"There's a mosquito. Can't I swat it?"
Flender immediately had something he didn't know whether he should say.
"Your Excellency Soul Douluo, I was in the wrong. Please spare me. Consider that crystal my apology."

The moment the hotel manager saw the token Ning Bei presented, it was as though he had seen his own father.
"M-My lord, why have you come here? I'll arrange everything
