Chapter 47
If it was not to meet Master Hempton, being the proud man that he was, Harry would have left.
It was then that Solomon came over and reluctantly stated, “Harry, you and your family are coming with me into the inner hall.”
“What?” Harry was astonished. He asked incredulously, “We can go. in?”
“Yeah. Are you all coming in or not?” Solomon asked in displeasure.
Right before Harry could say a word, Andrius said, “No.”
Harry’s excitement was extinguished immediately. “Andrius, are you out of your mind?”
Luna growled at him as well, “Andrius. Shut up! This is no place for you to speak!”
Andrius ignored the father and daughter and looked at Solomon. “Mr. Stormbrew, did you forget what I say just now? I said once I sat down, you won’t be able to invite me in easily.”
“Suit yourself. We are going in!” Harry said.
Not everyone was qualified to enter the inner hall and sit at either of the three main tables. One must be influential and well-recognized in Sumeria because going inside would mean that they could approach Master Hempton.
Harry would never miss the chance for the world.
Solomon, however, got nervous when Andrius refused to enter.
Master Hempton had said everyone in the Crestfalls must go in, or else he would leave Sumeria immediately. If that happened, Solomon would be the one who ruined the guild’s future.
With that, Solomon immediately insisted, “No! Master Hempton said everyone in the Crestfalls must go in.”
“Andrius, what are you doing?” Harry asked nervously.
“Andrius, come in! Now!”
Luna tried to drag Andrius in, but he did not even budge from his. chair. He continued to sip on his tea.
“Mr. Solomon, if you want me to go in, you will have to apologize to the Crestfalls.”
“You…” Solomon’s face was flushed with anger and his teeth
chattered.
However, taking consideration of the big picture, he reluctantly apologized, “I am sorry…”
“I can’t hear your sincerity.”
Solomon shook with anger. There was a crowd around them, and Andrius’ request was undoubtedly offensive.
However, he managed to suppress his overflowing anger and bowed 90 degrees to Harry and Luna. “I am sorry for my impoliteness earlier.”
Both Harry and Luna felt smug when they saw Solomon apologizing to them. Their harsh attitude toward Andrius immediately softened. Andrius was not as useless as they thought.
“Mr. Crestfall, Master Hempton is waiting. Please go in.” Solomon forced a smile on his face to conceal the anger in his heart. He would never forget this insult.
Harry and Luna did not care about Solomon’s grudge. All they wanted to do was meet Master Hempton.
“Andrius, come on.”
“Alright.” Andrius followed the father and daughter into the inner hall.
Alfred was staring at the inner hall entrance eagerly, hoping to see Andrius in the crowd.
“What is taking them so long?” Alfred muttered.
After that, Solomon came in and said, “Master Hempton, sorry to make you wait. The Crestfalls’ son-in-law is a little bit reluctant. That’s why it took some time.”
Harry heard Solomon’s comment and assumed that Master Hempton would be unhappy with them because of Andrius’ arrogant behavior. He went up to the man and apologized, “Master Hempton, my son-in- law is a little problematic. Please forgive his impudence.”
Alfred did not even look at the two of them. He was captivated when he saw Andrius, and eagerness was apparent on his face.
He finally saw his savior again. Without Andrius, he would have died a few days ago.
With that, Alfred went up to Andrius with open arms.
