Summon of The Sword novel Chapter 2279

However, there were so many people present, and each of them was of noble class. Even if he was the heir of the Lake family, he could not give the middle-aged man a hard time. He could only nod and let him leave.

Seeing Curtis nod, the middle-aged man got up and left without hesitation.

"Mr. Lake! I suddenly remembered that the gas at my home seemed to be left on. I must hurry back and check it out!"

"Ah! Yes! I f*cking forgot to pick my daughter up from school! I've got to get my daughter! Mr. Lake, I gotta go first!"

"Gosh, you all made up excuses pretty quickly! I just got a f*cking call from my friend that my wife is cheating on me. I have to catch her!"

With the middle-aged man taking the lead, more and more people left in a hurry after giving various stranger and stranger reasons.

Curtis' expression turned ghastly, understanding what these people were thinking.

"Alright, all the guests are pretty much gone. Winnie, it's time for us to go too."

Titus said with a chuckle.
