Cosmic Paragon-Chapter 72: Procession

Drake had an indifferent look in his eyes as he scanned the crowd then he started walking into the Grand hall.

The twins walked at the front, while Drake followed behind them and half a step behind was the two beauties Cassandra and Sylvia.

’This guy really is a Boss. For others we always try to show off our rich status to attract attention. But this guy didn’t even bother dressing too lavishly and jut came in casual clothes.’

Every other person here tonight was dressed to show of their clout, but Drake didn’t do all of that, instead he completely disregarded it all. He was dressed casually and walked fearlessly forward in front of everyone’s gazes. While the beauties trailed behind him.

"What a guy!" Jeremy sighed.

Zack saw Drake step out of the vehicle and his face darkened. A faint killing intent appeared in his eyes as his resentment was stoked.

A student who couldn’t take seeing Drake like this shouted, "What’s with this scrub? Someone throw him out."

"Yeah why is there someone with such a weak magic power walking with the two Goddesses?" Another guy also queried displeased.

Zack took this time to speak up, "That is Drake Black, he’s a new student and he’s just a 1 Star mage."

"Huh? A 1 Star Mage?" Everybody finally turned their attention back to Drake.

"So that’s Drake Black, I heard he was supposed to have earned quite a few mage points during Survival Training and there’s even a rumor that he killed a Grade 3 Magic Beast? I bet that was just a complete lie." another person added on.

"Of course it’s a lie!" Someone next to him interjected.

"Humph, a Grade 3 Magic beast? Don’t be foolish. He would probably run with his tail between his legs the moment he heard that there was a Grade 2 Magic Beast nearby, yet you say he killed a Grade 3 Magic Beast? That’s absurd!" someone standing next to him snorted.

Cassandra saw how everyone was looking down on Drake, so she gave a stealthy glance at Sylvia. And stepped forward till she was right next to him.

Drake looked around indifferently when suddenly a burst of fragrance hit him, and two soft arms wrapped around his arms, pulling closer towards him.

Drake instantly stiffened, looking at Sylvia and Cassandra in shock. He had no idea what they were doing. Why were they suddenly acting so affectionate? .

Sylvia’s face reddened and she bashfully said, "This our apology for dragging you into our games."

Cassandra giggled and whispered, "Just be quiet and enjoy it."

Being escorted, arm-in-arm, by two beauties, Drake practically forgot how to walk properly.

Peter and Paul immediately understood what Sylvia and Cassandra were doing, and they respectfully stepped forward to part the spectators opening a path for them to walk to the front.

Drake was speechless, somehow this had turned into a procession.

He could only give a rueful smile in his heart and resign himself to the fact that he would probably be made into an enemy of all men after tonight. But then when he remembered the two top grade beauties in his arms, he dismissed all misgivings.

’Fuck it! Which arrogant son doesn’t want to hold beauties like these in his arms at least once in his life. If they want to cause trouble, then let’s go wild. I won’t hold back and might as well enjoy it.’ with this thought in his mind his back straightened.

When Sylvia and Cassandra walked into the front of the group of spectators with Drake, quite a few women’s eyes lit up.

Drake was devilishly handsome, he was still inferior to Richard in the strength aspect. However, Drake possessed a certain wildness that he did not.

Seeing that dangerous, mysterious wildness, it felt as if Drake was an untamed beast, that made people to feel that he was both dangerous, as well as beautiful.

This feeling was especially prominent in the ladies, they had an urge to attempt to subdue him.

However, most people weren’t thinking of that. That was because most of the ones present were men who wanted to kill Drake and take his place.

Sylvia and Casandra were both top beauties, and the most amazing thing about them was that their type of beauty was completely different. The two of them contrasted with each other perfectly, and combined, that level of beauty shook their souls and made it so they were unable to breathe.

Each man present felt their envy practically drive them insane. Some of them were able to restrain that envy, but there were some who weren’t able to hold back, and their eyes turned green from their envy.

