The receptionist looked at Severin in awe. She found him to be quite handsome, and she had no idea which wealthy family was he from to have so many beautiful women around him."Sir, I'm sorry, but we no longer have any ordinary rooms available. Only luxury suites are available right now, but they're on the pricier side." The receptionist said with a smile.Megan's expression soured as she retorted, "What are you trying to imply by that? Do you think that we're unable to afford a luxury suite? How expensive are they, anyway?""One suite costs three thousand dollars a night!""That's super expensive!" Megan was taken aback by the price.The receptionist then explained, "These luxury suites weren't that expensive before, but the price has been driven up because the province governor will be celebrating his sixtieth birthday party. Many who come here from other cities or other provinces are wealthy, so this demand for good rooms in expensive hotels makes the room prices go up.""I se
"Yeah, Dad. They were bullies!" Arnie cried out. "You need to get justice for us!""Do you know the name of the person who slapped you?" Ambrose asked.Arnie's mind went blank, but after a moment, he hesitated before saying, "I don't know what his name is, but I know that he's from a different city. He said that he came to Skystream City for business or something like that.""If he's here to do business, then why would he go around offending other people then? How did you run into him?" Ambrose frowned instantly and spoke in a much calmer tone.He knew what kind of person his son was, and he surmised that his son was the one who started things first. After all, it was common sense that a newcomer would avoid causing any trouble if they came to the city for business matters.Arnie then said, "Well, it all started when I saw them looking for a hotel to stay. I offered to let them stay in some of our empty rooms because I saw how difficult it was for them in a new city, and I just wa
"Didn't you tell them that you're the Pearsons' scion? How did they react when they found out?" Ambrose had a feeling that things were not as simple as Arnie made them out to be, and he could not help but question Arnie again.Arnie said, "I did, of course! He said he'll let me off the hook this time, but he'll kill me if he ever sees me again.""Sir, there must be more to that person than meets the eye if he could threaten your son even after being told that about their family background!" The grand-elder immediately said to Ambrose. "Offending a level seven warrior king makes for a very troublesome situation. We have no idea if he has any good friends or relatives that might have the attainment of a level eight warrior king!"Arnie lashed out angrily all of a sudden, "What are you trying to insinuate, Grand-Elder? Am I supposed to just suck it up after being bullied? A slap to my face is a slap to the Pearsons. Besides, he only said that because he doesn't know about the level eig
Arnie could not help but sigh and say, "Let's not talk about it anymore. Neither my dad nor the bodyguards are going to come here. We'll just have to suck it up this time.""No way!" Moby exclaimed in disbelief. "Doesn't your father dote on you all the time? Why would they just let it slide when you were slapped and two of your family's warrior kings were killed?"Arnie smiled bitterly and said, "Well, my dad said the province governor's sixtieth birthday will be celebrated in another two days, and many powerful people will come to our city. He's worried that we might provoke a big shot like a war chief, a province governor, or the son of those people. He told me to just tough it out, and he even held a meeting to tell all our family's youths not to go out and cause any trouble within the coming week. We were told to keep as low a profile as we possibly could!"Moby understood how serious the matter was and nodded immediately. "Okay then. I guess there's nothing we can do about it t
Severin smiled and said to Felicia, "I'm aware that ordinary people will explode and die after eating alchemical pills because they aren't able to bear the energy contained within them. However, this pill is slightly different. The energy contained within it is very mild, and there isn't a lot of energy within the pill either. It's specifically used for beauty enhancement, and it's called a beautifying pill. Its purpose isn't to improve one's attainment, so it lacks the strong energy that is typical of those pills. For those reasons, it is perfectly safe for you to consume.""I see. You got me worried there for a second! I thought you wanted to murder me because I objected to your relationship with Diane." Severin's explanation enlightened Felicia, and she could not help but pat her chest while heaving a sigh of relief."You're overthinking. Why would I do something like that? The only reason you treated me like that back then was because you were worried for Diane, right?" Severin s
Within a short while of arriving at Skystream City, Lucy came to know about the high-end places that the rich tend to frequent. In her spare time, she hung out in those places in nothing but a sexy skirt. Since her figure was smoking hot and she was a very seductive woman, a few rich young men took the initiative to hit on her and ask for her phone number. Some even invited her out for dinner on occasion.However, Lucy knew that those men had plenty of women to choose from, so she sometimes gave them the cold shoulder on purpose and refuse their advances. That way, those rich men would feel that she was different from other women, and their desire to pursue her began even stronger.The one incident that led Lucy's friends to envy her was when a young man from Skystream City's first-tier families fell in love with her. He sent her flowers just a few days ago, invited her to dinner, and even gave her a luxury car worth several hundred thousand dollars as a gift."Is he that scumbag, S
The rich young man was none other than Moby, the overweight friend of Arnie and Dave.Lucy was a little disappointed when she saw that he was a fat man from a third-tier family. Although he came from a rich third-tier family, he was far from handsome and was thus ranked in last place compared to the many other rich young men who were trying to win her heart. She would only consider being with him if the other guys were no longer interested in her.However, since Moby was the scion of a third-tier family, she could only smile at him and say, "It's you, Moby. What a coincidence! Cheryl and I came here to shop, and we didn't expect to meet you here ""I guess you could say this is fate then!" Moby smiled warmly and added, "Are you shopping? What are you going to buy? I'll tag along. Let me know if there's anything you want and I'll buy them for you."Lucy wanted to reject his offer, but she was afraid that he might take her rejection the wrong way and think that she was being rude to
Moby had a proud look. "Don't worry. I'll let my family's elders know right away. We might just be a third-tier family, but we do have a few level six warrior kings, so dealing with that guy shouldn't be much of a problem.""Okay. We'll wait for you right here then!" Lucy said with a smile so pure that it felt like a breath of fresh air.Lucy was undoubtedly a good-looking and experienced woman. Even a simple smile was enough to captivate Moby's heart. Though Moby had seen countless beautiful women in the past, he somehow felt the urge to marry Lucy instead of just having fun with her.Moby stepped to one side and made a phone call, and an old man arrived as expected."Is there anything I can do for you, sir?" The old man immediately asked Moby.Moby smiled and said, "I want you to cripple someone, but his attainment isn't very low. I believe he's a level four or level five warrior king, and you mustn't underestimate him."The old man nodded in response. Moby then asked Lucy, "Is
