Birthday Party - Part 2

For celebrating the birthday of their youngest daughter, the Carter family has chosen an outdoor concept as the theme of the party. And the garden of their mansion was deemed as the perfect location to hold it.

Currently, the vast garden already decorated to the fullness as various types of flowers were scattered everywhere, luxurious candles illuminated the whole garden beautifully, several large buffets filled with different kinds of delicacies and drinks were neatly placed in one corner while some waitress stood in a row nearby, waiting to serve the guests.

Meanwhile, the guests have spread themselves throughout the garden, mingling, chatting, and interacting with each other. And they all wore each of their own attractive attires.

Due to these combinations, the whole garden was shrouded by a festive atmosphere.

In one corner of the garden, stood a golden-haired boy with an extremely handsome and youthful face. He was tall, taller than the average youth of his age. His appearance drew many adoring gazes from the nearby young girls. Not only them, but some adult women also couldn't stop themselves from stealing glances at him.

Unfortunately, the boy ignored their stares, and merely stood still with his back straight and a proud expression plastering his face.

This golden-haired boy's name was Peter Oxford, the only son of Oxford Clan Leader. Oxford Clan was one of the five noble clans of the Kingdom of Merlin. A clan that possessed exalted status, great influences, rich wealth, and powerful strength.

Within the kingdom's border, no one dares to mess with them as Oxford was the most aggressive and the strongest clan amongst the five noble clans.

As the only son of the clan's leader, Peter was literally a prince without a title. His social standing was at the top, he didn't lack anything and could get everything that can be purchase with money due to the clan's wealth, and because his father was one of the only three Titanium-class rankers in the entire Kingdom of Merlin, no one wants to have problems with Peter.

As such, even though his talent in cultivation was abysmal, he was still practically invincible and untouchable.

However, because of being spoiled since a child, Peter became very arrogant and narrow-minded when he grew up. Inside his mind, he believes that the world revolved around him and he could do anything he wants in an unbridled way.

Moreover, he can be very ruthless and cruel.

There were so many stories about him, using his background to abuse people or to the extent, playing with women.

Although most women Peter had played with does so willingly, there were actually few who were forced by him. Unfortunately, those poor women couldn't get the justice they deserved because Peter's background was simply too powerful. No one was willing to help them for fear offending the Oxford.

And now, Peter has set his sight upon a new target.

It's a girl who had caught his attention since the first time he saw her.

Normally, he won't attend to this sort of party. Even though the Carter has a bit reputation in Seastar thanks to Alex Carter's strength as a Platinum-class ranker, Peter still deemed them beneath him and looked down on them. After all, he was of noble blood.

If not for the object of his affection, Sophia Carter, being really troublesome to capture, he would not even come to this lowly party.

Ever since Peter was smitten by Sophia and had the intention to make her as his girlfriend during high school, he had done a lot to impress her such as sending flowers, giving tons of expensive gifts to her, inviting her to a date in a high-class restaurant, and offering her to go vacationing with him in famous resorts.

But regardless of what he did, Sophia won't budge for a bit, always rejecting him, and ignoring him completely.

Eventually, after countless failed efforts, Peter was running out of patience.

He wanted to possess the girl who already a Gold-class ranker at a young age. The more Sophia rejects him, the higher his desire to have her.

Sophia was the most talented student back in their high school. It was one of the reasons why Peter was so fixated on her.

No matter what it takes, he must have her at all costs!

Even if he had to resolve using a hard method, he won't allow Sophia to escape from his grasp.

While the Carter family has Alex as their protector, aside from that, they didn't have much background and connections. A single Platinum-class ranker was simply an ant in the face of the absolute strength of the Oxford Clan.

Thus, Peter's sure that with a little bit of intimidation, Sophia and her family will submit to him soon.

A cruel smile appeared on Peter's mouth as he thought of that.

"Your smile is really brilliant, Young Master Peter. Is there something that makes you happy?" Someone's voice drifted to Peter's ear.

He looked to the source and saw a graceful blonde-haired girl in extravagant white dress walking closer towards him while being accompanied by several entourages.

"Greetings, Princess Lyanna. It's nothing, I just like to smile. After all, smiling is good for one's health." Peter assumed his gentlemanly manners and greeted the blonde-haired girl respectfully.

She was Lyanna Windsor, a member of Merlin's royal family. The King's most favorite princess.

A proud daughter of heaven who possessed a wide range of talents, and also, a disciple to one of Gaia's five Diamond-class rankers.

This girl wasn't someone that Peter could afford to offend.

The royal family's authority was absolute in this kingdom, even the Oxford Clan was powerless before their might.

His father had strictly warned him not to get on the bad side of the members of the royal family. Especially, Lyanna; she has the protection of a Diamond-class powerhouse. Therefore, Peter had to swallow his pride and act humbly in front of her.

Hearing Peter's answer, Lyanna squinted her eyes in suspicion, "Really?"

Then, she took a glance toward the direction that Peter has been looking at before.

Lyanna smirked knowingly and an idea appeared in her mind after she saw Sophia Carter was standing at the end of that direction, chatting merrily with her friends.

"I see… So the infamous playboy of the capital has a new target, huh?" Lyanna said with disdain written all over her face.

Peter's forehead started to sweat, "I don't know what are you talking about, Your Highness. I'm just enjoying my time here."

