I, Folyago, am the most devoted lover in Runeterra.

He thoroughly enjoyed the scene, as it was the perfect pastime for him.

"Sorry, it looks like I'm a little late."

Just then, a male voice suddenly came from afar, attracting everyone's attention.

Chapter 173, Fundraising, Dinner, Recreation

Everyone turned their gaze to one side, and a handsome young man appeared at the end of their line of sight.

Compared to the handsome man with a somewhat effeminate air from before, the young man who appeared now had a completely different style.

The ordinary black suit, when worn by him, exuded an indescribable air of nobility.

His handsome face and upright posture caught the eye of many noble ladies attending the banquet.

They all whispered to their companions about the background of the young man in front of them.

But the answers received were mostly that they knew nothing.

When the heir of Zoffies saw the newcomer, a glint of shrewdness flashed in his eyes.

"Ha ha ha ha!!!"

"Li Ang, my friend!"

"You've finally arrived! I've been waiting for you for so long."

Zofis strode towards the young man, his attitude extremely friendly and enthusiastic.

Upon seeing this, a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the nobles.

It's unclear who that young man is, given his close relationship with the heir of the Zoffis family.

The man affectionately took the young man's hand, and the two walked side by side. Their equally handsome faces, each with their own unique charm, once again caused a wave of infatuation among the noble ladies below.

After the two reached the main seat, the effeminate man slowly spoke.

"I, Vladimir Zoffis, am here to introduce myself to you."

"This is my dearest friend."

"General Leon Gurez, who has a distinguished military record."

"I'm sure everyone is familiar with it."

Vladimir smiled and addressed everyone in front of him.

As Vladimir finished speaking, a commotion quickly broke out in the room.

Leon Gures's name had already spread throughout the upper echelons of the empire by this time.

However, most people do not have the opportunity to see the "true face of Mount Lu".

Today marks the first time this newly rich empire has made a public appearance.

Unexpectedly, it was because of attending the Zoffis family's inheritance banquet.

Immediately, countless noble girls fixed their gazes on Foygo, secretly plotting how to strike up a conversation later.

Meanwhile, the other unsuspecting nobles were secretly wondering when the two sides had suddenly made contact.

Leon Gures now commands the Empire's eastern front, which means he has numerous opportunities for promotion.

Many nobles hoped to establish a connection with Leon Gures, hoping to secure a chance for their sons to achieve success and fame.

Leon Guerrez's sudden appearance presents a golden opportunity for these individuals.

........

Fojego and Vladimir exchanged a glance, each noticing a hint of a smile in the other's eyes.

He was there because he was invited by Vladimir to attend his "comeback dinner".

"Oh, my dear nephew, why not join us for this rare pastime?"

The so-called "millennial nobleman" Zophis was nothing more than a plaything in Vladimir's hands.

Vladimir intends to use Zofis's identity to regain influence in the upper echelons of the empire.

To quote Vladimir in his own words, that's roughly it.

Since he didn't have anything urgent to do at the moment, Fóyego didn't mind taking this opportunity to further develop his relationship with Vladimir.

So they gave Vladimir face and came directly.

Let's leave aside the dirty secrets they had behind the scenes.

At this moment, this move undoubtedly exposed the cooperative relationship between the two to the imperial stage.

This means that their public identities in the empire will be closely linked in the future.

This adds another layer of security to their collaboration.

"Vladimir, my dearest friend."

"I offer you my sincerest wishes."

"Under your leadership, the Zoffis family will surely reach new heights."

Foygo said with a smile, but there seemed to be a different meaning in his eyes.

"Hahaha!!!"

"Each each other."

Vladimir laughed loudly, then waved to the waiter beside him.

Soon, a waiter came quickly carrying two cups filled with deep red wine.

After taking one cup for himself, Vladimir handed another cup to Foyego, who was standing next to him.

"Now, let us work for the future of the empire."

"Drink this cup together!"

Vladimir raised his glass high and spoke in a loud voice.

"To the Empire!"

After the nobles below recited the toast in unison, they drank the wine in their hands together.

Vladimir looked down at the crowd below, his eyes like those of a group of puppets being manipulated.

Only when he looked at Foygo beside him did his eyes take on a deeper meaning.

..........

The ceremony soon began in full swing, under the watchful eyes of nobles of all ranks throughout the empire.

An elderly gentleman with slightly graying hair handed Vladimir a token symbolizing his position as head of the Zoffies family.

This old gentleman was, of course, the previous head of the Zoffies family.

This also officially signifies the handover of power to this "young descendant".

What no one noticed was that the old gentleman's gaze toward the "young descendant" carried a hint of reverence and awe.

As the dust settled, amidst cheers from the crowd, the reception officially entered its core phase.

The melodious music started again, and the nobles took their favorite dance partners and stepped into the center of the castle to begin dancing gracefully.

Tonight, the focus on the dance floor is undoubtedly on the young master of Zoffies.

In addition, there was that newly rich and powerful empire official with a distinguished military record.

Countless delicate noblewomen surrounded Fóyego and Vladimir, vying for a chance to dance together.

The girls' enthusiasm was clearly both expected and unexpected for Fóyègo.

As expected of Noxus, a country with an extremely open culture, these noble girls had absolutely no concept of "restraint".

Even Fryegor was finding it difficult to cope for a while. (Good)

On the other hand, Vladimir not only seemed quite at ease, but even appeared to be "enjoying" the situation.

It's obviously an LSP (Lifestyle of Discretionary Paralysis).

At that moment, Foygo quickly broke free of the encirclement, then casually made up an excuse and gracefully left the table.

........

As time passed, the bright moonlight shone down on the earth.

From a terrace in the castle, Fóyego looked down at the men and women embracing and dancing below.

If the dance gets lively, you can see couples embracing each other and walking away.

Their purpose is self-evident.

Foygo sighed inwardly; indeed, this kind of atmosphere was not suitable for him.

Why not go back and spend some time with your beautiful rose?

Just as Fouguereau was about to leave without saying goodbye, he suddenly stopped.

Because an extremely charming young woman was slowly approaching this terrace.
