Julian wasn't afraid of trouble, but he saw no reason to waste his time on unnecessary drama. Too zy to expin anything, he simply turo Dawn and said, "I'll head over first. You guys talk."
"I'll e find you in a bit," Dawn replied.
Although she disliked the father and son duo, ht ign them wasn't an option. Among aristocratic families, even if they secretly wao destroy each other, they always maintained perfect politeness on the surface.
Seeing how closely Dawn leaned in to speak with Julian, the young man's jealousy fred up instantly.
And when he saw Julian about to leave, he shouted angrily, "I don't care who you are! Remember this—Dawn is my woman! If you don't watch yourself and something happens to you, don't say you weren't warned!"
This was a btant public threat.
His voice was loud, and since many people in the au reized the Wells family, it quickly caught attention.
In Rockwell City, the Wells family was sed only to Frank's family. They had two Elite-rarainers, one of whom was te-stage Elite.
Offending the eldest son of the Wells family meaain doom in Rockwell City—he might not even live to see the sun tomorrow.
Someone in the crowd sneered, "If Caleb didn't have the Wells family bag him, he would've been dead a long time ago."
"It's a pity for that young man," Another person sighed.
But the mao him smirked, "Caleb just picked the wrong fight."
"What do you mean? Are you saying that kid's background is strohan the Wells family?"
The man's expression ged as he took another look at Julian. A familiar feeling washed over him. And then—his eyes widened as realization struck.
"Hiss—"
"Hahaha, The Wells family's finally in trouble."
The man lowered his void kept ughing. Because of having two Elites in the family, the Wells family had been ag arrogant for years, stepping on many toes.
And he, for one, was more than happy to see them suffer.
Julian stopped in his tracks. He turned around and slowly walked toward Caleb.
Standing at 1.85 meters, Julian towered over Caleb, who was barely over 1.7 meters.
'Why do people keep walking straight into their owhs?'
To Julian, Caleb was nothing but an idiot—pig a fight without even knowing who he against, and in a pce like the au house where the rid powerful gathered.
Did he seriously think that anyone who could ehis au house was just an ordinary person?
"You little—"
Caleb barely got a word out before—
SLAP!
His father, Albert, suddenly smacked him across the face.
Caleb stood there, stunned.
Caleb: 'Dad, are you going senile? Did you just hit the wrong person?'
"Young Master Walker, I sincerely apologize. My son has beeally challenged since birth."
As Julian walked up to Caleb, Albert finally got a clear look at his face— and nearly colpsed on the spot.
He khat the young master of the Walker family had retly arrived in Rockwell City to challehe National Rock Gym—and had even won.
He had even po buy something valuable at the au today so he could gift it to Julian tomorrow as a way to establish ties with the Walker family.
But fate had other pns.
He had been looking for a way to ect with the Walkers, yet his own son's mouth had just destroyed that opportunity—maybe even dragging the entire Wells family down with him.
"Just now, he said I wouldn't live to see tomorrow," Julian's tone was calm.
SMACK!
SMACK!
Albert immediately unleashed a flurry of sps, his speed was almost as fast as Double Sp.
The entire au hall fell silent. The only sound that remained was the crisp, eg sps ringing through the air.
Caleb's face began to swell up iime.
"Is that how you talk to Young Master Walker?!"
"I'll kill you b*****d"
"Apologize to Young Master—NOW!"
Albert showed no mercy. The sps nded with full force, knog loose several of Caleb's teeth.
"That's enough."
Julian g Albert. This man was ruthless—even to his own son. Since he had already humiliated himself this much, there was no need for Julian to tinue pressing the matter.
With that, he turned aered Box No. 8 with Dawn.
Meanwhile, in the Au Hall…
Everyone had withe plete humiliation of the Wells family. Most of the crowd watched the Wells father and son with gloating expressions, waiting to see how badly this would end for them.
Even some families that had previously been close to the Wells were already sidering cutting ties.
Oher hand, Dawn's family suddenly found itself in the spotlight. Everyone had seen Julian and Dawer the private box together.
Someoted Dawn's father, Richard, on the shoulder.
"Old Richard, don't fet about your old friend when your family rises up, alright?"
Richard ughed, pying along. "Of course, of course."
He khat people were probably overthinking things—his daughter and Julian weren't necessarily involved—but that didn't stop him from taking advantage of the situation.
Suddenly, many powerful figures gathered around Richard, all eager to show goodwill.
Some even started suggesting marriage alliances—going as far as their daughters to marry into his family.

Inside Box No. 8, Julian and Dawn sat side by side—though not too close—with a server standing nearby to assist them.
her of them spoke, Julian casually scrolled through his phone, While Dawn oher hand, seemed lost in thought.
Earlier, Julian had posted a short video online. Now, it had already surpassed six million likes.
His inbox? Flooded.
He clicked on a few messages at random.
'Good grief'
'When did girls start dressing this boldly?!'
'Are those basketballs in her shirt?'
Dawn had been looking for an excuse to talk to Julian. Just as she turo speak, her eyes nded on his phone s.
Dawn: (⊙﹏⊙)b
"Just some fan messages—I was just scrolling through randomly," Julian immediately felt the o expin.
Dawn nodded bnkly, her mind slightly dazed. She wasn't sure what came over her, but she suddenly blurted out:
"So… you like… bigger ones?"
As soon as the words left her mouth, her face froze in shock. She wao expin herself, but then—
"Not too big, something around your size is fine."
'Gravity is still a thing, you know'
Dawn's face immediately turned red, she instinctively gnced down at herself.
The server nearby remained expressionless, but inside, he was relentlessly judging Julian's terrible flirting skills.
As the clock hit 11:00 PM — The Au officially began.
The lights in the au hall suddenly brightened, a man wearing a Gengar mask stepped onto the stage.
"Wele, everyoo the annual Mystery Au."
"I will be your aueer tonight."
"repared a total of 30 exclusive items."
"Eae is incredibly valuable—so I hope your wallets are ready. Otherwise, you might just miss out on what you need~"
Following the aueer's appearance, Dawn turo Julian, "Young Master Julian, if you see anything you like, our family buy it for you."
"No need. I have money."
Julian ftly refused.
Dawn: 'Is that really the issue?! If you don't even give us a ce, how is our family supposed to suck up to you?!'
