Meanwhile, the Lisbon family was holding an engagement party at their home.

They'd invited all their friends and family, all of whom were influential and wealthy folk.

When Sebastian arrived, Clement Lisbon immediately welcomed him personally. "Apologies for not giving you a proper welcome after your long journey here, Mr. Wilder. How is your mentor doing?"

This was Clement's primary concern. It was Sebastian's mentor who'd saved him from his terminal illness 15 years ago. To thank his mentor, Clement had agreed for his only daughter to be engaged to Sebastian.

"My mentor has unfortunately passed away." Sebastian looked saddened.

He was adopted by his mentor at the age of seven after losing both his parents at a young age. His mentor had taught him all sorts of things and had been his closest family. Sadly, he'd passed away a few days ago.

"Passed away? That's a true pity," Clement said. He then asked Sebastian, "How much did you learn from your mentor, then?"

"Regrettably, only very little. My mentor was the true genius between us two."

Sebastian was very humble when he answered Clement's question. He'd actually learned nearly most of his mentor's craft and even exceeded his mentor in some areas.

"Very little? What are you doing here, then?" Clement asked, expression darkening. His attitude took a 360-degree change.

It was Sebastian's mentor he'd wanted to seek out. If Sebastian had barely learned anything from his mentor, what use was he to Clement?

"I'm here to fulfill the engagement," Sebastian said and took out a signed contract.

"Which back alley did this scrawny little fellow crawl out from? Does he think he's fit to marry Ms. Lisbon all because he has a flimsy contract? How absurd!"

"Exactly! Does he think the likes of him can marry Ms. Lisbon? Dream on!"

"Get out of here!"
