Chapter 821 - Arrival (1/2)
After two hours of driving, they had finally arrived at the temple.
To his surprise, the temple seemed to be bustling with people. Although they weren't aware of the event, they still recognized famous people.
Maya's car was third on the line, so Theo took this chance to look at the people outside.
”Hey… Isn't that…” One of them pointed at a young man that was surrounded by three people in a suit and accompanied by a beautiful woman.
”I think I've heard about them. The woman is an artist called Melissa. Her strength reached the Supreme Rank a few years ago.”
”But you should take a look at the man… If I'm not wrong, the man is supposed to be famous too for being rich. I believe he's been featured in a magazine… I forgot his name.”
”Isn't he supposed to be the 13th rank in the Asda's Younger Generation List? His father has a big company in Nevada, while his talent is quite powerful too. His name… If I'm not wrong, he's called Robert Batres.”
”Eh?”
The people suddenly fell silent when they saw the next person that came out. He had long blonde hair tied on his back. His sharp blue eyes made his face look cold and aloof.
The one that accompanied him was a female of the same age. She had long black hair and wore a one-piece white dress to accompany the man's black suit.
”Is there an event here?”
”That guy should be the 5th on the list. He doesn't have any background, but his natural talent has brought the US to the final of the Grand Gaia Competition seven years ago.”
”That's right. He's the role model that shows that you can still become famous as long as you're good enough.”
”After that competition, I heard he's brought to Astarst Corporation to become the groom of their young miss.”
”But their young miss is also good. She is number 7th on the list. Her talent might be lower than him, but her family wealth manages to allow her to reach that point. Ah, I want money.”
”What you need is a sugar daddy, probably…”
The two entered the venue without saying a single thing.
Meanwhile, Theo narrowed his eyes as Maya said, ”Hmm… Winston and Lexie?”
”You know them?”
”Yeah, Winston is quite good. He's a powerful young generation. He reached Supreme Rank three years ago. I think he's focusing on his Aspects right now instead of his level. Do you want to challenge him?”
”I'm not going to pick a fight here.” Theo shook his head. ”How about the woman?”
”Lexie Marsh. Her parents are rich… Well, I can't really call her a spoiled brat since she has made a bit of effort to achieve her current position.” Maya shrugged.
”By the way, what is your place?”
”3rd.”
”Oh? There are two more people above you?”
”They're simply older than me. If we're at the same age, I can beat them.”
”Really?”
”Not really.”
”Oh?” Theo frowned. ”Why?”