'What the hell is this princess wants from me?!' He also cursed her inside his mind.

"It's useless to deny it, Peter. I knew why you're here… Let me tell you my opinion; I don't think you suit her really." Lyanna said in a leisure tone.

Anger swelled up inside Peter's heart, but he can do nothing other than keeping his expression in check.

But still, he was dissatisfied with Lyanna's word. Why did she say he was unsuitable for Sophia?

Was it because her cultivation was higher than him? Or maybe because she has a better talent?

'Ridiculous!' Peter shouted inwardly.

He believes that those things were nothing in front of his background.

He was the heir to an exalted noble clan. How could he be unsuitable for Sophia?

To Peter, it was Sophia who actually didn't deserve him. She should be grateful that a nobleman such as him had noticed and took a liking of her.

Since he couldn't show his anger to the Princess, Peter directed it to Sophia instead, who was the Innocent one.

He swore that once he obtained her, he will "punish" that prideful girl for repeatedly rejecting him.

Furious glint flashes briefly across his eyes, which was immediately noticed by Lyanna's discerning eyes.

Lyanna smirked shrewdly.

In truth, she deliberately provoked Peter because she rather dislikes Sophia, who had caught everyone's attention.

In the past few days, she always heard people talking about Sophia, endlessly praising her for being a remarkable teenager. And it makes Lyanna felt uncomfortable and fuming.

Before Sophia appear, Lyanna was the most amazing talent in the Kingdom of Merlin. She was the one who always received everyone's praise and respect. Especially after she was accepted as a disciple by the Sky Tearing Witch, one of Gaia's five Diamond-class experts.

But now, Sophia had stolen the show, and Lyanna hates it.

Deep down, Lyanna knew that she was jealous and envious of Sophia's talent that was higher than her.

She was older than her by two years, but Lyanna's cultivation still at intermediate stage Silver-class while Sophia already at Gold-class.

How can that happen?

Sophia's background and social standing were lower than her. In addition, Lyanna was under the tutelage of a Diamond-class powerhouse while Sophia didn't.

She had checked Sophia's history multiple times before. There was no record of Sophia receiving guidance from any high-level rankers, and the only education she's got was from an ordinary high school. This fact really baffled Lyanna.

"Don't be so disheartened like that. That's just my opinion." Lyanna said while smiling brightly.

Being comforted like that did not make Peter calm. On the contrary, his anger rose even higher.

"Thank you, Your Highness. Your opinion is highly welcomed." Peter displayed his gratitude with a twisted smile.

"No problem."

Judging from Peter's personality that she's familiar with, Lyanna's sure that her provocation was a success. In a second, he would bother Sophia and perhaps to the point of making a ruckus.

'It will be perfect if that happens.' Lyanna thought as her smile turned playful.

"Holy! Who the hell is that?"

"Damn!"

"Mamamia! What a woman!"

A commotion suddenly broke among the guests, confusing both Lyanna and Peter.

But it didn't take a long time for them to find the cause.

The culprit was a woman who has a tall height, incredibly beautiful face, and voluptuous figure.

She's wearing a pretty purple-colored dress that tightly wrapped her bombastic body while her light-purple hair covered her bare shoulders.

The woman walked elegantly towards where Sophia Carter standing at.

As she walks, the crowds immediately part and let her through as if they were afraid of blocking her way.

Even though everyone's sight was gathering at her, the woman shows no sign of nervousness. In fact her expression was brimmed with extreme confidence. Many women among the crowds couldn't stop themselves from feeling inferior before the woman's aura.

She's not alone however.

Walking behind the woman was a dark-haired man dressed in black attires who looked like a bodyguard. A cold expression hanging on his face makes anyone who stares at him shudders.

Lyanna looked at the pair suspiciously, she didn't know who they were.

One of her entourage, a middle-aged woman, strode closer to her and spoke in low volume, "Your Highness, I cannot detect both of their cultivations. But I feel threatened by them, especially the man."

Lyanna's eyes widened as she stares at her entourage in disbelieving.

This particular entourage was actually a subordinate of her teacher. And she was a peak stage Platinum-class ranker.

Lyanna's teacher, the Sky Tearing Witch, really dotted on her, even to the extent of assigning a Platinum-class subordinate to protect her.

Platinum-class represents a high-level powerhouse in Gaia. Rankers at this class were considered top-notch elites. Within Heavenly Tower's 1st layer, they could already own small territory.

Thus, the inability of Lyanna's peak stage Platinum-class protector to detect the cultivation of the newly-arrived pair means that both of them were stronger than the protector.

This realization greatly shocked Lyanna.

She became even more suspicious of the pair's identity.

Meanwhile, Peter was looking at the purple-haired woman with intense gazes.

He had never seen such a top-quality woman before.

'F*ck! That butt, those tits… Shit! I'm getting a hard-on!' Peter thought as his vision was directed at the woman's swaying butt and bouncing breasts.

It's not only him who has that kind of vulgar thoughts when looking at the purple-haired woman. Most of the male guests were also thinking the same.

The purple-haired woman's appearance was just too enchanting. Particularly, her bombshell figure that can instantly ignite the lustful desire of every straight man.

As she approached closer to Sophia.

"Sister!!!" Sophia yelled and quickly dived into the woman's embrace.

Witnessing the scene, the crowds turned quite.

And they all asked the same question inside each of their minds, 'Sister???'
