Chapter 263: Aprodisiac...!
By the time Kent came back, Fatty sat alone in the corner of the front seats. Ignoring the guests, Fatty had already begun eating the deserts specially made for the occasion. Usually, the food will be served after the ceremony is completed. But Fatty, who didn't like this wedding in the first place, completely focused on filling his stomach.
Meanwhile, the two ladies mingled with the group of friends, discussing the beautiful decorations and things other women wore to the party.
Kent silently reached Fatty and sat beside him. The ceremony continued on the stage, where only Spurgeon stood before the ceremonial fire. The priest continued to chant mantras. Almost everyone is waiting for the arrival of the bride.
"Where did you go, master?" Fatty asked in a muffled tone as his mouth filled with sweets.
"I went to see the decorations. Did I miss anything?" Kent asked in a calm tone.
"You did a good thing, master. I'm really bored to see the dumb face of my cousin." Fatty replied in a dissatisfied tone as he looked at Spurgeon, who was adding incense powder to the ritual fire.
"By the way, where is Lana? Isn't it too late already?" Kent asked casually while leaning back on the chair.
"The bride usually comes late. Maybe she is taking more time for decorations." Fatty replied before picking up the wine glass.
Just as Fatty finished speaking, a beautifully decorated golden palanquin entered the Holy Plaza, capturing the attention of everyone present. Four bulky servants, clad in ritual clothes, carried the palanquin with a steady, practiced grace.
The palanquin, covered on all sides, held Lady Lana within, adorned in her royal bride attire. As it made its way towards the ritual ground, the crowd hurriedly gathered on both sides of the path, eager to witness the proceedings. Whispers of awe and admiration filled the air, anticipation growing with each step.
When the palanquin reached the ritual ground, the four servants kneeled down, balancing the palanquin with the utmost care. The crowd held its breath as Lady Lana stepped out, a shy smile gracing her lips. She shimmered in her long white robes, appearing like an angel in a flowing, ethereal dress.
Gasps of admiration rippled through the crowd. "She looks like a goddess," someone whispered.
"Master, where are you going?" Fatty called out in a loud tone. But Kent had already vanished into the crowd.
Larry, who was observing Kent from a long distance while hiding among the servants, felt perplexed by the sudden movement of Kent.
"How did he find out?" Larry muttered in a shocked tone. With Kent's reaction, Larry understood that Kent had already found out about the aphrodisiac. But he did not understand how Kent found out in such a short time.
"Damn... I spent a fortune on this. How could it fail?" Larry gritted his teeth.
On the other side, Kent already began feeling the effects of aphrodisiac. His face was slowly turning red, and sweat began pouring all over his body.
Even though his body can resist poison with the help of phoenix blood, the aphrodisiac is not a poison. Larry thought Kent would behave like a lustful animal in front of all the guests and anger the two big families in the city. But he never expected Kent to find out with a single gulp and distance from the crowd.
Larry, who is searching the crowd to find Kent, didn't notice the fierce eyes looking at him from behind. Suddenly, Kent appeared behind Larry and put his arm over his shoulder. Using his aura, Kent suppressed Larry and dragged him away from the crowd without alerting anyone.
"Phat..."
A loud slap fell on Larry's cheeks as Kent lifted him against the wall and slapped him with his other hand. Larry almost peed in his pants as his body began shaking like a vibrator.
"Phat"
Another slap fell before Larry could realise what was happening.
"Tell me the name of the aphrodisiac." Kent asked with a murderous look.
