The Shelter Game: Me, Starting with a Tenfold Drop Rate

Chapter 33: Announcing the Engagement



At this moment, many people in the banquet hall were attracted by the commotion, and they all looked over.

"Isn\'t that Miss Vicky from the Smith family?"

"She\'s still so beautiful, whoever marries her would be really lucky."

"Among the top ten beauties in the capital city, I think Miss Vicky can at least rank in the top three. But I heard she\'s already engaged to the Taylor family?"

"Is that right? But who\'s that guy next to her... how come we\'ve never seen him before?" The crowd was buzzing with curiosity.

Vicky didn\'t care about the gaze of others, instead, she turned to Irving at her side. She said with some surprise, "Irving, do you know the James\'s younger sister? The Green Vine Group is quite a significant force in the city. "

"I have some connections." Irving replied with a smile.

Vicky was surprised that Irving had also come to the banquet tonight. They had just happened to meet at the door, and what surprised her more was that Lily was actually waiting for him with an invitation. She knew that the specifications of this banquet were high, not every family had received an invitation. Ordinary people didn\'t even have the qualification to participate.

Irving\'s reason for coming was simple, the major guilds in the game were rising, and he had to prepare in advance.

Although he had no intention of joining these guilds, it didn\'t mean he couldn\'t cooperate with them. On the other hand, he had another purpose this time, which was the Vicky next to him.

Not only because of their similar experiences, the magician with the gift of[Healing Arts]would become a great help to Irving in the near future.

"Halt!" Before Irving and Vicky could enter the banquet hall, they were stopped by a figure.

Dennis stormed over, followed by two security guards. Seeing him, the smile on Vicky\'s face disappeared instantly, "What are you doing here?"

"Vicky, I can forgive you for sneaking out to date this loser. But bringing him to an event like this, are you trying to disgust me or everyone?" Dennis complained angrily.

"What do you mean?" Vicky was indignant and chose to stand in front of Irving.

"What do I mean?" Dennis snorted, "I don\'t know if you\'re stupid or cheap. This kind of loser has no right to attend a banquet of this level, not even qualified to kneel and shine my shoes! He is nothing but a piece of shit living off women, bringing him here is nothing but disgusting!"

"Security!" Dennis shouted, "The Hinton Hotel has really gone downhill. Now any Tom, Dick, or Harry can get in"

The next moment, the two security guards understood and walked up to Irving, "Please leave immediately! Otherwise, we will have to escort you out."

The security guards at the entrance saw the commotion and several of them came over, quickly surrounding Irving.

Seeing this, Dennis looked satisfied, thinking to himself: "Steal my girl? You should take a good look at yourself first!"

The commotion here was too big, attracting the attention of everyone in the banquet hall.

Seeing that Irving was about to be thrown out, Vicky panicked. But after all, she was just a weak woman, unable to compete with these burly security guards.

"Leave immediately! This is your last warning!" The security guard glared menacingly at Irving, gesturing to his side, ready to throw this intruder out of the banquet hall.

Irving was still dressed in cheap jeans and a simple white T-shirt, while everyone else in the banquet hall was in formal attire. He stood out like a sore thumb. To the security guards, even if Irving had an invitation, he must have stolen it…

"What are you guys doing?" A familiar voice sounded.

Not far away, James and Lily came striding over.

"James, this man..." The security guards recognized James and were about to explain.

"Silence!" James glared at them, "This gentleman, Mr. Irving, is my friend and I invited him. Is there a problem?"

The security guards instantly fell silent.

"James, this guy\'s your friend?" Dennis, who was ready to enjoy the show, was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter, "I\'m really worried about your Green Vine Group. James, are you blind? Can\'t you see that this guy is just a freeloader?"

"Our Green Vine Group\'s affairs are none of your concern." James gave Dennis a cold glance, then turned to Irving, "I\'m really sorry about this, Mr. Irving. Had I not arrived early, this wouldn\'t have happened... Mr. Irving, don\'t pay any attention to these people. Let\'s go inside."

