Chapter 54 - Match Results (I)

Although Uncle Berg had reminded Xi Wei not to let any alphas get too close to him, Xi Wei and Klaire had shared lives in two worlds, after all, and their relationship wasn't ordinary. If you asked him to deliberately give Klaire the cold shoulder, of course he’d feel that it was strange. So when Klaire walked over to him, he couldn’t help but welcome him, and their movements were even very natural.

But when other people saw this scene, it looked a little too ambiguous.

Especially that scene of Xi Wei and Klaire looking at each other while smiling. They practically treated everyone else as empty air.

Everyone knew that the two of them were childhood friends who had been born on the same day and grew up together. It was within the bounds of reason for them to be close. Klaire’s intentions toward Xi Wei were very clear, but when it came to marriage, it was hard to achieve anything without support. The key point was still seeing His Majesty’s opinion. If His Majesty didn’t agree, no matter how much Klaire liked Xi Wei, he wouldn’t get anywhere.

Joen stood by watching this scene, and slightly narrowed his eyes. He took the initiative to walk over and said, “You’re Klaire? I almost couldn’t recognize you.”

Klaire smiled and said, “Upperclassman, it’s been a long time since we’ve met.”

The Klaire in front of him had undergone a huge transformation. In Joen’s memory, the Klaire from back then had been a cute little kid. He never thought that after this guy grew up, he would have such handsome looks. With his high, straight nose, sensuous thin lips, and a pair of fathomless blue eyes, he looked very charming when he smiled.

When Klaire was sixteen, not only did he obtain early admittance to St. Romia Military Academy, but he also passed the highest level examination in martial arts and got his black belt. He had practically become a legendary figure in the Empire, and he was the idol of many young alphas.

Joen had heard of many of his accomplishments. But Joen had been several grades higher than him, and by the time Klaire entered school, he had already graduated. They hadn’t seen each other at school, so this was their first meeting in several years.

Facing Joen’s gaze, Klaire wore a polite smile on his face, but in his heart, he couldn’t help but feel a bit of loathing. He had always felt that this person wasn’t simple. The expression in Joen’s eyes when he looked at Xi Wei made Klaire feel, for the first time, a sense of crisis.

They were the eyes of a hunter looking at his prey. They carried a hint of appreciation, and also some amusement, as if Xi Wei simply couldn’t escape from his grasp.

Klaire frowned, gently took Xi Wei’s hand, and said softly in his ear, “It’s too noisy here. Let’s go over there and have something to eat, are you hungry?”

Xi Wei touched his stomach and said with a smile, “I actually am hungry, let’s go.”

Klaire led Xi Wei through the crowd to where Aiden was sitting.

When Xi Wei saw his good friend, he immediately walked over to him and sat on the sofa beside him. “How did it go? Did you see any alphas that caught your interest?”

Aiden’s physique was similar to Randy’s, with an early first heat. It was already time to get married. He didn’t reject the idea of marriage, but rather looked forward to finding a good alpha and having a few cute babies. When Xi Wei called up Aiden to the banquet, it was for the sake of letting his good friend meet an alpha he liked. After all, this banquet was a rare opportunity to gather together all the most eligible alpha bachelors from distinguished families on the capital planet.
