The rest of the banquet had nothing to do with Benjamin.
Although people still occasionally cast furtive glances his way, and quite a few were probably weighing whether to use this chance to strike up a conversation, Benjamin did not care.
He remained where he was, making idle small talk with Augusta while finishing the last few formula derivations in his Spirit Sea. Once the wedding had fully concluded and the banquet was underway, Benjamin prepared to take his leave. Before leaving, however, he and Augusta arranged a time for their next meeting.
Augusta looked pleased by his attitude and said she would find time to visit his plane.
But perhaps feeling that her attitude had been too obvious, she instinctively added, "I'm only curious to see what you've made of the prize from that Elite Trial. It isn't because you invited me."
"I understand. Don't worry, I definitely won't disappoint you." Benjamin tactfully did not expose her.
Afterward, Benjamin said goodbye to David as well.
David held his hand and repeated his thanks over and over, until he was nearly at a loss for words.
In the end, David could only give the back of Benjamin's hand a firm pat, his expression so sincere that his eyes had reddened.
Even setting aside Benjamin's earlier display of strength, the technology Benjamin had given them alone had undoubtedly brought David and his wife to the pinnacle of the family's power.
Amid the overly enthusiastic farewell from the Colmar Family head, Benjamin finally stepped onto the teleportation array.
The array patterns lit up, and space warped slightly.
The next moment, the teleportation array's light slowly faded within the main laboratory of the Purgatory Sulfur Plane.
Familiar elemental fluctuations poured back into his senses, while cold blue illumination quietly spread through the room.
