Chapter 656: Let's Have a Knight Battle (2)
Rebirth of a Nation's Darling – Prince Charming
âDear Ace, youâre wrong. Maggie is just playing with you. Youâre too arrogant.â He was a man in his late twenties, with dark brown hair that was close to black, deep eye sockets, and a pair of eyes that were light yellow like glass.
This man was definitely not handsome. It should be said that he had a strange charm. However, this was relative to some people. In the eyes of others, he might be ugly.
â Mr. Pierce, you shouldnât blame Ace.â Si Huang gave Ace a comforting look, then turned to smile at the uninvited man.â As you said, Ace was just playing with Maggie.â
âWho do you think you are? You have no right to speak here!â Maggie scolded in dissatisfaction.
She hated Si Huang because this man was treated specially by Arthur and because this man had used some tricks to defeat Arthurâ¦Thatâs right, in Maggieâs eyes, Arthur was the best. Si Huang must have done something bad to beat Arthur in the photo shoot. Perhaps it was just as others had guessed, he had seduced Queen Eliza, just like how he was shamelessly accompanying Ace now.
What made Maggie the most jealous was that Arthur had said that she couldnât even compare to a strand of hair on this man. She was so jealous! Regardless of gender, she would be jealous of anyone who made Arthur look at her differently!
Si Huang didnât respond to Maggieâs scolding, but looked at her indifferently, his eyes indifferent and gentle.
This wasnât a cowardly concession, but a gentlemanly act of not stooping to the level of a lady.
With this comparison, the onlookers felt that the person who was really unreasonable was Maggie. After making the same comparison, Mr. Pierce, who had come uninvited, interrupted the conversation between Ace and Maggie without permission and summarized their conversation. It was also rude to judge Aceâs mistakes.
Leo Pierce also noticed this. His expression didnât change, but he was already very dissatisfied with Phoenix Si.
What right did a commoner Asian have to put on airs in front of him? Pretending to be more noble than him? However, no matter how much he looked like it, he was still pretending!
âMaggie, donât say that, sirâ¦â â Oh, Iâm sorry. May I know your name?â Leo Pierce asked Phoenix Si with a fake smile.
âYou can call me King.â Phoenix Si did not seem to notice his deliberate actions and smiled elegantly.
Leo Pierce held his breath in front of this unsophisticated smile. He wanted to scold Phoenix Si for his arrogance, but he had no reason to do so.â What an arrogant name, but I think K is more intimate.â
âPlease do as you please.â Si Huang didnât mind at all.â Mr. Pierce.â
â..âLeo Pierceâs face twitched.
Of course, he did not call him K because he wanted to be closer to Phoenix Si. He just did not want to call this arrogant Asian king. However, this brat actually called him Mr. Pierce after he showed his friendliness, which made him seem distant. It was as if he had gone over with enthusiasm, but was rejected by the other party with disdain. Of course, Leo Pierce didnât really want to get close to Phoenix, nor did he want a commoner Asian to call his name. However, he was even more unhappy that he had lost to Phoenix.
âHahahahaha.â A burst of laughter was heard, and a young man walked over.â Leo, when did you become so amiable?â
Si Huang looked over and recognized that this person was one of the members that Ace had specially introduced to her. His name was Eddy Butler. She remembered what Ace had introduced him to. He was an idle bum who liked to cause trouble.
Upon seeing this fellow, Aceâs expression changed. He furrowed his delicate brows and showed an undisguised look of disdain.
Si Huang wasnât the only one who saw this expression. Everyone present could see it clearly. However, Eddie Butler was like a wolfhound that had smelled meat, revealing a drooling gaze. He walked to Ace with a smile and bent down. He pulled her hand and wanted to kiss the back of her hand.â My dear Ace, long time no see.â You donât know how much I miss you!â
Aceâs eyes were filled with disgust, but he maintained his upright posture and did not move.
A hand blocked Eddie Butlerâs movement.
Compared to the affectionate gaze he had when he looked at Ace, when Eddy Butler turned to look at Si Huang, his gaze was cold, sharp, and arrogant, silently expelling her.
Soon, Eddy Butlerâs expression changed slightly, and his eyes were filled with surprise.
He had already secretly exerted strength in his hand, but he did not succeed in pushing away the Asian youth who did not look strong!
Mr. Butler, I know Ace is very cute, but Iâm her male companion today.â Si Huang noticed that Eddy Butler was still not moving, so he shook his palm slightly.
Eddy Butler took a step back from the push and looked at Si Huang in surprise.â Oh, youâre really strong, but your words make me very unhappy. I hate all the men around Ace.â
âExcept for those who are stronger than me,â said Eddie Butler before Phoenix Si could speak.
âButler, donât use me as an excuse.â Aceâs tone was stern.â You know the consequences of making me angry!â
âOh! Dear Ace, the more you protect him, the angrier I get.â Eddy Butler said with a smile.
Although he looked like he was joking, Si Huang could feel the real anger in his eyes, so there was some truth in what he said.
Women were always one of the triggers of menâs wars. Although Ace was still a young girl, it did not stop her charm from attracting some people.
âDo you want to be the princess âknight?â Eddy Butler smiled at Si Huang.â Then letâs have a righteous knight battle. I think this party is a little boring.â
He took off his gloves and threw them at Si Huangâs face.
If Phoenix Si didnât take it, the glove would have hit her face, forming a real slap in the face.
Si Huang caught it easily and looked at the young man who was smiling proudly in front of him. He thought to himself that Aceâs conclusion was right. This person really liked to cause trouble and was very good at causing trouble. He was a troublesome fellow who could cause trouble to develop naturally.
