The Understated Dragon Lord

Chapter 608 The Grand Banquet

Daniel knew deep down that she wouldn't really do it, but he was scared. What if, in the heat of the moment, she actually cut him? His life would be

over.

"I'll go! I'll go with you, okay?" Daniel surrendered.

"Don't worry, I'm taking you to a great place. I'm taking you to a grand banquet."

"A banquet? Somehow, that doesn't sound like any ordinary dinner party!"

"You're overthinking it. This is the annual gathering of the heirs from the eight most influential families in Washington, D.C. Of course, it's not just them. Heirs from lesser, second or even third-tier families also join in. The party this time is hosted by Down Perkins at the Purple Gold. The question is, do you, a simple country boy, have the nerve to go? After all, you're not an heir to any grand family. Attending this high-society gathering might make you feel like a fish out of water, perhaps even embarrassingly out of place."

"Are you trying to provoke me? My skin is thick enough that your jabs won't work. I know when you invite me to a banquet, you're up to no good. But since you've invited me, I'll play along. Just a fancy party, right? I'm not afraid to have a little fun! Even if it's a trap, I won't be scared!"

As he said that, Daniel became suspicious.

"If it's a proper banquet, shouldn't it be held during dinner time? It's the middle of the night; you don't have high-society banquets at this hour. Is this party a midnight affair?"

"Country bumpkin, you've hit the nail on the head! It is indeed a midnight event! Because that's when the Spirit Animals come out. Purple Gold keeps many Spirit Animals. The first game of the high-society bash is hunting!"

"Hunting? And the prey is Spirit Animals?"

"Yes! The prey is Spirit Animals. Those Spirit Animals are extremely vicious, thousands of times fiercer than the fiercest of wild beasts. Whoever manages to kill or tame the most impressive Spirit Animat will be the champion, and that Spirit Animal will then be their prize!"

"This time's grand banquet, hosted by Down, comes with a twist in the hunting game rules. During the hunt, no weapons are allowed. It's all bare-handed combat with the Spirit Animals. Moreover, participants aren't allowed to kill, only to fame. The Spirit Animal of this event is The Spirit Cat!"

"The Spirit Cat?"

That name piqued Daniel's interest considerably. If that was truly The Spirit Cat, he could keep it as a pet. After all, the spiritual energy radiating from The Spirit Cat could aid his own cultivation.

Furthermore, he did indeed need a few Spirit Animals as pets. When facing formidable enemies, or needing to do things he couldn't be seen doing, he could rely on these little companions.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

While human loyalty can change, and the most faithful person may become treacherous and unreliable, pets won't.
