Cadfan had never tried to flatter anyone ever since he was young, and he had been admired by everyone ever since his middle age.
However, who would have expected that after living arrogantly his whole life, in his later years, he would actually have to flatter and grovel to a young man in his twenties.
This feeling hurt his pride and self-esteem, but Cadfan had to continue keeping up with this flattery because he desperately needed Porter to help him resolve the series of problems that he had in front of him. 2
So, after drinking and emptying their glasses for three rounds, Cadfan then took the initiative to lift his wine glass again as he smiled and said, "Here, Porter. I'll give you another toast. This glass of wine is to wish you victory on Mount Wintry on the day of the Tomb Sweeping Festival! I hope that you will be able to avenge your parents' death completely!” 3
Porter played with the wine glass in his hand before h e said seriously, "Grandpa Schulz, it's not Mount Wintry. It's Mount Waldron! After the Tomb Sweeping Festival, the entire Mount Waldron will be the cemetery where my parents are laid to rest. I will appoint a hundred elites from Ten Thousand Armies t
o seal up the whole mountain, and I will not allow any idle people to disturb their peace in the future!"
Cadfan blurted out immediately, "Yes, that's right! Mount Waldron! I'll personally pay my respects to your parents up on Mount Waldron when your parents' graves have already been moved onto Mount Waldron!"
Porter nodded in satisfaction and said, "It would be best if you could go."
As he spoke, he then said emotionally, "In truth, my father told my mother more than once back then that he always felt a lot of pressure every time he saw you."
"Is that so?" Cadfan was extremely surprised, and he asked, "Why would Leonardo be stressed out when he sees me?"
Porter glanced at Cadfan before he said in a somewhat unpleasant and dissatisfied tone, "Because he felt that you had always looked down on him! In your eyes, he was nothing more than Uncle Schulz's rogue friend, and he was that kind of rogue friend who could never support him but only bring him down. So, my father would always have the similar feeling of being disliked and despised by other people's parents whenever a poor student played with a superior student."
Cadfan laughed awkwardly twice before he hurriedly explained, "I think that Leonardo must have had some misunderstanding about me. I am not the kind of person who would always be smiling back then, and I have always been a little serious and solemn toward everyone. I also used to pull a long face in front of Sheldon, and I rarely smiled at him either. So, I definitely did not mean to look down on Leonardo!" 3
Porter was slightly surprised as he looked at Cadfan and said seriously, "Still, after getting in contact with you today, I do not feel that you are the kind of person who rarely smiles, nor do I feel that you are the kind of person who would always be very serious toward everyone. Is it because I now possess the strength that my father never had back then?" 3
