Chapitre 85: Precious gifts, Ancestral Rites

Ethan watched as one by one the rich guests bestowed him with various extravagant gifts before leaving the hall as a small hill of minor prized treasures accumulated beside the stage on a mahogany table. 

These gifts consisted of rare and finest fabrics, jewels, perfumes, silk, artifacts, swords, bows, and a lot more. 

Ethan was wide-eyed seeing such extravagance as the guests wore flattering smiles looking at him as they presented their gifts, praised the arrangements of the banquet, and bid farewell. 

They were all trying to curry favor with him. Ethan couldn't understand, and although his progress with the Ancestral Blessing was quite impressive, no one knew this truth. 

Ethan 'allegedly' had a lot of potential to become powerful but right now there were practically no signs of that happening. Who knew if Ethan would truly live up to the expectations or not? Then why are all these people acting this way? Ethan thought.
