The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Upon hearing the Demon King's inquiry, Sarah was momentarily stunned, hesitated for a moment, then answered cautiously.

"I feel... your kitchen is still more delicious."

Luo Yan, upon hearing this, smiled with satisfaction and said proudly.

"Naturally, after all, my servants are experts in various fields, their experience and insight are not something a chef who has never left Thunder City can compare to."

Seeing the Demon King seemingly in a good mood, Sarah sat uneasily for a moment, then carefully asked.

"Lord Demon King... may I ask you a personal question?"

"Oh?" Luo Yan looked at her unexpectedly, and said with interest, "What question."

Sarah asked softly.

"Do you prefer life on the surface?"

"Not really, it's just work." Luo Yan replied casually, elegantly cutting a piece of steak and putting it in his mouth.

Actually, whether it's the surface or underground, it doesn't make much difference to him.

The civilization level of this world is quite backward, even if it's enjoyment, what can be enjoyed is quite limited.

In comparison, he is more looking forward to the players from Beifeng City bringing more good things from his hometown.

So he can flaunt them back in Demon City.

Seeing the Demon King relaxed, Sarah suddenly showed a happy smile, and even the originally bland food suddenly became delicious.

Watching the moving hood, Luo Yan couldn't help but smile.

"Take off your hat when eating, there's no one else here."

Sarah stopped her movement, and said softly.

"But... I feel safer this way."

It seems she still cannot completely relax in the surface human domain.

Luo Yan did not insist.

"As you wish, then."

...

Since Mr. Colin moved to Queen Street, three days have passed, and countless different versions of rumors have been fermented about that gentleman.

Some say he is the son of an Imperial Prince, with a territory overseas comparable to the New Continent. Others say he is the illegitimate son of the Imperial Regent King, hence he can't reveal his title and source of wealth.

Whichever rumor you choose, it is enough to pique the appetite of Thunder City's citizens.

That's why, for the past three days, the Embrace of Dawn Hotel's entrance is crowded, filled with notable figures from Queen Street.

Among them are famous theater actors, court poets, renowned painters, and big business traders, as well as rural nobles around Thunder City.

To create a chance encounter with Mr. Colin or to catch his attention, some even disregard their dignities, causing quite a few laughable incidents.

Yet unfortunately, Mr. Colin has never appeared publicly, not only dining in a private room but also renting an entire floor, not giving those ambitious people any chance to get close.

What's interesting is that the more reserved Mr. Colin is, the more interested those swarming around him become.

Thanks to this, the hotel's staff made quite a bit of tips by leaking details of Mr. Colin's lifestyle.

And the frenzy of those people imitating him extended beyond the mattress, now even to the tea cups used for drinking tea.

In fact, this frenzy is not entirely driven by vanity.

Thunder City's citizens didn't earn their money easily, especially these richest people, who are actually quite shrewd.

Just as they've always imitated the Andes Family and Campbell Royal Family, imitating Mr. Colin now might be a way to ride the "wave of popularity".

They don't need to spend too much gold coin, yet can gain a topic of conversation that interests everyone of similar status, and gain a psychological advantage when talking with potential business partners.

In common economic terms, this is so-called "consensus".

That's why, even if they haven't seen Mr. Colin, they won't lose out.

Due to well-known reasons, the Embrace of Dawn Hotel gathers all the elites of Thunder City, and even without Mr. Colin's participation, those circling around Mr. Colin can still find opportunities to complement their resources.

This is the power of circles.

But everyone knows in their hearts that these petty benefits are just an appetizer compared to the story about the Colin family.

They are like hungry guests, waiting for the chef to serve the main course.

As for now, it's just to accumulate more bargaining chips for when the main course is served.

Through Youyou's eyes, Luo Yan quietly watched the guests' performance in the hotel, patiently waiting for the real big fish to bite.

And, as he expected, on the fifth day of his arrival in Thunder City, the city's nominally most honored "prestigious person" Erin Campbell finally couldn't hold back her curiosity, sent him an invitation with the Royal Family's wax seal.

Luxury suite's living room.

Holding this heavy letter, Punk standing at the door felt his legs trembling, as if the thing in his hand weighed a thousand pounds.

"Sir, your letter... Campbell family's letter."

His voice trembled, speaking with difficulty.

However, in contrast to his trepidation, the esteemed Mr. Colin displayed a calm demeanor, casually instructing.

"Read it to me."

Punk's expression looked like he was constipated, stammered for a long time, before saying with difficulty.

"I, I can't read..."

He had never been so grateful that he couldn't read.

After all, that was a Royal wax seal, even by Mr. Colin's order, he dared not open it.

Luo Yan did not trouble him, just gave Sarah a look.

She didn't care about the Campbell family, took the envelope and opened it, then read it boldly.

The entire letter was lengthy, but summarized into two points; one was expressed admiration for Roxey Colin, and the other invited him to a banquet the day after tomorrow.

Punk had already retreated to outside the door.

Glancing at the closed door, Sarah hesitated and asked.

"Are you planning to attend?"

Luo Yan said lightly.

"Why not?"

Sarah: "But..."

"I have said, don't worry about her Chosen One identity, our contest with the Campbell family this time is unrelated to force, she won't even have a chance to draw her sword."

Able to auction her watch to help refugees outside the city, Luo Yan suddenly looked at this little girl in a new light.

This one might be a "good person".

And as everyone knows, a good person cannot be the Black Hand behind the scenes.

However, she might make a good pawn...

Thinking of this, Luo Yan took out a handful of colorful diamonds from his pocket, gently placed them on the walnut table like glass marbles, observing them carefully in the twilight glow.

"The story of "Special people need special care" is complete, this time he plans to tell a story about "A diamond is forever and a legacy".

Which one to use?

Luo Yan pondered for a long time, unable to decide.

But at that moment, an idea suddenly struck him, recalling the fleeting glimpse he caught when standing on Thunder City's street.

He vaguely remembered the Duke Campbell's eyes seemed green, and proverb says a daughter resembles her father, surely Princess Erin is the same.

Instantly having an idea, Luo Yan favored a pigeon egg-sized diamond emitting a green luster, smiled as he picked it up, weighed it lightly.

"It's you."
