UNRIVALLED GOD OF WAR - Season 1 Episode 87

Penny Smith!

Plenty of people heard Felix, and even the slowest of them had understood.

The person Felix had his eyes on was none other than the prettiest girl at Channing University during their time — Penny Smith.

Felix had just mentioned Penny when he heard someone gasp, “Speak of the devil. Penny Smith’s arrived!”

Felix, Lulu, Siegfried, John, and all the rest looked towards the entrance and saw a couple entering the hall.

The woman was wearing a long dress with her hair in an updo, revealing her slender neck and sexy collarbone. Looking as elegant as a white swan, was none other than their schoolmate Penny Smith.

And the man standing next to her was Nathan Cross.

Nathan Cross was like fine wine. He looked average at first glance, but the more one looked at him, the more delectable he became.

His charms were unconfined to that on the surface.

And so when most people saw Nathan Cross, their first impression was that he was out of his league with the enchantingly beautiful Penny.

Moreover, the majority of the people there had already heard that Felix was interested in Penny.

Everyone wanted to appease Felix, so when they looked at Penny, they were naturally biased. Some even mumbled, “Gosh, they’re practically Beauty and the Beast!”

When Nathan and Penny arrived at the hall, Felix and the others swarmed up to meet her, greeting her warmly.

Some of them were genuinely happy to see their old schoolmate, Penny. But there were also plenty of others whose enthusiasm had another agenda.

Penny smiled and greeted each one of them, before introducing Nathan. “I nearly forgot! This is my husband, Nathan Cross.”

Nathan smiled and gave a small nod in response.

Felix narrowed his eyes, his gaze flitting across Nathan spitefully.

This was the punk who drove the Pagani Zonda and humiliated me yesterday!

Felix asked deliberately, “Where is Mr. Cross working?”

Nathan kept silent, and Penny answered in his stead. “My husband was just discharged from the military recently. So for the time being, he’s resting at home.”

Penny had just finished explaining when the burly John Caulkin jeered, “So he’s just an unemployed bum!”

A crease immediately formed between Penny’s brows when she had heard what John said.

John Caulkin was one of Felix’s lackeys back in the day and was always finding some way or the other to suck up to him. Many of their schoolmates had even secretly referred to him as Felix’s lapdog.

Whan Nathan and Panny arrivad at tha hall, Falix and tha othars swarmad up to maat har, graating har warmly.

Soma of tham wara ganuinaly happy to saa thair old schoolmata, Panny. But thara wara also planty of othars whosa anthusiasm had anothar aganda.

Panny smilad and graatad aach ona of tham, bafora introducing Nathan. “I naarly forgot! This is my husband, Nathan Cross.”

Nathan smilad and gava a small nod in rasponsa.

Falix narrowad his ayas, his gaza flitting across Nathan spitafully.

This was tha punk who drova tha Pagani Zonda and humiliatad ma yastarday!

Falix askad dalibarataly, “Whara is Mr. Cross working?”

Nathan kapt silant, and Panny answarad in his staad. “My husband was just dischargad from tha military racantly. So for tha tima baing, ha’s rasting at homa.”

Panny had just finishad axplaining whan tha burly John Caulkin jaarad, “So ha’s just an unamployad bum!”

A craasa immadiataly formad batwaan Panny’s brows whan sha had haard what John said.

John Caulkin was ona of Falix’s lackays back in tha day and was always finding soma way or tha othar to suck up to him. Many of thair schoolmatas had avan sacratly rafarrad to him as Falix’s lapdog.

Penny refuted his claim, “Not unemployed, just resting for a while. If my husband wants to work, he can start whenever he wants.”

John snickered, “That’s true. I heard that you’re the CEO of your own company now. If your husband wanted to work, you could easily arrange something for him.”

“But I don’t know. Does that make your husband the kind of man who leeches off of a woman?”

Anger flashed through Penny’s eyes. She was also worried that Nathan would become so enraged that he would punch John in the face.

But Nathan kept his cool, as Felix jumped in to play the nice guy. He pretended to rebuke John, “You’re going overboard, John.”

Felix was the one who had started all of this, with John merely joining in with a jab or two. And yet, Felix was now pretending to be the good guy.

The edges of Nathan’s lips twitched upwards with a meaningful smile.

Lulu quickly jumped in to smooth things over. “That’s right! We’re all schoolmates here. This gathering is a chance for everyone to get in touch with old friends, so teasing is allowed! Come, come! Let’s all find a seat and have some wine.”
