    Chapter 40 Banquet


    During the next two days, Osborne diligently worked on improving his skills.

    Isa’s single kick that incapacitated Milo left him greatly shaken.


    However, Osborne believed that with The Breath of Celestial, he wouldn’t need much time to reach


    Isa.


    Simultaneously, Osborne didn’t neglect to practice his marksmanship.


    With Satan’s Eye, his shooting uracy was good, but hecked in other crucial areas like speed,


    target anticipation, and shooting while on the move.


    These were vital in intense gunfights.


    Osborne understood that marksmanship was honed through bullet expenditure.


    When he purchased the Draco Model H mini–handgun, he also bought hundreds of magazines and


    tens of thousands of bullets solely for marksmanship practice.


    During the day, he diligently practiced marksmanship,bining it with agility and keen eyesight to


    simte realbat scenarios.

    At night, he focused on perfecting The Breath of Celestial.

    As his physical abilities grew stronger and with the aid of Satan’s Eye, his marksmanship rapidly


    improved.


    With the consumption of arge number of bullets, his marksmanship became increasingly


    terrifying.


    Finally, the day arrived for Osborne to attend the banquet at the Radcliffe Manor.


    He called Ophelia, requesting her to drive and pick him up.


    As per


    er their agreement, he could bring two people to the banquet, and he had already sold these two


    spots to Ophelia and Wesley for 40 million dors.


    Despite his dislike for them, he had no intention of reneging after epting the money.


    Keeping promises was his basic principle.


    Soon, Ophelia and Wesley arrived in a grand fashion with a


    convoy.


    Ophelia rolled down the car window, coldly stating, “Get in!”


    Osborne smirked slightly, uninterested in sitting with the two of them. He casually boarded a


    bodyguard’s car and headed. towards the Radcliffe Manor.


    The convoy left the city and arrived at a picturesque location on


    Chapter 40 Banquet


    the outskirts.

    A tall wall enclosed an entire hill, within whichy the Radcliffe


    Manor.


    Osborne gaped at the huge luxurious estate, which dwarfed even the Caldwell family’s manor.


    Wesley and Ophelia were equally awestruck.


    After disembarking at the gate and undergoing identity confirmation, checks, and body searches to


    ensure they carried no weapons, the three were allowed into the estate.


    They boarded a shuttle heading towards the mountaintop.


    “I must be friends with Ms. Radcliffe. If I can establish a rtionship with her, the Caldwell


    family will soar and be the top aristocratic family in Mayby City.”


    Suddenly, on the shuttle, Ophelia turned sternly towards Osborne. “Osborne, I hope you don’t


    cause trouble!”


    Wesley added, “I hope you don’t mess things up.”


    Osborne nced at them, coldlyughing, paying no heed to theirments.


    Frowning, Ophelia noticed Osborne’s casual sportswear and remarked, “Osborne, you’re going to


    have lunch with Ms. Radcliffe dressed like this? Can’t you at least dress formally?”

    Wesley sneered, saying, “Amoner is always amoner, ignorant of etiquette! Such an


    important event, yet dressed so casually. Be careful not to anger Ms. Radcliffe and get thrown


    out.”

    Unable to hold back any longer, Osborne retorted, “Mind your own business! You came here like


    dogs begging for scraps, yet have the audacity to be arrogant in front of me?”


    “You son of a…” Wesley snapped, but the shuttle driver interrupted, silencing them.


    “We’re here!”


    They had arrived at the mountaintop, where an elegant pavilion


    awaited.


    A waitress–like woman approached the three of them, smiling, “Three guests, please follow me,


    Ms. Radcliffe is already waiting for you.”


    Soon, she led them to the elegant pavilion.


    Osborne once againid eyes on rissa.


    Standing in the pavilion, rissa gazed towards Mayby City in the distance. Her profile was cool yet


    soft, her figure perfect and charming.


    Several ck–d bodyguards loyally stood guard by her side.


    For some reason, seeing rissa again made Osborne’s heart

    race.

    “Ms. Radcliffe, the guests have arrived.”


    rissa finally turned around, offering a slight smile towards Osborne and hispanions.


    “You’ve arrived.”


    This was the first time Osborne heard rissa’s voice, which sounded as melodious as a


    nightingale. It was not indifferent but with a sense of distance, gentle yet tinged with pride.


    “Please, have a seat.”


    rissa gestured for the three of them to sit down. Without much thought, Osborne casually pulled


    out a chair and took a


    seat.


    Ophelia and Wesley, however, seemed incredibly nervous at this moment, slightly bowing towards


    rissa with a demeanor as if they wouldn’t dare sit until rissa did.


    Wesley even hurried over to pull out a chair for rissa, but unfortunately, her bodyguards


    intercepted him, not allowing him to get close to her.


    Wesley felt somewhat embarrassed at this turn of events.


    Fortunately, rissa said, “You are all my guests, I want to thank you for your generosity at the


    charity auction. Please, make yourselvesfortable.”

    With a smile, rissa took her seat.


    She sat right next to Osborne.


    Wesley’s face visibly darkened at this sight.
