"I don't like it when people say I'm pretty."

It wasn't Asha who spoke, but Qi Yuan.

His voice was somewhat cold, carrying a hint of displeasure.

Because he was wearing a wig, with long bangs covering his eyes, Nick couldn't tell what emotions were flowing in his eyes at that moment. He could only hear the dissatisfaction in Qi Yuan's words, and said, "Mr. Shi Bai, I didn't mean anything by it. I just wanted to know what kind of appearance could win Mr. Noah's favor?"

"Knowing what kind of man he likes, you're going to send him a new one?" Qi Yuan's voice was still displeased.

Nick explained again, "Mr. Noah must be very beautiful to like. Beautiful men are easy to find, but very beautiful men are not. Besides, everyone's taste in appearance is different. I'm just curious about just how beautiful Mr. Noah's lover is."

Noah was so famous in the North Continent that even people outside of Juecheng wanted to know just how beautiful the person he liked had to be.

After all, Noah had donated a considerable amount of money in Qi Yuan's name, and it was also rumored that Noah had given Qi Yuan a ranch worth 50 million, and had also stood up for Qi Yuan to cause trouble for the Milne family's Lennon.

People who have never met Qi Yuan are all curious about just how handsome he is.

"What's there to be curious about? A lecherous person who only cares about looks might fall for another pretty girl in the future."

Thinking of Noah's opportunistic advances last night, Qi Yuan still felt a little resentful. Noah had taken advantage of him and then run away without leaving a note.

"Mr. Shi Bai, you sound like you know a lot about Mr. Noah? I heard that many people sent handsome boys to the Davis family before, but they were all rejected. Were you one of them?"

The slight anger in Qi Yuan's words was obvious. Nick didn't know what had happened to Qi Yuan in the past, and was just guessing.

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan pursed his lips, thinking: If only he could refuse me, my back wouldn't hurt now.

However, Nick assumed he had hit the nail on the head by his silence and did not press the matter further.

"Mr. Nick, do you have time today?" Asa hadn't forgotten today's plan, so she deliberately changed the subject and steered the conversation toward tonight's plans.

Without a second thought, Nick replied, "No, Mr. Asa, is there anything I can help you with?"

“It’s nothing, I just wanted to explore other parts of Gangdia and asked you to show me the way,” Asa said.

Nick nodded knowingly. "Tomorrow, I'm free tomorrow."

"Mr. Nick, you can't spare any time today?" Asa said. "I just want to wander around casually, it won't take up too much of your time."

Nick thought for a moment, "Actually, I can spare two hours, but tonight is Mr. Noah's banquet, and I need to keep an eye on Grace to fix my dress. After all, all the important people in Gangdia will be there tonight, and I want to make a good impression on them."

"Is Mr. Noah hosting a banquet tonight?" Qi Yuan asked.

"Yes."

"is it safe?"

Nick was speechless when Qi Yuan asked, "Is it safe?"

However, his speechlessness also indicated that Qi Yuan had indeed asked the right question.

“Last night at the tavern, didn’t we find out that Mr. Noah was here to purge the hounds of the Gangdia district? Actually, I had a feeling that tonight’s grand banquet might be a ploy to lure those hounds out. But…”

Nick didn't say anything more.

He was recommended to Noah by Xiu, so the invitation he sent included a note informing him that there would be danger at tonight's banquet.

This was actually a small test for Noah.

Noah wanted to see if he dared to come, and whether he would risk his life for him if danger arose at the banquet.

Therefore, he needs to prepare a lot for tonight's banquet, and try his best to ensure that he can survive tonight's banquet.

"Can you take me there?" Qi Yuan asked.

Nick was taken aback: "Mr. Shi Bai, you're not harboring resentment and wanting revenge because you were rejected by Mr. Noah in Juecheng, are you?"

"Who said he rejected me?" Qi Yuan retorted.

Nick touched his nose. He felt there was anger in Qi Yuan's words, and he looked like a resentful husband who had been abandoned!

“Take us along too,” Asha said. “We are of lowly status in Juecheng and have never met Mr. Noah before. Since we have this opportunity today, let us go and meet him.”

"Mr. Asa, do you really have no hatred towards Mr. Noah?" Nick actually found Asa and his group very strange, inexplicably so.

But ever since Qi Yuan told them that they came to Juecheng to deliver Casio, their itinerary became perfectly reasonable.

But now they're saying they're going to Noah's banquet, even after he's warned them of the dangers involved.

Could they actually be the hounds of the Gangdia district?

But if that's the case, how do you explain Casio? Ao couldn't possibly betray them.

“No, rather we respect him greatly,” Asa said. “I have received help from the Davis family before and have always respected Mr. Noah, the head of the family.”

Nick was still somewhat skeptical.

Just then, Ao's voice came, "What are you all doing standing at the door? There's so much stuff, aren't you going to help move it?"

“Ao.” Nick saw him and became excited, as if he had found a lifeline. “Ao, Mr. Asa and the others said they want to come with me to tonight’s banquet hosted by Mr. Noah. Do you think I can take them?”

“Sure, they’re all good people and won’t hurt Mr. Noah,” Ao said without hesitation. He actually felt that if Qi Yuan and the others really wanted to go, they wouldn’t need Nick to take them. But since Qi Yuan wanted Nick to take them, then Nick should take them.

"Really?" Nick asked again.

Ao nodded: "If you're worried, I'll go with you tonight and keep an eye on them for you."

Nick hesitated for a moment, but then he thought that he had known Ao for so many years and knew him well, so he trusted Ao.

"Do you have formal wear?" Nick asked.

Asa said, "We'll go buy it in a bit."

"Let's go to Grace's tailor shop. She has a lot of dresses. With so many people going, it will take her quite a while to alter the dresses. Let's go to her now, so we don't end up without a dress for the banquet."

Nick didn't ask any more questions and led them to Grace.

Grace was delighted to have business coming her way and led them to her tailor shop.

Her tailor shop is small and only accepts private custom orders, so she rarely opens the shop. Many of the dresses in the shop are made by her in her spare time.

Because Grace's focus is on the organization "Dawn," her tailor shop operates on a "go with the flow" approach. She lets everyone choose their favorite dresses and then makes slight alterations based on their measurements.

Looking at the numerous formal dresses, and then at Qi Yuan, Asha had a bold idea. He walked up to Qi Yuan and whispered, "Would you... like to wear a women's dress to tonight's banquet?"
