Not just Max. All the students who had been annoyed by Darrin's attitude earlier began to smile hearing the waiter who charged everything to him.

"Wow, it looks like an exciting show just started!" they whispered to each other.

"Yes, I want to know what that stupid and poor young man will do now! Hahaha!"

They couldn't imagine how Darrin could pay for all this.

"The furthest he can go is to offer himself to work as a servant here for free for the rest of his life!"

Tom, who was sitting very close to Max, spoke up.

Because his words were loud enough, all the students heard them and then laughed.

Hahaha!

"You don't need to pay with a credit card! We also accept cash payments!"

Although the waiter said it gently, his facial expression showed that he was also mocking Darrin.

"A poor person like you wants to deal with young master Bennett? You must have lost your mind!"

The waiter thought that even if Darrin had a credit card, its limit certainly wouldn't reach ten thousand dollars. Meanwh

    Darrin remained unmoved.Instead, he continued to sip his wine until the glass was empty, then he spoke casually."I just said that I didn't bring any cash, but that doesn't mean I won't pay!"That statement only made everyone sneer at him even more."You didn't bring any cash, so what will you use to pay? Don't tell me you're going to pay with your body?"Everyone continued to laugh, their mockery of Darrin growing increasingly intense.Of course, they were doing this to save themselves. By doing so, they were shifting the responsibility of paying onto Darrin.Darrin shook his head.Growing weary of their insults, he took out his wallet and pulled out a black card."As you wish, I'll pay for everything."Darrin placed the card on the small tray provided by the waiter.However, when Darrin pulled out the card, everyone started mocking him even more."Wow, is he pulling out a toy card? Hahaha! Look how ridiculous he is!"Everyone laughed, pushing Darrin further into a corner.How could

    It was a very familiar voice to the servant.He immediately turned his head toward the door where the voice originated.Not only the servant, but the students also turned their heads in that direction.At the door, a very young girl, around 24 years old, was staring at the servant and then slowly stepped toward him.With the black formal shirt and blazer she was wearing, her appearance looked very elegant and authoritative.Not only that. Seeing her upright posture and firm speech, it seemed she held a high position in this place."Why are you yelling at a customer? Have you forgotten that such behavior is prohibited in this hotel?"Luxury has very strict rules regarding customer service.Everyone, from top executives to the lowest level employees, must serve visitors very well, politely, and courteously.Violating this principle would result in severe punishment for the involved party."Forgive me, Miss Parker!"The servant immediately faced the girl and bowed."I admit I made a mist

    Seeing Ruby remain silent, Max then opened his mouth as well.“Miss, be careful with the young man in front of you! He is very dangerous! Not only has he often extorted a girl, but he also once tried to assault her!”As he said these words, Max’s lips curled into a cunning grin.The girl he was talking about was, of course, Emily, who was now sitting beside him.Nevertheless, as if not caring about the girl’s feelings, he still said those words without any hesitation.“I can only give you a bit of advice not to be deceived by him!”Not only Max, but all the students now had very wide smiles on their faces.They were happy because it seemed Darrin would get into trouble soon.Not only that.It looked like Max would take responsibility for the payment, so they were relieved from paying for the exorbitantly priced food and drinks.Ruby ignored Max’s words. Instead, she carefully picked up the card on the tray.At that moment, her body became even tenser.She still remembered one of the m

    "Pack your things right now and never come back here again!"Ruby was actually known as a very caring manager to her subordinates. She had never even scolded them before, let alone fired one of them in public like this.However, this time what the servant did was truly outrageous. Not only did he dare to speak harshly and yell at Darrin, but he also called the young man a fraud."If I don't take firm action now, who knows what Mr. Carson will think about the Luxury Hotel?"That was what was on the girl's mind.She did not want the hotel's reputation as being very customer-friendly to be tarnished because of the servant's attitude. Especially since the person the servant disturbed was Darrin, undoubtedly the richest person in this country.Ruby then turned back towards Darrin."Mr. Carson, if you don't mind, would you please come with me?"Ruby said this very gently and politely, as if she were a subordinate speaking to her superior."Of course!"Darrin said nothing more, rising from h

    Ruby took Darrin into the elevator and pressed the button for the 45th floor, the highest floor in the hotel.So far, only the hotel owner or other super important people were allowed to set foot there.While in the elevator, Darrin remained silent, not saying anything. He didn't know where this girl was taking him. However, he didn't care. The higher he ascended floor by floor in this hotel, the more he felt happy and excited.On the other hand, Ruby, standing next to Darrin, felt various emotions mixed in her heart.On one side, she felt a bit tense and awkward.How could she not? The richest person in the country was right next to her. Not only was he young, even a bit younger than her, but he was also very handsome.Nevertheless, as someone who had no influence or wealth in front of Darrin, she knew she wasn't allowed to start a conversation unless he initiated it.On the other side, Ruby couldn't hide her admiration for Darrin as well."I can't believe someone with the highest we

