[MHCISQD] Chapter 239: Party and Reunion

After half an hour of driving, the car arrived in front of the hotel at the destination.

As soon as they stopped, a hotel staff member approached and welcomed the two people into the hotel. From the introduction, it turned out to be the manager of this hotel.

Allowing Yaoyorozu to link her arm with his, Renault whispered, "Seems like your family has quite the reputation, they're even waiting for you at the entrance."

"Because I've been here before, and the hotel assisted with the arrangements for the tea party. They knew I would come, so they were waiting. I just don't know if we're the first ones to arrive," Yaoyorozu said, glancing at his expression. "Aren't you nervous?"

"What is there to be nervous about? Let me tell you, I'm the type of challenger who thrives in big events. The grander the occasion, the less nervous I am."

While the two people exchanged whispers, the hotel manager walking ahead couldn't hear them, but upon seeing the young lady from the Yaoyorozu Family bringing a man along so intimately, he knew that their relationship was not simple.

It seems that this afternoon's tea party might not end so smoothly.

Wiping the sweat gradually forming on his forehead, the hotel manager became somewhat flustered.

Entering the VIP elevator, the two people went directly to the 18th floor, arriving at a not-so-large hall.

"Seems like it's not a large-scale gathering?"

"There are only about 20 to 30 individuals in total. If we do the math, we should be among the youngest ones here," Yaoyorozu replied and then turned to Renault. "Is my attire fine? Even though I don't like these occasions, at the very least, I can't bring shame to my family, and I can't embarrass you either."

Renault listened and observed her with a smile. She was wearing a black dress that matched his own dark attire. Her black hair was left loose without being tied up. She had applied a light touch of makeup to her already flawless skin, without any need for exaggerated embellishments.

"Yeah, it looks perfect."

"That's good, let's go."

As soon as they entered the hall, all eyes turned towards the two people. Renault could clearly sense that all the men in the room wore expressions of surprise when they looked at him. Many of them even displayed obvious jealousy toward him.

Not only the men, but some of the women also seemed to harbor ill feelings towards Yaoyorozu. After glancing at her upon her arrival, they simply continued their own conversations.

Leaning close to Yaoyorozu's ear, Renault said, "It seems like you're not well-liked among the girls in your circle."

"Perhaps it's because I made decisions they wouldn't dare to make. In their eyes, Pro Heroes have no future. Authority is always the most important thing," Yaoyorozu calmly replied. Renault understood her response, as there indeed existed differences in perspectives between different social classes, and even within the same class, different individuals held different opinions.

However... Pro Heroes have no future? What a joke!

Renault could only think that these people were too shortsighted. In the face of true strength, how much use does so-called authority really have? For example, would someone as powerful as All For One care about the so-called social class?

Even the former No. 1, All Might, Renault knew that he never sought the favor of any prominent family and disregarded those people. Even if they were unhappy with All Might, they could do nothing about it. Even now, with All Might about to retire, they wouldn't dare to touch him.

Ordinary Pro Heroes may not have a future, but that doesn't include Top Heroes.

After two people entered the tea party venue, seeing that nobody came up to them immediately, they felt at ease and found an unoccupied sofa to sit down and enjoy tea and snacks.

"I didn't eat much for lunch, so I'm a little hungry."

Returning with a plate of snacks, Renault placed it on the coffee table. "Let's eat together. Some of them look pretty good."

"You seem more relaxed than I imagined."

"Since no one is causing trouble, I'll just pretend I came here to join the fun. And it's great that we have something to eat, isn't it?" Renault said while cutting a small piece of cheesecake and tasting it. "Hmm, it tastes alright, but not as delicious as when I make it."

"Really? You can make this too?" Yaoyorozu asked, somewhat incredulous.

"Do you not believe me?" Renault replied, then used his fork to cut a small piece and offered it to Yaoyorozu. "Try it first, remember the taste. I'll make it for you when I go back to school today. Let's see if mine is better."

"I feel like you're unusually passionate about food." Although saying so, Yaoyorozu still smiled and opened her mouth, eating the cake. "It tastes pretty good though. I'm looking forward to what you make. But what if it's not as delicious as you said?"

"How could that be? You don't trust me, huh? If it really isn't good, then I... won't be that great." Renault said, abruptly changing his statement halfway. "That was close. Almost blurted out 'Will do whatever you want', good thing I reacted fast enough."

"..." Yaoyorozu chuckled helplessly, hugging his arm again. The two of them slowly ate while chatting softly.

However, after ten minutes, no one had approached them.

"What's going on? Are those people so timid? I noticed a lot of them showing hostility towards me when I entered."

Listening to Renault's confusion, Yaoyorozu said, "They must be investigating your information and background. After all, they are people from influential families. They can't act recklessly and no one wants to stick their neck out."

"Oh, I see."

Renault nodded, glanced at the small groups over there, then withdrew his arm from Yaoyorozu's embrace and hugged her tightly from behind.

"It looks like we need to shake things up a bit for those people. Sitting like this is quite boring."

"Kya!" Startled by his sudden move, Yaoyorozu was surprised but mostly happy. She immediately squinted her eyes and comfortably lay in his embrace.

The actions of the two also infuriated several people who had been secretly observing them. Originally, these people were competing among themselves to see who could win over the Yaoyorozu Family's young lady, and then they could accept victory or defeat. But today, a nobody suddenly appeared and easily took away their long-unattainable target. How could they not be angry?

Immediately, a few individuals couldn't bear it anymore and were prepared to stand up.

*CLICK*

Just at that moment, the doors of the banquet hall, which had been closed all this time, opened, and someone else arrived.

"Hmm? Is that her?" Renault turned his head and happened to see the figure of a girl he had briefly encountered before.

Dark-purple long hair, a tall figure, and a white dress. Wasn't she the girl he helped retrieve her stolen bag?

"Do you know her?" Yaoyorozu looked at Renault with some surprise. "Don't you think that you have too many admirers of the opposite sex?"

"Um..." Renault hadn't even had a chance to answer before Yaoyorozu waved and called out to the girl who had just entered. "Mei, over here."

Upon hearing her name got called, the girl immediately turned her head and saw Yaoyorozu, as well as Renault who was holding her.

And upon seeing him, the girl's delight was even greater than when she saw Yaoyorozu.

Running over, the girl looked at Renault and said, "Senpai, we meet again!"
