Chapter 765: Chapter 301 Feeling Like I’ve Won Big_3

Lundan’s eyes lit up, "The queen has good tactics, to suppress the Tulip Family, she even brought the High Priestess from the Moonlight Church."

Is there a possibility that the High Priestess’s distinguished guest is him?

Thinking this, Lundan straightened his back a good deal more.

Just at that moment, outside the grand hall, three women made their entrance.

The two women with ordinary looks were stunning twins, each one a beauty in her own right. Together, they drew the focus of the entire room with the added allure of their identical appearances.

Regrettably, they only held the spotlight for a moment before everyone’s gaze shifted to the woman walking in front.

The woman was clad in a flowing white gown, her figure graceful and her skin delicate and pure. As she moved, the hem of her dress fluttered like a gentle breeze carrying whispers, unconsciously seeping into the hearts of onlookers.

Her golden hair was pinned up, and a black veil covered half of her delicate face, accentuating her fair skin as white as snow, and the clarity of her eyes, clear as the trace of moonlight sprinkle on the earth, half a face revealed and already mesmerizing.

"Gulp!"

No one doubted her beauty; the mystery of the veil made her all the more noble and ravishing.

"High Priestess."

John approached Philomena’s side and whispered, "I bumped into an old friend and chatted with him for a while. I haven’t had time to check the private rooms yet."

Philomena shook her head slightly, her gaze sweeping across Lundan and his family, when suddenly her eyes brightened and she moved toward them.

That slight change in her expression, the unhidden joy in her eyes, made the entire hall seem brighter.

Lundan’s heart swelled with joy, silently praising the queen for treating him well. Today’s grand display assured him more confidence in standing up to Austin.

It was a sure rhythm!

"High Priestess, Lundan Lan..."

Lundan extended his hand, which froze mid-air in astonishment as the white-clad figure brushed past him without looking back and seated herself beside Wayne, and then...

Sat down.

Yes, she sat right on Wayne’s lap.

"It’s really rare for you not to be late today. Previously, whenever I tried to invite you out for a meal, you had all kinds of excuses," Philomena complained continuously, disregarding her status as a High Priestess and the increasingly shocked stares from those around them.

Legendary Mages, after all, tend to be a bit eccentric.

For instance, Philomena had long wanted to make her relationship with Wayne public, it was just that Wayne never agreed.

"Stop it, you’re a High Priestess, and everyone is watching!" Wayne patted his lap, urging Philomena to be more reserved.

Philomena glanced sideways at the others with a raised eyebrow and quickly diverted her gaze: "Who else is there? I don’t see anyone."

Saying this, she gave Mona a displeased look and snorted, "You jerk, your secretary is getting more and more beautiful, isn’t she?"

This wave of sourness could be tasted from afar, the pettiness of a jealous woman where was the dignity of a High Priestess? It was clearly a woman who had fallen in love...

Speaking of which, she’s a High Priestess now, she must be no longer young, right?

As people thought this, their eyes landed on Philomena’s half-veiled, delicate face, and they instantly firmed up their stance.

Sister, I can do this!

"Go back to the room and wait for me, I still have guests here. I’ll come to you after I’ve seen to them," Wayne gave Philomena a glance, and she huffed, refusing to get up and leave on her own.

"..."

Lundan: (눈⌓눈)

Was this the queen’s doing? Probably not... right?

Lundan might not be as shrewd as Austin, but he was definitely intelligent. At this moment, thinking of his ’old friend’ John, how could he not be clear about who had arranged this?

Why?

Why does Wayne get to command the High Priestess of the Moonlight Church, and why does she sacrifice so much for him, is it the financial power of the Lando Family?

Lundan hoped it was financial power because if it wasn’t, his coming to Lundan was meaningless.

The queen picked the wrong way to threaten Austin. It was a high-end game, not something a fallen nobleman like him could partake in.

"I just can’t deal with you, but whatever, it’s not like they’re important guests anyway."

