Instead of answering John’s question, Eric shook his glass. Seeing Eric’s furrowed brow, John raised his head.
“Must have been in a bad mood that day. You know, he’s moody. He acts according to his mood every day.”
“Yeah. Just think that I had bad luck.”
When Derek tried to console him, Eric frowned and said, “It’s nothing. I just wanted some advice.”
“Why not ask Belus casually?”
“Business advice from that guy? That’s a funny idea.”
John and Derek exchanged glances. Eric rarely openly expressed discomfort like this.
“Of course, when Belus comes, he’ll act as if everything is always relaxed and be a good guy, but…”
“By the way, Belus probably won’t come today, right?”
John and Derek each had their own thoughts while holding their glasses. It was at that moment, deep into the night, that voices were heard from the entrance that seemed to disturb those returning home.
“Hello, friends!”
It was Belus. Moreover, he looked very cheerful. The three men were surprised at Belus’s noisy entrance.
“Guess who I brought with me today.”
Belus said, tapping the shoulder of the man beside him. The three men were not only bewildered, but their mouths were wide open.
“Jen Baker?”
“Long time no see.”
All eyes focused on one person. Jen Baker, the most handsome and young bourgeois investor making the most money in the country.
“We recently met coincidentally on the street and had a good conversation. So, I invited him to the club. Is that okay?”
Belus, sitting comfortably on the sofa, said. The three men quickly exchanged glances and replied.
“Sure.”
“It’s even more welcome to meet in a place like this.”
Smiling slightly, Belus pointed to a seat for Jen in a playful manner.
“Don’t just stand there. Sit down. It’s hard to look up at you when you stand so tall.”
“If you say so.”
Jen, who laughed softly, took a seat, and the other young men in the club murmured quietly. It was because there had never been a time when a bourgeois mixed with the table where Belus sat.
“Mr. Baker, look at this. I told everyone that they would all greet you when you come.”
“Since Belus invited me, it must be possible.”
“Come on, why are you so humble?”
Belus’s eyelashes fluttered splendidly like a lady’s fan.
“I’ll have whiskey, and what about you? We have a special whiskey here.”
“Then, I’ll have the same.”
“Okay. Two of those.”
As Belus casually ordered a light drink from the staff, John, who was keeping an eye on how to intervene, whispered a low voice.
“But did you really meet coincidentally on the street?”
“Oh. I met him while coming out of Eric’s mansion before.”
Belus casually mentioned the incident with Eric as if it were already forgotten. However, Eric’s complexion turned pale in an instant.
“Belus, I was the one at that time…”
“No. Why are you suddenly apologizing again?”
Belus said playfully, putting his arm around Eric’s shoulder.
“It’s really okay, so don’t ruin the good atmosphere.”
“…”
Eric, like a frightened mouse in front of a satiated lion, tightly sealed his lips to settle his stomach. Belus seemed to enjoy Eric’s appearance, and a sly smile crossed his face.
“Everyone, feel free to ask Mr. Baker anything. Don’t hold back.”
“Something you want to ask?”
Derek said with an awkward smile.
“Yeah. You guys were curious before, right? What this person invests in, etc.”
John’s smiling face trembled.
‘Why talk about that…!’
Thanks to Belus, the three nobles became like mice in front of one bourgeois’s actions. While maintaining a smile, John sent a resentful gaze to Belus.
‘He’s so clueless…’
John continued to smile, but his eyes cooledly observed Belus after realizing that he was not just an ignorant fellow.
‘Darn it. He’s doing this on purpose.’
This was something they couldn’t avoid. In that case, he thought it was better to satisfy their curiosity rather than just biting their lips.
“Yeah, Belus has prepared an interesting gathering, so let’s ask him directly.”
As John spoke cheerfully, Jen responded with an elegant smile.
“Feel free to ask.”
“Have you recently invested in the automotive industry or anything like that?”
“Haha. The automotive industry? Why are you suddenly talking about that?”
Jen laughed as if it was an unexpected question.
“No, whenever you come out in the city, you’re always in a car.”
“Oh, is that why you’re asking?”
Jen nodded gracefully, not losing his relaxed smile.
“Well, then. It’s just a gift from Bem, Glass’s representative, and I’m using it. Is there anything else?”
“Hmm? Do you have a close relationship with the representative there?”
“He’s the first person I met in Grazian. Thanks to him, I could adapt well here.”
“I see.”
Derek replied casually. As they were about to move on, John tilted his head and asked.
“So, you only received the gift and didn’t invest?”
“Yes, that’s correct. There’s no other meaning.”
Belus observed Jen’s straightforward answer with narrowed eyes. Sensing that gaze, Jen maintained a satisfied smile.
My Ex-Girlfriend Is The Regent In The Female-dominant World (Male lead transmigrates to the matriarchal world)
Two years ago, Gu Sui picked up a homeless woman in ancient costume from the street.
Apart from occasionally claiming to be a princess from a female-dominant country due to illness, her figure, appearance, intelligence, and martial arts skills were impeccable.
Naturally evolving from roommates to girlfriends, as time went on, Gu Sui found it increasingly difficult to tolerate her queen syndrome.
“Mu Jiulu, can you stop controlling me inside and out? Let’s break up.”
Gu Sui made a breakup call, and since then, he couldn’t find any trace of her.
A year later, Gu Sui, who was planning to move, woke up the next day and found himself in a different place.
“Young Master, today is the day you choose your Wife-master through martial arts competition at Jade Dew Pavilion. Please get up quickly.”
Gu Sui: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
As the only son of a general’s mansion in a female-dominant dynasty, the young empress personally issued a decree allowing Gu Sui to select his Wife-master through martial arts competition. Whoever could defeat him could marry him.
Gu Sui: “……”
He didn’t inherit the original owner’s martial prowess, so anyone could defeat him! And what the hell is a Wife-master?
Forced to come to Jade Dew Pavilion, the densely packed women below made Gu Sui’s agoraphobia act up, and his face was full of resistance.
Until he saw the Regent sitting on the second floor, with a smile on the corner of her lips, her eyes wicked and nonchalant.
Hmm… she looked a little familiar.
It turned out that the Regent also found him a little familiar.
Mu Jiulu fiddled with her bone clasp, her deep gaze locked on the man who was out of place in this world.
“Finally, I found you.”
