59 Classmate Reunion (2/2)

Wang Baole touched his nose slightly and remained silent as he looked at both Zhou Xin and Huang Gui.

After listening to Zhou Xin's introduction, the classmates finally understood the significance of being a Head Prefect. Everyone was surprised and shocked as they looked at Huang Gui, their faces revealing looks of reverence. They all raised their glasses to give Huang Gui a toast.

Huang Gui returned the toast to everyone, but he only took a small sip of wine every time. When the atmosphere became more upbeat, Huang Gui's attention fell on Wang Baole.

Since the start, Wang Baole had never given Huang Gui a toast, and that filled Huang Gui with displeasure. Now, Huang Gui began to ask about Wang Baole while smiling.

”Baole, I heard that you gained admission to Ethereal Dao College. How are you doing now?”

Without waiting for Wang Baole to reply, Huang Gui waved his hand to dismiss him.

”Forget it, I shall not add salt to injury. We were all classmates, and it was known that you merely met the minimum requirements to gain admission. You're probably still studying… which faculty are you in now?”

Wang Baole felt his rage rising, as he curtly replied, ”The Dharmic Armament faculty!”

”Ah, the Dharmic Armament faculty. That is an unusual faculty. It's tough, but as long as you persevere, you'll have a bright future. If you had chosen to enter the Alchemy faculty, I could still help you. Although I wouldn't be able to let you rise to the top hundred of the class, it would be no problem making it to the top thousand.” Huang Gui did not care about Wang Baole's tone. To him, the only person who was worth his time to interact in this class gathering is Du Min.

That was because Du Min had grown much prettier. As for the others present, Huang Gui felt that the gap between him and them was too large to be overlooked.

As Huang Gui continued his insults, Wang Baole grew increasingly irritated. If they weren't classmates, and this was not a class gathering but a situation in the Dao College, Wang Baole would have long taken action. He felt depressed, and noticed Du Min looking at him, happy that he was being ridiculed. He immediately responded with a death stare.

Looking at Wang Baole's expression, Du Min was immensely pleased and delighted. She turned her attention back to Huang Gui and began to smile coyly.

”What Huang Gui said can't be any more correct!”

Upon getting Du Min's approval, Huang Gui was delighted. He became more loquacious than before and began sharing his experiences at the Holy River Dao College, clearly flaunting himself with every opportunity possible.

Wang Baole was immensely irritated. He thought of Liu Daobin. They were not classmates from the foundation school, so he was absent from this class gathering. Had Liu Daobin been present, he would have revealed Wang Baole's status in college, and everything would have been perfect.

If Wang Baole revealed his identity himself, he would be no different from Huang Gui. Things like this should be made known through others. Therefore, with unhappiness, Wang Baole rubbed his tummy as he planned to make his leave.

Right at this moment, in the gathering hall of Cultured Hotel, a middle-aged man with a stout built and a determined gaze that looked immensely authoritative walked through the hall to enter the premium lounge, escorted by his subordinate and an employee of the hotel.

However, when he passed Wang Baole and company, his eyes catching a glance of all of them, he stopped in his steps. He took a closer look at Wang Baole before revealing a hearty smile. He quickened his steps to arrive before the table where Wang Baole was seated.

He was accompanied by many people, all of whom were surprised but still followed behind the middle-aged man. Their appearance immediately caught the attention of those seated around the table.

The facial expression of Chen Bing, the employee of the Federation, changed immediately. He got up right away, and the others, including Wang Baole, also raised their heads in surprise. From his imposing manner, the middle-aged man was clearly someone distinguished.

Just as they all looked up, the middle-aged man let out a cheery laugh.

”You're Baole, right? Haha, I am Daobin's father. I heard from him that you've helped him a lot in school, even to the extent of helping him enter the College Discipline Department. I am so thankful to you.” That middle-aged man was indeed Liu Daobin's father, the Deputy City Lord of Phoenix City. He had seen a picture of Wang Baole from Liu Daobin and was now smiling amiably as he held Wang Baole's hand.

Wang Baole was momentarily taken aback but quickly greeted him with a smile. ”City Lord Liu?”

”Ah, drop the term 'City Lord'! Just call me uncle. This meal is on me. Baole, please take good care of our Daobin. If he is disobedient, discipline him as you like!” Liu Daobin's father was extremely passionate, even polite, as if treating Wang Baole like his own nephew.

This whole series of events left the people who were following him flabbergasted. They all looked at Wang Baole, trying to figure out his status and background.

Very quickly, Liu Daobin's father raised his glass and toasted everyone seated around the table. Chen Bing quickly greeted him anxiously, but after noticing that he was an employee of the Federation, Liu Daobin's father merely nodded and did not direct much attention to him. Instead, he spent a few more moments chatting with Wang Baole before leaving.

Everyone seated around the table was shocked. The conversation that took place between Wang Baole and the middle-aged man revealed the man's status, which was further confirmed by Chen Bing's actions. They all fell silent as they looked at Wang Baole, unsure how to proceed.

It was clear now that Wang Baole, who had kept a low profile since the beginning, was the one that was the most mysterious and gave everyone the biggest surprise.