When they saw Cassandra giggling and Sylvia blushing, they thought the trio were fraternizing in front of them and it drove several of them crazy and Drake’s smile was taken for gloating in their eyes.

Even the usually indifferent Richard revealed some envy in his eyes. Only now did he realize both Sylvia and Cassandra were also exceptionally beautiful, not at all inferior to Sophia.

"Let’s go." Richard said and turned leading the members of the Empyreans away.

Zack was very dissatisfied when he saw Drake moving with two top grade beauties and wanted to cause him some trouble.

His mind moved quickly as he had an idea and he stepped forward, "Wait, this guy shouldn’t be allowed in, he doesn’t have an invitation."

Drake was suddenly confused ’Invitation, what’s this about an invitation?’

He knew Zack disliked him, and he had definitely expected him to do something against himself when he had stepped forward, but what the hell was he talking about an invitation?

"If you don’t believe me you can ask him to show his invitation." Zack added.

Cassandra frowned when she saw Zack causing trouble, She knew clearly that Drake did not have an invitation so she said. "What’s this nonsense about an invitation? Don’t you see me walking with him here? He’s with me, I have an invitation and it clearly states that I’m allowed to bring a plus one."

She handed her invitation card to someone ushering that had walked up to them.

Nobody could refute her. It is true that the invitation allowed a person to bring an extra body along so there was nothing anybody could do about Drake.

"You are mistaken Lady Cassandra. The invitation clearly states that you are allowed to bring with you another talented young genius mage with you and as far as that is concerned, Drake Black is not a talented young mage."

"Among all the talented young geniuses here tonight, none are lower than 2 star Mages. Drake Black might be in our age group, but he is still only just a 1 star Mage. That means we are clearly not on the same level."

"Even if we were to be magnanimous and permit him to give you face, If we were to let him join in with us, it would lower the status of all the genius mages here tonight. Don’t you think doing something so selfish would be bad on your reputation miss Cassandra?"

Zack had said this on purpose, Ever since he had found out her true Cultivtion level he had given up all hope of getting with her. Now he was facing Cassandra looking like he was defending the interests of all the young mages that were here tonight. This would make her powerless, since she could not go against all the students.

It was a small plan to keep Drake out, but it was well thought through.

"And What if he were a 2 Star Mage, would he be invited then?" Paul crossed his arms and asked.

He was not happy that some poser was trying to step on his Boss’s toes.

"Everyone in attendance here tonight has an invitation with them that was given since days ago, even if he were to turn out to be a 2 Star mage now, it still wouldn’t mean anything. After all that would simply mean that he had just advanced to the 2 Star Mage level within the last 24 hours, that does not necessarily make him a talented genius on our level."

"There are probably other mages that have also just advanced to the 2 Star Mage level themselves. But none of them has been invited so far, so doing so just for Drake Black would be unfair to all the others. Without an invitation Drake cannot be allowed in tonight."

This was an insurance plan he had come up with when he remembered the rumors about Drake possibly killing a Grade 3 Magic Beast. He did not expect for Drake to truly have advanced to 2 star Mage, but he still thought having this insurance would be better.

The twins both took a step forward, but Drake stopped them simply calling out "Stop"

The twins received the order from their Boss and obediently stopped in their tracks.

Peter and Paul glared silently at Zack, right now they wanted nothing more than to charge forward and beat this stupid poser to the ground.

Unfortunately they couldn’t or maybe all the students here would team up and attack them together. Even though they liked chaos and would love to go a few rounds with these geniuses, they couldn’t beat this many people.

Instead they would only give the other side a chance to deal with them. They had made quite a few enemies already since the beauties Sylvia and Cassandra were with them and these bastards would definitely jump at the chance to deal with them.

The twins might not care for the pain and humiliation they would go through, but Drake would not let his people suffer just like that.

Drake stared calmly at Zack, he looked down on this guy. Drake had never offended him or done anything that caused any beef to rise between them, but this guy was so set on causing him trouble, just because he tried courting a girl and failed, she turned him down and turned to Drake and because of that he made Drake his target to vent his rage.
