Video game: Rise of the Ultimate Villain-Chapter 7: Selling Art, Not the Body

At the dinner, people were toasting and laughing, and the atmosphere was very warm.

People kept leaving their seats and walked over to Damien Blackwell to toast.

"Mr. Blackwell, I toast you."

Ethan Young walked over to Damien Blackwell with a pot of white wine, looking very respectful, and drank the whole pot of wine!

Damien Blackwell smiled slightly, raised his glass, clinked it with him, and took a sip.

But Ethan Young, the son of the chairman, was very happy, as if it was a great honor for him to have a drink with Damien Blackwell!

Sarah Keaton and several female artists looked at each other, and they were all shocked.

Ethan Young is the son of the provincial chairman. When did he become so humble?

Who is this young Damien?

Sarah Keaton's seat was next to Damien Blackwell, and she kept peeking at him.

From the first glance at Damien Blackwell, the first impression Sarah Keaton had was handsomeness.

His face was like a sculpture with distinct features and angular lines. He seemed to be a person walking out of a painting, the most perfect statue of an artist, flawless.

She had also seen many handsome men in the entertainment industry.

But those male stars were completely incomparable to Damien Blackwell, who made them look like beggars!

It was not just the difference in appearance, but more in temperament!

Damien Blackwell's temperament was very noble, and it was natural, something that could not be acted out. It was the kind of temperament that he had cultivated since he was a child.

Although he did not talk much, every word was impressive.

It caused everyone to echo his sentiments.

And through the conversation between Damien Blackwell, Ethan Young, and others, Sarah Keaton finally confirmed Damien's identity.

The eldest son of the Blackwell family in the imperial capital, the only son of the ruling Blackwell patriarch!

When they realized Damien Blackwell's identity, Sarah Keaton and other female artists were completely shocked, their mouths agape as they stared at Damien in disbelief.

No one in the Empire didn't know the weight of the Blackwell name.

The Blackwell family has been at the top of the empire for thousands of years. It is the leading family in the empire.

The current head of the Blackwell family is one of the three giants of the empire, the ruler of the Cardinal Council, and his status is second only to the Regent!

Sarah Keaton was shocked.

There was even a sense of unreality...

Although she is a big star and has seen many big figures, she had only heard of Damien Blackwell and felt very distant from him.

And now, she was sitting next to Damien Blackwell?

For a moment, Sarah Keaton was dizzy...

But then, Sarah realized something even more troubling.

Damien Blackwell had just arrived in Eastsea City from the imperial capital today. Doesn't that mean... the person who caused Liam Foster's job transfer to fail is Damien Blackwell!?

Thinking of this, Sarah was confused....

She knew that with Damien Blackwell's identity, Liam Foster would be in danger just by knowing Damien's identity, let alone seeking revenge!

I don't know how long it took, but the banquet finally ended.

Ethan Young and others took their female companions and prepared to leave the club. Sarah Keaton knew what would happen next.

Those female artists were not only not reluctant but seemed very happy.

After all, they all knew that being in the company of these powerful people would be of great benefit to their careers.

If they were lucky enough to marry into a wealthy family, it would really be a step to heaven!

Of course, if possible, they would prefer to be in the company of Damien Blackwell, but... Damien Blackwell's status is too high, so high that these female artists are afraid!

Sarah Keaton was ready to go home. She was a self-disciplined person and disdained to use such means to climb the social ladder.

She became a singer not for fame and fortune, but simply because she liked to sing.

"Sarah, wait a moment."

In the corridor, Michael Rivers stopped Sarah Keaton.

"Mr. Rivers, what's up? I'm going home."

Michael Rivers showed a strange smile on his face and shook his head, saying, "Don't go home tonight, go and rest with Mr. Blackwell."

Although he didn't say it clearly, Sarah Keaton already understood what Michael Rivers meant.

Sarah Keaton paused and quickly refused: "Mr. Rivers... Mr. Rivers, we agreed that I would sell my art but not my body."

Hearing Sarah Keaton's refusal, the smile on Michael Rivers's face disappeared and became gloomy.

"Do you think I'll discuss it with you again?"

Looking at the viciousness on Michael Rivers's face, Sarah Keaton was immediately frightened. She certainly knew Michael Rivers's power and influence.

Apart from anything else, her parents have now found a job in a company under the Rising Tide Guild.

Don't look at her current popularity as a big star that everyone is chasing after.

But it would be easy for Michael Rivers to destroy her.

Her parents...

Seeing the fear on Sarah Keaton's face, Michael Rivers also softened his tone slightly: "You know the identity of Mr. Blackwell.

It is the dream of many women to become his woman! I am not harming you, I am helping you!"

Sarah Keaton heard this and did not refute it, because she also knew...

Michael Rivers was telling the truth! "If you become Mr. Blackwell's woman, you will be elevated to a new level. At that time, even I will have to call you Miss Keaton."

Michael Rivers looked at Sarah Keaton, and his eyes were full of indifference.

Since Sarah Keaton debuted, he has been protecting her.

Do you think it is because he admires Sarah Keaton? What a joke! In his eyes, Sarah Keaton is a gift that he carefully selected to please those above.

Before presenting the gift, of course, he must ensure that the gift has not been opened.

This time when Mr. Blackwell came to Eastsea City, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! How to use Sarah Keaton to please Damien Blackwell, not only him, but also the Rising Tide Guild behind him can benefit greatly! He absolutely cannot tolerate missing this opportunity!

Listening to Michael Rivers's threats and persuasion, carrots and sticks, Sarah Keaton was confused.

The first reason was that she just wanted to sing, and the second was because of Liam Foster.

She regarded Liam Foster as her younger brother, but Damien Blackwell ruined Liam's future.

But at this moment, Sarah Keaton was shocked to find that deep in her heart, she seemed to have no hatred for Damien Blackwell!

Even... to serve Damien Blackwell, she didn't have much resistance!

Maybe it was because... Damien Blackwell was too handsome and noble. To be honest, serving Damien Blackwell might not be a disadvantage for someone...

Sarah Keaton was confused and finally nodded.

---

For Damien Blackwell, today's banquet was not particularly enriching; it was just to connect with these families in Eastsea.

His real purpose was still Ryan and Liam Foster.

In fact, with the power of the Blackwell family, these two could be crushed to death at will.

But the problem lies here.

If it was a noble family, it would be fine. The Blackwell family would destroy it with thunder and lightning, and nothing would happen.

However, Ryan's status was too low. If the Blackwell family took action directly, it would definitely arouse suspicion from other forces!

Otherwise, with the status of the Blackwell family, how could they target some ordinary people?

The secret source was something the Blackwell family did not want to expose, but it added a few constraints.

Especially although the Blackwell family was powerful and was the top noble family in the empire.

But the Blackwell family was not the ruler of the empire yet and could not do whatever they wanted.

Damien Blackwell narrowed his eyes and looked at the magnificent giant statue in the distant city center.

The Regent of the Empire, the strongest man in the empire today, the 90th level Galaxy Sword Saint - Lucas Jones!
