Chapter 626 -626: The Blind Date Fiasco of Violet Allen
Lance Carew is from the Capital Metropolitan.
Although it’s quite far from North City, because there are members of the Carew Family who study Mystical Techniques, Lance Carew does have some understanding of the Mystical Sect.
The Carew Family in the Capital Metropolitan is well-known, and although Lance Carew belongs to a branch, he is young and capable, having just graduated and founded his own company this year.
Though the Allen Family is not as prestigious as the Carew Family, they are considered wealthy in North City.
Mr. and Mrs. Allen have only one daughter, Violet, and originally intended for her to inherit the family business.
Unexpectedly, she was chosen to become a Life Impermanence, and later she was recruited into the Taoism Academy, causing the couple to have the idea of finding a capable son-in-law to inherit the business.
But more than that, they hoped their daughter could have a normal marriage and children.
Over there, Violet Allen seemed to have no choice but to brace herself and approach Lance Carew.
She’s not yet twenty, and strictly speaking, getting married is really too early.
She couldn’t understand why her parents were worried she wouldn’t be able to get married.
“Lance Carew, Brother Lance, right? Thanks for coming all this way. My parents might be in a bit of a rush, but actually, today is just an internal gathering of our academy. It’s not very convenient to discuss other matters; maybe we can arrange another time after the banquet tonight?”
After all, since her parents had put in a special request, Violet didn’t want to be too rude.
She thought to schedule a time to talk later, but Lance Carew seemed to not catch her meaning,
“I know what kind of gathering this is. I also know it was organized by the Jennings Family from Sea City. I suppose they wouldn’t mind an extra guest.”
Violet Allen: ???
“You’re not here for a matchmaking?”
Lance glanced at her, with a look that wasn’t clear whether it was satisfied or dissatisfied, and simply said,
“It’s just an occasion for initial contact between both sides. You don’t have to be too nervous. I know you’re young and haven’t graduated from university yet. What I mean is, we can start by getting to know each other first.”
“No, it’s just…”
Violet Allen, usually quite eloquent, found herself unexpectedly stuttering by his words,
“I never said us two…”
However, before she could finish, Lance Carew interrupted her, changing the subject,
“I saw you came down from upstairs just now, so there’s where you Mystical Sect people have your social area, right?
Actually, I’m quite interested in Mysticism too. Maybe you could take me up to meet your teachers and friends.”
Lance spoke his mind without waiting for Violet’s approval, grabbing a glass of wine ready to go upstairs with her.
Violet, not the sharpest tool in the shed but not oblivious either, could tell something was off about this person.
“No way! There’s nothing between us two, why do you want to meet my teachers and friends?!”
This guy must be crazy.
Working for the Underworld for two years, Violet had developed a knack for reading people. She stared at Lance Carew and suddenly asked,
“You’re not here for someone upstairs, are you?”
Generally, those coming for Mystical Sect members have only one purpose.
They encountered some problem and want a capable Master to help solve it.
Yet Violet couldn’t see any sinister aura entangling him, which ruled out seeking a Master.