Wayne stood up with Philomena in his arms, full of apologies, "Banser, I’ve got some important matters to discuss with the High Priest, so we’ll end it here for today. Let’s make plans to have dinner with your family another time. Just leave the bill at the front desk, I’ll take care of it later."

"Don’t worry, next time the treat is still on me. It’s not about the money!"

Without further regard for Banser’s stiff expression, he walked into the private room with his arm around her slender waist.

Mona followed closely behind, along with the twins, into the room.

Outside stood the doorman, John, a Priest of the Moonlight Church, who, being a man, didn’t even have the privilege to sit down and have a meal inside.

He didn’t enter the room; what exactly they were eating in there, or who might be getting eaten, was certainly worth letting one’s imagination run wild.

The bystanders were left to their speculation, mainly men, each with a sorrowful expression, murmuring and grumbling as if they were mourning Wayne’s grave.

Noticing the discontent in their female companions’ eyes, they...

Didn’t change!

They were still grief-stricken, only wishing they could replace Wayne.

Change, what change? Do I look like I’m in the mood to change?xN

After a while, the onlookers remembered their tasks, retracting their envious gazes, and extended their sympathy to Banser’s family.

Give it up. The big city is too cruel. To make it here, you need to have at least one High Priestess in your arms.

There’s still time to pack up and go back to the countryside to farm. At least in the cotton plantation, you can be winners in life.

They didn’t bother to greet the family of the losers, leaving the banquet one after the other. Tonight wasn’t a complete waste—they got an important piece of information that could sell for a pretty penny.

No matter why Wayne managed to get his hands on the High Priestess’s ass, the public display of affection by the High Priestess, as if in love, whether it was for his money or personal charm, was an undeniable fact with her in his embrace.

In the face of the Queen’s centralization of power, the Randao Family had revealed a card—the heir Wayne and the Moonlight Church’s High Priestess were involved.

Considering that Austin and the High Priestess of the Naturalism Church were also entangled, even fostering a daughter together, the Life Alliance’s three major beliefs, in Lundan, they’ve already secured two.

Of course, it can also be said that the Naturalism and Moonlight Churches have successfully infiltrated the Tulip Family, edging in on the Queen’s territory.

But these aren’t the main points.

Among the three major beliefs of the Life Alliance, the Randao Family has close ties with the Naturalism and Moonlight Churches. What about the last one, the Sun Church? Are the father and son often going over there to work out and wrestle?

Austin truly lives up to his reputation as a loyal servant of the Tulip Family, eating the Queen’s, sleeping the Queen’s, and as soon as his pants are pulled up, he is already so chummy with the Life Alliance.

The hall became silent as people left, and Banser’s family remained speechless.

The younger members had no appetite to enjoy the authentic French meal, and the family head Banser was even more confused and exhausted, looking significantly older.

Jennifer supported her husband, her brows were etched with sorrow, she opened her mouth as if to say something, her eyes asking whether it was time to leave.

"Let’s go, we’ve eaten enough," said Banser, not directly answering but insisting on paying the bill himself as he passed by the manager. He glanced at the private room and even settled Wayne’s bill as well.

It was painful to the wallet, but this was his last act of defiance as well as the tuition he paid for tonight’s lesson.

It was worth it!

Austin had opened his eyes to what it meant to be a truly prestigious noble family, one that could stand firmly in Lundan even without relying on the Queen.

"Austin, you’re too arrogant. I will relay these words to the Queen, and I’ll add some of my personal insights. Since you don’t need the Queen, there’s no need for her to need you either," Banser said with a dark expression. Even though he was not as upright as before, he still harbored resentment, and from the Tulip Family’s perspective, Austin’s Randao Family was overstepping its bounds.

Was that the High Priestess of the Moonlight Church’s ass? That’s a slide you’re not even supposed to touch!

The stronger Austin appeared, the more the Queen needed him, and Banser represented the true loyalty of the Randao Family.

This loyalty was enough for the Queen to make a choice!

"Austin, you shouldn’t have shown your hand like this; you’ve left the Queen with no choice."
