Chapter 1397 Tomb Sweeping on Winter Solstice
The entire Pompeii set up more than a thousand tables, and the banquet was grand and unprecedented.
All of Leo’s good friends and comrades came. Leo received gifts and they were generous. Leo actually received several million.
But it was a headache for Leo when he went to make a toast. With over a thousand tables, a toast at each table would have cost Leo’s life.
So the old butler came up with the best idea. He arranged for Leo to go to the high stage and toast over a thousand tables with three bowls of white wine in a row from a large bowl.
The old man then called out over the radio, “Be quiet, everyone ! As there are too many tables, our Commander of Wyverns is unable to toast them one by one. Even if he can drink like the King of the Sea, it will go on until dawn. So what about toasting to you with three bowls of wine by our Commander of Wyverns?”
“Well!”
The crowd was boisterous and shouted loudly.
Leo was dressed in a suit, and the old man and one of his men, poured him three bowls of wine.
Leo held up a bowl of wine, raised it high above his head and said loudly, “Thank you brothers for always supporting me, for being like brothers for so many years. without your support, I would be nothing, so I thank you all very much for your love. Now I’ll toast you all with three bowls of wine, cheers!”
“Cheers!”
The crowd all stood up and accompanied Leo to drink three bowls of wine in a row.
However, when it was Cecil’s turn to toast with Erin, Leo was sweating for him.
After all, Cecil was very honest and straightforward, and would always drink when there was wine.
But there was no need to worry about Cecil because Little Jack had brought thousands of his brothers and together they helped Cecil drink.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
By the time the 1, 000 tables had been toasted, it was really late in the evening.
Leo and Cecil’s father frequently guessed and drank, and the two were happy, but in the end both of them were drunk.
That night Lydia chartered several hotels for the guests to stay.
…
The next day, the banquet was over and everyone dispersed, going back to their places.
After a week, Cecil and Leo vigorously renovated the martial arts school. After six months, the martial arts school was decorated like a palace.
Leo invested nearly $100 billion in the school.
Leo named the school Pompeii Leo Martial Arts School.
Immediately afterwards, various websites and television stations competed to broadcast reports of the grand opening of Pompeii Leo Martial Arts School.
Vice President Lee of the Red Wall Temple Association personally came to cut the ribbon.
The whole of Pompeii then became a sensation and they sent their children to Pompeii Leo Martial Arts School in droves.
As there were tens of thousands people enrolled, Leo had to select the best.
Some children with good physique and martial arts talent were selected to be students.
The rest who were not selected had to wait for the next batch.
Leo also had a headache, because he couldn’t bring over so many students, so he had to get Nadine Moore and Martial Maestro to be the teachers.
Leo finally understood that everything depends on a team, so he started to post online to recruit martial arts experts to become teachers at his school.
After posting the news online, there were many people who applied to be instructors, and Leo personally tested the recruitment and selected ten persons at once.
Some of them were not inferior to Leo in terms of martial arts.
Leo said with great emotion, “There are so many martial arts masters who are almost hidden from view in Pompeii. Most of them don’t do it for fame or profit, but they are cultivating in silence, just being inheritors of the martial arts.”
…
Tomorrow is the winter solstice again, and Leo is going to make a winter solstice sacrifice for Ariella.
He then bought a lot of meat and vegetables, as well as firecrackers, paper, incense and candles, and prepared to drive to Peach Blossom Island.
Suddenly, Leo’s phone rang, and when he saw that it was from Queen Alyssa, he immediately picked it up and smiled, “Hello, Queen Alyssa, what are your instructions?”
Queen Alyssa laughed and said, “Where are you?”
Leo laughed, “I’m in Pompeii.”
Queen Alyssa laughed, “I am also at the airfield in Pompeii , outside the airfield. Hurry up and pick me up, then you accompany me to meet Ariella, I want to visit her grave.”
Leo was stunned and laughed, “That’s fine, I’ll come to meet you right away.”
In a whirl, Leo drove off towards the airport.
Half an hour later, Leo drove to the airfield.
Queen Alyssa was standing pitifully at the entrance of the airport and looking around.
She was dressed beautifully today, in a beautiful kimono, the colour of which was set off by red and white cherry blossoms.
Her hair was up in a high bun, showing off her long, snow-white neck, and her face was snow-white and crystal clear.
Queen Alyssa was actually quite beautiful and tall, 1. 67 metres with a firm figure.
She looked like a fairy descending from the earth and drew the attention of passers-by to look at her.
“This woman from Tokyo is so beautiful.”
“How does it look like the Queen of Tokyo? The one I watched on TV was called Queen Alyssa?”
“Impossible! If it’s really her, she would have brought a lot of guards with her.”
“Yeah, she will do so.”
While people on the roadside were chattering and commenting on Queen Alyssa, Leo drove over, stopped, opened the door, walked up to Queen Alyssa and smiled, “Why are you frowning.”
The sad-faced Queen Alyssa puffed out a smile when she saw Leo, “I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”
Leo asked suspiciously, “Are you alone? Where’s your guards?”
Queen Alyssa said with a smile, “I’m here to travel, why should I bring a guard? You are here in Pompeii, can’t you protect me?”
Leo cried and laughed, thinking that her words made sense, so he laughed, “Why didn’t you call earlier when you were here, in case I wasn’t there? You’ll have a headache.”
Queen Alyssa laughed out loud and said, “I usually don’t like to call people in advance to inform them. I usually give them a surprise first.”
Saying that, Queen Alyssa followed Leo to the car. The two of them sat down and Leo said with a puzzled look on his face, “How do you know that today is the winter solstice tomb sweeping? Is this also a custom in your country?”
Queen Alyssa smiled with red lips and white teeth and said, “Our customs over there are exactly the same as yours in Pompeii. By the way, take me to the superstition shop to buy some superstitions. I want to personally help Sister Ariella make offerings.”
On hearing this, Leo drove to the superstition shop again, and when they arrived at the shop, Queen Alyssa bought a whole bunch of them, stuffing Leo’s back compartment to the brim.
With that, the two drove to Peach Blossom Island.
On the way, Queen Alyssa sighed and said, “Sister Ariella, helped me too much. It seems that I can only pay her back in the next life. She borrowed 100 billion dollars to lend me. I don’t know how I will pay her back in the future.”
Leo sighed and said, “It’s all right. You and she are bosom friends, you can use this money.”
Queen Alyssa sighed and said in a deep voice, “I don’t need to use the money. She loves children in her life, whenever she sees them, she always looks envious. Since he likes children so much, I want to use her money to build an orphanage in your Pompeii to help all the orphaned and homeless children.”
