Leon Batton nodded before heading into the fitting room to change into the midnight blue tuxedo. Xyla Quest and Lynette Batton were sitting on the couch when he walked out. They seemed pleasantly surprised by his look and smiled in satisfaction.“Woah! You look like a completely different person!” Lynette gasped out as her eyes widened.“Looks like I’ve got good taste,” Xyla declared proudly.“Yes, Mommy. You do have good taste in clothes. I would have to learn from you,” Lynette complimented her mother.Xyla studied her son, thinking that he looked even more distinguished after changing into formal attire. He exuded a more grounded vibe, giving him an impressive presence compared to his usual school uniform.With money, clothes could change a person's entire appearance and impression.“Don’t bother trying the other outfits. We’ll go with this one,” Xyla said to the sales assistant with a thoughtful expression.***The day of Wilson Batton’s birthday party arrived in the blin

The small garden had been carefully designed to be surrounded by man-made hills with flowers, lush greenery, a pavilion, and a small river. It was visually stunning.“This scenery is so beautiful. Unfortunately, now isn’t the time to admire all this,” Lynette Batton said with a sigh.“Maybe not right now, but once we’ve performed for Grandpa and Grandma, we can come back here to enjoy the scenery,” Leon Batton answered.“Okay.”Then, she pulled her brother into the pavilion and began to rehearse her part while he observed her with an affectionate smile on his face.Meanwhile, Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton entered the ballroom hand-in-hand.By then, most of the guests had already arrived.Beautifully-clad women in traditional dresses were up on stage, playing stringed instruments that sounded heavenly.Several invited guests found themselves in small groups of three to five people, sitting together to drink tea or play chess.Numerous others sat quietly off-stage as they list

“That’s because today is his birthday! Let’s all give Mr. Batton the loudest applause and wish him a happy birthday, all right?”Everyone started clapping as soon as the emcee finished talking, and the applause didn’t stop.Wilson Batton led Sharon Lindt, Xyla Quest, and Stanley Batton to the main table in front of the stage while everyone watched them take a seat.Wilson remained standing and raised his cup of tea slowly as a gesture of appreciation to his attendees. “Thank you all for making time to attend my birthday party. I’m truly honored by your presence.“I’d like to express my heartfelt gratitude for your warm wishes with this cup of tea in place of alcohol.” With that, he raised his cup and emptied its content while everyone else did the same with their goblets of wine.“We have alcohol, food, and performances tonight. I hope everyone will have a good time and enjoy the evening,” Wilson added before taking a seat.The emcee picked up the microphone and smiled. “Some peo

“Good evening, everyone. I'm Lynette, and this is my brother, Leon. We are Mr. Batton’s grandchildren.” Lynette Batton announced into the microphone as she introduced herself and Leon Batton to the guests.“We have prepared a little performance for our grandfather, so please enjoy it,” she added as she took her place next to the microphone while Leon sat in front of the piano.All eyes were on them at that moment as the two of them became the center of attention.Then, he placed his hands over the piano and began to play, his fingers dancing gracefully on the black and white keys. His perfect face from the side looked like a portrait.The guests were mesmerized by the music.Then, Lynette waited for her cue before she began to sing the song she had prepared in advance, The Brightest Star.She had the voice of a nightingale. Nobody spoke during their performance, and they all quietly listened to her beautiful singing.Everyone seemed to indulge in the song, its touching melody dr

The family had a great time together as the birthday party was well organized this year.Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton returned home with Lynette Batton and Leon Batton after the party ended. By then, the sky was already pitch dark.Stanley and Xyla returned to their room first.He reached out to pull his wife into his arms as soon as they walked in, pressing his chin against her head. Her familiar fragrant scent made him feel a lot more at ease.***The next day, Lynette and Leon were having breakfast together.“Is Mommy awake yet?” she murmured when she hadn't seen Xyla for a while.“She’s probably awake but too busy to come down,” Leon replied impatiently. “Are you done eating? If you are, let’s head to school.”“All right, I’m almost done. Why weren’t you this eager to go to school previously?” his sister complained while rolling her eyes at him.“Umm, it’s almost time. We’re going to be late,” he said with an awkward expression.“We usually get to school just in time,

Leon Batton’s table was empty apart from a small slice of toast.Other students were baffled at the sight as they stood around him.“Does Leon like toasts?”“Quick, write that down! We’ll give him toasts next time!”“Yeah, this is an important detail. Hurry up, and write it down. We could sell this information to other people!”Some students from Class A began writing in their notebooks while Leon ignored them all. He unzipped the bag and then started to munch on the toast.The teacher arrived by the time he was almost done eating, The first lesson was a slightly boring language class. Leon memorized everything he read in the first round, so it wasn’t difficult for him at all.The teacher randomly selected Leon to recite a passage from the textbook.“Leon, please stand up to recite the passage for the class,” the teacher said.Out of respect for his teacher, he set his phone down and did as told.“Lynette and Leon have been on their phones the entire time without even loo

Leon Batton began reciting The Curiel Family word-for-word in front of his classmates, who were not the only ones shocked. Even his language teacher was wide-eyed in disbelief.It was impossible, even magical.“I’m done reciting, Teacher,” he said casually before taking his phone out to continue scrolling through Weibo as he sat down, leaving everyone in his class in shock.“That was amazing!”“How did he memorize it after a single read? Oh my god! Do geniuses like him really exist? I think he’s even smarter than Einstein!”“My goodness! I took an entire week to memorize that passage, and I doubt I could even recite it as smoothly as he did!”His classmates were sighing and were deeply impressed by him.Leon successfully reciting The Curiel Family was the equivalent of a hard slap across the language teacher’s face.“Ahem," the teacher coughed awkwardly before chuckling out loud. "That was very impressive, Leon. You should all learn from him.”He never bothered the gifted stud

Leon Batton stood up and looked at Lynette Batton when school ended for the day. “I have to train at the base later. You’ll have to find your own way home today,” he told her.She nodded obediently. “Okay, I’ll go home by myself tonight.”Then, they bid farewell in front of the school entrance before Leon drove to Team XS’s base. His eyes narrowed when he saw a familiar figure by the road as he drove, prompting him to find a spot to pull over before getting out of his car.Hannah Roland walked ahead of him holding a bag of cat food and a few slices of ham, muttering to herself. “I’ve bought so much food today. It should be enough for the kitten, right?”Her pace quickened while Leon observed her curiously. He decided to follow her discreetly from a safe distance to avoid alerting her to his presence.Eventually, he followed her into a dilapidated alley. He detected a scent of dampness as soon as he entered. There were puddles of muddy water on the ground.Leon frowned at that, bu
