"Who's there? No entry without permission within the Page family's territory!"
The guard at the door picked up his weapon and pointed it at Verdant and Irvin, his eyes
filled with eagerness and a trace of anger and humiliation.
Nigella left a very deep impression on them, and the Page family felt insulted. Even if
Nigella had worked things out with the Page family, it was difficult for them to forget it. As
such, they now gave hostile treatment to visitors who came to the Page family without
permission.
Verdant smiled and said to the guard, "I'm Verdant, ranked 38 on the nine-star talent list.
I'm here to visit Philip and Nigella."
The guard's attitude changed for the better, but he still did not retract his weapon.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe said, "Okay, I see... Please wait for a moment. I'll pass the message."
The guard picked up his communicator and notified the butler in a low voice.
Irvin looked at Verdant with dissatisfaction and said, "Verdant, why are you so polite to the
servants?"
Verdant rolled his eyes and said in exasperation, "How many times have I told you?
Courtesy is the best policy. We have a purpose here. If you don't display your sincerity, the
other party might not be willing to cooperate with us. So, it's important to be friendly to
the servants."
Verdant was a person with a high IQ and EQ, and he would not make things difficult for
others if he could help it.
Irvin opened his mouth but quickly shut it again.
Since Verdant put it that way, what else could he say?
Let it be...
He was not good with his words anyway, and Verdant had never been wrong yet.
On the other hand, Philip had just walked to Nigella's door when he received a message
from the Page family's butler.
[Mr. Clarke, there's a man named Verdant outside who says that he ranks 38 on the talent
list. He wants to have a discussion with you and Nigella. How should we handle this?]
Strictly speaking, the Page family's butler should address Nigella as Lord Wisteria or Miss
Nigella. However, he called her by her first name, which showed how bad of an impression
Nigella had left on the Page family.
Philip was not concerned about it but frowned at the message.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe pondered for a moment and replied: [Okay, please show them in.]
The butler's attitude was not bad, so Verdant's attitude at the door should be quite good.
Getting this message could already prove something.
Since the other party's attitude was good, Philip would not disrespect him either.
The butler quickly agreed. Everyone in the Page family respected Philip very much.
News had spread in Asteroid City that Diggory and his elder would step down from their
high positions, and it was likely that the Page family would take over their jobs!
After all, the Page family once contributed to Asteroid City, and the citizens knew that the
Page family did not take charge before because Linus was unwell. It was difficult to
influence others without any practice. After all, this society valued strength.
Now that Linus had recovered, this problem was resolved.
