The Return of the God Level Assassin [BL]
Chapter 790 Chaotic Dinner

Really, was there a need to have such a reaction? Its like everyone here was silently shouting, yes, we have something to do with the fire 20 years ago. And Luo Yan shouldnt forget that his four team mates should be one of the people here.

Surprisingly enough, he couldnt tell whos who. Meaning the four were doing an exceptionally good job acting out their roles. Thats good. Now he wouldnt have to worry that they would be found out to be fakes. The problem was, it would also be hard for him to recognize them.

It was important for him to know whos who. That way, he could actually eliminate the guilty from the innocent. Aside from that, if somehow a killing spree started, he would also know whether his team mates had been killed or not. Then, could immediately give up this dungeon. Theres no way he would continue on doing the task when he knew that it was already a fail anyway.

Edwards voice took Luo Yan back to the current situation. Father, I think you misspoke. Shouldnt you use the word widow instead of wife?

Edward, youre already this old and yet youre still an uptight twat, William said in that hoarse voice. What does it matter what I call her? It wouldnt change the fact that shes your brothers wife.

Charles let out a bark of laughter. A twat, what a fitting description. Old man, youre becoming very good with your words.

Edwards face turned red in humiliation. Sofia quickly comforted the other. Which seemed to be very effective since the other quickly calmed down. Harry only snorted at this.

William ignored his youngest son. And then just right after, the door to the drawing room opened again and the butler, Gilmore, announced;

Dinner is served!

And with that, the people in the drawing room queued towards the dining room.

The dinner had been slightly peaceful for the most part. The start was a bit chaotic. Edward didnt like that Sorcha was seated on the other head of the table, opposite his father. Probably because that position belonged to the second person with the most authority in the family. Of course, he would grumble.

Then, there was the issue of the food. They were all Irish dishes. Which, apparently, the Harcourt siblings didnt like. But William prepared such dishes especially for Sorcha. According to him, he had an excellent Irish cook. So, they had to enjoy the food because it would be a great insult to his cook if they didnt.

Some people took this as an insult, especially Edward. He might have thought that his father was secretly implying that they were no better than a mere cook in his eyes.

Frankly, Luo Yan didnt care much. Because the food was indeed great. Of course, he didnt forget to observe the people as he enjoyed the food.

The women, except for Sorcha, barely ate. Edward and George pretended to eat. And Charles didnt pretend at all, he simply forego the food for the wine. The solicitor, Arthur, ate normally but one couldnt really see if he liked the food because of the serious expression on his old face. The only ones who probably enjoyed the food were the doctor, Peter, and surprisingly, the young man, Harry. Which showed that this young man was not as rude as he seemed to be.

Luo Yan glanced at Sorcha. The other had already removed the veil covering her face. She was a very handsome woman with auburn hair and a pair of brown eyes. She was quiet, barely spoken anything since she arrived.

He actually thought at first that the other wouldnt remove the veil covering her face, thinking that there might be a conspiracy regarding the others identity. For example, shes not really the real Sorcha Harcourt but just someone impersonating her. But the moment she removed her veil, there wasnt really any violent reactions amongst the crowds. Meaning shes the real Sorcha.

They just finished the main course when William Harcourt clinked his wine glass with a fork. Before we finish this dinner, I would like to make an announcement.

Everyones attention turned to the other.

I plan to revise my will thats why I called you lot here. In my former will, once I died, all my properties and wealth will be divided equally to my still living children. But in this new will, I will leave everything to Sorcha.

As expected, everyone, and by everyone Luo Yan meant the people related to William, had a violent reaction.

You cant do that, Father! Edward exclaimed, standing up abruptly, almost causing his chair to topple over. How could you leave us with nothing? Youd rather leave your properties to an unrelated woman rather than to your children?

Charles laughed again. Dont you already know the reason why? The old man hates us. Probably still blaming us for what happened to dear Richard.

F-Father, I- I know you dislike us immensely. I dont care much for the money. But, please, think of Daphne and Harry as well. Theyre your grandchildren. Surely, you wouldnt leave them destitute! Catherine said, probably the longest she had since this evening.

George reached for his wifes hand. Calm down, Cathy. Im sure Father is not being serious.

William snorted. Father? I believed I never gave a parasite like you the right to call me that.

Georges whole face turned red, whether from anger or humiliation, Luo Yan honestly couldnt tell. Maybe its both.

Youre all old enough to work and yet you still rely on this old man to give you money. How shameless and useless can you all be? Because of Williams hoarse voice, what he said sounded even harsher. I will sign my new will tomorrow and theres nothing all of you can do.

Luo Yans only thought then was is this old man trying to get himself killed?.
