Chapter 40 Banquet
During the next two days, Osborne diligently worked on improving his skills.
Isa’s single kick that incapacitated Milo left him greatly shaken.
However, Osborne believed that with The Breath of Celestial, he wouldn’t need much time to reach Isa.
Simultaneously, Osborne didn’t neglect to practice his marksmanship.
With Satan’s Eye, his shooting accuracy was good, but he lacked in other crucial areas like speed, target anticipation, and shooting while on the move.
These were vital in intense gunfights.
Osborne understood that marksmanship was honed through bullet expenditure.
When he purchased the Draco Model H mini–handgun, he also bought hundreds of magazines and tens of thousands of bullets solely for marksmanship practice.
During the day, he diligently practiced marksmanship, combining it with agility and keen eyesight to simulate real combat scenarios.

At night, he focused on perfecting The Breath of Celestial.
As his physical abilities grew stronger and with the aid of Satan’s Eye, his marksmanship rapidly improved.
With the consumption of a large number of bullets, his marksmanship became increasingly terrifying.
Finally, the day arrived for Osborne to attend the banquet at the Radcliffe Manor.
He called Ophelia, requesting her to drive and pick him up.
As per
er their agreement, he could bring two people to the banquet, and he had already sold these two spots to Ophelia and Wesley for 40 million dollars.
Despite his dislike for them, he had no intention of reneging after accepting the money.
Keeping promises was his basic principle.
Soon, Ophelia and Wesley arrived in a grand fashion with a
convoy.
Ophelia rolled down the car window, coldly stating, “Get in!”
Osborne smirked slightly, uninterested in sitting with the two of them. He casually boarded a bodyguard’s car and headed. towards the Radcliffe Manor.
The convoy left the city and arrived at a picturesque location on

the outskirts.
A tall wall enclosed an entire hill, within which lay the Radcliffe
Manor.
Osborne gaped at the huge luxurious estate, which dwarfed even the Caldwell family’s manor.
Wesley and Ophelia were equally awestruck.
After disembarking at the gate and undergoing identity confirmation, checks, and body searches to ensure they carried no weapons, the three were allowed into the estate.
They boarded a shuttle heading towards the mountaintop.
“I must become friends with Ms. Radcliffe. If I can establish a relationship with her, the Caldwell family will soar and become the top aristocratic family in Mayby City.”
Suddenly, on the shuttle, Ophelia turned sternly towards Osborne. “Osborne, I hope you don’t cause trouble!”
Wesley added, “I hope you don’t mess things up.”
Osborne glanced at them, coldly laughing, paying no heed to their comments.
Frowning, Ophelia noticed Osborne’s casual sportswear and remarked, “Osborne, you’re going to have lunch with Ms. Radcliffe dressed like this? Can’t you at least dress formally?”

Wesley sneered, saying, “A commoner is always a commoner, ignorant of etiquette! Such an important event, yet dressed so casually. Be careful not to anger Ms. Radcliffe and get thrown
out.”
Unable to hold back any longer, Osborne retorted, “Mind your own business! You came here like dogs begging for scraps, yet have the audacity to be arrogant in front of me?”
“You son of a…” Wesley snapped, but the shuttle driver interrupted, silencing them.
“We’re here!”
They had arrived at the mountaintop, where an elegant pavilion
awaited.
A waitress–like woman approached the three of them, smiling, “Three guests, please follow me, Ms. Radcliffe is already waiting for you.”
Soon, she led them to the elegant pavilion.
Osborne once again laid eyes on Clarissa.
Standing in the pavilion, Clarissa gazed towards Mayby City in the distance. Her profile was cool yet soft, her figure perfect and charming.
Several black–clad bodyguards loyally stood guard by her side.
For some reason, seeing Clarissa again made Osborne’s heart

race.
“Ms. Radcliffe, the guests have arrived.”
Clarissa finally turned around, offering a slight smile towards Osborne and his companions.
“You’ve arrived.”
This was the first time Osborne heard Clarissa’s voice, which sounded as melodious as a nightingale. It was not indifferent but with a sense of distance, gentle yet tinged with pride.
“Please, have a seat.”
Clarissa gestured for the three of them to sit down. Without much thought, Osborne casually pulled out a chair and took a NôvelDrama.Org © content.
seat.
Ophelia and Wesley, however, seemed incredibly nervous at this moment, slightly bowing towards Clarissa with a demeanor as if they wouldn’t dare sit until Clarissa did.
Wesley even hurried over to pull out a chair for Clarissa, but unfortunately, her bodyguards intercepted him, not allowing him to get close to her.
Wesley felt somewhat embarrassed at this turn of events.
Fortunately, Clarissa said, “You are all my guests, I want to thank you for your generosity at the charity auction. Please, make yourselves comfortable.”

With a smile, Clarissa took her seat.
She sat right next to Osborne.
Wesley’s face visibly darkened at this sight.
