Reincarnation of the Strongest Healer

Chapter 1314: Film Festival Part 7

"He still hadn’t gotten over milk?" Kara raised an eyebrow in disbelief. The look in her eyes toward Xu Feng had changed drastically.

"I’ve long gotten over it already." Xu Feng hurriedly clarified. Drinking milk was healthy for one’s body. But the implication that these two used was totally different.

What they implied was that he was still a young teenager who hadn’t grown up yet.

Alas, little did Xu Feng know. He was trolled hard this time.

"See, what did I tell you?" Carmen giggled merrily. "I told you that he will react intensely. Someone like him knows how to bend and how to stand up."

"I’m glad that he at least got some backbone." Kara acknowledged this fact. But soon, her expression changed as she lowered her tone.

"Young man, if you really love Carmen, then don’t blame this Auntie for not reminding you. Her identity is not ordinary, so the obstacles you have to face in the future will be more difficult than this event."

"Rest assured, Aunt Kara." Xu Feng fixed his clothes and looked at her with a solemn expression.

"Since I have decided to pursue the romantic path with Carmen, then unless she tells me herself personally to end things. Nobody can end it."

"Does that ’nobody’ include you as well?" Carmen suddenly chimed in and asked.

"Yes, I mean nobody, including me. So you better choose your words wisely."

"Hmph, I’m not going to end things. You can forget about it ever happening."

"I’ll say... Can the two of you not flirt in front of me?" Kara interrupted with a disgusted expression on her face.

"Flirt? Who is flirting?" Carmen tilted her head left and right.

Similarly, Xu Feng also followed suit and explained, "I think Aunt Kara is hearing things wrong. I didn’t know that speaking the truth counts as flirting."

"Ah, Auntie Kara must have dealt with many hypocrites in the business circle. She can’t stand people being truthful."

Instantly, Kara felt the urge to push these two dog couples to the pool.

’These two are practically inhumane.’ She clicked her tongue.

Still, she must admit that seeing Carmen smiling so much now made her appreciative of Xu Feng.

How long had it been since she last saw such a genuine smile coming from her niece?

Too long...

"Alright, I get that the two of you are lovey-dovey, but you should start socializing if you want to propel your Vanguard Entertainment Group." Kara reminded these two lovebirds of the main objective.

"Yes, Auntie Kara is right." Carmen clasped her hands and quickly wrapped her arms around Xu Feng’s. "Come, these people rarely ever gather together. It’s time for you to promote the company with your glib tongue."

Xu Feng nodded. He placed the wine cup on an empty tray carried by a waiter and followed Kara.

Time quickly went by, and the promotion could be said to be quite successful.

Although not everyone was familiar with Xu Feng or the Vanguard Guild in general, they were quite familiar with the latest short drama that had broken a billion views.

"Actor Xu Feng’s acting skills really opened my eyes. How did you achieve that without going to any acting school?"

"I suppose this is what people call natural talent."

"Indeed, and to even know someone like Miss Kara. You’re destined for greatness."

It was this particular sentence that made Xu Feng understand one thing. The billion views were merely a supporting tool. The main point was Kara’s status and reputation.

As if he realized his plight, Carmen’s grip tightened a bit, and she leaned closer to him.

In response, Xu Feng gently patted her hand. He wasn’t going to be disappointed or feel humiliated.

Such scenarios... he had dealt with way worse in the past timeline.

In the past timeline, he didn’t even have the right to strike a conversation with any one of them.

Kara also seemed a bit dissatisfied with this particular group, so she ended the conversation short.

Once they moved to a quieter place, she apologized on their behalf.

"These people are at the top hierarchy. Don’t take their words too much to mind."

"Aunt Kara is mistaken." Xu Feng smiled warmly. He shifted his attention to the large crowd.

At first glance, it seemed like people were socializing and chatting happily. But on a closer inspection, one could see the people were only socializing with those of similar status to them.

And as soon as one unqualified person accidentally stumbled into their circle, scorn and disdain were visible, albeit in a subtle manner.

After all, they couldn’t openly tell them to scram, which would ruin their face, aka reputation.

"This is the prelude to the Film Festival." Kara suddenly changed the topic. "Once a connection is established, you will be considered a proper candidate to win. Although I quite enjoy your short drama, I suggest not putting much hope in winning."

"Auntie Kara!" Carmen raised her tone.

She didn’t appreciate her bringing up this discussion.

"Don’t look at me like that, Carmen. I’m sure this young man had long understood the ins and outs already." Kara explained.

Indeed, the so-called film festival was merely a facade to the public.

Nominations, winners, and whatnots were all decided in this social gathering.

"I—"

Before Xu Feng could reply that he understood that this was just an opportunity to bring their company to light, a person suddenly intruded on them.

"Miss Kara, is your company faltering so much that you need to bring in people like him to this event?"

"Edgar Sandoval..." Kara’s mood quickly soured. She narrowed her eyes and glanced at him with a disdainful gaze.

"He’s Edgar Sandoval, heir of Razor Technology," Carmen whispered softly to Xu Feng.

’Razor Technology?’ Xu Feng pondered for a few moments before remembering Razor Technology operated on the Divine World in the name Razor Nightmare—a Super Guild status.

Just when Xu Feng realized this information, Edgar Sandoval also flashed a fake smile toward him.

"I suppose this must be the Vanguard Guild Honorary Elder Cool Wind. It’s very nice to meet you. I’m Edgar, and the current Guild Leader of Razor Nightmare."
