From Outcast to Overlord The Unyielding Heir Chapter 49 The Class Gathering 39 Finished It was already past 1 a.m. by the time Leander returned to his modest apartment in Ravenridge . Madeline had finished her shift at the bar and was already fast asleep . He moved quietly to enter his room and took out the pouch of shimmering seeds from his jacket . He placed them on his bedside table and pulled out the jade pendant he'd gotten from Raymond . The pendant wasn't just any jade . It was a rare and one - of - a - kind Exquisite Emerald Jade . This type of jade was priceless and nearly impossible to acquire due to its rarity . It stood as one of the finest jade treasures and was exceptionally difficult to unearth . It lay hidden deep underground , nurtured by vast jade deposits . A raw stone the size of half a room might have produced a fragment no larger than a thumb . Such a gem was indeed exceptionally rare in this world . The jade held a pure energy that embodied nature's essence and promoted vitality and well- being , which Leander needed . Leander crushed the pendant to powder with a single grip . A visible light blue droplet oozed out from it . After that , he spread his fingers slightly and summoned a brilliant flame that surged from his palm as he swallowed the droplet . The droplet melted instantly into a gentle flow , which he then spread over the translucent seeds . In an instant , the hundreds of seeds radiated with vibrant life and became even more robust . Leander nodded as he looked at the plump seeds . Looks like it's time to plant these . Early the next morning , he had breakfast ready by the time Madeline woke up . Her face lit up when she saw him . " Leander , you're back from Crestgate ? " she asked with excitement . Leander had mentioned to her the previous day that he'd be heading there . " Yeah , let's eat . We've got to head to school , " he replied with a smile and handed her a glass of milk . Madeline asked Leander what he had gone to Crestgate for as they ate . He gave her a vague excuse to avoid the real reason . Later , they arrived at class together . Leander shot off a quick text to Frankie and asked him to set up a plot of land in Tardide Valley for planting . 1/4 19:31 Sat , Oct 11 Chapter 49 The Class Gathering Frankie responded promptly and promised to take care of it immediately . Finished Leander couldn't help but think of the dreams that she had shared with him as he glanced at Madeline in the front row . He sighed inwardly . I need to help her reach her goal before I can head to Tardide Valley and plant the Silverleaf . His mind raced and already pieced together how he could pave the way for her future . Liam nudged him with a mischievous grin just as he lost himself in thought . " Leander , we're having a class dinner tonight , and I've got someone special lined up to introduce you to . " Leander frowned . " Class dinner ? Why haven't I heard about it ? " Liam chuckled . " It's been a tradition since we were freshmen . We get together every last weekend of the month . You're still new , so you wouldn't know . " Leander shrugged . " Who are you introducing me to ? " Liam's grin widened . " My junior high crush . She agreed to come tonight and join us . Dude , she might not be on the same level as Yvette or Madeline , but she's definitely one of the prettiest girls around . I'm planning to make her mine after tonight ! " Leander couldn't help but laugh at Liam's excitement . " You're that confident , huh ? " Liam puffed out his chest , brimming with confidence . " Of course ! I hang out with you , and you're practically the king of knowing beautiful girls . I can't fall too far behind! " Leander chuckled and shook his head . " Alright , stop joking around . I'm not a gang leader . What do you think you're doing with me ? Just bring her over tonight first ." The rest of the school day passed in its usual monotony . Leander was shaken awake by Madeline by the time class ended . " Come on , Leander . It's time for the class dinner . Let's go . " The scene ignited anger among the boys in the class , especially Victor , whose fists clenched in fury . The impression Leander had left on him during their last encounter in the combat club lingered . He still had no chance to reclaim his pride . Jade Dempsey noticed Victor's frustration and hurried over to comfort him . " Victor , don't let him get to you . He may have some knowledge about fighting , but that's all he's got . Madeline even paid for him to attend tonight's dinner . You and Leander will be worlds apart once graduation's over . He'll never be able to catch up to you . " 2/4 19:31 Sat , Oct 11 Chapter 49 The Class Gathering 32 Finished Victor's expression remained cold . He knew she was right . After all , he'd be heading to one of the top universities in Astria with his grades . He'd be far ahead of Leander after graduating and taking over his father's business , but the thought of losing to him at school gnawed at his pride . The class dinner was held at Cascade House , which was a well - known restaurant near the Ravenridge Convention Center . Jade , who had arranged the dinner , had reserved two large private rooms , which were enough to comfortably seat fifty people . As soon as Madeline and Leander walked in , a group of girls immediately surrounded Madeline . However , he wasn't one for attention , so he found a seat in the corner . He would've skipped this gathering altogether if it weren't for Madeline and Liam insisting on his attendance . Liam took the seat beside him , and the two of them chatted for a while before Liam's phone rang . " Hello , Shirley . Have you arrived ? I'll be right down to get you ! " he said , practically bouncing with excitement . Liam turned to Leander after hanging up and was barely able to contain his glee . " She's here , Leander . I'm going to go get her ! " He bolted out of the room with that . A few minutes later , he returned with a girl by his side . The girl was tall and slender . She wore fashionable clothes and exuded a charming vibe . She was certainly more attractive than Jade but not as stunning as Madeline . This made her a rare beauty . The classmates let out a playful cheer as soon as she entered . Liam was clearly proud and introduced her with a grin . " Everyone , this is my junior high deskmate , Shirley Wright ! " Shirley greeted the group with a polite wave . " Welcome ! " Beautiful girls were always welcomed , so the classmates greeted her with smiles . After the introductions , Liam invited Shirley to sit next to Leander . " Shirley , let me introduce you to my good friend Leander ! " Liam spread his hands and pointed at Leander . He had already told Shirley on the way here that he would introduce a very impressive friend to her today . Shirley's gaze shifted toward Leander . He smiled and nodded to acknowledge her . She responded politely while discreetly observing him . 3/4 19:31 Sat , Oct 11 Chapter 49 The Class Gathering 32 #Finished She momentarily paused when she saw Leander's handsome face . However , a hint of disappointment crossed her expression as she noticed his casual and simple attire . Send Gifts 50 B ΛΙΛ
