“My valued guests…” Lacles looked at Andrius with a sincere and eager smile. “I, Lacles O’Conner, am deeply grateful for your visit to the Grand Ocean Hotel. I am flattered. “To celebrate your precious arrival, I want to present this precious alcohol collection of mine. I hope everyone will like it.” Lacles then put the two bottles of limited-edition crown-shaped vodka in front of Andrius and Zenith. Then, the man secretly looked at Andrius. Andrius knew the man was presenting the vodkas to him, so he nodded to express his gratitude. Lacles was thrilled. He bowed and then said, “Please enjoy.” He then left the room in relief. Andrius might have resigned from the title of Wolf King, but his connections and background remained strong. What happened to Timothy Kerr was the best proof. A word from the Wolf King could determine one person’s life and death. After Lacles left, everyone in the room was excited. “Damn!” “Young Master Mangold, you are freaking awesome!” “
However, the capital was his territory, and in order to make himself look better, he picked this topic. “Yes.” Harry was surprised before realization struck his mind. The Mangolds were a wealthy family in the capital, thus Zenith must know a lot of famous doctors. If they could get Zenith to introduce one to them, they might be able to secure a good ranking in the Grand Medicinal Competition. They were not aiming for first place, but the forefront ranking would be enough to help the company boost its reputation and image in the medical field. They would also earn a massive profit from it. Harry then looked at Zenith eagerly and said, “Zenith, New Moon Corporation is confident about this, but we are a little late. We are not as well-resourced as other companies, so I’m afraid we might not secure a good ranking. I wonder… “Zenith, you must know a lot of people from the capital, don’t you? I wonder if you can introduce a couple of famous traditional doctors to us and guide us
Andrius sounded confident as he spewed out informative points one after another. The words struck Zenith at his weak spot. With each word that Andrius said, Zenith’s face got redder. In the end, his face was as red as an apple. He was deeply embarrassed. His lips opened and tried to argue, but no words came out. He stuttered but could not form a complete sentence. Then, the other family members of the Crestfalls stepped in, trying to defend Zenith. They could not allow Andrius to embarrass the person they worshiped and admired. “Andrius! What is a caveman like you talking about? You know nothing about traditional medicine!” “Andrius, do you really think you are so good? You are just good at bragging! Stop barking!” “Andrius, if you are that good, why didn’t you start your own clinic? You can’t, right? Then, shut up!” All of them criticized Andrius harshly without bothering to find out the truth. Andrius looked at them with a discouraged look. He got up and said, “I
Andrius looked at her in surprise. Curious, he asked, “Why? Aren’t you going back there?” “Why should I go back there?” Luna flipped her hair. The blush she got from drinking made her look charming. “All they do is flatter Zenith and brag. It’s boring.” “Alright.” Andrius nodded and got into the driver’s seat; Luna got into the passenger’s seat. He asked, “Where to?” Luna said without a second thought, “Lunen Mountain.” Vroom! The car blasted off and soon disappeared at the end of the street. Lunen Mountain was located in the western suburbs of the city, almost 20 kilometers away from the city center. It was an hour's journey by car. “We’re here.” Andrius stopped the car by the road and wound down the window. What he saw lit up his eyes. Lush trees were everywhere. The air was filled with an unknown fragrance of some flower that tasted sweet. The comfortable breeze was like the music that the flowers and leaves danced along to. It was refreshing and relaxing. Cr
“Young Master Mangold, judging from the owner’s reaction, if you just say the word, he will send more in!” “Young Master Mangold…” The juniors started to flatter him again. Zenith lost himself in the flattery. He raised his hand and said, “Alright. If you guys like the vodka so much, I will ask the owner to send us two more bottles. I believe when he hears my name, he won’t dare to ignore us!” He sounded strong and confident. After a series of events, Zenith somehow believed he had gained power in Sumeria. “Young Master Mangold! You’re awesome!” “Young Master Mangold, you are the best!” “Young Master Mangold, only with you can we enjoy all these privileges. We wouldn’t even dare to imagine this before meeting you!” The Crestfalls flooded Zenith with flattery again. Zenith was energized. He said loudly, “Waiter!” “Sir, what do you need?” When Lacles left, he told the manager to stay at the door to answer any calls. The manager entered the room when he heard Zenit
Lacles was furious. He slapped Harry without holding back, exerting all his strength through all five of his fingers and palm. Harry was sent flying to the ground with the chair. His forehead bumped against the edge, swollen and bleeding. Everyone else in the room was stunned. What the hell just happened? A moment ago, the owner called them VIP guests, but now, he slapped Harry? “Sir, what are you doing…” As the main character for the day, Zenith did not understand Lacles’ sudden violence. He stood up and asked, “Is there a misunderstanding here?” “Misunderstanding?” Lacles glared at Zenith and shouted loudly, “I misunderstood your little a*s!” He grabbed his two remaining Crown Vodka bottles and wanted to leave. “Sir!” Zenith could not let the man take the vodka away just to embarrass him. He pointed at the Crown Vodka, asking, “What are we going to drink if you take them away?” “Drink your own piss!” Lacles looked at Zenith as if he was looking at a fool. He conti
When they passed by the front desk, the cashier stopped them and said, “Sir, you haven’t paid the bill.” The bill? Zenith was displeased with the cashier’s question. “Are you blind? Your owner gave us his expensive vodka, and you are asking me to pay the bill?” The others reacted immediately. “Yeah! How short-sighted.” “You are a really stupid cashier.” “Young Master Mangold is the owner’s VIP guest. Even if he pays, can you even take the money?” “Yeah.” The Crestfalls did not hold back their criticism of the cashier. The cashier held back his urge to scold them and said politely, “The owner didn’t say that all of you can eat for free, so…” “Enough!” Zenith had enough of being pretentious for the day and did not want to look bad at the end of it. He said generously, “Room 402. How much is the bill? I’ll pay.” “Sir, your bill is…” The cashier looked at the bill and said with a polite smile, “5,538,088.” “How much?!” Zenith’s eyes almost popped out of his eye sock
The onlookers at the side saw the commotion and could not help but start mocking, “He keeps calling himself a young master. What a clown!”“He’s just a clown!”“What an eye-opening experience!”“Hahaha...”Zenith went pale with anger.The other members of the Crestfalls also turned red with anger.Was Zenith not worthy of being gifted the wine?Who else in the room was worthy?Could it be Andrius?As soon as that thought emerged, it was immediately denied.Even Zenith from the Mangolds was not worthy of being served, then how could a country bumpkin like Andrius be worthy?There was only one truth!The owner harbored ill intentions from the beginning. He claimed that he was gifting the wine but actually wanted them to foot the bill for the wine!After realizing this, Zenith sneered, “I grew up in the capital since I was young and even studied abroad for many years, but now that I’m in this tiny place called Sumeria, I encountered such a scam. It’s really ridiculous.“Sir,
