Chapter 54
Several subbeasts stood together and talked quietly.
These subbeasts were also dressed up, but their looks were not top-notch and their family background is also average. These people did not have any expectations regarding catching Raymond’s attention.
Rather, their targets were the male beastmen who had the qualifications to be invited to the Marshal’s banquet. By coming to the banquet, they hope to find a good beastman with a strong family.
Within the group, a subbeast whispered, “Miss Heller is so beautiful. If I were a beastman, I would definitely like her.”
“But Marshal Raymond likes subbeasts. Even if Miss Heller is very beautiful, it must not look like much for beastmen who like subbeasts, right?”
“I really don’t know who other than Marshal Raymond could worthy of Miss Heller.”
Several people were talking quietly, when suddenly a voice chimed in.
“You should just shut up. Are Marshal Raymond and Miss Heller people who can be discussed casually?”
It was the subbeast who wore a python tail that Jin WoWo and Raymond met in the virtual world.
Hearing his words, those few subbeasts didn’t dare to speak anymore.
A beastman hurried over, grabbed the subbeast, and said, “Brother, come with me. I have something important to tell you.”
The subbeast was pulled to the corner by his big beastman brother. The big brother lowered his voice and shared, “I just heard the third prince say that Raymond has a different aesthetic from others. He doesn’t like long and beautiful subbeasts. He likes dark-skinned subbeasts. Specifically, subbeasts with small eyes and freckles on his face.”
Hearing this, the little brother subbeast’s eyes widened in astonishment. “How is that possible?!”
The big beastman brother solemnly answered, “I also think it is impossible, but it came from the third prince himself. The third prince and Marshal Raymond have such a good relationship. What he said should be reliable. Otherwise, what else would explain how Raymond has been an adult for 20 years and has been so courteous. With the number of females and subbeasts approaching him, why hasn’t he taken a fancy to any of them or even given them a second glance?”
After all, some beastmen have special tastes. He, himself, has also seen some of the peculiar tastes of certain beastmen.
The little brother subbeast stared at his big beastman brother, still in disbelief.
But the big beastman brother already mostly believed in the news, apart from some doubts.
“Brother, I’ve analyzed it and I think what the third prince’s words should be at least 80% true. We have to adjust for Raymond and strive to catch his eye at today’s banquet.” After which, he explained the process of his inference to his brother step by step.
The more the little brother subbeast listened, the more logical his brother’s reasoning felt.
So, with his elder brother’s strong persuasion, he hurried to the bathroom to adjust his make-up.
Then, the banquet officially began.
Jin WoWo is going to make a grand debut today, so he hasn’t gone down for the time being and stayed in the lounge on the second floor.
A large screen has been placed in the lounge, allowing him to observe all the movements of the banquet hall.
The males in the banquet hall need not be mentioned but the subbeasts were all dressed up beautifully, and in varying ways, almost like a celebrity party. Jin WoWo got dizzy just by watching.
Suddenly, he saw a familiar figure.
Specifically, it should be a familiar outfit.
This outfit happened to be the one he and Raymond saw when they went to the virtual world to shop and met a subbeast shopping for the banquet.
Because the subbeast tried on the outfit for a long time that day, Jin WoWo was left with a deep impression.
But if he remembered correctly, the subbeast who tried the outfit out was very good looking. How come he’s like this today…
Jin WoWo took a closer look at the face being shown on the screen, and felt that it was strangely a bit familiar.
Those small eyes, the dark skin, the short eyebrows, and the freckles on the cheeks…Combined, they looked 60-70% similar to that of his virtual character on the online store.
When Ren brought Doris and Raymond into the banquet hall, the crowd made a path like that of Moses parting the red sea.
When passing by, the subbeasts all showed their most beautiful and decent smiles.
However, Raymond’s eyes did not stop on anyone’s face.
The subbeasts who had heard the third prince’s words before had run to adjust his make-up came out when the banquet had already begun. And, Raymond was almost on the podium.
Missing the best time to show himself, the subbeast was so upset that he ran over in a hurry, and accidentally tripped on the carpet under his feet, almost falling over and making a lot of noise.
Everyone’s eyes turned to looked at him.
When the commotion was over, the little brother subbeast felt embarrassed. He had never been so embarrassed in his entire life.
Just as he was feeling shameful, he found Raymond looking at him.
Raymond looked up and down his figure, and in his eyes was an indescribable emotion.
He had never seen such a look in Raymond’s eyes.
The gaze fixed on him, caused his heart to throb.
This is probably love at first sight??!
The little brother subbeast was so happy that he felt like he had gone stupid because Marshal Raymond actually raised his foot and walked towards him!!
Seeing this, one could almost see the smoke coming out of other subbeasts in beautiful costumes. Who knew that this method would attract Marshal Raymond’s attention?
They secretly regretted not listening to the words of the third prince to use such make-up look to turn themselves into someone with dark skin, small eyes, and freckles.
Raymond walked up to the little brother subbeast, took a closer look, and found that it was indeed make-up. Raymond frowned, and asked, “How did you become like this?”
