Captivated by the Ruler of the Underworld
Chapter 39 The Magnificent Gathering at the Purple Pool, Master Sylvester Amazes Everyone

Purple Pool was a place that Lela was familiar with. Lily the spirit loved to come here and be fancy. Lela had brought her here to play in the past. Later on, Lily the spirit had even gotten herself the most prestigious diamond card at Purple Pool, although she had misplaced it somewhere.

To obtain a diamond card at Purple Pool, one had to verify their assets on the spot, including movable and immovable properties. What's more, it was required to disclose one's family background, which was rather extreme. Even if one came from a wealthy background, it was not easy to accomplish this feat here.

Back then, Lela knew that Lily the spirit was not just an ordinary nouveau riche. She had her hidden connections, but Lela didn't ask, inquire, or investigate. She treated Lily the spirit as a sister, a close one at that.

Typically, at this time, the Purple Pool would be filled with the young masters and ladies, as well as successful businessmen of the Central City. However, today it was extremely deserted. It seemed like it had been exclusively booked out. Booking the Purple Pool for a whole day came at a hefty price.

Lela suddenly realized that the people Sylvester played with were all wealthy. Of course, Sylvester was even wealthier.

The private room was lively, with some playing mahjong around a table, and others singing with extremely harsh voices...

But as Sylvester and his group arrived, the noisy voices instantly ceased.

As the door opened, everyone turned their gaze towards the entrance, where the tall and handsome figure of Sylvester appeared before their eyes. He was already the outstanding one among his peers present, and even many of their fathers would respectfully call him Master Sylvester. To them, he was like an unreachable star.

Everyone immediately stood up to show respect. Some who had never seen Sylvester before also stood up, not understanding the situation.

Those who didn't know what Sylvester looked like secretly asked the person next to them, "Who is this?"

"Ignorant fool, do you not even know who Master Sylvester is?"

"This is the mysterious Master Sylvester? My goodness, he's so handsome."

"Hey, hey, hey, you're a guy. Your reaction is worrying scaring me."

Wiping off some drool from his mouth, the person replied, "Sorry, I just couldn't help myself."

Finley sat in a corner, her gaze blurred as she looked towards the man at the door, a smile forming on his lips.

The door was a bit small, and Lela, Charley, Mildred, and Goy stood behind Sylvester. The difference was that Lela was being led by Sylvester, while Charley looked on with jealousy at the hand holding Lela's. In their childhood, those hands used to hold him. Oh well, he shouldn't look. After all, she was his sister-in-law.

Sylvester looked at the excited eyes of the crowd and nodded. "Please have a seat, everyone."

As soon as the boss spoke, everyone sat down in unison, like soldiers following orders.

Observing this, Trenton whispered, "My people underneath me are not this obedient."

Ignoring Trenton, Burl took the lead and called out, waving his hand. "Master Sylvester, over here."

Sylvester walked forward, leading Lela by the hand, and her breathtaking beauty was immediately visible before everyone.

Someone dropped their fork, someone's mouth hung open, food fell out, someone tried to smile but their face froze...

Only Finley was consumed by jealousy, which ran rampant in her veins.

She was supposed to be the beacon that everyone's attention was attracted to,, but once this woman appeared, all the attention was drawn to her, like moths to a flame.

The socialites speculated among themselves, "Who is that? She's so beautiful."

"The main point is the young lady and the man she stands beside, Master Sylvester, make such a great couple."

"Well, this one... doesn't stand a chance." A socialite discreetly pointed at Finley.

"There was no chance to begin with."

One of Finley's close acquaintances chimed in," Unlike Finley, who not only has good looks but also comes from a good family, that woman standing next to Master Sylvester is just a seductress with no background. Master Sylvester is just playing around with her.."

The others exchanged glances, smiling and saying nothing.

Comes from a good family? They were merely selecting a partner, relying on the influence of Master Sylvester's family, nothing more.
