Chapter 677: Chapter 68: How to Properly Increase Favorability
After parking the car in a nearby parking lot, Jason walked toward ‘Memory Lane’ on foot.
Strolling along the streets at night, Jason recalled the dinner he’d just had, and couldn’t help but smile.
‘The Unyielding Copper’ had never let him down.
Whether it was the warriors, the knights, or the food there.
Not only was the portion generous, but the taste was also quite good.
To put it simply, it was rough yet refined.
Bolun bowed in greeting.
It was an ancient ritual, not the contemporary one popular among the upper class, the etiquette of this world’s past.
Clearly, it was something the other had learned in recent times.
Indeed, that was the case.
In recent times, although Bolun hadn’t genuinely come into contact with ‘Mystical Side knowledge,’ he had learned some peripheral matters of the ‘Mystical Side.’ ꭆÁ𝐍ＯꞖÊS̈
For example: ancient etiquette.
Bolun didn’t like such rituals.
He thought modern etiquette was more direct.
Yet, the young man, knowing full well that to blend into a circle one must adopt the corresponding stance, spared no effort in learning everything that should be learned.
Even disdain and aversion couldn’t stop him.
Thus, at this moment, Bolun really did resemble a noble youth from two hundred years ago.
Even ordinary clothes couldn’t mask such an impression.
Jason looked at the young man before him, remaining silent.
He knew that the other didn’t come over just to say hi.
Their relationship hadn’t reached that level of familiarity.
So what was the purpose of his visit?
Jason wondered naturally.
In the face of Jason’s silence, Bolun revealed a benevolent smile.
He had said before that there were two methods.
The timing had been wrong before, forcing the most passive option.
But now, the opportunity had arrived!
He naturally had to seize it!
Even if the possibility of failure meant being smashed to bits!
With this thought, the last bit of disharmony on Bolun’s face disappeared, leaving him looking completely at ease.
"Lord Jason, may I have the honor of inviting you to dine with me?”
"Both for this encounter,”
"And as an apology for last time.”
Bolun said this with a smile, his expression composed, eyes showing no oddity, even his heartbeat was steady.
He seemed, just as he stated, to be merely making amends.
But Emily, watching from a distance, had her heart pounding like a drum.
Emily had not forgotten what Bolun had just mentioned.
Bolun was taking a gamble!
Gambling on his own destiny!
Gambling on Jason’s true love for food!
Emily immediately recalled what Bolun had said after leaving Tony’s Restaurant.
‘Lord Jason must truly love food; back at the restaurant, there was a faint sense of excitement in his eyes.’
‘Of course, it could be a disguise.’
Although it was a brief glimpse, Bolun had observed quite a bit.
Emily believed in this.
She knew how exceptional her friend’s observational skills were.
Still, she was slightly puzzled by the latter comment.
Why would anyone disguise their love for food?
Her friend had then answered.
‘Because, there is no better way to divert attention from a weakness than ‘disguise’!’
‘Creating an obvious ‘weak point’ is much better than exposing the real one!’
