Chapter 597: Noble Jabs
She raised her hand to slap Nora. However, Ramon saw this, and immediately stepped forward obstructing Iris’s view.

And then in a fluid motion, obviously by the expertise of his martial arts, he caught Iris’s hand in the air, and then he kissed the back of it as he took a bow, “Lady Iris of the Temperance family. Its good to see you, always as elegant and mannered as famed by your family name.”

And as he gave the bow, his eyes looked into her own as if to give a particular threat. this threat was not interpreted as personal might but from the might of the family backing him.

It made Iris frown. After all, amongst this generation of family geniuses, she was considered number two, but on the power scale, she was number one. This was because she was a high Silver ranked cultivator.

She understood the threat, a warning not to make further problems.

However, the look she had in her eyes showed her obvious disgust at Nora’s presence, making the already timid girl, hide even further behind Eunid.

Eunid turned to Iris, a noble’s practiced smile on his face, “Lady iris,” he gave a gentleman bow, “its always a pleasure to see you.”

But she replied coldly, “It never is for me.” And then her eyes darted back to Nora, “I see that the slave ended up becoming as useful as its worth, tell me, does she warm your bed properly at night, or should I send more to your estate—” she took a short well measured stroll as if she was trying to figure out more of Nora’s worth as she went around the girl.

her words were like the sting of a viper, but Eunid was well practiced. Besides, while iris’s talent laid in cultivation, his was in his intelligence and the practical application of it.

And right now, it was obvious that she was making efforts at pissing him off.

“Of course, she warms it well, or are you bitter that you lost such a warm feeling, one capable of even giving her life, all for a measely five thousand fate gold coins. Considering the kind of cold the temperance family suffers from—you suffer from, empty of even a mother’s warmth? I am sure the lose was greater on you.”

His words made everyone pause, and even a waiter passing by distributing drinks heard the jabs he threw and stumbled slightly.

Ramon whistled loudly and Asura gave an interesting look at the two of them. after all, it was a known fact that Eunid was almost most polite. No matter the situation, he was not one to lose his cool. It was almost a kind of pure innocence regardless of the flirt of the world.

One of the many attributes that made his presence warm and always acceptable.

However, it was obvious that in trying to pick on Nora, Iris had touched a soft spot, and Eunid although still maintaining a polite smile, had thrown back an insult also slapping on a soft spot.

Arlen, twin brother to Ramon whispered into his brother’s ears, “Oh, how I wish I had brought some popcorn from home. Such Drama is rare to come by,” he chuckled lightly, and Ramon nodded in agreement.

Iris felt one of her eyes twitch. She could feel the eyes on her back. she knew she had to have a good come back.

“I don’t need a SLAVE to warm my bed. I am too busy working hard to increase my cultivation—” She placed a finger on her lips, “—Oh wait, are you not a member of the Diligence Family? Is being diligent in cultivation not supposed to be your role? Ahhh yes, it is. But the only thing you are diligent at is mounting tramps from the gutter.”

“OH!!!” A crowd was starting to gather. Drama at such occasions were quite common. However, the adults kept they’s to a low. While the youngsters were much brazen.

However, while most of the time, it could be very uninteresting, this was a show down amongst the Generation of Geniuses. Even if these people were to shit, that shit would be found interesting.

At this point, Ramon had already requested that a Waiter hurried with some popcorn his way.

Meanwhile, at another corner, guests like Alfred, Eunid’s uncle, watched the exchange with kin interest.

“That’s interesting. I spend all my time on gutter tramps, but still managed to beat you at the last Generation of Genius’s competition. Meaning that even When I do not try, My diligence on ‘mounting Tramps from the gutter’ as you so generously put it, still managed to beat the heiress of the Temperance family—hmmm” Eunid took a step forward, as if to match her form and his eyes locked in on hers, “is that not a slap to your face?”

The Generation of geniuses competition was held once in a twenty years, and therefore was considered to be very very important. In the last one, regardless of not being the strongest, Eunid had somehow placed as the first, while Iris who was miles away from him in strength had gotten second place.

This had always been a thorn in her flesh. To know that she had come second, not to one of power, but to Eunid who had come from the Weakest of the Virtues family. And he too was lacking in cultivation.

Although not so strong, Eunid made up for his lack in fighting power with his incredible intelligence.

Eunid’s words was the stray that broke the camel’s back. Iris body immediately glowed with a silver light and she was obviously about to strike him, but a voice suddenly broke the tension, grabbing her tensed fist, “LADY IRIS!”

Iris paused and turned to the person. He had a smile on his face, “its time to send over the gifts we brought.”

Everyone turned to this person. From the spiritual energy flowing from his body, he was actually weak. No, he was very weak. After all, he was only at the early stages of the Copper rank, but he commanded incredible attention. What’s more, he was able to actually stop Iris, known for being very quick to act from throwing a punch.

While everyone looked at him wondering who he was, Nora instantly recognized him. After all, he too was from Below the Veil. In fact, he had been a member of the sword clans. This was…