    Ruby's face immediately turned red upon hearing Darrin's words."What? Accompany him? Could it be that he... is interested in me?"Ruby had all the qualities required for a girl to attract any man's attention.She had a very proportional figure, standing at 175 cm tall.Moreover, her skin was white, smooth, and very clean, as if there wasn't a single blemish on it.Not only that, but her face was also very beautiful, even surpassing top actresses and models in the capital.The girl also earned an MBA at the age of 19 and became the youngest manager of Luxury two years later.All these characteristics matched her name, Ruby, like a beautiful gemstone.Nevertheless, she had never fallen in love or dated anyone in her life.When she saw Darrin for the first time, she felt something strange in her heart. She wanted to spend more time with the young man.Never mind accompanying him for a night, even if she had to spend her whole life with him, ... it seemed the manager was also willing."P

    Ruby looked very tense."Mr. Carson, I beg your pardon! I think I have to leave right now! Mr. Zhang is here!"Hearing that name, Darrin frowned."Mr. Zhang? Isn't that the person the girl mentioned earlier? Who exactly is he?"Darrin kept thinking like that for a moment and then nodded to Ruby.When the girl left, Darrin got up from his chair.Seeing the girl's expression, he somehow had a feeling that something was wrong."I better follow her!" he muttered.In Darrin's mind, if Ruby was so afraid of this person named Edwin, the man must not be someone to be taken lightly.Moreover, if this man was really interested in acquiring the hotel, then it seemed that Darrin had a formidable rival.Not only that.Seeing the expression Ruby showed, Darrin was convinced that Edwin was not a good man.Ruby exited the elevator and headed straight to the main restaurant on the first floor.When she entered the room, the tables that were previously full of patrons were now empty.According to Edwin

    Darius lowered his head.On the one hand, he loved this hotel dearly, and Ruby was like a daughter to him. He also knew how evil and cunning Edwin was.On the other hand, there was nothing Darius could do. His debts were too great. He could only hope that the money from the sale of this hotel would cover the interest on his debt and he could use the rest as additional capital."Of course, Mr. Zhang! I will be happy to sell this hotel to you!""Good, quickly prepare all the documents! I don't have much time!"Edwin said in a commanding tone while puffing on the cigar in his hand."All right, I will get them ready right away!"Darius then looked towards Ruby and nodded.The girl understood the gesture and immediately left the scene.Like Darius, Ruby also didn't want Luxury to change ownership.Not for any particular reason.For her, this hotel was more than just a place to work. It was like a second home. However, there was nothing she could do.Ruby went to the main office on the seco

    Darrin nodded. "I understand, my queen."The way Darrin answered made Helena blush again. She was now confident that she could give the item to him.Once the earring was in his hand, Darrin removed the green gem that was its pendant and attached it to his Moreau necklace.Green and red light emanated from the necklaces, reaching as far as the clouds and piercing them.At that moment, a light appeared from behind the clouds. Moments later, a female figure, adorned in gold from head to toe, smiled at him. Darrin immediately knelt down, for the woman's features indicated that she was the Moon Goddess Fenrisar had described."Since you have completed your first trial, accept this as your reward." The goddess raised the golden staff in her hand, and a golden ray descended to the earth and merged with Darrin's body.The goddess then vanished. But Darrin felt something strange happening to his body.He raised his hand and saw it transform into water, fire, earth, air, and all the elements of

    "Why? Why are you doing this? No!"Splash!Darrin's scream faded as his body fell into the water. But the scream continued to echo in his heart even as his body began to sink to the bottom of the lake."Why did you sacrifice yourself for me? Why didn't you let me do it for you?"Darrin felt completely devastated. Not only because he had failed to protect the princess, but also because he had failed to protect his other loved ones before."Why does everyone close to me have to suffer such a tragic fate? Why can't I protect them?"The regret and grief grew stronger in his heart as his body sank deeper into the lake.At the same time, he felt his chest tighten and it became difficult to breathe. It seemed that Helena's plan to save Darrin would end in failure, as the young man's weakened body made it impossible for him to use any internal energy or technique to help him breathe.Darrin understood this, and it only deepened his regret."If only you had gone into the lake instead, perhaps

    "Greetings to you, Mother!" The Dark Knight could not contain the joy in his heart as he saw the young woman rise from the ground and look in his direction. "I-I know you may not have expected us to rouse you from your slumber. But..."The Dark Knight did not hesitate to reveal his intentions to the young woman who was, after all, his biological mother. "We've been going through a lot of trouble lately, and we need your help."The Dark Knight continued to pour his heart out. Although it had been a long time since he had last spoken to his mother, he was not embarrassed to say anything."Mother, there's one more thing I want to ask you. It's about the position of Prime Minister in the kingdom. Since I'm the one who woke you up, would you be willing to give me that position?"All this time, the Dark Knight had seemed obedient to Theobaldus, or even to his nephew Nicolaus. Yet deep in his heart, he held a grudge against them."But I hope you don't misunderstand. I don't want the title. I

