Chapter 508 - Terry & Nicolae Meet Alaric (1/2)
Nicolae admitted that the man in front of Terry was very intimidating, but he wasn't afraid at all. Without hesitation, he stared back at Alaric and the two looked at each other.
”Welcome to the Ritz Gala.” Finally, Terry took the initiative to break the ice. He didn't want to be seen in the slightest conflict to maintain the reputation of the event. This prestigious event was held at his hotel, after all. Even though this guest in front of him looked super annoying, he must still act friendly. ”My name is Terrence Chan. May I know who you are?”
Alaric finally looked back at him and nodded. ”Good evening, Mr. Chan. I know who you are. My name is Elios Linden.”
Alaric's attitude was neither friendly nor curtly, making Terry at a loss of what to say. Finally, he nodded back and raised his hand to invite Alaric into the ballroom.
”Please enjoy the program. Millian will see you soon.”
He then walked back to the lobby and Nicolae followed suit, leaving Alaric to be surrounded by a group of girls looking for new prey short after the two left.
”That's the number one man from Forsythe's Most Influential Men this year,” Terry whispered to Nicolae as they arrived at the lobby. ”I didn't expect him to be so young!”
”Hmm...” Nicolae just nodded. He couldn't forget the face and appearance of the person earlier. For some reason, he felt that the person was familiar. As for where that familiar feeling came from, he didn't know.
”Did you notice his appearance?” Terry asked again. He shook his head and tried to find the right words, ”I've never seen an ordinary person who looks like that. He's just like an Alchemist.”
Nicolae frowned. He felt that what Terry said was right. After contemplating for a while, he finally nodded in agreement, ”Actually, I thought so too. Why don't you ask Uncle Caspar? He might know him.”
”Hmm... You're right.” Terry massaged his forehead and hurried back into the ballroom. ”I have to know if he really is an Alchemist or not.”
Nicolae just laughed at Terry shuffling. His best friend was very competitive. He had met the President of Malta, who was the youngest president in the world, today and Terry just laughed when he realized William was not handsome at all. Prince Niels of Sweden had also experienced premature baldness, so Terry didn't feel that he had met any worthy rival.
But the appearance of Elios Linden just now really annoyed Terry and made him want to defeat Elios. That was why now Terry decided to reenter the ballroom and observe his rival.
Elios Linden got one of the most respected tables in the front part. There sat Pavel Adler and his wife, Sande, as guests from Splitz, and Rosalien, who came as the sole representative of Rhionen Industries.
The other guests and the committee seemed very focused on Alaric's table. This was because this year, Rhionen-Meier Industries and Splitz indeed became the talk of the world. In addition to his influence as the group's owner, Alaric's good looks and appearance were also of particular interest to most of the women present at the event and the tens of millions of viewers who attended the Ritz Gala from Virconnect's space.
