Lucifer's Descendant System

Chapter 197: Slightly Curious

Chapter 197: Slightly Curious

Noah was pleased there to see the public's reaction to seeing his appearance. He knew that people would be pleasantly surprised by what he looked like, since it was already difficult to find Blessed people with high ranking, not to mention Blessed Ones so powerful and with a good appearance.

That was one of the most important factors for giving Leroy such fame, since besides being rich and powerful, he was also very handsome, which made the public ignore the shitty attitude he had towards people.

After all, Blessings did not choose people based on appearance. Having such a powerful Blessing did not make a person beautiful. Perhaps the money earned from the Blessing might even make people less ugly, but it was not as common here as on Asian planets.

So when the audience saw that Lucifer was as nice and handsome as he was powerful, people were fascinated. In addition to having to answer for a few minutes some personal questions while giving interviews to reporters, there was nothing they could complain about.

But as soon as their live participation in the championship was over, several people approached Noah saying that they came from large families in larger cities. Everyone showed a lot of interest in Noah and promised him several benefits if he joined their family.

Noah was a little surprised by this, but in the end he told the representatives that he would talk to them separately via cell phone messages. He was not in the mood to deal with these people now. They would be very boring discussions that would probably ruin the happy mood he was planning to have with his friends in a bit to celebrate the championship victory.

After driving these people away, Noah went out with his friends to a bar and made an agreement that the last one standing would pay the bill in addition to having to carry the other four drunks home.

Noah knew very well that this was a trap for him, as he had shown at their last meeting that he was the toughest of the group, but he didn't care. He was happy to share a moment like this with his friends, so he accepted by pretending not to notice the scheme behind it all.

But knowing that he was the one who was most resistant to alcohol didn't stop Noah from trying to get drunk as much as possible. Like the other boys, Noah was also drinking like there was no tomorrow. While the boys were drinking a shot of vodka, Noah was drinking two or three shots, but unfortunately the improved statistics he had were having a great effect on purifying the alcohol in his body with frightening speed.

If he hadn't been drinking so fast, he would have hardly been drunk. But in order, Mateo, James, Carlos, and Kevin fell and passed out on the bar table. The bartender was already getting worried about seeing those four young men already passed out, while the fifth young man, who he had seen drinking much more than the rest was the only one who was awake, probably just standing by the great willpower he had, wanting to taste the victory of being stronger than his friends... It brought many old memories to the old bartender, who had often found himself with his friends at his father's bar trying to drink like old men but failing miserably, giving his father and the staff a lot of work from the bar afterwards.

A little nostalgic, but still worried about these young people, the old bartender approached the table to see how they were doing, but strangely he noticed that the young man who drank the most - the young man who was still standing, who made the bartender believe that he was still that way maybe because he didn't even have the strength to fall, in fact, he was very lucid, looking with a slightly intoxicated smile on his face toward his passed out friends.

"Are you all right, young man?" the old bartender asked the young man who was still awake.

"It's all right, old man. How much do I owe?" The young man asked in a much more sober tone than the old man imagined the young man would be able to keep.

"I must take my hat off to you, boy. It has been years since I met someone as brave as you when it comes to alcohol. It reminded me of my youth, when I beat all my friends in drinking contests, haha. Because of that I'll give you a 10% discount for tonight, but only if you tell me why you're celebrating so much."

As much as Noah had a lot of money, he hadn't become stupid enough to miss an opportunity to get a discount on something. Even if the discount amount was not a large sum of money for Noah today, that money saved would have probably made a big difference to Noah a few months ago. He would not forget his roots and just act like a playboy wasting money everywhere.

"Today we won a championship, old man. We won the Valorwatch championship," Noah replied calmly with slightly pink cheeks.

"Ohh so you are the From Hell team? Elegant like that, even when drinking. You must be the Ace of the team, Lucifer, am I right? Can you take a picture with me for my granddaughter? She was very happy watching the championship finals and she was very excited when your team won. I'm sure she will be very excited to know that Lucifer's team came to my old bar to celebrate and they were drunk at my table, hahaha!" the old man said excitedly as he reached into his pocket for his cell phone.

Noah clearly agreed to take a picture. This was the first photo he took because he was recognized outside the championship. With a very happy smile on his face, unlike the cold, calculating smile he normally kept on his face, Noah hugged the old man by putting his arm over his shoulder while pointing to his teammates who slept at the bar table, unconcerned.

After taking the photo and promising to stick it on the bar wall, saying that the champions went to drink at his bar after a Valorwatch championship victory, the old man even told Noah that what they consumed would be on the house, something that Noah clearly did not tell his teammates when they woke up after receiving a mild treatment of [Healing Flames] in order to get them up and returned to the hotel without being carried.

The next day, Noah woke up early, prepared to deal with 4 young adults dying from their hangovers, leaving the door to his room unlocked so that when his teammates woke up and went there to look for help it would be easier and faster for them, but what Noah didn't expect was to find another person who was also sharing a hotel with them, Marcel, curiously opening his bedroom door as he saw Noah lying fully in bed while using his cell phone and seeing his number of followers on social networks rising rapidly.

"Noah?! Why is your bedroom door unlocked?" Marcel asked curiously.

Noah saw that it was Marcel who had entered his room, and he was also a little curious as to why his Fortress teammate was there. "Hey Marcel, I'm waiting for the boys. They'll probably be hungover, so I'm going to have to help them deal with this when they wake up. And you? Why are you here?"

"First of all, congratulations on winning the championship. My cousin, Pearl, was very upset that he lost the championship so quickly. He was unlucky in dealing with hackers so early in the championship. Even having a powerful Blessing, he couldn't use it to try to win, even though I'm sure you'd beat him in a direct match, hehe," Marcel said, genuinely happy, before changing his expression to something more serious.

"But unfortunately my visit here today is not simply to congratulate you. I am here in something of a more formal capacity, with more professional than personal reasons. My family is experiencing problems in the capital. My grandfather is suffering from an illness and the Blessed of this generation will still take a while to develop, while the blessed of the previous generation did not become as strong as the family needed, making the family's strength likely to plummet in the coming years, suffering even the risk of disappearing among the capital's main families," Marcel said a little sadly. "So today, as the future master of the Khan family, I, Marcel Khan, have come to invite you to be part of the Khan family. Both benefits and obligations will be negotiated, but keeping our friendship in mind first. What do you think?"

Noah was surprised that Marcel had come to make this invitation to him initially, but after thinking about it, it was not so surprising. After all, Noah had suspected that Marcel came from a powerful family from another city. Finding someone who was Rank B in Eyrin City wasn't something one would normally see. And since Marcel talked about Pearl, Noah thought even more that it made sense. A powerful cousin, the Ace from one of the best Valorwatch teams in Eyrin city, coming from a powerful family from the capital would make a lot of sense. The only weird thing about it as Noah thought about it was that even though Marcel had a Rank B Blessing, it was strange that he was still a Blessed Rank E, unless there was another reason for it... a reason that Noah was slightly curious to find out now.
