Denise dragged Charlus to meet a middle-aged man who stood straight. Charlus observed him.

[Richard Jones (Business Man) Tier 1 Lvl 72]

"Dad! I was looking for you!"

Denise rushed forward and tightly hugged her father. Richard returned the hug. He then turned his gaze towards Charlus. He narrowed his eyes and glared at him.

Charlus felt a slight pressure on himself but shook it off very easily. It was only from a person who was 1 tier less than him.. Charlus was barely affected. Charlus greeted Richard.

"Charlus, sir. I am Denise's friend. I am accompanying her to today's Gala. Nice to meet you." Charlus shook Richard's hand. Richard narrowed his gaze even more.

Denise sighed ad whispered in Charlus' year. "You're supposed to introduce yourself with your last name too."

Charlus apologized. "Oh sorry. Charlus Black." 

Charlus raised his hand to Richard again but Richard did not take it.

"Tell me, what is the name of your father?" Richard asked Charlus.

"Abraham Black. Why?" Charlus asked Richard. Richard shook his head.

"Your face felt very similar so I thought I knew your father. No worries. I am Richard Jones. You met my daughter. She is Denise Jones." Richard smiled at Charlus. 

"She is a very sweet person. She is a very good friend." Charlus smiled in return. He was afraid that the man would be uptight but he was very carefree.

"Why don't you take Charlus around and introduce him to your friends, Denise?" Richard pushed his daughter along with Charlus. He then looked at the edge. Charlus followed his gaze to a person in the dark.

Charlus looked away instantly. He felt fear in his body. How powerful was this new person that Charlus couldn't even inspect him? Charlus felt weak all of a sudden. While he was thinking this, Denise dragged him.

Charlus saw himself surrounded by twenty-year-olds. Charlus sighed. He was probably the youngest person there. Charlus greeted the 6 people there.

"Hello. I am Charlus Black."

Everyone smiled. They introduced themselves.

"Tyler-Jay Decker."

"Erika Connolly."

"Cathy Jackson."

"Rimsha Rosas."

"Samad Short."

"Soren Mckee."

Everyone was amicable and Charlus talked to them for a while. They talked about relatable topics like hunting and politics until it got less relatable for Charlus.

"So what does your father do, Charlus?" Rimsha asked Charlus.

Charlus shook his head. "I don't know."

Charlus' answer stunned everyone including Denise.

"What do you mean by that?" Denise asked.

"I don't know. He lives in Europe with my mother. He sends me enough money to live by myself. Beyond that, we don't have a really special relationship so I don't ask him these kinds of questions."

Charlus looked away and saw a person approach them. Denise saw the person too and sighed. Charlus noticed the sigh and made a guess on who it was. So he protectively wrapped his hand around Denise's arm.

The person came closer and saw Denise clinging to a boy.

"Who is this, Denise?" He asked Denise.

"Charlus Black." Charlus introduced himself. He gave his hand for a handshake but the person ignored him.

"I wasn't talking to you." The man turned to Denise.

"How are you, Denise? Would you like to catch up on what happened since last we met?" The man asked Denise.

"Joshua, please maintain some decorum in front of my date." Denise created some distance between her and Joshua and Charlus decided to interfere.

"He's as clingy as you told me. So why can't you say no?" Charlus asked Denise. Denise whispered something in Charlus' ear. Meanwhile, everyone was seeing how both of them were completely ignoring Joshua.

Joshua became angry and grabbed Charlus' shirt and tried to tug him away from Denise but Charlus didn't budge from his spot. He looked away from Denise and stared into Joshua's eyes.

Joshua felt slightly fearful and jumped away. Charlus noticed some slight movement.

Charlus saw a few people pay more attention to what was happening near that area.

Charlus tried to observe their status but his level was too low again. Charlus was becoming irritated. How strong were these people? Why was he this weak compared to them?

"Wait! I recognize you. You fought in last week's Saturday Fight, right? You beat that cat fighter like it was nothing." Samad suddenly blurted out. Everyone suddenly looked at Charlus.

"You fight in the underground fights?" Cathy asked Charlus.

Charlus shook his head. "Oh no, that was a one-time thing. I was just doing that to look for someone I know. I found them, so I don't need to do it again." 

Meanwhile, Joshua kept some distance away from Charlus. He couldn't trouble Denise because her family was powerful. But Charlus, while having no backing, was too strong for him to fight. So he could only back away. 

Charlus yawned. The Gala itself was quite boring. Charlus regretted coming. He was sure that Denise could manage the guy herself. But since Charlus was already there, he had no choice but to play along.

Charlus spent the rest of the evening just listening to the young men and women talk and boast about their parent's company and accompany Denise throughout the event. 

Once the event was over Charlus sighed in relief.

"That was so FUCKING BORING!" Charlus screamed inside the limousine while he was going to the mansion along with Denise. Denise sighed.

"I warned you." 

"I thought the guy would be hard to deal with. But the Gala was just rich guys I don't know brag about their parent's achievements. I mean why didn't you talk about your acting?"

Denise brushed it away.

"You should rest."

"Yeah, I should. I have important things to do."  Charlus decided to forget the incident. He was, after all, crashing at Denise's place for like 3 days till now.
