The Goodale Manor was brightly lit, and a dinner party was going on. The nobles in gorgeous dresses held crystal cups and talked and laughed with each other.
Mr. Chanier, the patriarch of the Goodell family, invites everyone to participate in this three-year appointment between their father and son.
Of course, everyone close to Chanier knows that he intends to take this opportunity to grandly introduce his successor to everyone.
Everyone knows that the eldest son of the Goodell family doesn't like doing business, but prefers to be a knight. This has made Chanier very anxious these years.
However, the three-year agreement has come tonight, and the young man who was once praised for his extraordinary talent has not been able to become an intermediate knight. According to the agreement, he will give up his ideals of knighthood and become the successor of the Goodell family.
As one of the four major families in the City of Chaos, the Goodell family has considerable influence in the City of Chaos. This kind of treatment as an only son makes the noble children of other families who are struggling to compete for inheritance rights envious.
But this young Master Adams is stubborn and only wants to be a knight. He has become a joke in the circle of second-generation children.
"That Young Master Adams must be having a hard time today, right? He is about to be forced to inherit hundreds of millions of family assets."
"Ha, if you say no, you may be happy in your heart. How can there be a fool in this world who doesn't like money."
"Isn't that right? I heard that many families want to send the eldest lady to Goodale to pretend to be a real person. He should be very happy too."
Several young men of power gathered together, laughing and talking, their tone full of disdain and ridicule, but their expressions showed envy and jealousy.
Chanier was very happy today, smiling to welcome the guests, and his bald head seemed to shine a lot.
Her wife stood beside him, also welcoming the guests with a smile. When no one was around, she tugged on Charney's sleeve and whispered: "Master, is Adams unhappy? You made such a big mistake Will he feel embarrassed and not want to come?"
"Don't worry, the chivalry he loves most includes honesty and trustworthiness. He will definitely come. This is an agreement between men." Chanier shook his head without worry, and then stepped forward with a smile. After two steps, he shook hands with Hill, who had just arrived, and said with a smile: "Ms. Hill, thank you for coming."
"You're welcome, this interesting duel is worth witnessing with your own eyes." Hill retracted his hand and said with a smile.
"The City Lord has arrived!" A voice sounded, and everyone suddenly became much quieter. They all looked in the direction of the door. They were a little surprised that Chanier had invited the City Lord here.
"Lord City Lord, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to come." Chanier and his wife hurriedly came forward and said respectfully, with smiles on their faces.
He worked hard to build momentum for Adams today, but as the successor of the Goodell family, he deserves such a scene.
"Chaniel, I'm not here for you today, but for our young knight who is worried about inheriting the family property or becoming an excellent knight. I personally strongly support him to become an excellent knight and protect the land of chaos. City." Michael smiled generously.
Chanier was stunned for a moment, but soon smiled and said: "You are his idol. If he hears what you say, he will probably be extremely happy."
Guests arrived one after another, and a man who was relatively close to Chanier said with a smile: "Chaniel, where is our Knight Adams? He is the protagonist today."
"Don't worry, he will come. He should be on the way now." Chanier responded with a smile and winked at the old butler standing aside. The butler understood, turned around and left quickly.
Everyone exchanged glasses and laughed with each other. There were not many dinner parties like this that brought together half the dignitaries of the city of chaos. Many people came here to make more friends and establish deeper relationships with the dignitaries. Purpose.
As for witnessing the eldest son of the Goodell family becoming the heir, it was just a formality. The news about him was not a secret. He had made no progress in three years, and it was basically concluded that he would never be able to become an intermediate knight in this life.
Of course, being a family successor does not require any strong personal force, so after he completely controls the Goodell family, he will still become one of the few powerful people in the City of Chaos.
The efforts he made to become a knight were nothing more than a joke in the eyes of most people.
"Chaniel, now you can retire with peace of mind." A middle-aged man clinked his wine glass with Chanier and said with a smile.
"For him to be familiar with business and know how to manage a family business, I think retirement is still a long way off." Chanier shook his head, and the smile on his face betrayed his mood.
The entire dinner was a joyful one, and everyone was waiting for Adams' arrival. The three-year appointment could also come to an end.
…
"Young Master..." The old butler raised his hand and was about to knock on the door when the door opened from the inside and Adams, wearing gold and silver armor, came out with a big sword hanging on his waist.
He was not wearing armor, and his hair was very short, almost bald. However, if you look closely, you can still see that the short hair is like grass that has just sprouted in spring and is growing hard.
"Let's go." Adams glanced at the old butler and said calmly.
"Young... Young Master, it's not appropriate for you to dress like this. I've just prepared a dress for you. Why don't you go back and change into a dress." The butler said hesitantly. He felt that the young master looked a little different today, but he didn't. I can't tell the difference.
"No need, I'm not going to the dinner party today, I'm just fulfilling my three-year agreement." Adams walked forward first.
"Master, this is not appropriate..." The old butler hurriedly followed. He finally figured out why Adams looked different. He was not wearing a wig today.
"Moreover! The young master's hair has actually grown back!" The old housekeeper followed Adams, looking at the short hair sprouting from the shining head, and felt shocked in his heart.
As an old man who has stayed at Goodell Manor all his life, he has witnessed the bald life of Old Goodell, and has also witnessed the gradual transformation of Patriarch Chanier from a bald boy to a bald middle-aged man. He has also watched Young Master Adams become a hero. Early baldness.
Baldness is like a curse, firmly placed on the heads of the Goodell family.
But now!
Adams actually grew his hair back!
Isn't this incredible? !
"Father, I'm here."
Adams stepped into the banquet hall and said loudly.
