The armor shining brightly under the light and the almost hairless head attracted everyone's attention at once.
Everyone looked at Adams standing at the door of the banquet hall in surprise. Their eyes couldn't help but linger on his head for a while, and then their expressions became a little weird.
I heard that the Goodell family has hereditary alopecia. Both the previous generation patriarch and Chanier went bald early.
However, Adams has always shown a luxuriant appearance, which was confusing for a time.
Now it seems that he may have hidden his symptoms of premature baldness before. In fact, he has followed in the footsteps of his father and grandfather and became a member of the bald army.
"What a pity..." I don't know how many young ladies' hearts made a shattering sound. As a perfect spokesperson with money, good looks, and a body of muscles, Adams is almost the best choice for a marriage partner, but he is bald at a young age. Damn it, this is really unacceptable.
"Pfft hahaha."
Several young people who had gathered around to sneer at Adams looked at Adams for a moment, and then burst into sarcastic laughter.
The atmosphere in the entire banquet hall suddenly fell into embarrassment because of Adams' appearance.
Hill looked at Adams with a hint of surprise in his eyes. His gaze fell from the top of his head to the shining armor on his body, with an interested smile on his lips.
"Looking at it this way, it really looks like a father and son." Michael looked at Adams and then at Chanier, with a smile on his lips.
"Adams..." Chanier was slightly startled when he looked at Adams. He didn't expect that Adams would appear in such a way. You must know that since his hair became thinning, he began to refuse to see people, and after having a wig, even if Even at home, he would always wear a wig. Except for a few old servants, no one knew that his hair had fallen out, but now he took off the wig himself.
As for the armor on his body, even a tenth-level knight like the Lord of the City would still change out of his armor and put on a decent dress when attending a dinner party. He obviously dressed like this on purpose.
Charney's expression quickly returned to calmness, showing an expected look. He looked at Adams with a smile and said: "Adams, you are here."
"Three years ago, you once said that this was an agreement between men. The three-year period has arrived. As an upright man, of course I have to fulfill this agreement." Adams walked towards the banquet hall holding his sword. With his straight figure and handsome face, although there is almost no hair visible on the top of his head, it still makes people want to take a second look.
"So handsome! Even without hair, he can kill those guys who can't even stand up straight." A young lady held her heart and showed a bit of a girlish smile.
"Haha, how can you be so handsome when you're bald? You're such a big braised egg." A young man with a thin body and sunken eyes said with a sneer, and several young people in colorful clothes beside him also chuckled. , with ridicule and pride written all over his face.
Chanier was originally worried that Adams would be completely depressed because of this incident. Seeing his steady expression, he couldn't help feeling a little emotional. It seemed that Adams finally figured it out. He nodded with a smile and said: "It seems that my child has indeed grown up. He has become a real man who can take responsibility and fulfill his promises. If so, I can rest assured that I will entrust the Goodell family to you in the future."
"Clan Chief Chanier, congratulations on getting an excellent successor."
"Master Adams will surely become as good a businessman as you."
People around him have already begun to congratulate and flatter him in advance, and some people are holding up their wine glasses and preparing to toast.
Chanier's face glowed red. He had been waiting for this day for many years, and it finally came.
It was his greatest wish to inherit the great fortune of the Goodell family and train Adams to become an excellent businessman and a qualified patriarch.
Everyone felt that the outcome of this three-year agreement was already a foregone conclusion. This was just a grand appearance ceremony prepared by Chanier for Adams, which meant that he had officially entered this powerful circle and would eventually become the best among them. .
A formality without any suspense.
Chanier put a hand on Adams' shoulder and announced loudly: "I, Chanier, the patriarch of the Goodell family, officially announce here today that my son Adams will become the only son of the Goodell family..."
"Father." Adams interrupted Chanier, looked into his eyes and said seriously: "We agreed three years ago that if I cannot become an intermediate knight within three years, then I will unconditionally obey all your arrangements. , whether it’s getting married or inheriting the family property. But if I become an intermediate knight, then from now on, I will lead my own life, and you will not interfere in any way, right?"
The banquet hall was quiet, and everyone looked at Adams with some confusion, wondering why he would repeat this meaningless agreement.
Chanier looked at Adams, smiled and nodded: "Yes, we agreed like this three years ago, so now it's time for you to fulfill your promise."
"Zheng!"
Adams pulled out the long sword from his waist, and then raised it high above his head. A golden light lit up from the hilt of the sword, climbed up along the lines on the sword, and turned into a golden light that enveloped the long sword. Overshadowing the gorgeous chandelier overhead.
"This... this is the sword energy turning into light! The most obvious manifestation of an intermediate knight!" Someone in the crowd shouted softly.
The quiet banquet hall gradually became noisy. Everyone looked at the shining sword with surprised expressions on their faces.
"Adams actually became a fourth-level knight!"
"How is this possible? Doesn't it mean that his strength has not improved but retreated in the past three years? Why did he suddenly break through?" The skinny young man who had previously mocked had an expression of disbelief, as if he had swallowed a fly.
"But in this case, then Adams should win the three-year contract, right?"
More eyes were turned to Chanier. He had worked so hard to create such a battle just to pave the way for Adams and let him enter the circle of powerful people in the city of chaos. Unexpectedly, he reversed course at the last moment. This is so unexpected.
"This kid is quite interesting." Michael looked at Adams with a little more appreciation. How many powerful people worked hard to fight for power, but this kid didn't want anything. He just wanted to be a real knight. Such a young man People are so rare.
"This... is not... this..." Chanier looked at the glowing sword in Adams' hand and opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.
