When A Mage Revolts

Chapter 78: The Overbearing Chairman and the Girl With A Tooth Gap

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After hearing what the System had to say, Benjamin was silent.

This drama had carried on for far too long.

After some thought, he could not help but look at the girl that got cornered against the wall. Benjamin was a soft persimmon in the past, and a soft persimmon bullying a soft persimmon, how lowly was this girl in the noblemanʼs circle?

These two boys that surrounded her probably did not intend to ask her to a dance.

A pity.

Thus, at this moment, the redheaded girl suddenly pushed Benjamin, and shook her head angrily, ”I didn’t think you were this kind of person. You would not help her get out of a tough situation. I’ve judged you wrongly, fuckboy, farewell!”

She concluded her speech, swung her hair and walked away.

”...”

The surrounding people gave him a weird look.

Benjamin felt helpless.

He had no clue; if someone was to be blamed, it was the System because it did not tell Benjamin that he had an ex-fiancée ---- Elizabeth.

”... How could she leave like that, what about her limited edition handbag?” Benjamin was in disbelief but could only grumble to himself and shift his attention to the handbag.

”Fifteen minutes were up, she left on the dot to the second!” the System replied.

Awesome.

Benjamin helplessly shrugged his shoulders and ignored the redheaded girl. He had his ex-fiance, Elizabeth locked in his sights. The two men were still cornering Elizabeth and looked like they would not leave her alone.

Benjamin frowned upon seeing this.

This was clearly bullying of a female.

Benjamin quickly made a decision. He could not bear being a bystander anymore. He had to get her out of this situation.

He placed the champagne on the table next to him, and walked over.

”Hey, tooth gap girl, look around, is there anyone willing to dance with you? It’s your honour we invited you to dance. How dare you refuse us?”

One of the boys said this to Elizabeth, and edged closer to her every moment.

Right at this moment.

”Who said there was no one willing to dance with her?”

Benjamin walked pass and pushed that boy’s hand away. That boy was unprepared, with a shove, he almost fell over.

Before everyone could react, he smiled and reached out his hand for Elizabeth.

”My fair lady, forgive me for my intrusion, would you care to dance with me?”

To be honest, after doing all these, Benjamin felt as if he morphed into some overbearing chairman that was trying to save a Cinderella.

The people around were busybodies and attracted to this scene, as if a good show was playing.

”You…..” The boy that was shoved away seemed to be rather angry, but when he turned around and saw Benjamin’s face, the words he were about to speak were shoved back down his throat.

”This lady does not wish to dance with you both, yet you are still bothering her, how uncouth.” Benjamin maintained a poker face while saying this to the both of them.

He was not afraid of having conflict with these two. All this time spent in military training had given himself enough confidence.

The expression on the boy’s face changed upon hearing Benjamin’s speech, as if he was hesitating. The other boy patted him on the shoulder and said, ”Leave it, father said not to offend Grant Lithur, let’s go.”

He said this softly, but Benjamin was still able to hear him from the proximity.

”...”

Grant again.

How much did he look alike to Grant, why did everyone that saw him would mistake him for Grant?

Benjamin was unsatisfied that the boy was easily persuaded by his companion. The boy glanced at Benjamin and Elizabeth with frustration, but did not speak a word, turned around, and left.

The excited crowd had disappointed looks on their faces, turned their gazes away, and went about their own business.

Benjamin saw that being mistaken as Grant had its benefits.

At least, he avoided another meaningless conflict.

”Sorry, I should have came to your help earlier.” He turned around and faced Elizabeth, rubbing his nose, awkwardly saying,” Well….are you alright?”

Elizabeth stared at his face blankly, speechless.

Her stare made Benjamin feel weird.

…...What was going on?

Was there something on his face?

But, it was his first time seeing her from this distance. After seeing her clearly, Benjamin’s first thought was suspicion: this girl seemed not too bad looking, why was Benjamin eager to cancel their marriage?

Elizabeth appeared to Benjamin to be a rather weak and slender lady.
