When Luke heard the word succubus, he blurted out, “Aren’t you going to report it to the church?”
The waiter paused and glanced at the tall and handsome young man, as if to assess whether Luke was here to cause trouble: “The Dark Cafe is a formal store officially registered and operating in the Principality. The priests in the church will not interfere.”
Luke realized that he had embarrassed himself and shut his mouth in annoyance.
Luo Mi coughed lightly: “We are just passing by and came in to sit for a while, we don’t want to experience it.”
The waiter knew when to quit, and waited until Luo Mi and Luke ordered coffee before he put away the menus and politely left.
Luo Mi asked Luke carefully: “Do you have money?”
Luke rolled his eyes in a very unpresentable manner: “Your Highness asked me to protect you when you go out to play, so of course I brought enough money, as long as you don’t buy an elephant, I can afford it.”
Luo Mi felt relieved: “To be honest with you, I am very poor now.”
Luke looked at him in surprise: “How can you be short of money when you are hanging out with Reinhardt? Didn’t Reinhardt conspire with you to resell His Highness’s things?”
Did everyone know that Reinhardt did this? Luo Mi complained in his heart, then sighed deeply: “I donated them all.”
Speaking of this, Luo Mi thought of the vampire Pei Di who took his funding. He said he would come to the Principality in advance to gather intelligence. As a result, Susan even contacted him, but there was no news from Pei Di at all… Could he have run away with the money?
That was not possible, he was holding Pei Di’s lifeline in his hands!
Alas, even if Pei Di came back, he might ask him for extra funds… Luo Mi thought with some pain, Daisy said that she would pay back the money in the future, but Luo Mi estimated that even if Daisy paid back the money, he may have finished his mission and returned home by then.
That was to say, he now relied on Anos for food and lodging, so he didn’t have any money to spend.
Since Luke was paying the bill today, Luo Mi felt comfortable adding a few desserts that looked very expensive.
Soon, the waiter in a neat white shirt and black vest brought up their ordered food. He then bent down slightly, revealing a pair of deep red eyes: “Please enjoy your meal.”
Luo Mi was stunned for a moment.
The waiter was also stunned for a moment.
Luo Mi almost yelled “Pei Di”, but he quickly realized that Luke was not a part of the Losa City trip and did not know the vampire Pei Di. So he forced himself to hold back and pretended not to know him: “Thank you. Where is the restroom here?”
Pei Di, who was dressed as a waiter, also responded quickly and said politely, “Please follow me, sir.”
Pei Di led Luo Mi around two walls and into a place that looked like a lounge.
Luo Mi asked first: “Why are you here?”
Pei Di’s face flashed with embarrassment: “I work here.”
Luo Mi looked at him in surprise and vigilance: “Have you run out of money?”
“…No, I accidentally got caught.” Pei Di scratched his hair and then said quickly as if he had given up on himself, “After I arrived in Troon City, I smelled the scent of many low-level demons here. I originally planned to hunt one to fill my stomach, and then I planned to start to get information for you, but I accidentally bit a tough one and she planted the seed of charm in me. After that, she asked me to come here to work as a waiter.”
A guess flashed through Luo Mi’s mind: “Susan?”
Pei Di showed a surprised expression: “Do you know her?”
More than just knew each other. Luo Mi frowned: “You didn’t tell Susan about me?”
Pei Di’s expression straightened up, and he said decisively: “Am I the kind of person who would betray someone? Even if I have the seeds of charm, we can still hide some secrets with our vampire talents!”
If I didn’t have your weak spot in my hand, I would really believe it. Luo Mi was a little amused: “Where is Susan?”
“The boss is usually on the fifth floor.” Pei Di said truthfully, “Can I call her for you?”
“Thank you for your help.” Luo Mi nodded, “By the way, please help get Luke – um, the Vatican knight who came with me, away from me.”
….
Not long after Luo Mi returned to the table, he saw Pei Di coming down the stairs and bowing slightly to them: “I’m sorry, guests, the dishes were wrong. These two cups were ordered by the guests upstairs. You two need to pay the difference.”
Luke thought the coffee tasted just so-so, so he frowned, but was polite enough not to get angry: “How much do you want?”
“Thirty-four gold coins.”
Luke’s eyes widened instantly: “Why don’t you go and rob people?”
Pei Di bent down, his face full of guilt: “These two cups of coffee are made with pure blood dragon scales, which can strengthen the body. The cost is indeed quite expensive…”
Luke was full of disbelief: “Pure-blood dragon scale? There is only one true pure-blood dragon in this world, and that is the Red Horned Lord of the Demon Realm.”
“Sir, you are really knowledgeable. Our adventurers sneaked in and got this when the Red Horn Lord left his lair. According to a professional appraiser, this was a scale from the dragon’s foot. It is absolutely authentic.”
Dragon, dragon’s foot scale…Luke’s face turned blue instantly, and he seemed to want to spit out all the coffee he had just drunk.
Pei Di pointed to the bar and said, “If any guests have any complaints, they can talk to our manager.”
Sitting at the bar was a pretty girl with a curvy figure, thick smoky makeup and a long cigarette between her bright red nails.
Luo Mi also covered his mouth, but forced himself to say, “Let me go to the bathroom, then I’ll talk to them.”
Even though Luke wanted to vomit, he shook his head: “My responsibility is to protect you.”
What was more, it was a place that looked like a shady shop at first glance.
Luo Mi showed a touched expression and looked at Pei Di: “Is your manager a succubus?”
Pei Di nodded.
Luo Mi immediately shrank his neck and whispered to Luke: “If the other party’s rank is higher than mine, can he directly control me?”
