Chapter 1366: Chapter 1365: Karson Schwartz

"Eh?" Yusuf Zuck and two boatmen brothers looked at the two dashing young masters, and those at the bow also turned to look at Yusuf Zuck, letting out a light gasp of surprise, sizing him up and down without stopping.

"Are you also a boatman?" One of the young masters raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Yes, yes, yes, this humble one is also a boatman," Yusuf Zuck nodded repeatedly.

"Interesting, a Divine King working as a boatman, just how poor are you, hahaha!" The two of them burst into laughter. There were plenty of Divine Kings in Eternal City who couldn’t make ends meet, so having one as a boatman, although unusual, seemed reasonable upon consideration.

They did not bother to ask why the Divine King had resorted to being a boatman; they simply scorned to do so. Why would they care to ask about the affairs of a mere boatman?

The two boarded the boat and then began arranging the facilities inside, taking out various food and drinks.

The boat outing today included a poetry contest, so things like writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones were also prepared by these two.

Yusuf Zuck went to the stern and sat down quietly to wait.

A few moments later, three or four more people arrived, among them a woman. The group chatted and laughed as they walked, continuing to laugh incessantly in the cabin after they boarded, with Yusuf Zuck even overhearing a handsome man telling a risqué joke that had the woman giggling gleefully.

These were all offspring of prestigious families, rich or noble young masters and misses, leading lives of extraordinary opulence and perhaps also lacking in propriety.

People continued to arrive, and the number of women wasn’t small either; by the time it was fully daylight and the mist on the water had cleared, there were upwards of forty people, with seventeen or eighteen being women.

After some noise on the boat with over forty people, another person came alone. This individual was exceptionally handsome, with a commanding presence, thick eyebrows, and very spirited eyes.

"It’s Grayson Newman!"

"He actually came too, did Karson Schwartz invite him as well?"

"He lost face at Karson’s place, yet he dares to come!"

"That’s not quite right to say. Who among us hasn’t lost face at Karson’s?"

"Uh... That’s also true!" Everyone fell silent with a knowing smile; Karson Schwartz’s words were not pleasing to hear, as everyone had been put down by her at some point.

"So, that’s Grayson Newman!" Yusuf Zuck sneaked a glance at this person, a Superior Divine Emperor, who could be said to be on the precipice of Demigod-hood, immensely powerful and indeed a leader among the young talents.

Of course, that was just among ordinary folks; The Eight Great Families did not acknowledge such a status.

"Look, there’s Gregory Erickson!"

"Ah, Gregory Erickson has come as well."

"That one seems to be Tate Case, the fourth son!"

"Tate Case, the fourth son, has come too..."

...

More people boarded the boat, and all were individuals with names, reputations, and prestige.

Take Gregory Erickson, for instance, the sole grandchild of the First-class Arellano Family, with an overwhelmingly formidable Cultivation Level. The fourth son, Case, had a father named Tate, a common folk eccentric and both parents being of Dignity status, so their son also had a significant standing in the circles of the privileged.

There were others like Third Son Wang, Fourth Son Li, and so forth, with seventy to eighty more people arriving until there were a hundred and thirty to forty people on the boat.

Finally, after almost two hours of waiting, just when all the Wangs and Lis seemed to have arrived, a streak of radiance suddenly swept across the distant horizon, followed by the appearance of a young man dressed in royal robes.

All those on the boat craned their necks to look, then the crowd exclaimed: "It’s Collins Goodman!"

"The prime grandson of the Goodman Family!"

"Hehe, looks like I arrived the earliest!" Collins Goodman did not board the boat but declared himself the earliest, ignoring the hundred or so people on the boat. In his eyes, none of the people on board were worthy of being on par with him!

"Haha, I’m not any later than you are!" Another streak of horizon light swooped in, instantly standing beside Collins Goodman.

This person was dressed in a blue robe and cloth shoes, looking very casual, unlike someone who was here for a banquet.

"It’s Rowen Mills!"

"Look over there, three more have arrived together!"

In the distance, three people were slowly walking over, chatting and laughing along the way. The crowd fixed their eyes, and to their surprise, it was Marc Watts from the Watts family, Ares Arellano from the Arellano Family, and Xander Nash from the Nash family.

These three were also dressed very casually and didn’t have things like fans or wear white robes.

Their demeanor was already very low-profile.

"Haha, looks like everyone has arrived!" Three more streaks of light flew in soon after, and the crowd saw that it was Langston Torres from the Torres Family, Zoe Schwartz from the Schwartz Family, and Micah Berger from the Berger family.

The three of them had also come as a group.

"Nice to see you, Brother Micah, Brother Karson, Brother Langston..." The eight greeted each other, as the firstborn heirs of The Eight Great Families naturally knew one another. Even though there might be frictions and entanglements in secret, they still appeared very amicable on the surface.

"Karson hasn’t arrived yet, has he? Should we wait for him on the ship or here?" Micah Berger said with a faint smile.

"Let’s wait for her here. But she’s not doing a very good job as the host; the guests have all arrived, and she still hasn’t!" The speaker was Zoe Schwartz, Karson Schwartz’s older brother, her real older brother, born of the same parents.

"How come she didn’t come with you?" Collins Goodman asked.

"How would I know? We don’t live together..." Zoe Schwartz replied with a wry smile.

"I’m here." A voice suddenly sounded, not expressing any excitement or urgency, but rather a mix of flatness with a hint of indifference.

And as the voice ended, a black and white God Crane soared from the sky, instantly landing on the bow of the ship.

Deities cannot fly in Eternal City, but some Celestial Beasts can, such as the God Crane.

However, the God Crane is an even rarer species than the Sky Demon Black Tiger. To capture such a creature, you’d need to cross the Heavenly Continent, then the Southern Swamp Forest, and then navigate past seven or eight perilous terrains before you can find a trace of the God Crane.

So it’s said that in the entire Heavenly Realm, there is only one God Crane, and that’s the one belonging to Karson Schwartz.

"Karson, long time no see."

"Karson is here."

"Sister Karson..."

Not only did The Eight Great Heirs clasp their fists in greeting, but everyone in the cabin quickly came out, clenching their fists and bowing to Karson Schwartz.

She seemed like a big sister figure.

Yusuf Zuck glanced at Karson Schwartz, finding her indeed quite beautiful, but not enchantingly so. She was just an ordinary beauty, standing around one meter seventy with long legs and glossy black hair coiled up, unadorned with makeup, a natural beauty.

Her eyes were not big, they were single-lidded, which gave her a unique charm.

After giving a faint smile to everyone, Karson Schwartz then said, "Has everyone arrived? Ferryman, set sail." When she instructed the ferryman to set sail, she specifically glanced at Yusuf Zuck at the stern, as she had already noticed that the ferryman was a Junior God King.

But she didn’t ask anything, showing no interest in doing so.

"Let’s go~" The two older ferrymen at the bow pushed off with a pole, and the pleasure boat slowly entered the river, drifting downstream.

Yusuf Zuck also gave a symbolic push at the stern, while he pondered on how to latch onto Karson Schwartz’s presence. Moreover, he must succeed with one strike today, or else he might not get such a good opportunity again.
