Bloodline Evolution System: Reign of the Dragon Snake

Chapter 395: Keep your enemies close Part7

Xander sat down calmly. He had a quiet and peaceful aura about him as if there wasn’t a crowd of people swarming around him.

“Mana manifestation huh… let’s see what that is all about…” He chuckled and closed his eyes, completely shutting himself off from everything else.

“Woah! Is this elf serious? Is he actually trying to achieve a breakthrough in the middle of a gala?”

“I had expected more from the elf because Sir Lucas had personally invited him, but it turns out that he is just another flashy person lacking any talent.”

“Lord Lucas… What did you really see in the elf?” Even Reynolds smiled and gave a snarky comment, though he was the one who had egged on Xander into doing this.

“Weren’t you the one who brought up this whole thing, Lord Reynolds?” Rhea was almost livid with the whole situation. 

She couldn’t care less about what others were telling and walked up to stand beside Xander, guarding him as the elf calmly continued about cultivating the mana in the air.

Xavier and Charlotte had also by now quietly walked over to stand near Xander.

Seeing how everything had turned out in the end, Lucas could only sigh and give up. “Let’s not make a ruckus.”

“Yes. Yes.” Reynolds chuckled. “Let’s hold off on the judgment until the results are revealed.” He added with a vicious smirk.

Soon, time quickly passed and the crowd somewhat settled down, though for some reason more people had gathered around Xander now.

All eyes were on him as whispers and murmurs swam through the various members of the guild.

Because of this situation, if Xander failed to in fact achieve an actual breakthrough even though such a thing was ridiculously impossible, both he and Lucas would lose face in front of everyone.

However, aside from Reynolds who held a petty personal grudge and was hell-bent on humiliating Xander, no one else really cared about the elf.

Instead, everyone’s attention was rather on Lord Lucas as he had a lot more to lose if he ended up being shamed in the public like this.

The whole evening had quickly gotten out of his hand and Lucas couldn’t help but regret bringing the three elves to the gala in the first place.

The more time passed by, he was getting more nervous when suddenly a group of footsteps echoed at a distance.

“Reinard sama.”

“Boss Reinard.”

“Guild Master Reinard.”

Everyone gathered, including Lucas immediately bowed and greeted the tall human and fairy mixed-race man walking towards the group. “Heh. What is going on here?” 

Reynolds instantly rejoiced while Lucas cursed his bad luck. He was even mentally trying to recall whose face did he wake up to that he was having such insane bad luck.

“Ahh…” He stammered, not knowing how to explain, but Reynolds was more than happy to explain what was going on in his stead.

“Boss Reinard, this elf…” He started to spill the beans when suddenly the fairy human unexpectedly shushed him mid-way.

“Look,” Reinard muttered curiously, his eyes now fixated on Xander.

The air around the elf briefly crackled and right in front of everyone a thin layer of glimmering light now enveloped Xander’s body.

“Woah. What the hell?”

“That elf really achieved a fucking breakthrough?”

“The elf’s perceptivity must be insane to accomplish something like this.”

“Lord Lucas was indeed right in pulling such talent over to our guild.”

Hushed whispers and muffled gasps echoed from the crowd, but as Reinard gave everyone a warning glare, everyone stopped talking and there was pin-drop silence in the room.

No one dared to make a move and some even held their breath watching Xander sitting on the marble floor nonchalantly.

The glimmer around his body slowly grew thicker and thicker until finally, his entire body glowed brightly, a pillar of light shooting up from his body.

The realm of mana manifestation! 4th circle!

In the span of a single evening, the elf in front of them had somehow managed to cross an entire realm as if it was a walk in the park for him.

Rhea smiled gently, gazing at Xander with even more adoration compared to before.

Lucas nodded, inwardly sighing in relief. Most people in the crowd had the same reaction, everyone acknowledging Xander’s prowess.

Only Reynolds had a face that looked like he had chewed on a big piece of ginger. 

Everything he had thrown out was merely accusations, so when Xander slapped him with his actual capabilities, he had no idea how to respond. 

He didn’t think that someone was actually capable of achieving something impossible like this.

Taking another deep breath, Xander flashed his eyes open and calmly stood up. 

“Sorry for making everyone wait. I hope you all can give me some pointers.” His lips curled up to reveal a polite and gentle smile.

Lucas chuckled and he was the first one to talk. “Ha Ha ha. You must be joking Xander. I don’t think anyone here is capable of giving you pointers except for our guild leader.”

“Lord Reinard.” Lucas bowed and then introduced Xander to the guild master. “He is the elf I was talking about earlier.” 

The group of them walked out, while others could only enviously stare at their back.

“Damn it,” Reynolds muttered, his heart filling with regret and bitterness. He had not only boosted up the prestige of the other party but he had also made new and powerful enemies.

Their guild master Reinard was not an ordinary person and not everyone could talk to him so easily and openly.

But now that Lucas was personally introducing the three elves to the Guild Master himself and coupled with the fact that Xander had just now flamboyantly displayed his talent, no one had any doubts about their future prospects.

It was only inevitable that their three newest guild members were going to climb the ladder really fast.

Before long, they might even occupy high positions in the guild which others could only strive for working hard for the rest of their lives.
