“System, I have already completed my mission.” Mag ignored the resources sneakily downloaded by the System, and went straight to the point.
“You actually completed the mission in advance. This… This is not scientifically logical! According to this System’s calculations, there is a 30% failure rate in this mission. How could you have completed it on the first day?” The System’s astonished voice sounded.
“Anyway, I have already completed it. Quick, give me my reward,” Mag said calmly, with neither a blush nor a racing heart.
“Check is completed. The system runs without errors. The Host has completed the hidden mission successfully and helped 30 people with hair loss problems regain their confidence. Mission reward: the recipe of Steamed Fish Head with Diced Hot Red Peppers!” The system’s voice sounded.
Mag looked at the Steamed Fish Head with Diced Hot Red Peppers’s experience bag that appeared in his head with brightly lit eyes. Steamed Fish Head with Diced Hot Red Peppers was the classic method to cook a fish’s head, and he rather liked it too. He only wondered what kind of Steamed Fish Head with Diced Hot Red Peppers would the recipe given by the system taste like.
…
The Buffett Manor. In an elegant tearoom, Gloria and Scheer sat facing each other with a pot of piping hot tea in between them.
Gloria apologetically said, “Miss Scheer, thanks for making the time to see me. It’s inappropriate that I didn’t make an appointment in advance.”
She looked at Scheer, a woman who was the same age as her. She had a presence that didn’t match her age. She had seen this presence with her grandfather before, but Scheer was not even 20, and she already possessed the presence of a person in power. Maybe she was a so-called born leader?
“There isn’t anything on my schedule tonight, and I am definitely willing to have a cup of tea with Miss Gloria. After all, there is no one willing to have a cup of tea calmly with me in this huge manor.” Scheer picked up the cup and had a sip with a self-deprecating smile.
A hint of surprise appeared in Gloria’s eyes. This peer of hers who was already in the Chaos City’s power circle at such a young age wasn’t as satisfied as others believed her to be?
“I heard Cyril plans to kick you out of the board at the Chamber of Commerce’s year-end gala. You came because of that, right?” Scheer asked Gloria.
Gloria didn’t expect Scheer to guess her motive immediately and be the one to bring it up, but she wasn’t too shocked. She nodded. “Yes, I came to see Miss Scheer because of this. I hope Miss Scheer could help me.”
“Why do you think I would help you?” Scheer’s slender fingers caressed the cup as she smiled at Gloria mysteriously.
Gloria put down her cup and said to Scheer, “Compared to Cyril, I guess Miss Scheer would rather have me as your opponent.”
Scheer was slightly taken aback. A gleam appeared in her eyes, and she began to look at Gloria with an interested gaze. She stared at Gloria for a while before she nodded with a smile. “I do indeed have this thought now. That chap, Cyril, was never on my list of worthy opponents. But now, I can consider adding you to that list.”
Gloria’s eyes lit up. Was Scheer really willing to help her?
“Since we are both business people, let’s make a deal,” Scheer continued.

“What’s the condition?” A hint of wariness rose up in Gloria’s heart. Although she had no choice but to ask Scheer for help, she was also aware of the competitive relationship between the Moretons and the Buffetts in the Chamber of Commerce. If Scheer had gained a handle on her because of this incident, or the Buffetts needed to sacrifice their interests, she’d rather be kicked out of the board than agree.
“I will ask the Buffetts’ board members to vote against it. Of course, I cannot guarantee the outcome.” Scheer’s mouth curled slightly. “The condition is, from today onward, I will have the right to preorder a set of clothes that Blue Suede releases in advance. And, as long as I have ordered that set, there will not be a second piece in the same color family. Of course, I will pay you according to the price of haute couture.”
Gloria was a little stunned as she asked with uncertainty, “That’s… it?”
She had not expected that Scheer would ask for something like that. It didn’t concern the Moreton Family, nor did it need her to go against her conscience. She simply wanted a set of Blue Suede’s new items in her exclusive color. Even though making the red color family into a single haute couture item equaled giving up a very popular color, it wasn’t a condition that was difficult to accept.
“Yes, I don’t like to wear the exact clothes as others, even though it would be the other party who would be embarrassed.” Scheer nodded naturally.
“I accept this condition.” Gloria smiled. “From today on, Blue Suede’s new items will be sent to Miss Scheer to have the first pick. Whatever color you choose, there will be only one such item in that color.”
“You’re indeed much more interesting than Cyril.” Scheer gestured with the teacup before taking a sip.
“Miss Scheer is also much more interesting than what I have heard,” Gloria said with a smile after taking a sip.
“Oh? I am rather curious what the others said about me…” Scheer asked rather curiously.
…
In a study of the Moreton Manor.
“Master, Young Master Cyril has been rather close with Bowen from the Marquis Family recently. Also, the Marquis’ board members have also been notified to vote Miss Gloria out at the year-end celebration,” Mars said respectfully to Jeffree who was sitting behind the desk.
“So it’s this wily old fox Bowen who is behind all this, or else Cyril wouldn’t have been this arrogant. Does this fellow think I am rather old?” Jeffree smirked. He raised his eyes and said to Mars, “I will ask the Moreton’s board members to remain neutral in this incident. You will assist Gloria with all you have. If she can keep her board member’s seat, I will then assign you a new task.”
Mars shook his head. “Master, it will be enough for me to stay with Young Mistress. I don’t need any other positions to assist her with all my heart. She is a very clever child, and I believe she will resolve this perfectly.”
“You may go now.” Jeffree waved, and Mars bade his farewell. Looking at his retreating back, Jeffree pondered. Did Mars favor Gloria since the very beginning?

At the north of the goblins’ Vic Mountain, near the Wind Forest, there was an arduous mountain range.
In the midst of these mountains, there were plenty of gold mines and gemstone mines. The hardworking goblins dug numerous mines within the mountains to remove the gold and gemstones, and they left behind numerous deserted caverns.
Now, within those mountains, there was one mountain near the Wind Forest at whose foot numerous elves gathered. The fire torches surrounded the entire mountain, resembling a long dragon.
In the middle of that mountain, there was a cave entrance. A figure in white stood there alone and looked downward.
An elf came and anxiously reported, “Your Highness, we have been surrounded for six days with no reinforcements in sight. Our food has already run out yesterday. We have to find a chance to break through and leave this cave to search for food, or else we cannot hold on for much longer.”
