Fairy Tail: You can become stronger by spending money.

"Tsk, lowly civilians."

Cheng Feng's enjoyment of the meal was seen by many people present, who looked at him with some disgust.

But soon, when they learned of Cheng Feng's identity, the disgust on their faces disappeared a little.

But he still looked down on Cheng Feng.

After all, each of them is worth hundreds of billions. What use is a Saint Ten Magician other than using his title to scare people?

If they really encounter trouble, they just wave their money and these wizards will surround them like dogs.

Other people's cold eyes and disdain are of no use to Cheng Feng.

They laughed at Cheng Feng for being rude, and Cheng Feng laughed at them for being so stubborn and suffering.

Why are you pretending? After the dinner, everyone went home to get some midnight snack to fill their stomachs. He didn't believe that these guys would go home and starve without eating.

Aren’t you tired of being bound by rules and regulations? Wouldn’t it be better to live freely?

"Hey, wait, give me some juice."

Cheng Feng took a sip of red wine and almost vomited it out.

It smells okay, but why does it taste sour and bitter when I drink it?

Cheng Feng quickly stopped a maid and prepared to get a glass of juice to rinse his mouth.

The little maid was stopped by Cheng Feng. She lowered her head and watched Cheng Feng replace the red wine with juice with disgust. She said softly, "Guest, this is the red wine brewed by our Miss Lucy herself. She brought it out specially to entertain you."

"Oh, so what?"

Cheng Feng took a sip of the juice and said with disdain, "It smells nice, but it's sour and astringent and not tasty at all. I might as well drink juice instead."

Hearing Cheng Feng belittling Lucy without hesitation, the little maid raised her head and glanced at Cheng Feng.

Cheng Feng also glanced at the other party. For some reason, he felt that the little maid in front of him looked familiar.

After thinking for a while, Cheng Feng finally realized: "Looks familiar? Could this little girl be Lucy?!"

Cheng Feng guessed correctly. The girl dressed as a maid was Lucy Heartfilia.

Lucy knew that her father organized this dinner just to treat her as a commodity and put her on display.

At the same time, we are also looking to see if there is any company willing to form an alliance to improve the business and expansion of Heartfilia Railway.

Lucy had no choice, but she also thought of something she could resist now.

That is to take out the red wine that he had brewed and disgust these people.

Seeing these people knowing that the wine was not good but still pretending to taste it as if it was the finest wine, Lucy felt a sense of revenge.

But it was obvious that Cheng Feng didn't buy it.

Lucy looked at the dress that Cheng Feng was wearing. It looked okay, but an expert could tell at a glance that it was not a custom-made dress by a famous designer. She thought quickly and then said, "Are you one of the new Ten Holy Mages, Mr. Cheng Feng?"

"Don't use honorifics. It makes me uncomfortable."

Cheng Feng shuddered and said to Lucy, "I'm about the same age as you, just call me Cheng Feng."

"Okay, Cheng Feng."

Lucy laughed and looked at Cheng Feng and said, "Cheng Feng, you wizards, are you very free?"

"free?"

Cheng Feng drank some juice and smiled, "That depends on your definition of freedom. This world is a cage. Dancing in a cage is also a kind of freedom. Breaking free from the cage is also a kind of freedom."

Looking at Lucy who seemed to be thinking about something, Cheng Feng struck while the iron was hot and said, "The Heartfilia family is very rich, but I feel very restrained here. Everyone wears a mask when communicating, and everything is for the purpose of profit. Compared to here, I like our guild more. Although it is definitely very poor compared to the Heartfilia family, everyone works hard to make money, and it is usually noisy. But I like it there more, because it is more like a home, and everyone can be their truest self."

At this point, Cheng Feng acted embarrassed and said to Lucy: "Of course, I'm not belittling the Heartfilia family, don't take it to heart."

Lucy shook her head to indicate that she was fine, but only she knew how much shock Cheng Feng's words had given her, and how they had planted a seed in her heart.

This seed will eventually grow and Lucy will eventually follow in her mother's footsteps and become a wizard.

Being a rich lady, marrying and having children for the sake of property, that is not the life that Lucy wants!

Lucy left, and Jiude also came out, said some polite words, and then toasted to each guest.

Cheng Feng watched silently, and was ready to slip away when the time was almost up.

Such occasions really make people uncomfortable.

After Jiude finished his round of toasts, he came to Cheng Feng, raised his glass and smiled at Cheng Feng, "Welcome, Cheng Feng, one of the Ten Great Magicians of the Saints."

"I don't drink alcohol, so I drink juice instead."

Cheng Feng raised his glass towards Jiude and spoke calmly.

"of course can."

Jiude and Cheng Feng drank a glass, put down the glass, and said to Cheng Feng: "Actually, the main reason I invited you here is that I want you to witness my daughter's birthday. She has always loved magic. Thank you very much for coming here in your busy schedule."

"It's okay, just by the way."

Cheng Feng looked at Jiude and said calmly, "But I feel like it shouldn't be just that simple, right?"

"I really can't hide it from you."

Jiude laughed and said to Cheng Feng: "I heard that Cheng Feng, you have a pharmaceutical business."

"Yes, do you want to intervene?"

Cheng Feng calmly drank the juice.

"No, no, no, I don't have the ability like you."

Jiude waved his hand and said, "But it's a shame to sell such a good potion so cheaply. If you give it to me, I promise that your commission for each bottle of potion will at least double."

"As far as I know, the Heartfilia family should not have a related industrial chain, right?"

Cheng Feng smiled slightly.

“Everything comes from nothing.”

Jiude also laughed: "If you are willing to cooperate, then my daughter can also marry you, and we can become bigger and stronger together."

Looking at the other person's smile, Cheng Feng restrained his smile and said coldly: "But I refuse!"

Jiude's smiling face suddenly froze.

"One of my favorite things to do is to say no to those who think they are capable!"

Cheng Feng looked at Jiude and said coldly: "Besides, I don't think that a person who can sell out his own daughter for wealth is a person who can be trusted!"

After saying that, Cheng Feng put the empty cup on the table, looked at Jiude with a livid face and said: "Sometimes, things are not always right as you think. If you really want to do good for your daughter, listen to her opinions. Thank you for your hospitality, this place is not really suitable for me."

After saying that, Cheng Feng tugged at his tie, ignored Jiude, and strode out of the Heartfilia mansion.

Receiving it, the golden aura on his body surged, surging magic power exploded, and the powerful air waves blew the guests at the banquet toppled.

When they looked towards Cheng Feng, they found that he had disappeared. Only a fleeting golden light in the sky told everyone what had just happened!
