After giving her Shu's address, he separated from her since Keia said that she needed to change her clothes. He also needed to go back to the Hall where Shu was probably waiting for him.
Both of them bid farewell to each other before Ryder went inside the Hall.
As he entered the Hall, he could feel a hostile gaze looking at him.
Rahil, the son of Major General Raul, was standing in the distance, glaring at him as if he wanted to eat him.
'What?" Ryder asked Rahil as he frowned.
"You didn't do the right thing. It would be best if you didn't mess with me, or you will regret it," Rahil threatened Ryder as he pointed his finger towards Ryder's face.
"Sigh, little guy. I know you're in the army, and you think you're tough, but don't point your finger at me. You might find yourself on the floor if you didn't stop with this idiocy," Ryder let out in an annoyed tone as he slapped the man's hand away and sat on the table in front of Shu.
*Thump*
"You Bastard! You dare to show off!" Rahil yelled as he smashed his fist on the table in front of Ryder.
Shu was eating comfortably when Rahil's hand smashed on the table, making the glass of water that was in front of Shu fall down.
Shu was already annoyed that Rahil was disturbing him and Ryder, and this finally made his anger reach overboard.
He stood up as he wiped his hand from a tissue paper. He didn't look towards Rahil; instead, he looked towards Major General Raul, who was Rahil's father.
" Major General Raul, you should keep your son in control. I'm not saying anything, but that doesn't mean he can do whatever the hell he wants with my brother and me. Don't forget who I am! You're not the only Major General that I know and deal with! I came here to have fun with my brother and take part in a birthday celebration, not to face a bickering kid! This is my last warning! If he still doesn't calm down, then he won't be in the army by tomorrow, and you damn well know that you can't stop me from getting him removed from the army!" Shu thundered. His voice echoed in the entire chamber.
Most of the people that were present here knew about Shu and knew his strength and power. Some of them had even worked with him, as well. They were shocked to see Shu like that. Shu had been the calmest and calculating person that had known. To see him get angry was the first time for them.
Almost everyone knew that Shu was the Owner of the Dream Corporation, which was one of the largest weapons suppliers in the world. They Were a giant conglomerate, and Shu Maxwell was on top of this massive Giant. When they heard Shu's threat to have Major General Raul's son removed from the army, they knew that it wasn't just a fake threat. If he came to it, he could actually achieve it.
All of them looked at Major General Raul with pity in their eyes. They knew that he had no choice but to back off at the moment.
Major General Raul looked at Shu with shock as well before he shifted his gaze to Rahil.
"Rahil, come back! Why do you keep annoying them? Come sit at your own table!" he scolded Rahil.
"But dad-"
"No buts! Come sit down at your table! We're at someone's birthday celebration here! Don't you know how you should behave! Stop messing around and sit down silently."
Rahil was about to argue that it was Ryder's fault, but Major General Raul cut off the sentence of his son as he continued scolding him.
Rahil looked back at Ryder before he snorted. He went back to his seat, begrudgingly.
"I apologize for my son's behavior. He seemed to have forgotten how he should've behaved," Major General Raul apologized to Shu as well.
Shu didn't reply as he simply sat down on the table.
He continued eating the tasty food placed before him again.
Major General Raul walked back to his table and sat down beside his son.
"Man, that was my first time seeing you angry. I like it," Ryder smiled as he praised Shu.
" That kid was just too arrogant. I don't like being arrogant or showing off, but when someone like him messes with my eating, I can't control my temper. I'm sorry for showing you this unsightly sight," Shu told Ryder with a wry smile on his face.
"I can understand how you felt. I was about to smack his face on the table when you stood up, shocking me. I must say, I think your approach was much better than I would have chosen," Ryder said to Shu as he laughed.
"Hahaha, now I regret standing up. Watching his head on the table would have been much better," Shu started laughing as well.
"Finish fast. It'll soon be the time for the ball dance," Ryder told Shu as he looked at his watch.
" It's my last plate. I'm done after this. I must say, I don't eat this much since I want to get slimmer, but this stuff is really tasty, and I can feel my body getting stronger as well. I'm impressed at the food they have," Shu said as he smiled.
Rahil was still looking at Ryder. As he watched Ryder and Shu laugh, he could feel his heart burn. He was getting angrier and angrier.
'I'll teach you a real lesson one day. You should pray you never get in my hands alone,' Rahil thought as he glared at Ryder.
Ryder could see Rahil glaring at him. He simply raised his middle finger towards Rahil as he smiled to annoy him even more.
"This bastard!" Rahil let out as he clenched his teeth.

A member of the Silva Household arrived in the Hall and told everyone to shift to another Hall for the Ball Dance.
Everyone stood and followed after the person who escorted them to a different Hall. The Hall was even larger than the last hall. There were chairs placed near the wall, but most of the center portion of the hall was empty for dancing.
Ryder and Shu were standing together, waiting for the hosts of the function to arrive.
"Brother Ryder, I am curious about something," Shu suddenly asked Ryder.
"Sure. Go ahead. What do you want to ask?" Ryder inquired as he wondered what Shu was going to ask.
