Chapter 319 – Banquet

Chapter 319 - Banquet

After finishing his business with Sihan, he returned to his room and stayed there to make his next plan to deal with his reputation and turn it to his advantage.

He spent most of his time inside his room, only to come out after Ellen and Alea called him to start his preparation for the banquet.

He also got invited by Phyrill to take care of his appearance at the banquet. Theo accepted it since he had nothing to do other than thinking about his response to others in the banquet.

It took him an hour to get ready. There wasn't much different from his last appearance other than the color of his tuxedo, so there was no more shock from Phyrill and others.

As soon as they finished, Theo and the others were picked up by the driver to go to the venue.

However, as one would expect, Theo indeed needed to deal with the camera again as the driver told them. "I'm sorry, but Theodore Griffith and Alea Eilric are required to take a picture together again before Theodore gets his own session since you are the MVP of this competition."

"So, I need to put up with her again?" Theo sighed while pointing his finger at Alea.

The latter only pouted as she didn't have any more grudge like the previous banquet. "What do you mean you need to put up with me again? I won't do anything today. I will just follow your lead."

Theo raised his eyebrows and stared at her dumbfoundedly.

"Don't look at me with those eyes…" Alea sighed.

"Anyway, it's time for us to go." Theo shrugged and opened the door. He was greeted by the flash of the camera.

Ignoring all those people, he turned around and extended his hand.

Alea gently reached his hand and came out of the car. She didn't forget to sneak her arm into his before waving to the camera with a smile.

At the very least, they managed to escape from that place. Even though Theo needed to go to another one, he somehow ended it before his teammates and escaped to the venue.

There, he found Alea had been talking to a few people like Cheng Sui, Enrica, and Zara.

"Hehe, I have been waiting for you, Theo." Nella's voice echoed in his ears as many of them noticed Theo as well.

"How is the ring? Is it too small for you?" Nella asked.

"If it's too small, I can simply use my pinkie." Theo shrugged and showed her the ring, which was still on his middle finger.

"That's good then." Nella nodded. "Do you have any plans to visit my house after this?"

"Ehm… No." Theo rolled his eyes.

"I guess so." Nella chuckled. "You can choose whatever future you want, but is it okay if I am present with you? There are a few things that you need to know after all."

"In the discussion?" Theo asked while squinting his eyes.

"Yes. You will know about it later."

"Are you sure?"

"Trust me. I never lied to you, Theo."

"Well, okay then." Theo nodded. "But only at this banquet."

"I don't plan to do anything beyond that."

While those two were talking, a female's voice echoed in their ears.

"We finally met again."

Theo and Nella turned their heads in unison, finding this one girl whose beauty was incomparable to anyone else in this venue.

"It's my pleasure." Theo smiled.

"We completely lost against you in the first match. If luck didn't help her…" She glanced at Nella with a small smug. "I think you would have become a finalist."

"Haha. I wonder if it's true…" Theo grinned.

"I don't care if I lose or not to be honest as long as I have done everything I can." Nella shrugged as her expression turned hostile. "And what are you planning to do to my Cousin? Enrica should be the one who comes here, not you, Agata."

"I am just trying to accompany today's hero." She smiled, indirectly implying Theo's Ring of Honor. She asked politely, "I wonder if I have the honor to dance with you."

"I am sorry, but I would rather not embarrass myself. I am just an orphan boy without any high-class education you see." Theo chuckled.

"It's fine. I can lead. You just need to follow my lead."

"No. He is going to be seduced if it's with you." Nella pouted, trying to protect Theo. "If you want to talk, it's better to call another person. What you are doing is completely different!"

"I think I already told you that I'm planning to accompany today's hero, not talk. In fact, I am interested in him." Agata boldly claimed.

"Ahaha, it's my honor to hear something like that from the world's most beautiful woman." Theo chuckled. "Albeit, I am not brave enough to make the whole world's my enemy, you see."

"I guess it can be seen that way." Agata smiled before gently extending his hand. "Before that… This is what I really want to do. Aside from that bronze medal, Congratulations for becoming the MVP."

Theo shook her hand while saying, "I was just lucky. Many people are better than me… If I am not from Thersland, I doubt I can achieve this honor."

She smiled mysteriously and nodded. "If it's possible, can I ask for your number?"

"Sure." He thought it wasn't that big of a deal since it was only his number.

Theo took out his Skylink and moved it closer to the bracelet Agata wore.

After a beep sound, Theo put it back inside his pocket and said, "It's done."

"Thank you."

"No problem."

"Well, it seems I can't really occupy you any longer. There are already so many eyes staring at us, so I will back away from today." Agata took a step back and politely nodded her head. "If you happen to be interested in making a deal with me, please call my number."

Theo nodded politely, noticing the few people who had been staring at him. In fact, all the representatives had been waiting for him.

With Agata moving away from him, they finally approached him.
