The corners of Skyler's mouth twitched when Fane revealed the news. After all, Elaine was his disciple.
He slapped his thigh and irritatedly commented, "What the hell? Why didn't Elaine tell me this? That’s disrespectful; I'm her master!"
"What? Elaine is your disciple?” Fiona was beyond thrilled to have heard such a pleasant fact. When Ben would marry Elaine, would they be able to raise their family status with the master-disciple relationship between Elaine and Skyler? If anything happened, Skyler could not just ignore it, no?
Unfortunately, Elaine and Ben were not present at the table and were at their internet cafe instead. It would be good if they were here. Ben could share a drink or two with Skyler and improve their relationship.
"That's right! That girl should've mentioned it to me!" Skyler said happily. "Had you guys not told me about it, I probably would only find out on the day of their marriage!"
"Haha! Come, drink! Let's have a drink!" Fane laughed, picked up the red wine bottle in front of him, and poured wine for Skyler.
"Oh my, how can you pour wine for me?" Skyler was startled since it was the Supreme Master in front of him. He mindlessly blurted, "I should be pouring wine for you!”
Right as he spoke that, he realized he made a fatal mistake. Fane concealed his true identity and nobody at the table—including Selena—knew that he was the Supreme Warrior.
Skyler gave an embarrassed smile as he was met with odd looks sent his way, and h e sheepishly explained, "I mean, I can do this myself. Surely I can do this myself as I like to pour my own wine! You guys are being too generous. People who drink together are family, and there's no status difference between us! You guys shouldn't trouble yourselves, too!"
Fiona and the others finally realized what happened. What Skyler said was too shocking for them. Why did they have the feeling that Fane was much stronger than him, to the point that an eight-star King of War had to pour wine for Fane? What this old man said was too...
Fane was just as speechless about what happened. It was fine for Skyler to join them and have drinks, but why did he have to say something like that?
Fane smiled embarrassingly and offered," That won't work. Even if we don't consider your status as the King of War, I should consider you as my elder with your age. Shouldn't I be the one to fill your wine glass?"
Skyler immediately responded with a smile. "Oh, but of course! You're very humble, my boy! Come, let's drink together!"
"Of course! Come, let's drink!" Fiona and the others were elated. Joan, who seldom drank, also joined in the toast. After all, it was bad to not honor the eight-star King of War.
The last thing everyone expected was for Sharon to barge in at that very moment. "Is everything alright? Fane, are you okay?" Those who guarded the door knew that she was Fane's friend, so they let her and her bodyguards enter without informing the others.
Sharon instantly hurried toward Fane and ran her hands all over his body. "How are you feeling?” fretted Sharon. “Are you hurt?'
Fane was downright flustered; so many eyes were on him!
"Well, nothing happened," came Fane’s immediate answer. "Miss Sharon, I don't know what you’re talking about. Don't I look fine?"
Sharon instantaneously relaxed after Fane’s reply. "Really? Thank goodness you're alright. I was so scared when I heard my father say that you overturned the Kingston Hall, Green Sky Hall and the other powerful clans. I thought that you'd be hurt as you killed so many people on your own!" It was only then when she looked at Selena, who was by the side, and realized that she did too much. She smiled embarrassingly and blushed.
