Chapter 1624 1619: The Oath of Allegiance Procedure
Su Chen looked at himself in the mirror, feeling a sense of unreality, was this the legendary photo?This face would even put those young idols and online celebrities to shame, wouldn't it?
Not to mention, they not only use makeup but also filters, beauty enhancements, and camera tricks.
Yet, with just a touch of makeup by Dilasi, this effect was achieved, far exceeding those enhancements.
That face would not only be considered handsome and charming by Eastern people, but even Westerners would think the same, a true handsome man, isn't it?
But the problem was, though this face was handsome, it wasn't effeminate.
Instead, it had a sense of dominance.
Dilasi completely tailored the makeup according to Su Chen's characteristics.
Along with the outfit cut and crafted by Dilasi for Su Chen, it balanced nobility and dominance perfectly!
"Perfect!" Colin's eyes lit up equally at Su Chen's appearance.
Of course, he saw more than just 'handsomeness'; he saw Su Chen's temperament.
Su Chen was to take on the role of Guest Elder for the Nopheler Family, and if he couldn't exude an overpowering presence, it would certainly cause a lot of gossip.
Now, after Dilasi's makeover, Su Chen would definitely give off an impression of 'extraordinary' the moment he entered.
Colin shot an approving glance at Dilasi, who he didn't expect had such skills despite his flamboyant demeanor.
Dilasi was also very satisfied with Su Chen's appearance.
He felt this could definitely be considered his masterpiece, showcasing Su Chen's aura to its fullest.
Even if Su Chen didn't unleash the Saint's power.
He would still give off a sense of majestic dominance, perhaps even cultivators would sense a tiger-like aura from Su Chen.
"Dilasi, change it a bit, it's... a little too exquisite..."
Even with Su Chen's thick skin, he couldn't bring himself to say 'handsome'.
How could a single word 'handsome' encompass this?
This was simply too handsome!
Su Chen thought it was a bit over the top, although he was already somewhat handsome, no, very handsome, didn't he? But this was just too flamboyant!
Colin was very satisfied with Su Chen's current look, so he looked at the time deliberately and said to Su Chen, "Mr. Su, we might be running out of time. Why not use this makeup? I think this gentleman has also done his best."
Dilasi felt this was already the most perfect, unsure if he could replicate this effect or a better one, so he urged, "Yes, yes, why not head to the banquet now? Being late would be too impolite."
Su Chen: "..."
Do you think I'm a fool? Didn't you say it starts at eight? It's just a little past six now, and can the road be blocked for one or two hours?
The Nopheler Family surely wouldn't allow this to happen.
They had been informed at the very beginning of the banquet.
The routes from the Clarice Hotel to the Nopheler Family Castle were sealed off under the pretext of road repairs...
So there was no possibility of a traffic jam along the way.
However, as the protagonist of this banquet, Su Chen naturally shouldn't appear too early.
Thus, after selecting the outfit and makeup, Su Chen had a very brief 'tutorial' session, which covered the etiquette of the Bloodline.
After all, the Bloodline members attending the banquet were the focal point, while the others were merely supporting roles.
Su Chen was quite impatient after learning a bit.
What's this nonsense?
Do I need to kneel to the Nopheler Family head and swear allegiance?
Why wasn't this mentioned before?
Upon hearing this requirement, Su Chen immediately exploded, refusing to go along with it.
Colin was also frustrated, as he thought Liz had already explained everything to Su Chen.
But it seemed Liz hadn't revealed these details to Su Chen.
So he had to painstakingly explain to Su Chen, "Mr. Su, this is just a formality, the dignity of the Nopheler Family..."
"Bastard, the dignity of the Nopheler Family? What about my dignity? Do you believe I could tear the Nopheler Family apart today?" Su Chen sneered.
A joke, how dare the trivial Nopheler Family threaten him?
They were merely defeated opponents!
Although the Bloodline was once powerful, it had weakened overall. Maybe there were still strong entities slumbering within the Nopheler Family, but Su Chen was not intimidated at all.
So what if a Blood Prince awoke?
If worse comes to worst, I'll just run; you can't possibly catch me.
The Nopheler Family's attempt to make him submit was sheer wishful thinking!
Colin had nothing to say at this point; it was truly a tough task.
Su Chen was undoubtedly strong.
The Nopheler Family had already tested him with a costly price, and the results were catastrophic.
Yet now, Su Chen was upset again!
Colin tried persuading him kindly, but it didn't have much effect.
The Nopheler Family was indeed sincere; they offered an ancient weapon of decent grade, a gesture of sincerity to entice Su Chen.
But it turned out that Su Chen wasn't playing by their rules, even though the Nopheler Family had offered extremely generous terms.
Still, they weren't enough to make Su Chen yield.
"...Mr. Su, how about this, allow me to contact the family first, and try to provide a satisfactory answer for both of us," Colin could finally no longer withstand the pressure.
Su Chen snorted coldly, remaining silent.
The conditions offered by the Nopheler Family were indeed impeccable; they agreed not only to give him an ancient weapon but also to send four Bloodline Marquises to help him rescue someone.
However, he hadn't anticipated such a procedure at the banquet ceremony.
Kneeling to Harlow Nopheler, the patriarch of the Nopheler Family, to pledge loyalty.
This process was quite standard among the Bloodline.
Joining a family meant swearing allegiance to the family head, a given.
And they had previously informed Liz to tell Su Chen.
But Liz had messed up.
She not only concealed the strength of the werewolves in 'Moriland Castle' but also the banquet details that Harlow Nopheler and others wanted Su Chen to know.
This had incited Su Chen's rage.
When Colin relayed the message to Harlow and Duke Karloki, they were both shocked and angry.
The banquet was less than two hours away, and if they couldn't calm Su Chen down, it would become the greatest scandal in Nopheler Family history!
"Damn it, get Liz here, get her here now!" Harlow roared.
Nopheler Family servant: "Master, Miss is not in the castle..."
"Harlow, this must be resolved quickly, I don't want the Nopheler Family's banquet to become a joke!" Duke Karloki said coldly, his powerful presence pressing down on Harlow.
Harlow was sweating; he said, "Your Grace, if he doesn't compromise, this will surely become a great scandal for the Nopheler Family, failing to pledge allegiance to the family is unprecedented in Bloodline history..."