    Chapter 342 - Finding the Vial

    Spurt!At the edge of the lake, Darrin vomited large amounts of water from his mouth after Helena had pumped his chest several times. After that, it was clear that Darrin was gasping for air, as if he had run out of oxygen. But he still couldn't open his eyes."Darrin, wake up!""Wake up, Darrin!"He faintly heard a soft and melodious voice in his ear. At the same time, a gentle hand stroked his cheek.When Darrin finally managed to open his eyes, he saw a beautiful figure sitting right in front of him."Your Highness..."Helena was no longer wearing the leather mask that had sunk to the bottom of the lake. With her hair and clothes still wet, she looked exceptionally beautiful."Thank goodness you're awake!" Helena couldn't hide the happiness on her face as she saw the young man begin to open his eyes. Darrin might not be able to see it, but the feelings in the princess's heart for him had grown much deeper and stronger than before.Earlier, when Helena had seen Nicolaus about to hit

    When Hector left Arcadia, he probably never imagined that his plans would change so quickly. Originally, he intended to take the vial, give it to Darrin and leave. Unexpectedly, he lost Darrin sooner than he expected.And after seeing the cold form of Queen Marielle lying in the coffin, it was as if he could see the end of the world through her. This sight only strengthened his resolve."All right, one more time!" Hector had made up his mind to destroy the vial. No matter what he had to do, no matter how great the sacrifice, he would do it.Catching his breath and releasing his right hand that had been held by his left, Hector tried to rise from his sitting position, preparing for the next attack."Don't even think about trying that again, because I won't just stand by!" Nicolaus pointed his finger at Hector's face from the other end. Apparently, he was not ready to give up so easily either. "I will destroy you, or vice versa!"Both men had suffered severe injuries to their right hand

    The incident threw the top of the tower into chaos. The mages immediately rushed to the stairs and descended hastily. Meanwhile, the soldiers below stood on alert. They did not approach the top of the tower, nor did they dare do so without Nicolaus' orders. But they were ready at a moment's notice."Darrin!" Hector shouted, clenching both fists. He knew how devastating the strike of a cultivator at the peak of the King level could be when unleashed at full power. As he had just witnessed.On the other side, as if Hector's presence meant nothing to him, Nicolaus rose from his kneeling position, clutching the vial in his hand. His face was dark and expressionless. As he moved toward the coffin, he himself opened the grandmother's mouth."Nicolaus, I beg you, at least listen to my explanation!" Hector fought to control his anger, trying to speak to the ruler of Green Island with a cool head. "I don't want to force you to change your mind, but please listen to me."Nicolaus lifted his eye

    Nicolaus asked gently, a smile on his face. His demeanor naturally made Helena feel a little more at ease, allowing her to speak her heart without fear."Yes, Your Majesty. I am very worried that he won't be able to cure them without this medicine. Therefore, I would be very grateful if you could spare a little for him."Helena spoke with bright eyes, as if she was doing something very important for herself. But at that moment, her face suddenly tensed. "Oh no, what did I just say?" she thought to herself. "I made a huge mistake!"And just as she had feared, Nicolaus' face turned red. Extremely red."My God, what will happen now?" As she thought this, Helena could see the change in the king's expression. It was clear that he was suppressing his anger."So it's true what I thought," Nicolaus said in a trembling and frightened tone. "The one in your heart is that bastard, not me! So why did you deceive me with your sweet words?"When Helena accepted Nicolaus' proposal and agreed to marr

    Nicolaus said nothing but lowered his head."Nico, tell me, is this girl the one you're looking for?" Theobaldus shouted, anger and frustration evident in his voice.On the one hand, they had lost the potion, and the position of the full moon in the sky had shifted. Even if they found the potion and revived the queen, it would still be a grave sin for them.On the other hand, he was furious with his nephew for being so blinded by love."You sacrificed the future of the kingdom for a girl? Since when did you become so weak?"His anger made him forget the rule of not speaking ill of anyone in this sacred place."Tell me, are you...""Yes, I am looking for her, uncle. I really am," Nicolaus shouted back.He hated himself for being weak because of his feelings for the girl. But deep in his heart he believed that Helena was really there."I didn't just hear her voice. I could smell her scent. I'm sure it's the same scent I smelled this morning!""What?"Suddenly, Theobaldus jumped. Not bec

    Chapter 337 - The Unexpected Appearance

    The chanting of the mages grew louder as the full moon crept a few degrees from its perfect alignment above the tower. They continued to recite a birthing spell, hoping for the best in the queen's resurrection.After nearly half an hour, the mages suddenly shouted in unison, "Queen Marielle is heaven, and she will bless us forever!"Their chant echoed throughout the island. A second later, Nicolaus, Theobaldus, and all the soldiers guarding the area shouted the same mantra. "Queen Marielle is heaven, and she will always bless us!"When the echo of the voices died down, the moon was directly above the tower, illuminating the face and body of Queen Marielle as she lay in the glass coffin.Nicolaus and Theobaldus rose from their positions on the floor and approached the coffin."Greetings to you, Mother. Queen, ruler of the universe, and grace to the world." As he spoke, Theobaldus kissed the queen on the cheek.At that moment, there was a stark contrast between Queen Marielle and Theoba
