“Sister-in-law, you don’t need to do this.”
To show modesty, Fatty tried to deny Lana’s help of free meal.
“Ben, you are part of the family, and this is our hotel. How can they charge money from the owner? By the way, don’t you want to introduce me to your friends?” Lana asked with a hesitating look while eyeing Kent from the corner of her eyes. For some reason, she got disturbed after seeing Kent, who completely ignored her presence.
Ben laughed awkwardly and proceeded to introduce the duo to Lana. “Sister-in-law, this beautiful lady is Mei Bai; she is an arbiter at Arena. Mei Bai, meet my sister-in-law, Lana Mintleaf, who is ever so charming and beautiful.”
The two ladies exchanged a nod with a casual smile. Then Fatty turned to Kent, who is thinking deeply about something while eating food.
“Master…” Fatty called out loudly. “She is my sister-in-law, Lana Mintleaf. Sister-in-law, this handsome young man is Kent Clark, a powerful fighter. He is the reason for my fortune. Didn’t I say about Golden Root? He is my host.” Fatty replied with a proud face.
Kent slowly lifted his head and exchanged a look with Lana. Their gazes met for a second as they both stared into each other’s eyes.
Lana took the lead to speak. “Nice to meet you, Kent. I saw you during the fight against Zi Chen. You are really a good fighter.” Lana said without moving her gaze from Kent.
Kent replied with a casual thank you and shifted his focus to the meal. Lana stood there awkwardly for a second before speaking again. “Ben, please bring your friends to the engagement ceremony. Don’t give me any excuses.” Lana said with playful seriousness.
“I will definitely bring Mei Bai, but master would be busy.” Fatty replied while pointing at Kent.
Lana turned her attention to Kent. “Mr. Kent…” She called out in a sweet tone. “You are a close friend to Ben, who is a family member to me. You must come to my engagement ceremony.” Lana requested sincerely and waited patiently for his reply.
“At what date?” Kent asked, thinking about his schedule.
“Three days after Lunar Day, which is just one week away,” Lana replied immediately.
” After a quick thought about his schedule, Kent nodded his head in agreement. “I will try to be there on time. Thank you for inviting me.” Kent replied calmly and picked up the soup bowl.
“Ben, did you hear what your master said? Now, you are responsible for bringing them along.” Lana replied with a serious look.
Ben nodded his head like a chicken with a wide smile. After exchanging a few more words with Fatty and Mei Bai, Lana left for the private room meant for owners.
After Lana left, Fatty leaned on the table and called Kent in a whispering tone. “Master… Master…”
Kent lifted his head to see why Fatty is whispering all of a sudden.
“Master, how is my sister-in-law? Do you like her?” Fatty asked with a wide grin.
Kent gave Fatty a weird look, as he couldn’t understand why Fatty is asking this all of a sudden. Mei Bai, who heard Fatty’s’ whispering, lifted her hand and slapped him in the back.
“Ahh…” Fatty groaned in pain as he turned towards Mei Bai with a crumbled face.
“She is your sister-in-law. What nonsense are you whispering?” Mei Bai questioned with an angry glare.
“Why do you hit me so hard? Ahh, it’s painful.” Fatty uttered while rubbing his back. Mei Bai lifted her hand again with a serious look.

“Ok, ok, stop. It’s my mistake. Actually, I don’t want Lana to marry that scumbag Spurgeon. She is so beautiful, kind, and supportive. She definitely deserves a guy like Master. That’s why I’m asking whether Master likes her or not.” Fatty spoke like a righteous scholar.
Kent leaned back on the chair and began laughing at Ben’s explanation. “Fatty, there is definitely something wrong with your brain. How could you always think of nonsense? The date is already set for her wedding. So, what’s the use, even if I like Lana?
Also, I already have enough girls around me, and they were threatening me to stop loving another woman. So, don’t try to find a match for me in the future.” Kent replied while controlling his laughter.
Fatty became depressed after hearing Kent’s reply. With a sad face, he leaned on the table and began pushing the meat rolls into his mouth. Now, all his anger and depression turned onto the food plate. Laughing at his childish behavior, Mei Bai added food to Ben’s plate.
After finishing the meal, Kent added his handprints to the consent document for a group fight in the Arena. Picking up the document, Mei Bai said all the best to Kent and left along with Ben.
But Kent sat there alone for a long time while thinking about his tasks at hand and safety preparations before visiting the poison sect.
“It’s better if I finish the monthly sect mission before visiting the poison sect.” Kent muttered while getting up from his seat. He mounted on the Fire Kirin and directly went to the Eternal Sun Sect.
In a few moments, he reached the administration building of the Healing Sun Peak. Kent walked towards the old lady who allots golden rank sect missions.
The old lady immediately recognized Kent and greeted him with a smile. “Why did you come alone? Where is Sophia?” the old arbiter lady asked with an interesting look.
“She is busy doing a favor for me. By the way, I have important work on Lunar Day. Can you please allot a sect mission now? I don’t mind taking two gold-rank missions.” Kent asked requestingly.
The old lady sighed heavily after hearing his request. “Thank God, you finally came up to take a task. You don’t know how much struggle I’m facing now a days.” The old lady said in a relieved tone.
“What are you talking about?” Kent questioned her with a confused look, as he did not understand what she is talking about.
“Didn’t you promise to treat a bunch of elder women’s? They are all eating my brain every day to inform you about the task. But the peak master instructed me not to disturb you as you are busy with something more important.”
The old lady explained while taking out the list of letters she received from the ladies of Golden Bamboo City, who are demanding a cession from the pleasure doctor.
