Chapter:-76 yourselves a new wardrobe
Tell him I can arrange a time to meet him. Daria smiled and nodded vigorously. Then she
suddenly asked seriously, Keith, you're amazing.
Do you really not have a girlfriend? Keith looked at her suspiciously and said, Why are
you asking? Are you interested? I have so many people trying to date me, Daria said with
a blush. But if you wanted to date me, I guess I could consider it. Keith smiled and said,
Okay, then I guess I'll consider it too.
The helicopter landed on the roof of White Plains Garden. As a high end community,
there were designated helipads on the roof and an elevator to the apartments. Daria
turned and looked at Keith with a red face.
She suddenly leaned forward and gently kissed him on the cheek. She mumbled, Thank
you for today. Then she jumped out of the helicopter and ran over to the elevator.
Keith laughed in disbelief. As he gently touched his cheek, he cleared his mind and
started to distribute his new attribute points. Without hesitation, he added two to power
and one to stamina.
This way, his power and dexterity had both reached 20 points, while his stamina and
spirit energy were at 16 each. He estimated that his strength was about the same as
that of a professional weightlifter, but he was still a bit weaker than the world's top
muscle men. The host's attribute has reached 20 points.
The system is currently selecting a random reward. Congratulations, you have obtained
a new skill, mega strength description. After activation, power will instantly increase by
100%.
Lasts for 10 seconds. Cooldown time is 24 hours. Keith smiled.
With 10 seconds of double power, he could take down anyone in just a few punches. He
nodded in satisfaction and opened the briefcase that Julian had given him. In addition to
the helicopter documents, there was also a business card.
Since Julian desperately wanted to get close to him, it might be beneficial for Keith to
have him on his side. By now, the sky had completely darkened. It wasn't safe to fly the
helicopter at night, and besides, it was too flashy.
There was still a little time before dinner. He took the elevator downstairs and walked
slowly toward his apartment. The scenery at Westville was beautiful, surrounded by
greenery and lakes.
As the most luxurious gated community in Summerfield, there was a total of just eight
mansions. Those who could afford to live here were the real upper echelons of society.
The Strausses were a big deal, not only in Summerfield, but across the entire state, and they owned the two largest mansions in Westville.
The first mansion was occupied by old Mr. Strauss, and the second belonged to Olivia
and her mother. Olivia's house was elegant and refined, matching her temperament.
There were already many people in the huge living room, almost the entire Strauss
family, plus some of their closest friends were there.
They had said that they would treat Keith to a family dinner, but this was actually a
family banquet. Everyone at the dinner was dressed in expensive clothes. They held
champagne flutes and chatted with the people around them.
The atmosphere felt harmonious, but there were two people who seemed out of place.
Sam and Angie Sanderburg had been chauffeured over on Mr. Strauss' orders. As Keith's
parents, they were naturally invited to the family banquet, but they were ordinary
people, and they had never seen such a scene before.
While Mr. Strauss was chatting with them, they felt pretty comfortable, but when the old
man suddenly had to leave to attend to something, they immediately became nervous
and wary. They were so nervous that they hardly dared to move. Although everyone else
there knew that they were Keith's parents, no one bothered to go and talk to them.
From the looks of the other guests, it was obvious that they looked down on the
Sanderburgs. Angie gently tugged on Sam's sleeve and said, But why isn't Keith here
yet? Why don't we just go home? Sam rolled his eyes at her and said, Keith is the guest
of honor tonight. Of course, he'd be the last one to appear.
Let's just stay a while longer so we don't embarrass him. Okay. Angie sighed and
nodded.
She didn't say anything else. A small group of people nearby seemed to have heard their
conversation and laughed. One of them, wearing a red Chanel dress, walked over and
said, You're Keith's parents, right? Did no one give you the dress code for tonight?
Another lady smiled.
Clarice, don't be rude. I'm sure they couldn't afford anything better. You're making
things awkward for them.
When she said this, the group of high society folk laughed, drawing the attention of the
others nearby. Keith's parents blushed, but they didn't dare to refute them in this kind of
situation. Clarice feigned a look of shock and covered her mouth.
Oh, I forgot. How about I give each of you $10,000 to buy some decent clothes before
you come back? The group burst into laughter again. The contempt in their eyes was
almost overflowing.
One of the men laughed and said, Your son is the guest of honor, is he? What right does
he have to be the guest of honor here? Someone else chimed in. I heard that Keith is
only good for fighting. He has neither money nor education.
I really don't know what the old man is thinking, inviting him to dinner. That's right.
Clarice's friend piped up.
Everyone knows that Clarice's son Ashton is the main attraction. No matter where he
goes, you two are shameless. Another man stepped forward.
Exactly. Even Livia thinks highly of Ashton, but your son seriously thinks he can strut in
here and impress her? He needs to go take a long, hard look in the mirror. Clarice swirled
the glass in her hand and smiled contemptuously.
You hear that? This isn't a place for people like you. She turned to her friends. Who has
cash on them? Give these two a few thousand dollars and let them go.
I'll tell the old man. One of the men from Clarice's group tossed a bank card to the
ground and said, There are fifty thousand dollars on that card. Consider it a gift to buy
yourselves a new wardrobe.
