The Goddess Made A Mistake Again - Chapter 336: 336 - Waldo

Chapter 336: Chapter 336 – Waldo

Vinewood Street, Capital City

On the glamorous Vinewood street, one of the richest divisions of the city where very rich people lived in their big mansions. There was a party happening inside the biggest mansion at the place.

A carriage of fine properties stopped at the main gate and came out our MC, clad in a three-piece red suit with white undershirt and a rose at his chest pocket, cliché I know, but it’s just the era’s style.

I was first spotted by the guards who respectfully asked me for the invitation card. After giving it to them, they bowed and thanked for attending as I went inside the hallway.

It was a party invitation and there was a ball was happening as well.

The inside of the mansion was large with ornate design spread across the whole place. People of various status and age were coming in and going straight to the main room.

I did the same and found a long room that seemed to be prepared for such social gatherings. There was more than a hundred people inside the room and none of them were in the same age as me.

Yet I didn’t find that fact disturbing, wanna know why?

“Mr. Tax, how good to see you.” A guy raised his glass.

“It’s good to see you as well, Mr. Bangton.” I replied to the obese man.

“Good Afternoon, Mr. Tax.” A middle aged baldy called me.

“Good Afternoon to you, Mr. Glavesell.” I reply.

“The weather’s fine this evening, Mr. Tax.” A tall man of beautiful genes said to me in greeting.

“Just as we hoped, Mr. Lakvon.” I smile at the guy.

Because this was not the first time I have been invited to a party. There have been a few times before and as my reputation grew, I also slowly made connections and even if that reputation wasn’t fully good, this people didn’t care much.

I wasn’t murdering people nor was I going in their home and beating them to give my money back.

I have a lot of rumors around me but nothing so definitive that could actually paint my history black.

I greeted the numerous number of people working in various stations and retaining certain positions before looking at the floor before me.

The whole round of people was standing on the floor that had been prepared for a ball, a dance event. But not one of them were actually dancing, a few tried to but they either stepped in one’s shoe or were not serious enough.

All of them formed their little small groups of three or five and talked with each other. None of them participating in any other event than the one called Gossiping.

They all formed their own group and spoke of various matters, but in the core of it, they all gossiped about each other. It didn’t matter if it was guys or gals, the gossip was everywhere.

There was this thing about social gathering and it was that if you didn’t gossip, you couldn’t be a real noble.

As I walked past a few group, I hear some talk.

“Did you hear, Lord Hillforth’s land is up for sale, apparently he couldn’t pay his debts in time.”

“Really?… well, it isn’t surprising considering how bad his income has been for the past few years.”

“I heard that the lady of Glorytown, the one that got married a few days ago worked as a prostitute in her active days.”

“Hah! Is that true?… And that woman has the gall to tell me to straighten my act. She should go and ditch herself in some barn.”

“Have you heard about Lord Tax… I hear the bounty on him has been revoked by Sekai.”

“Yes, I heard about that too. Apparently they struck some deal. You can’t say about this businessman and emperors; they always have their shrewd deals with only money in mind.” The guy who said that gave a wave to me as I nodded and went past him.

This was a Gathering.

A place filled with gossip and rumor more dangerous than a high school. But it wasn’t all bad, if you were to throw out the worthless rumors and hateful talks, there was good intel to be found.

Like Hillforth guy, He may be in debt, but the land he possesses is quite large and good for an idea or two. I’ll could visit the guy and buy his land in the cheapest value possibly, yet being a model citizen, I’ll give him enough to buy off his debt. That way both he and others will be satisfied and I will get my land and a tick up in reputation.

About the matter of me being called out for Sekai, it didn’t matter.

I was a hot topic for the past couple of months, it’s what helped me gain such connections. Now, I can’t expect to have good things without bad feedback.

This people were backstabbing snakes, I can’t stop them from gossiping about me. At least it’ll work as some kind of promotion.

As they say, All publicity is good publicity.

I go to the center of the room and found a large group. It was mostly clattered with 12 middle age fat guys who were drinking expensive alcohol and laughing about, while giving out the most valuable of intel.

The man in the middle, the attention of the group was a bit of a fat guy with balding hair. His face gave an innocent smile and yet spoke fluent tales about others.

He’s eyes spotted me and he immediately broke out of his group to greet me.

“Mr. Tax, how good to see your here. How do you like this evening?”

“As always, Mr. Wake, you throw the most marvelous of balls.” I reply.

Waldo Wake, An Earl of great networks and is known as the Contact Spider.

The name came from him throwing lavish balls almost every week and helping other gain network threw him. He wasn’t just helping out the others because of goodwill, he expected something good in return as well.

A net of connections, always building, Hence the name Contact Spider.

Even now as we talked, he was working, “About your matter…”

“Yes?”

“I believe she is here; do you want to meet her now or…”

“Now would be best.”

“Excellent” He smiled.

It took us some time and a few greeting before I finally found the woman. She was at one corner of the ballroom. A huge group of women and men surrounded her which couldn’t dwindle the light she emitted.

As we came close, I heard others talk about her organization. How they were going to donate some more to help the children and others.

These people showed such pain stricken faces but I knew they were just throwing money to wash some of their dirt away temporarily.

But that didn’t matter, I only came for her.

“Mrs. Veronica” Waldo called her as she peeked from the group that trapped her within. “I have someone special here who wanted to talk about contributing to society.”

Veronica’s eyes went from Waldo to me and it sparkled.

The beautiful and pure MILF stood right with a smile as close to a goddess. Her body radiating goodness and love humanity could only muster in dreams.

She spoke with her honeyed tone that allured me in a slow but loving pull.

“It’s you!”

Veronica Nobliesse, The exiled wife of the King and mother of Arthur Reginold.
