"Announcing the Arrival of Baron Eros Ironclade Tate, accompanied by Baron Angela Frostbite, and his son and..."
"His two wives!" Shade whispered into the ear of the Master of events.
"And his Two wives!!!"
The sudden announcement took every one by surprise.
Firstly, a lot of rumors have been surrounding Eros Tate.
At first, there was the rumour that he had died on his newly wedded wife.
Secondly, there was the rumour that he had faked his own death because of his debts.
There was also the issue he had with the other barons he had borrowed money from.
However, when everyone looked in his direction, their eye were all glued to him and those that accompanied him.
Firstly, it was popular knowledge that Eros did not cultivate.
He was already well in his eighties. This meant that he was already practically an old man.
However, what appeared before their eyes did not tally at all with their imaginations.
Eros did not look like an old man.
in fact, many would have thought that this was an imposter if they had not seen him in his younger years.
After all, he looked like he had taken several steps back in time on his appearance.
Aside from his trip to the Black Islands, this was the first time that Eros was showing his face in public.
His appearance was a marvel to all that laid eyes on him.
For some reason, men wanted to speak with hi, and the women wanted to hold hands with him.
Unfortunately, he had three extremely beautiful women about him.
Of Course lady frostbite's beauty was already known to all. But standing beside Eros gave her a different kind of glow.
Lady frostbite was on one of his hands and Amanda and Shade with their elbows entangled together were at the other.
Amanda had Deep red fiery hair, just like her Snake tail had been.
It matched with her red eyebrows that made a striking contrast with her very pale skin. So smooth that some old perverts in attendance subconsciously, rubbed their fingers together in the fantasy of what she would feel like under their thumb.
She did not smile, and her eyes darted the ball room with incredible astuteness.
It was like she was searching for prey to devour.
It was an outstanding charm that made some of the men willing to be pressed under her thumb.
She wore a Long, fiery, red dress that complimented her cold look and accentuated her curves that exuded the confidence of a queen as she made her way with the people by her side. Her dress was sleeveless and pushed up her boobs and left little to the imagination as to what was underneath the dress.
Shade on the other hand did not have hair as fiery as Amanda's. Hers had a more cooling light to it. The type that made you want to touch it just to watch how the reds flow in between your fingers.
She wore a Mermaid style emerald dress that complimented her light not so pale skin tone. Her makeup was dark and highlighted her silted eyes and made them look seductive in their own light.
However, her dressing was not any less as decent as that of Amanda's. In fact the dress had a deep v-cut in front displaying her deep cleavage like the crest in between two mountains and her mounds were not a bad sight either. For those with good eye sights, if they were to look properly, they would even notice her pointy nipples staring at the audience like the tip of a dagger that caught the ray of sunlight about to deliver death to its victims.
One man in a corner with his woman subconsciously let loose his grip around his glass and it fell straight to the ground.
It was the loud sound of the Malware kissing the ground that brought everyone watching out of the fantasy of the illusion in their minds.
Eros on the other hand had noticed their stares.
This was the kind of reaction that was expected. After all, he was once a god.
However, even though he was no longer one, he still carried with him the pride and presence of one.
Dan was not left out.
he too was impressively dressed.
However, before Eros and the women by his side, he looked more a mere speck of star dust that glittered slightly about the full moon.
Seeing all the attention they were getting he couldnt help the frown that marred his expression.
Just then, he sighted a familiar face in the crowd.
It was one that he had been searching for, for a while now.
It was Penny. She stood beside the Bolos family.
Immediately he saw her, his eyes brightened up.
"SISTER!!!" Dan immediately ran off to her.
Eros also got sights of her.
Dan ran off without a care in the world.
"Dan!" Penny was so excited to see him.
However, just when brother and sister were about to be reunited in a hug, a bold figure stepped before both of them.
It was none other than Baron Bolos's first child and heir to his Estate.
It was Justin Bolos Baraka.
However, Dan was as stubborn as he had always been.
Immediately, he struggled. Pushing and trying to claw his way through the big fellow along his path.
Unfortunately, all his effort was to Null.
There was just no way his little strength could challenge the might of the big man before him, and Justin Bolos was quite the size of a man.
"give me my sister! give me back my sister!!!" Dan struggled.
However, Eros walked forward and suddenly pulled him back.
Dan turned about surprised by this, "GRANDDAD!!?"
However, Eros gave him a confident smile, "that's not how things are done boy. You don't just run against a bigger man. It's better you aim for a sweet spot and..."
Eros suddenly turned to Justin and kicked him in between the legs.
"OUU!!!" Justin went straight to the ground with his hands holding in between his legs.
"HUH!?" Eros actions took everyone by surprise.
However, Dan smiled at this as he rushed to hug his sister.
The force of their embrace showed their longing for one another.
Penny embraced him tightly, a few drops of tears fell down the side of her eyes.
Eros saw their embrace and nodded.
He knew that they had missed each other very much.
Seeing their union made him excited.
Penny suddenly looked up at Eros. He definitely looked much different than she remembered him.
But she knew from deep down that this was him.
She instantly dived into his embrace.
However just before she would reach, she was suddenly pulled back.
Baron Bolos stepped forward.
"Lord Eros, I think you have forgotten how things are done as a noble of the state. Let me remind you. I have your grand daughter based on our agreement."
Baron Bolos brought out a shit of paper in front of Ero's face, "or have you forgotten!? The deadline of your payment passed. I am obliged to take anything or anyone from your territory as compensation for the debt."
"But we already paid you!" Dan retorted.
Those words suddenly made Baron Bolos frown.
After all, he remembered the crates of coins that had been sent accompanied by Captain Bulk's headless corpse.
"If it is money you want, we can double it!" Dan added, "just give me back my sister!"
"Shut up boy!" Baron Bolos suddenly activated his soul energy pushing Dan back, "this is a matter between Baron's."
Seeing this, Eros stepped forward, "how dare you touch my Grand son!"
His soul energy was also activated.
The confrontation between both men drew the attention of everyone in the hall.
Eros's body oozed lightly in white miasma while Baron Bolos's body oozed in dark red Maisma.
Both men stared each other in the eyes.
The atmosphere between them was slowly climbing. It was a tense situation.
Evidently, a fight was soon to breaking out.
Everyone knew these two had history. A lot of which was violent.
Even though Eros had owed Baron Bolos some money, it was not right that he had invaded and destroyed his lands the way he did.
Also, Eros had to honor the agreement he made for the money he borrowed.
With both Barons believing that they were on their right, this was a stand off that would later become talk amongst the nobles.
Just then, a light shy voice was heard.
"Men! So brutish in every thing."
Every one turned to the sound of the voice.
It was a much older woman. She appeared to be in her late forties.
However, that did not stop her from dressing skimpy.
The moment Eros and Baron Bolos saw her, their soul energy went down.
Eros bowed and so did Baron Bolos.
Dan by the side dis not know who this cougar was.
"Granddad!" He whispered, "who is that?"
"That is Viscount Peter!"
"HUH!?" Dan was left shocked.
