Chapter 1146: Now It’s Time For You To Acknowledge It.

The s.h.i.+ny armor under the bright light and that almost hairless head attracted everyone’s attention instantly.

Everyone was staring at Adams, who was standing at the banquet hall’s entrance, in a surprise. Their gazes couldn’t help but land on top of his head, and their expressions began to look weird.

They had heard that the Gould Family had hereditary baldness. Be it the previous patriarch or Charney, they both went bald at a young age.

However, Adams had always portrayed an image with plenty of hair which once made people suspicious.

Looking at him now, he should have been covering up the symptoms of his early hair loss problem previously. In fact, he had already followed in the footsteps of his father and grandfather, and was part of the bald men faction.

“What a pity…” One could only wonder how many young mistresses had their hearts shattered. Adams was rich, handsome, and muscular—almost the perfect candidate for a marriage alliance. But now, he was bald at such a young age, which was difficult to accept.

“Pfff… Hahaha.”

Those young men who’d gathered together to snicker at Adams earlier were stunned. Then, they began laughing sarcastically.

The ambience of the banquet hall was plunged into an awkwardness because of Adams’ appearance.

There was a hint of surprise in Scheer’s eyes when she looked at Adams. Her gaze started from the top of his head, and then landed on his s.h.i.+ny armor. An interested smile appeared on her lips.

“They do look like father and son now.” Michael looked at Adams and then at Charney. He, too, began to smile.

“Adams…” Charney was also stunned when he saw Adams. He never expected Adams would show up like this. Adams had refused to meet anyone ever since he started to lose his hair, and when he received his wig, he always wore it, even when he was at home. Apart from a few old servants, no one knew he had already lost all his hair. But now, he actually took off his wig on his own accord.

As for the armor he was wearing, even a 10th-tier knight like the city lord would remove his armor and change into an appropriate evening when they were invited to an evening banquet. He had dressed like that deliberately.

Charney’s expression returned to its original calmness again. He pretended he knew what was going on and smiled at Adams. “You are here, Adams.”

“You said three years ago this was a pact between men. Three years have pa.s.sed, and as a real man, I have to come and fulfil this agreement.” Adams walked to the center of the banquet hall with his sword. His strapping figure and handsome face made people take a double look even though he had almost no hair.

“So handsome! Even though he has no hair, he still looks much better than those guys who can’t even stand straight.” A young mistress held her hands to her heart and revealed a mesmerized smile.

“Ah. What’s the point of acting cool when he is already bald? What a big braised egg.” A skinny young man with sunken eyes sneered, and a few young men wearing luxurious clothes started to laugh too. Their expressions were full of sarcasm and smugness.

Initially, Charney was still worried Adams might be depressed because of this, but looking at his calm expression, he lamented that Adams had finally sorted out his thoughts. He nodded and smiled. “Seems like my child has really matured into a real man who is able to undertake responsibilities and fulfil his promises. In this case, I can pa.s.s Gould Family to you in the future.”

“Congratulations for obtaining an outstanding successor, Chief Charney.”

“Young Master Adams will definitely become a businessman as outstanding as you.”

The people around him had already begun to congratulate and suck up to him. Some even raised their gla.s.ses and prepared to toast him.

There was a glow on Charney’s face. He had waited for this day for so many years, and it was finally here.

In order to make sure that the huge family business of the Gould Family could continue, grooming Adams into an outstanding businessman and an adequate patriarch was his greatest wish.

Everyone believed that the outcome of the three-year agreement was already fixed. This was only a grand introduction ceremony that Charney had prepared for Adams to signify his formal entrance into the rich and powerful circle, and him taking his place at the pinnacle eventually.

It was simply going through the motions.

Charney placed one hand on Adams’ shoulder, and loudly declared, “I, Charney, the Chief of Gould Family, hereby formally announce that my son, Adams, will become the Gould Family’s only—”

“Father,” Adams interrupted Charney, and seriously said, “We have made an agreement three years ago. If I failed to become a mid-tier knight, then I would obey and follow all your arrangements unconditionally, be it marriage or inheriting the family fortune. But if I could advance to mid-tier knight, then from today onward, I would be in charge of my own life, and you would not interfere anymore, right?”

The banquet hall fell into a complete silence, and everyone was staring at Adams perplexedly. They couldn’t understand why he was repeating this agreement which was already meaningless now.

Charney smiled and nodded at Adams. “Yes, we did make an agreement like that three years ago, so now it’s time for you to acknowledge it.”

“Clink!”

Adams took out the sword at his waist, and then raised it above his head. A golden beam lit up at the handle, and then travelled up the sword along the patterns. Finally, it became a golden light that engulfed the entire longsword. It shone even brighter than the opulent hanging light on the ceiling.

“This… This is the Light of the Sword Projection! This is the most obvious manifestation of the mid-tier knight!” someone in the crowd exclaimed.

The quiet banquet hall became noisy slowly as everyone stared at that glowing longsword with shock on their face.

“Adams has really become a 4th-tier knight!”

“How could this happen? Didn’t they say his power had deteriorated in the past three years? How did he advance so suddenly?” The skinny young man who was saying all the sarcastic words earlier felt as if he just swallowed a fly.

“However, in this case, Adams has won this three-year agreement?”

Even more gazes landed on Charney. He had planned such a grand event to pave a way for Adams to enter the circle of the rich and powerful of Chaos City, but the tables were turned on him at the very last minute, which was truly unexpected.

This chap is quite interesting. Michael began to look at Adams with appreciation in his eyes. There were numerous offspring of the powerful families who would plot and scheme for power and fortune, but this chap wanted nothing to do with them, and only wanted to be a true knight. This type of young person was rare.

“This… No… This…” Charney stared at the longsword in Adams’ hand with his mouth wide open. He was speechless.
