Daddy Fantasy World Restaurant

Chapter 1147: Haha, Stupid Human

Charney, who was very experienced in the business world, still couldn’t control the astonishment on his face when he saw the glowing longsword in Adams’ hand.

Three days ago, he had even specifically confirmed with Adams’ knight master that Adams had not advanced successfully, and would most likely remain in the 3rd-tier forever. Therefore, he had prepared this grand dinner banquet.

However, Adams actually became a mid-tier knight today. This was simply befuddling!

Mrs Charney stood at a side and stared at the father and son in a confusion. She was happy for Adams, yet worried for Charney at the same time. She had no idea what to say at that moment.

“When did you advance, Adams? Are you really a mid-tier knight?” Charney asked Adams doubtfully, trying to calm himself down.

“I have just advanced last night,” Adams explained before looking at Michael, and respectfully said, “I would like to ask the city lord to be my witness to prove my advancement to a mid-tier knight.”

“Light of the Sword Projection is indeed only achievable after advancing to the 4th-tier. I have observed the energy in Adams’ body. It has indeed reached the standard of a 4th-tier. He is officially a mid-tier knight.” Michael nodded before extending his right hand to shake Adams’s hand. He smilingly said, “Congratulations, young knight.”

“Thank you.” Adams quickly kept his longsword and shook Michael’s hand with an excited expression.

“With the city lord’s testimony, it seems like Adams has won this three-year agreement.”

“I guess Charney is going to have insomnia again. I don’t know what to say about this son of his.”

“He is so formidable. A young 4th-tier knight!”

People were watching Adams and his father with different expressions. Some of them were astonished, some were gloating, and some young ladies were smiling at him with admiration.

“Father, you will honor the agreement, right?” Adams asked Charney, trying his best to keep his emotions in check.

Charney’s hands were trembling. He had waited three years for this day, and he thought he was going to win. He was about to start his successor grooming project when Adams gave him a huge setback.

But the stage was already set today, and half of the rich and powerful people in Chaos City were present. Lord Michael had already testified personally, so he couldn’t go back on his words, or he would be an untrustworthy man, and the Gould Family would lose its honor.

Charney patted Adams’ shoulder lightly with a warm smile as he said, “Adams, I admire your character and talent as a knight, and you have proven yourself again in front of all these people by becoming an honorable 4th-tier knight. Your mother and I are proud of you.

“I promise you I will not interfere in your path toward being a great knight from now on, but I hope you can consider being the Gould Family’s successor and continue its excellence at the same time as you pursue your dream as a knight.”

Charney looked at Adams with an intense gaze that was filled with hope and expectations.

Adams’ mother stepped forward and held onto Charney’s hand as she emotionally said to Adams, “Adams, your father only has one child and that’s you.”

Everyone was looking at Adams. No one was able to refuse a condition like this, right?

In the eyes of the majority of the people, Adams was only trying to be a knight for fun. He would return to where he should be when he had enough fun.

“I am sorry, Father. I reject it,” Adams replied Charney with his chin raised slightly. With a confident smile, he said, “My hair has already regrown, so I believe I will become an excellent knight. My objective is to become a great knight like Alex. I need to focus, so I cannot be distracted by money and women.”

“Hair?” Charney’s gaze moved upward and landed on top of Adams’ head. Under the bright candlelight, there was indeed a layer of short new hair as fine as fur visible. It resembled grass nourished by the spring rain and popping up everywhere.

“Adams’s hair has really regrown!” Happiness flashed across the face of Adams’ mother, and she stepped forward to look at his new hair subconsciously with reddened eyes.

“It has actually regrown?” Charney murmured in surprise. He, too, had shut himself away when he began to lose his hair in the past. He tried uncountable methods to regrow his hair, but neither doctors nor magic casters could help. He only accepted his bald look gradually after many years, but he would still feel uncomfortable when people were talking about it behind his back.

“Wah. Baldness is actually curable now?”

Everyone started to show their astonishment, and the eyes of many who were bothered by hair loss problems widened. They looked at Adams and planned how to ask him for the solution.

Charney looked at Adams who seemed to glow under the light. His gaze was as clear as if he was still a teenager. It reminded him of that young man who had wanted to be a great musician but eventually chose to submit. Now, he had even forgotten how to hold a musical instrument.

Did I become someone that I hated when I was young? Charney sneered at himself in his heart. He smiled at Adams. “Since you want to become a knight like Alex, I will wait 10 years for you as he had become invincible at 30 years old. If you are still unknown then, you will come back to inherit the family business as I will already be old by then.”

Adams stared at Charney in a shock. He thought his father was going to try his best to stop him. He didn’t expect he would suggest another 10-year-agreement.

Looking at the desolation in that pair of eyes, Adams felt guilty for the first time. After a moment of hesitation, he nodded with conviction. “Alright, a 10-year-agreement. If I am still a nobody then, I will definitely come back to inherit the family business and continue the Gould Family’s glory.”

Michael took a step forward and laughed as he said, “Since this is the case, I will be the witness of this 10-year-agreement.”

He is such a weird person, Scheer thought as she looked at Adams. Then, she thought again, she herself might be a weirdo in other people’s eyes too.

...

It was already late in the night, and Mamy Restaurant was closed for business. The dark first floor hall was in total silence.

Right at this moment, a bat hanging in the corner landed on the floor softly, and transformed into Camilla in a black dress. She smirked. “Haha, stupid human. I will show my prowess once I get the Photostones.”
