285 The Taste Was Unsatisfactory? (2/2)

”What's the meaning of this, Young Master Nelson? Are you sure you want to offend all of us?”

The young nobles wrinkled their brows.

”What do you think?” Nelson smirked.

”Very good! It seems Young Master Nelson has grown brave in these past few years, huh? I wonder if Young Master Nelson can still be like this when we spread rumors to your Elder Brother's ear that you have intentions to compete with him for heirship over your father's title?”

Nelson's body shook slightly, but he remained firm. It was common for the younger generation to compete when there are multiple heir candidates.

However, he had no intention to compete with his elder brother. So long as his heart was firm and his conscience was clear, there was nothing to be afraid of.

Real gold fears no fire.

”The people inside this VIP lounge want to enjoy their meals in peace. They sent me out to deliver you all a single message, piss off!”

”Bullshit! The elven princess might be royalty, but this is not her elven tribe! This place is our Crawford Kingdom! The way I see it, you're the one that wants us to piss off! We must be disturbing your good time with the elven princess, right?” A young noble sneered.

Evidently, Nelson's words did not make them piss off, but they were definitely pissed off! A few young nobles crackled their knuckles while they eyed Nelson Donahue venomously.

”I think the Young Master Nelson here has grown too complacent and become blinded of his self-worth. Just because your father was also willing to pay a hefty sum pull you out military service, it does not mean you are on the same standing as us, first-borns.”

”That's right! We ought to teach this Bastard his place!”

Despite what these young nobles said, they were all the same in the eyes of the royal family. The only reason the royal family was willing to accept payments and exclude them from military service was that the royal family needed lots of funds.

Also, these good-for-nothings would not have benefited the army if they took interest and assumed high-ranking positions in the future. It would be like equipping the military with paper swords; they will doom the kingdom!

Young Master Conrad had been quietly spectating the verbal exchange between the two sides passively, but things were about to get heated with physical violence. He had no choice but to step in and stop them.

”Exactly where are you treating this place? Do you think Montgomery family will let you all do whatever you want?! I don't care if you fight verbally, but if you get physical and cause trouble here, I will do everything in my power to kick you all out!” Young Master Conrad said coldly.

The young nobles flashed Young Master Conrad looks of disapproval, but they still nodded and backed down unwillingly. When a person gets pushed too far, things become unpredictable.

The two sides kept a respectable distance from each other with glares and continued a back-and-forth war of words.

A line of waiters carrying food trays walked passed them with bafflement before entering the VIP lounge and placed all the dishes on the round table neatly for Leon's group to enjoy.

The door was closed once more on their way out. Only one waiter stayed behind, ever ready to serve.

VIP lounge.

”Will that guy alright out there? Those people are still outside, and they look like they are about to beat him to death.” Faelyn said with concern. She noticed the situation during the moment the door opened.

”Nah, everything is fine and under control. Let's dig in and eat.” Leon said in a carefree manner.

The VIP lounge had excellent sound insulation, but Leon could still see everything outside with his divine sense.

”Hmm, alright. If you say so.” Faelyn did not dwell on the manner and took a whiff of the food's aroma. ”Smells so good~! I'm excited to see what human cuisines taste like now.”

The maids looked Leon expectantly as they waited for some signal.

”You can both dig in too.”

”Thank you, your Highness!”

Each dish on the table was well balanced between veggies and beast meat while it was arranged neatly and masterfully like pieces of art.

As everyone dug in, Leon also picked up a slice of beast meat with his fork and savored it before swallowing.

The male waiter was quite expectant of everyone to sing praises of the taste, but seeing a frown form on Leon's face, the male waiter got taken aback.

”Is there something you find unsatisfactory about this dish, Esteemed Customer?”
