Enjoyment and Preparation for Battle

[Holy City - Third Floor - Imperial Lion Hotel]

Sizzle!

A carriage with patterns carved by artist Mijakid on its surface stopped in front of the hotel.

"Mr. Martin. Demps Martin, please follow me!"

A short while later.

Demps, Han Dong, and Mia arrived at a small private room decorated entirely with crystal.

A dazzling array of top-quality dishes were served at the same time.

"Wow..." Mia had never seen such a scene before, and a trickle of saliva mixed with venom dripped down the corner of her mouth.

"Don't be shy, you're heading to the Destiny Space tomorrow... and you expended a lot of energy sparring today."

Consider this meal payment to the Vice Captain.

The sparring session with the Vice Captain revealed many of my shortcomings and helped me understand some details.

Han Dong was also amazed by the exquisite dishes that were so beautiful in color, aroma and taste.

"Brother Demps... it seems that only high-ranking nobles, royalty, or people of high status from the Holy City are allowed to enter this hotel, right? And the prices here must be very high, right?"

How did you do that?

Demps beckoned with his finger in mid-air.

"Didn't I mention my 'side hustle' before? I earn a little extra money through massage, and I can practice my ' Finger Technique ' on the side... Isn't that great?"

Han Dong looked helpless.

The laboratory he is currently rebuilding outside the city with a lot of manpower and resources may not generate as much annual revenue as Demps earns from casual massages once the production line is completed.

Thinking about this made Han Dong feel a tightness in his chest.

What followed during the meal surprised Han Dong.

I always feel that after a bite of soup and meat, not only does it fill my stomach, but it also helps me recover the physical strength and energy I've expended during the sparring.

Demps cut the fish on her plate with an elegant gesture, speaking simply.

"Being surrounded by negative things like pollution, fear, and fatigue all day long, such enjoyment and relaxation are very necessary... Some high-ranking members of the Knight Order often come to this hotel to spend money."

It's similar to a top-notch "Stress Release" method.

Moreover, this hotel places its guests on the top floor, and has put a lot of effort into protecting their privacy.

Many important figures choose to discuss their 'private matters' here.

"Um."

"We must keep our business a secret from each other... As for our secrets, we'll share them when we've established ourselves in the Holy City."

"OK."

"In addition, I also booked a room."

According to Miss Mia, the environment and facilities of the Imperial Lion Hotel are naturally much better than those of the student dormitories.

Your information has been registered with the hotel. You can enjoy most of the hotel's services by scanning the smart bracelet, and the staff will also take you to your room.

Enjoy it.

Upon hearing this...

Mia's 'prejudice' against Demps vanished.

"Alright..."

"Then, I can only wish the Vice Captain to make the most of his time in the Destiny Space... I won't bother you any longer."

With Demps's departure.

However, just as the two walked into the hotel lobby...

"Nicholas."

"Vice Captain!"

The familiar voice made Mia so angry that she almost unleashed her spider legs in public.

The visitors were none other than the Wenli the Blacksmith and Abel.

"Huh? What brings you here?"

"My friend Demps just messaged me saying he's treating us to tonight at the Imperial Lion Hotel to enjoy all the top-notch services. It'll be perfect if our team can meet up early and head to the Clock Tower together tomorrow."

"Me... me too." Winry nodded.

"Oh! That's great... Demps is very thoughtful."

"What's so good about it! It's not good at all!" Mia was so angry she wanted to chop someone up.

Han Dong checked information at the front desk.

They discovered that Demps had only booked one luxury suite for the four of them.

The idea is to allow the four members of the team to discuss and rest in one room while enjoying the various perks and services of the Imperial Lion Hotel.

"Demps is a pretty good guy, it's just a pity he's unwilling to get involved in this Destiny Event..."

Nicholas, let's go take a bath! My grandfather used to bring me here.

The hot springs here also come with premium massages, allowing us to completely relax and face Destiny Event in the best possible condition.

Abel knew that it was not easy to come to such a high-class place, so he put his slightly hairy arm around Han Dong and headed to the 'men-only' hot spring area.

"Get out!"

When Mia saw this, she was so angry she almost cried.

"Sister Mia, why don't we go take a bath too..."

"Fine!! I'm not going to think about that Scumbag anymore... I only want you, Wenli."

Mia immediately hugged Winry, appearing very intimate.

In the men's-only hot spring area, there are several muscular waiters.

Abel and Han Dong lay on the edge of the hot spring, and several muscular waiters came to serve them in turn. This kind of massage was so comfortable.

After about four hours, enjoying most of the high-end services offered by the hotel.

The large round bed had already been taken by two girls who had returned early.

The wool carpet was quite comfortable.

Han Dong was too exhausted to even speak, so he collapsed onto the fluffy carpet with Abel and quickly fell asleep.

A night passed in a daze.

When Han Dong woke up, he found the room empty and realized it was already past ten o'clock.

In Han Dong's hand, there was a small tuft of white fur... It seemed to have been accidentally pulled off while he was sleeping with Abel last night.

Just then.

Click... The door opens.

Mia stayed close to Winry as they walked back to the room.

At the same time, Wenli was also carrying a set of exquisite dishes specially provided by the hotel.

"Vice Captain, we saw you were sleeping soundly, so we didn't wake you... Captain Abel has to go back to get some basic supplies. We'll meet at the clock tower entrance at 11:30 sharp."

"Eat your breakfast before it gets cold."

"Good."

When Han Dong got up, he felt incredibly light and in excellent condition.

The high-class cuisine, coupled with top-notch service, brought Han Dong to his best state of mind like never before.

"If I can complete the game perfectly... I will definitely thank Demps properly when I come back."

Let's go! Let's set off.

As Han Dong waved to the two girls after breakfast, a few white animal hairs unexpectedly drifted down, which Mia happened to see.

"I'm so angry!!"
