"The Old Xu Family is incredible! First Xu Yang, and now Xu Qing."
"I'm so jealous of Brother Xu. He actually gets to attend the Dragon Ascension banquet."
"Brother Xu is their paternal uncle. The banquet can't even start without him. How pathetic that Xu the Second can only be here, gnawing on a steamed bun."
"Xu the Second, you must be blind. You abandoned two Dragon Ascension Geniuses."
"Xu the Second, do you have any regrets?"
...
As the crowd chattered, the conversation turned to Xu the Second.
Every word they spoke was like a knife twisting in Xu the Second's heart, and his face turned deathly pale.
How could he not regret it? His guts were practically twisting in knots from it.
Suffocating with frustration, he silently returned to his room. He no longer felt hungry, and he'd even forgotten about snatching the money back from Zhang Cuiting.