Luke thought about it and felt that it made sense: “I’ll go negotiate.”
“Brother, you are so reliable!” Luo Mi patted Luke’s shoulder, “I will go back and talk to Anos and ask him to exempt you from this assignment.”
Luke perked up and followed Pei Di’s instructions to the bar.
After Luke left, another waiter came over, and it was Susan.
Luo Mi stood up and followed behind, pretending to go to the bathroom.
Susan took Luo Mi through the back kitchen door to the stairs and took Luo Mi to the third floor.
The third floor had various quiet private rooms. After Susan came in and turned on the lights, the first thing Luo Mi saw were three heavily made-up faces and a pile of notebooks behind them.
Seeing Luo Mi come in, the three faces immediately showed expressions of surprise and admiration: “Is this Lord Lian?”
Susan was obviously stunned for a moment, then her face turned serious: “What are you doing here?”
One of the succubi smiled and said, “We heard that Lord Lian was coming, so we brought the most delicious food to offer to Lord Lian.”
Several succubi moved aside, revealing the sleeping man behind them.
This man had hair as golden as the sun, and wore a close-fitting, low-key yet luxurious casual outfit. He was in his early twenties, and his handsome face looked quite familiar.
Luo Mi suppressed the twitching of his mouth.
Very good, another acquaintance.
His Royal Highness Pearl Pelant, the Second Prince of the Alpha Empire!
Several succubi began to chatter and introduce themselves:
“This is the guest brought by His Royal Highness the eldest prince. He is very handsome.”
“It’s in good shape, and it should taste good.”
“Based on my experience, he is still a virgin, so his first time must have very substantial power.”
Finally, they concluded in unison, “So we knocked him out and presented him to Lord Lian! Lord Lian, please give us some advice!”
“…” Susan’s face turned stern. “Your opportunities to receive customers will be halved from now on! Go hungry!”
The three succubi were struck by lightning!
Susan quickly asked them to carry the unconscious Pearl into the bedroom and then chased the three succubi out. She then rubbed her forehead and cursed, “What a bunch of idiots! All they think about is eating. I taught them how to put on makeup and the basics of seduction, but it’s really useless!”
Luo Mi coughed lightly: “There are very few people as smart as you.”
“Of course.” Susan raised her chin proudly, glanced at Luo Mi and then put it down, “But Lord Lian is still more powerful. I spent several months trying to influence only a few nobles, but Lord Lian can directly control the Holy Son of the Church.”
Luo Mi laughed dryly and looked at the pile of notebooks: “Are these the reports submitted by the succubi?”
Susan nodded and shook her head. “Most of them don’t have the brains to seduce someone from the church successfully. I’m afraid it will be difficult for you to correct them.”
Luo Mi picked up one and opened it. Sure enough, he saw some content written in ugly crooked handwriting such as “secretly knock him out at night and drag him back to enjoy”, “secretly knock him out at night and drag him back to cast charm spells on him repeatedly”, “secretly knock him out when there are many people around”.
This time, Luo Mi couldn’t help but twitch the corners of his mouth and put the notebook back with a calm expression.
Fortunately, the only book he really wanted to read was the one written by Susan.
There was no rush for now. Luo Mi looked at the private room that was decorated gorgeously and ambiguously. “You’ve been in Perde Principality for such a short time, and you’ve opened such a big store?”
Susan was not pleased with this: “It was just buying a hotel, using some operating strategies, and smoothing over some relationships with the upper echelons. It did not help the lord’s career at all.”
It was easy to say, but it had only been three months! From this point of view, Susan was a business talent… Luo Mi thought of Daisy, who was taught by Susan, and was also a business elite. He couldn’t help but feel sorry for the Black Wing Lord: Such a talent who could build a business empire was sent here as a scout, what a waste!
Thinking of the Black Wing Lord, a question suddenly arose in Luo Mi’s mind: The Black Wing Lord went to great lengths to send so many succubi into the Light Domain, but in the end, he made Susan and others obey his orders… It seemed as if the ultimate goal was to seduce Anos into corruption.
Luo Mi seduced Anos to complete his own mission, but what was the Black Wing Lord’s purpose? Did he read the script and know that Anos would become the boss of the Demon Realm after his fall?
It was a pity that this question could not be asked to Susan. Luo Mi mentioned Pei Di’s matter and told Susan that Pei Di was his subordinate.
Susan suddenly realized: “No wonder he couldn’t resist my charm on most issues but refused to tell me who his master was. It turned out to be Lord Lian! I will remove his charm seed as soon as I get back. I hope I won’t delay Lord Lian’s business.”
Luo Mi waved his hand: “It’s okay, no rush.”
Susan took out a notebook from another cabinet: “Pei Di said before that the purpose of his coming here was to investigate the various forces and intelligence of the Principality of Perde. At that time, I thought that this kind of intelligence was indeed very important, so I collected a lot of it. This time, I just happened to hand it over to Lord Lian.”
Luo Mi felt more and more that Susan was really capable.
“Also, after my store became stable, I contacted Daisy Durr and she said she borrowed money from Lord Lian.” Susan’s face turned serious, “How useless! You can’t make money yourself, but you still ask Lord Lian for money!”
Luo Mi was just about to try to smooth things over and say “Forget it, forget it” when he suddenly had an idea and didn’t say anything.
Sure enough, Susan went to open another drawer. “Here is what I am paying back to Lord Lian on behalf of Daisy, double the amount. I hope Lord Lian can forgive Daisy’s incompetence.”
Luo Mi’s eyes couldn’t help but light up: Double!
