"Good evening. It's nice to meet everyone." I made sure to activate my 'Francis Card,' giving me the extra charm I needed to socialize.
Although my normal personality could handle this kind of situation, using the card helped me hide my true emotions more effectively.
Richard stood and shook my hand. "We're also glad to meet one of the most promising young billionaires in the city. Securing four S-Ranks in your guild in such a short span is unprecedented."
"I just got lucky," I responded.
"Smart and humble," Richard joked. "If the younger generation had an ounce of your ability, I'm sure our country would have reached even greater heights."
I smiled politely. "You're too kind, Mr. Richard. Let's not keep everyone waiting."
Sitting at the table, I picked up a glass of water and made small talk with Mr. and Mrs. Blackwood, easing into the conversation before moving on to more important matters.
