Chapter 21: Wine Tasting Competition

It was already lunchtime after we changed.

Nellie told us, "I actually have a game scheduled for today, but it's a little difficult, so it's not too late to abstain."

At the table, a man named Zachary said, "Miss Chelton has been kind enough to invite us to dinner and play. We are willing to accept. No one here is abstaining, right?"

With that, he turned the tables on Elias, "Right, Mr. Silva?"

Another man said, "Mr. Jones, it doesn't have to be. Mr. Silva is not one of us after all, so he may not know many things for now. Don't make things difficult for him."

He seemed to be offering Elias help, but in fact it was an obvious mockery.

I was about to get up and defend Elias when a big warm hand held me down.

I looked down and saw Elias shaking his head at me.

I took a deep breath and put on a smile, "Mr. Jones, Mr. Lincoln, I know you've seen all the world, but..." I said lightly, "We still have to keep a low profile, after all, there are always people who are better than us."
