Everyone was surprised after they heard Souta's introduction. They ignored his etiquette. His words drown anything to the point that they ignored anyone except his words.

Who didn't know the one who fought Gregory Vidrato and defeated him?

This topic spread around the circle of nobles. Everyone talked about the person who defeated a noble head a few weeks ago. It was a hot topic and a lot of arrogant nobles were mad at that person who opposed Gregory.

They didn't think that person himself would come to a party full of nobles.

Souta Ieshi was a big name among the younger generation. Some of the people were comparing him to Yanagi Shina saying that he would become as powerful as her.

What they didn't know that Yanagi was strong even without proper equipment while Souta has dark grade sword and a universal-grade artifact with him. That's the difference between the two.

Even Silvia and Leila were shocked when they heard Souta's introduction. Now that he mentioned it, his name was familiar to them. But it was out of their expectation that Souta was the one who defeated Gregory.

"Good. I hope the three of you enjoy my daughter's birthday party." Franz smiled as he raised the glass of wine in his hand.

"Thanks, we'll have fun." A smile formed on Souta's face.

With that, the party officially started.

Bryan was hungry so Silvia guided him to a table full of expensive foods and meals.

"Oh? It's my first time seeing these foods. Is it delicious?" Bryan exclaimed as he wiped the drool on the corner of his mouth.

"Yes, please enjoy yourself." Silvia smiled.

"Thanks for the food." Bryan smiled happily as he began to place the foods that he chooses on his plate.

Souta wanted to laugh seeing Bryan like that. The nobles were disgusted with the way he ate his food.

"How about you, Lynn? Do you want to eat?" He turned to Lynn who was beside him and asked.

"N-No." Lynn shook her head. "I'm fine like this."

Souta nodded and he stayed beside her watching the nobles talked to each other. No one approached them because of his reputation.

A few minutes had passed and the music in the hall changed. The nobles started to dance elegantly.

"This atmosphere is not to my liking," Souta muttered to himself. He preferred a normal party more than a formal one like this. This kind of party was boring for him.

Well, might as well do something.

He turned to Lynn and asked, "Do you want to dance, Lynn?"

"Eh! Um..." Lynn was stunned and her face flushed instantly. She lowered her head and said, "B-But I don't know how to dance..."

"Don't worry, I also don't know how to dance. Since we're here might as well try it." Souta said as he smiled.

"O-Okay." Lynn nodded as she slowly lifted her hand.

"Good." Souta nodded and grabbed her hand. "Just follow my lead. I thinking dancing is easier than practicing combat arts."

"..." Lynn didn't know what to say. She just followed Souta as she felt her heart thumping wildly.

Souta and Lynn danced while holding each other. Lynn was simply following Souta's instructions while Souta was copying the movements of the nobles around him.

Movements like this weren't complicated for him. He could easily learn it just by watching the nobles around him.

"How about it? Are you nervous?" Souta asked Lynn with a smile.

"Um... Yes..." Lynn slightly nodded her head. She didn't dare to look at his eyes. This was the first time she got this close to Souta. She was happy and anxious at the same time.

"Forget anyone. Take a deep breath and look into my eyes. Perceive the movement of my feet." Souta calmly said to her.

Lynn followed his instruction as she took a deep breath to calm her nerves. She then lifted her face and looked straight into his eyes.

Suddenly, a commotion occurred.

Souta and Lynn stopped as they turned their heads.

"Why are you doing this to me?!" Leila shouted with an angry expression.

"Why? There's no reason, I'm just doing what I wanted to do!" A handsome man said to Leila in a cold tone.

"You are engaged to me so don't bring any woman in this party of nobles! Also, you're tarnishing your family name and my family name by doing this kind of this!" Leilia shouted with a mad look. She was furious at her fiance who brought a commoner girl to a party even though he had her as his fiancee.

"Oh? I didn't see that I would see a drama at this party. It's out of my expectations." Souta exclaimed while watching the two argued.

Leila's fiance was a son of a duke. They had a name to preserved but this man brought a commoner woman to Silvia's birthday party.

The other nobles were simply watching them an interest in their eyes.

Souta looked at the time and smirked. The time has come and he was sure that the preparation was complete. He guessed that it's time to create a ruckus.

He strode beside Leila and asked, "Oho? What's happening here?"

"Shut up! It's not your business!" Leila shouted at Souta.

"I see... So that's why you're angry at commoners. Your fiance has another woman and it's a commoner. Hahaha, ridiculous." Souta laughed at her. He then looked at her seriously and said, "You shouldn't blame all commoners if you're angry at one commoner. Ah~ what should I do?"

"You!!" Leila glared at Souta and veins pop up on her forehead.

"You know who am I right? I'm an adventurer. You can hire me if you want." Souta raised his finger and said to her.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

A group of nobles stepped out and said to Souta, "The business of nobles is beyond your capabilities commoner! You should've stayed at your pitiful house!"

"Haha, I see that you finally stepped forward. I thought that you're a coward because you haven't come to me even though I'm waiting for you!" Souta said with a wide smile on his face.

This group of nobles was the one who was scheming at him. The one who publicize his name as the one who held the Seven Deadly Sins officers.

He received information from Jimmy that these nobles were also invited to Silvia's birthday party. That's why he insisted on attending this party because he wanted to meet these people personally before he crashed them.

"You dare to call us cowards!! You bastard!!" The nobles shouted angrily at him.

'Easily swayed by emotion... Too weak.' Souta thought while looking at these nobles with cold eyes.

The center of attention shifted to Souta and the opposite nobles. It was an unexpected development for the other people in this party.

"Yeah, you greedy cowards wanted to take the mana fruits in my legion, right? Do you want it? Then, fight me declare a legion war against me, Souta Ieshi." Souta taunted the nobles in front of him.

"I'm the heir of the Boleyn and you dare to mock me!" A man said to Souta. His voice was full of rage.

"Do you have an authority to declare war against me? If not then shut your mouth!" Souta continued to taunt these nobles.

"Fine, then I, Jagron Boleyn, declared a legion war against this vile man in front of me!" Jagron said to Souta. His retainers were trying to stop him but Jagron didn't listen to them.

Then, another noble stepped up and asked, "What's your stake in this war?" This man was Souta's enemy too.

"Me? I'll give you everything inside the treasury of my legion including those twenty mana fruits if you win against me," Souta replied to that man. This man was much more calmer than Jagron.

"Then, I will also declare a war against the Dark Oculus Legion." The man said with a serious expression. "Everyone here is a witness so you have to keep the agreement."

"Souta Ieshi will accept all of your war challenges against my Dark Oculus Legion. If I win I will take everything from you. Everything that you have will be mine." Souta declared to everyone in this place.

All the people in this place heard their agreement. They were looking forward to watching the war between their forces. Some of the people were already talking about how Souta will lose this war.

Of course, from their point of view, Souta was a foolish person who accepted the war challenges of different noble families. Isn't that insane? They could understand it if Souta only accepted one challenge at a time but out of their expectations, he accepted everything.

Even the duke couldn't believe what he heard. He was simply watching them with his eyes. He wanted to know why a lot of people praised this young man so much.

He looked down at the transmission talisman on his hand and said, "Do you hear that? Your sons declared a war against that infamous Souta."

Suddenly, they heard Souta laughed. Everyone paused as they wondered why he was laughing like that.

"HAHAHA!!"

Souta opened his arms widely and threw a transmission talisman in the mid-air.

"You hear that my cute subordinates. They declared a war against us so we better fight back. So I, the commander of the Dark Oculus Legion, gives his permission to destroy our enemies."

Everyone opened their eyes widely when they heard his words. The meaning of his words.
