FVN Chapter 678 Banquet Begins!
Chapter 678 Banquet Begins!
Shye and his friends had the day to themselves, and being new to the city, the eleven of them decided to explore after checking into a hotel, courtesy of the WAA.
After receiving a few reminders from Belford not to cause any trouble, they set out to explore the city's bustling, well-constructed streets.@@@@
They visited several skyscraper shops, purchasing consumables and even picking up a few new skills.
Later, they dined at a fancy restaurant, where Shye, the wealthiest among them, gladly covered the bill for everyone.
The group of eleven had so much fun the previous day that when they arrived at the venue for the Heroes' Banquet, they were all smiling and casually chatting about their experiences.
They appeared completely unfazed by the upcoming events, showing no concern for what might happen at the Banquet, which captured the attention of various youngsters from other regions.
The venue was not only spacious but also exuded luxury.
The massive doors were crafted from the most expensive and durable wood, while the walls were adorned with intricate carvings of various monsters, creating a somewhat eerie but appropriate atmosphere.
On the other hand, the floor, made of luxurious dark brown ceramic tiles, had been given a protective coating in anticipation of the upcoming spars.
It felt as though they were standing in the grand hall of a king's palace.
...Before the event, Belford provided his young companions with black capelets adorned with Valenzia's golden insignia, serving as a kind of group uniform.
Similarly, the younger generation from other regions wore their own distinct colors, making it easy to identify which region each participant represented.
This was the reason why everyone immediately knew that Shye's noisy group was from Valenzia.
The news that Valenzia would, for the first time in history, send representatives had stirred excitement among the heroes and youth at the venue.
While a few had genuine intentions of simply getting to know the younger Valenzians, the majority did not.
They were eager to put Shye and his companions in their place.
This feeling intensified after seeing how relaxed Shye and his group were.
The three newly inaugurated young heroes weren't even mentioned in the reports, as they had no accomplishments to their names.
This frustrated two of them, making them clench their fists, while the Yon Augenn hero remained quite nonchalant about it.
What angered them further was the annoying smirk on Shye's face as his achievements were stated by Lord Belford.
'Just you wait!' The two inwardly thought, almost in unison.
Fortunately, they didn't have to wait long, as the directors soon wrapped up their agendas, clearing the way for the next part of the program: the banquet.

In the center of the enormous hall stood ten long tables, each with eighteen seats—seven reserved for heroes, one for the director, and ten for the young companions.
Only Valenzia's table had twelve seats, as Shye was their sole hero.
Soon, waiters escorted them from the reporting area to the dining section, where everyone took their places on the plush seats provided by the WAA.
It was clear that the organization took the gathering seriously, given the participation of the finest from both the older and younger generations of each region.
Once everyone was seated, hundreds of waiters suddenly appeared from a designated entrance, carrying an array of dishes that they eagerly served to each table.
In no time, the tables were filled with gourmet-level meals—various meats, vegetables, seafood, beverages, and more.
Additionally, a long buffet table was rolled out from the waiters' preparation room, loaded with containers of extra food for anyone who found the servings at their table insufficient.
So far, everything has been extra pleasant for Shye and his companions
As for whether it would remain that way, no one knew, but Shye was determined to ensure everything went according to plan.
In fact, he was just as eager for the spars to begin as the elitists were.
He wanted to give them a face slapping they would never forget.
For now, however, the Valenzians intended to enjoy their meals to their hearts' content.