Irving didn\'t say much, only nodded and was about to leave with Vicky.

"Wait a minute." Dennis again blocked their path, his face darkening.

"Dennis, what do you want to do? He\'s my friend, doesn\'t he have the right to attend this banquet?" James questioned.

The power of the Green Vine Group was on par with Dennis\'s Sunrich Group. Dennis forced a smile, "Of course he can, but..." His gaze shifted to Vicky, "Miss Vicky must stay here."

"Why?" Vicky was fed up. Dennis kept showing up like an annoying fly, making her feel disgusted.

Dennis grinned, "Because you\'ll soon be my fiancee. I can\'t control others, but I won\'t allow you to associate with this loser. Come with me!"

As he spoke, he attempted to pull Vicky away.

But before he could get close, a tall figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

Irving stood directly in front of Dennis.

"What do you want, loser? Get out of the way!" Dennis yelled angrily.

"She\'s not going anywhere with you." Irving spoke calmly. Even though his voice was not loud, it was filled with determination.

This completely infuriated Dennis. As the young master of the Sunrich Group, no one had ever dared to defy him!

Especially this loser who was trying to steal his girl.

"I\'ve been ignoring you because you\'re not worth my time. "Since you refuse to take the easy way, don\'t blame me for what happens next.," Dennis raised his hand and slapped Irving.

James was also enraged at the sight, "Dennis, you dare!"

He tried to stop Dennis, but it was already too late.

Just as everyone was watching the slap about to land on Irving\'s face, Dennis\' hand suddenly froze mid-air in the next second.

Irving had seized Dennis\' wrist.

"You!" Dennis tried with all his might to break free, only to find that the so-called loser in his eyes had an astonishing strength, his hand gripped like iron, "You... let go!"

"Apologize to her." Irving said coldly.

His physical strength had greatly improved from his time fighting with beasts in the game, with his hand slightly increasing in strength, Dennis\' face began to show a painful expression.

"Let... let go, my hand is about to break!" Dennis shouted.

Everyone present was stunned.

No one had thought that a young punk from nowhere would dare to fight against the young master of the prestigious Sunrich Group!

Not to mention this punk, even a number of the families present would not dare to offend young master Dennis, was he seeking death?

"How dare you!"

Just as Dennis was about to collapse, a majestic and stern voice echoed. Everything that had just happened had been watched by Gary. How could he stand by and watch his grandson being bullied?

He quickly strode over.

"Release him." Gary\'s aged gaze was like a sharp sword, "I asked you to let go! Did you hear me?"

Every word was like a boulder falling, making people shudder.

But it seemed as though Irving had not heard him at all.

Dennis felt as if his wrist was about to snap, and he could faintly hear the "creaking" sound of his bones, for some reason a trace of fear flashed through his heart.

"Irving, let\'s just let it go..." Vicky quickly came over. She didn\'t want to escalate the matter, her voice carrying a pleading tone.

James also came over and said, "Mr. Irving, don\'t bother with such people, let it go."

"I hope there won\'t be a next time. Otherwise, no one can save you." Irving frowned, finally slowly releasing his hand, his cold eyes glanced at Dennis, who was clutching his wrist in pain on the ground.

As Irving was preparing to take Vicky into the banquet hall, he saw Gary\'s face turning ashen, looking at his grandson in such pain. His aged eyes showed a trace of malice.

"Vicky, stay where you are and come back immediately!" At this time, a figure emerged from the crowd, it was Joseph.

"Uncle Joseph, you..." Vicky was stunned in place.

"Didn\'t you hear me when I told you to come back?" Joseph\'s face sank as he continued, "Your parents died early. As your guardian, I have the right to manage you!"

"Your marriage has been arranged with Dennis. You are now the fiancée of young master Dennis!"

These words were clearly heard by everyone present.

No one had expected that Joseph would take advantage of this dinner to announce his niece\'s marriage.

"Did you hear that, Vicky? Come and help me up!" Dennis, who managed to get up from the ground in embarrassment, revealed a triumphant smile and commanded.