This was the face he edited on Jin WoWo’s virtual character in the online shop. He didn’t expect to see a pirated version at the banquet today.
Even though the face he edited was ugly, it still looked very cute when placed on Jin WoWo’s body. But now that it has been pirated, he felt a little unhappy.
This was the first time the little brother subbeast has seen Raymond talk to a subbeast and he almost fainted in excitement.
“It looks very this way. Do you like it?” The little brother subbeast stammered.
Raymond frowned even deeper. “How did you think of turning yourself into this?”
The subbeast took two deep breaths so as not to make his excited voice tremble, “This is my own make-up style.”
“If I remember correctly, I have seen your outfit before.” Raymond said.
The subbeast was confused but had a faint premonition.
“The other day, you and your eldest brother tried on outfits at the XX brand store in the online mall.” Raymond continued.
The subbeast’s eyes turned sharp.
At that time, there were only four customers in the store. In addition to him and his eldest brother, there were also two high level consumers wearing the costumes of little white consumers.
Earlier, when he heard the third prince describe the type of subbeast that Marshal Raymond liked, he couldn’t imagine how such an ugly appearance grew.
Suddenly, he remembered the subbeast that he met in the online shop a few days ago.
So in a hurry, he fixed his make-up according to the face in his memory.
But now that Marshal Raymond has said such things, realization and information flooded into the his mind.
The high level consumer he and his eldest brother met was Marshal Raymond himself?
The subbeast turned stiff and pale.
He thought that almost falling just now was the most embarrassing thing in his life, but he didn’t expect that he had already set himself up for a more embarrassing thing.
Thinking of the words he and his elder brother said in front of Marshal Raymond at that time, he felt so ashamed that he wanted to commit suicide on the spot.
Raymond frowned and said, “I hope you won’t wear this type of make-up again in the future.”
After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the podium.
The surrounding people didn’t understand the conversation that had just happened, they only thought that the make-up of the little brother subbeast looked ugly to Raymond.
Ah, as for the third prince, how could his words be reliable? Fortunately, they didn’t listen to the words of the third prince and turned into that embarrassing ghost.
Ren delivered a speech on the podium. Everyone knew that he got a surgery to treat the symptoms of his energy explosion so no one was surprised that he could stand.
They didn’t know if it was because his son was still alive and was promoted to the ninth rank. But Ren looked a lot younger than before, even Doris looked radiant and her complexion was also very good.
After Ren’s speech, Raymond took over the stage and explained the reason behind the explosion video posted by the military’s official platform and showed everyone some of his ninth-tier capabilities.
In the audience, Heller stood with a charming middle-aged female.
“Heller, do you still want to marry him?” The middle-aged female asked.
Heller smiled slightly and retorted, “Can I?”
The middle-aged female looked at her and said, “Your beauty is beyond gender, you should have more confidence in yourself.”
Heller raised her head, looked at Raymond on the podium intently, and said softly, “Then what about you, Aunt?”
Heller’s aunt was taken aback for a moment and cast her gaze towards Ren, who stood under the podium, hand in hand with Doris.
Heller’s aunt answered, “Marshal Hobby is very good. That was my choice.”
Jin WoWo stood under the podium after being guided by the housekeeper.
When Raymond’s eyes landed on him, his eyes softened instantly.
Raymond stepped off the stage and took Jin WoWo’s hand.
When the audience saw Raymond’s movements, they were all dumbfounded.
Although they couldn’t see the face of this subbeast, the outfit that the other party wore today, regardless of color or style, matched Raymond’s dress very well, looking like a couple outfit.
Everyone became confused about the situation and watched as Raymond held the hand of the subbeast, bringing him up the podium.
After Jin WoWo arrived on stage, he turned around. Gasps could be heard coming from the audience.
Raymond solemnly introduced, “This is my partner, Jin WoWo.”
Jin WoWo smiled at everyone.
However, it was not applause that greeted him, but deathly silence.
Marshal Raymond already has a partner?!
Marshal Raymond had already chosen a partner!?
Who is this Jin WoWo? How come they have never heard of this person before?
It stood to reason that such a beautiful subbeast cannot not have a name in the Central Star!
The male beastmen stared right at Jin WoWo.
Even the males who had no interest in subbeasts had awe-struck expressions.
The rest of the subbeasts had broken hearts at the sight!
Turns out, Marshal Raymond had already appointed a partner. Furthermore, this partner was so handsome. They felt like they were made into fools.
However, no one looked more like a joke than the little brother subbeast who transformed himself to look like Jin WoWo’s virtual character.
Oh, how the little brother subbeast wished he could just fly away right now.
Heller looked at the two people on the stage intently.
A beastman next to her murmured, “I want that subbeast.”
Heller glanced at him lightly, “He is Raymond’s partner.”
“They haven’t held the companionship ceremony yet.”
Heller’s aunt frowned, “Eugene, stop doing things that make your father angry.”
Eugene sneered, “Mother, in the eyes of my father, no matter how good I behave, I would never be able to compare to his crippled son.”
He turned to Heller and said, “Don’t you want Raymond?”
