Chapter 508 Is this the first day you've met me, Renn? With Renn's status and position, he doesn't need to curry favor with other nobles or expand his network.
Ryan himself is his biggest network.
Austin was well aware of this, so apart from a few people who had been on good terms with the Grey family for generations, Austin ruthlessly drove away anyone who wanted to bother Raine.
Of course, Austin knew that Ryan had a penchant for beautiful women.
So Austin did not stop the noble girls who came to the banquet from getting close to Renn.
Austin led Ryan to mainly introduce the food on the table.
“Young Master Ryan, these are South China Sea shellfish that just arrived at the Wilson family yesterday. They are the largest and freshest sea ice shellfish in the South China Sea.”
"The taste is extremely delicious. A single sea ice clam can sell for several hundred gold coins in the south, and it's always in high demand. You must try it."
Ryan stepped forward, took a fork, and put a piece of white shell meat that looked like a pearl into his mouth, chewing it gently.
He naturally knew about this type of sea ice clam, but its production was extremely limited; even the Gray family couldn't obtain many in a month.
It's not that the Gray family doesn't have enough influence in the South China Sea, but rather that very few of these shellfish are caught there.
So Rennes can only eat it a few times a month.
As for the taste... it's naturally a delicacy of our time.
Austin keenly noticed the smile on Renn's lips, moved closer to Renn, and chuckled.
"If Young Master Renn likes them, I have some more. You can take them with you after the banquet."
Ryan glanced at Austin, then forked another piece of sea ice clam.
"Speak up if you have something to say."
Austin gave a harmless smile: "Just want to be friends with you."
"If you like, I can collect a batch of sea ice shells for you every month."
Seeing that Ryan was looking at him, Austin explained with a smile.
"I have trained some 'shellfish people' in the South China Sea who specialize in catching shellfish by hand. They can get a pretty good number of sea ice shellfish every month."
Renn chuckled, ate another piece of sea ice clam, and then walked off to other places.
“Being my friend, Rennes… isn’t so easy.”
Ryan walked ahead of Austin, and his voice reached Austin's ears.
Seeing that his goal had not been achieved, Austin smiled and was not discouraged. He followed half a step behind Renn, blocking people who wanted to talk to Renn.
Austin led Ryan on a stroll through the manor's dinner area.
Just then, a middle-aged man led four people toward Rennes.
Upon seeing this, Austin stepped in front of Renn and bowed to the middle-aged man who was leading the group.
"Good evening, Marquis Falk. May I ask what brings you here?"
Falk House glanced coldly at Austin, when a nobleman behind Falk shouted at him.
"Austin, are you questioning the Marquis of Falk?!"
"What Marquis Falk wants to do is none of your business!"
"Get out of the way!"
The one who spoke out was Beren Hunt, the most loyal canine of the House family.
Although Austin is a direct descendant of the Wilson family, the Wilson family is far inferior to the House family.
That's why Belen dared to be so presumptuous.
The harsh words were a stark contrast to the amicable conversation at the banquet. After Beren finished speaking, everyone at the banquet turned their attention to her.
Renato Wilson, standing in the crowd, laughed as he watched his brother being scolded.
Renato swirled the wine in his glass and sneered, "You've offended the House family. Let's see how you explain this to Father."
Not only did Renato look at Austin with amusement, but the other heirs of the Wilson family also looked at their eldest brother with amusement.
No one came to Austin's rescue.
Austin took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "What Marquis Falk is doing is none of my business, Austin."
“Young Master Renn told me that he didn’t want to interact with strangers at the dinner.”
"As the guide for Young Master Renn at this banquet, it is my duty to stop those who want to be by his side."
