After I became a real young master, I became famous for my bad behavior

Xien came back to his senses and complained in his heart, then looked at the examiners:

"I just don't know if the examiners will agree..."

At this moment, Sheen noticed the movement of Scott's hand: his hand was clearly on the armrest, but he didn't know when it was put up.

What is striking is that he only put his right hand up.

Sheen watched Scott's right hand groping for something.

It's a table knife...

There is such a setting in "The Mediation Game": at the welcome banquet of Impes, the final right of approval is completely given to the heir.

(The reality is Scott)

The heir will suddenly place his right hand on the table in the middle of the meal and choose whether to take the knife or the fork.

The knife is sharp when cutting food, which represents the "enemy".

The fork is used to assist eating and represents "friend".

Western dining etiquette is to hold the fork in the left hand and the knife in the right hand. If you stretch your right hand to hold the fork, you will be very conspicuous, but holding the knife will not.

This is also a wonderful feature that confirms "Impes's Smart Friends".

Sheen found it very interesting, and he just watched Scott put his right hand on the handle of the table knife and raised it slightly towards the Duke.

Oh...

"This guy is out."

The other Impers' faces softened slightly when they saw Scott's hand holding the dinner knife.

Sheen wondered in his heart:

It seems that they don't want to listen to Liu Xuxu's inconsistent remarks.

"A fence-sitter is not suitable to be Impes's friend."

Sheen suddenly felt an elbow hit his left hand.

It's Leo.

Leo grabbed Sheen's sleeve with his right hand, briefly attracting Sheen's attention and creating the wrong signal that "Luluxiu was put down on guard."

After Sheen realized what was happening, he couldn't help but complain in his heart - "They are really good at acting..."

Seeing the happy faces of the people on both sides, Li Luxiu also felt relieved:

"Ah... I knew the Duke was very perceptive..."

While Xien was happy, he felt sorry for Li Luxiu in his heart:

Too bad you've been kicked out.

The Duke no doubt saw Scott's hint.

"Who told you that?"

The Duke placed his hands on the table, his right hand on top of his left, and smiled at Liu Luxiu with narrowed eyes.

Such a smile——

At least it never appeared when Sheen and the Duke met and chatted.

The fake smile was filled with disdain and sympathy, sympathizing with the speaker's stupidity.

"what?"

Liu Luxiu also felt the subtlety of the atmosphere.

Everyone fell silent again.

The Duke did not spare any enemies who despised Impes:

"Ever since you said that Jason, who took my place, was the 'other' Duke of Imperius, I felt that there was no need to negotiate this contract."

"Ah? Are you so stubborn?"

After Liu Xuxu blurted out, he subconsciously covered his mouth.

axis...

Sheen and Scott looked at each other, then looked at Liu Xu at the same time.

Their faces were filled with regret and a sense of watching a play.

Have a nice journey...

James put his hands on the table and explained confidently:

"The royal family recognized the position of the fake heir who was not presentable, and regarded the real Duke of Imperth as 'seizing power'. This shows that you still regard me as 'unorthodox' in your hearts."

"The same goes for the current Haynes Group..."

After James briefly fixed his gaze on Sheen (Sheen briefly looked at James), he looked at Liu Xuxiu.

Sheen said he almost died...

"Ugh..."

James closed his eyes and sighed.

"If it weren't for the rampage of the Black Crows, Haines wouldn't be so corrupt... Don't get me wrong, I certainly don't mean to mock Haines..."

The Duke's acting skills are online:

"I just feel sorry for them for abandoning Haines' light with their own hands. Perhaps this is the mutual pity among the sons of the oracle?"

Sheen was completely overwhelmed by James's cunning and smooth side:

Duke, are you testing others or speaking for me?

Li Luxiu widened his eyes, very surprised:

"No, what does this have to do with Sheen?"

Xien was also at a loss, and complained in his heart:

"I said I was useful to you, is this how I was used?"

James said regretfully:

"What a pity. As a duke blessed by the gods, I disdain to deal with those who pretend to be rich."

The Duke put his elbows up and put his hands together to his mouth.

He smirked a few times:

"You all know I hate Haynes. But I don't hate God."

"Do you know the reason?"

The people present fell silent.

"Do you think I would go with someone like that?"

The Duke's soul asked.

He was referring to Li Luxiu who supported Xi Lun——

If the royal family wants to show some sincerity, it would be better for them to send Everett, who has more diplomatic experience. Don't use Liu Xuxiu to ruin my mood!

"Ah... no,"

Li Luxiu lowered his head. He understood the Duke's implication:

Impes refused the royal family's offer of friendship.

Of course, the speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously.

After hearing what the Duke of Impes said, Sheen lowered his head and remained silent.

Suddenly I thought of the current Haynes: basically "fakes are taking the place of real ones."

James is "real", but is considered a "power grab".

Sheen is the "real thing", but is regarded as a "low-brow bitch" by Haynes and others.

"This is also the reason why James hates Haynes but welcomes Sheen. He thinks Sheen is also a 'buried real thing'."

The following idea emerged in Sheen's mind:

"No wonder James is so interested in me - we share the same pain."

but,

Off topic,

Sheen was present at the scene and felt that the Duke handled everything with ease, which showed his strong aura:

The Duke of Impes was able to seize the initiative of the story with just a few words, and even other family members remained silent when he spoke.

As you can imagine, the Duke has achieved "In Imperius's territory, the Duke's word is law":

Others were so awed that they did not interrupt the Duke's speech easily!

"Unlike the Haines family—Atoll could only stop the lady from speaking, but he couldn't stop her from verbally mocking Sheen."

This is the aura that a duke should have...

Sheen felt that the gap between the two dukes was widening.

...

The time is almost up, and the Duke cannot delay the special actors' meal time - it would be better to make up for the little joke he played on Sheen as soon as possible.

James lowered his head slightly and gently took off his glasses.

Those who are in the know will understand that this is the start of a meal.

(Finally I can eat)

James squinted and smiled, this time his smile was much gentler than the last one:

"Okay, okay. We've been chatting for so long, I think you guys must be hungry~"

Everyone nodded gently.

But no one broke the silence with a groan.

The Duke waved his right hand towards everyone, signaling the maids to serve tea:

"Let's eat."

Sheen breathed a sigh of relief: I am finally liberated.
