. Even though Mason was a spoilt brat, he didn't depend on his family's reputation, he was building a reputation for himself by creating a guild. Clifford finally understood why Mason had approached them.
"So you wanted to enroll us into your guild?" Clifford asked with a slight grin.
"I dare not, not anymore." Mason didn't want to offend Clifford and the others, the terrifying gaze of Feng Xin still lingered in his mind.
"Unfortunately, you walked into the lion's den." Theodore said to Mason.
"Yes....yes! I walked into the lion's den." Mason replied in nervous voice, the dark art of Feng Xin really crushed his confidence.
"Fear not, I'm quite impressed by what you've been doing, you just had to do it in the right way." Clifford was truly impressed. He signaled to Feng Xin to lift the dark art off Mason. Feng Xin's eyes emitted the crimson-purple glow again, Mason immediately felt relieved, his confidence was restored but he was aware that Feng Xin could do it again. He thanked Clifford and the others in a respectful manner before he hurriedly left with his lackeys, he wouldn't dare to mess with Clifford's group in the future.
Shortly after Mason left, Dora arrived, she was stunned when she saw Clifford's godlike appearance, she didn't let people notice her stunned expression, she only smiled at Clifford slightly but deep down in her mind, she was extremely impressed. She thanked Clifford and his friends for honouring her invitation. The celebrant of the occasion himself came to meet Clifford. Clifford rose up and greeted Thomas respectfully, the two exchanged pleasantries before Thomas left. Clifford was the only person he came to meet among the young people, to Thomas, only Clifford was worthy of his greetings.
After a while, it was time to dance, Clifford chose Dora as his dance partner. Dora was completely dressed in silver, the silver gown she wore showed her stunning shape, although she had a slender body, her hips were nicely shaped, any man would go crazy for it. Clifford loved the sight of Dora's exquisite shape, he gracefully took the arms of Dora and pulled her closer, the sweet scent of her body wafted into his nose, "what a nice feeling!" he thought.
He gracefully led her into the center of the dancefloor, then they danced to the beautiful rhythms of the gentle music. The two dancing together was a sight to behold, they were a match made from heaven. Clifford's godlike and charming appearance coupled with the extreme beauty and elegant figure of Dora, there's no match better than the two.
