Chapter 141 Encounter and Initial Conflict!
Chapter 141 Encounter and Initial Conflict!
After several rounds of drinks, the conversation at the table became increasingly unrestrained.
"You gentlemen have only tasted the flavor of women," Theodore Morgan said, taking a sip of his wine and a slight smile playing on his lips, "but have never experienced the taste of men."
Upon hearing this, several vice presidents of the Witch Council branch turned their heads, their expressions revealing amazement. Only He Jin, the person in charge of Qinglan City, and Yuan Hao, the president of the Witch Council branch, exchanged a glance, remained silent, and their expressions did not change.
Theodore Morgan could tell from the looks in the eyes of the crowd how limited the local people's knowledge was, so he put down his glass and calmly began to talk.
"Let me tell you..." he began to recount his experiences.
Some listened with rapt attention, as if savoring fine wine; others outwardly praised, but their eyes betrayed a hint of disgust.
At this moment, a handsome male waiter brought in the dishes, arranged them, and quietly introduced them.
Theodore Morgan noticed that someone still seemed suspicious, so he suddenly reached out and grabbed the waiter's wrist, pulling him into his arms.
Before the waiter could react, Theodore had already leaned in to kiss him.
The waiter, however, did not comply with the blond, blue-eyed guest and kicked him.
Perhaps due to the alcohol, or perhaps because he was already weak, Theodore Morgan was kicked and fell backward. Everyone's expression changed immediately. Some rushed forward to help him up, while others hurriedly waved for the waiter to leave.
Theodore Morgan, his face grim, stood up. "Where did the waiter go?"
He only intended to broaden the horizons of these country folk and test the obedience of the Witch Council branch, not to actually do anything to the waiter. Yet, a mere waiter dared to kick him.
Really...
Seeing that no one answered and that the waiter was no longer in the room, Theodore Morgan ignored the advice of those around him and went straight out.
……
Luo Xi had almost finished eating. Because of her work in refining the witch's version of the Fasting Pill, she had previously tasted a lot of raw materials and semi-finished Fasting Pills, and her stomach was already full. She was attending the banquet more out of courtesy.
However, all of this was far too extravagant, and she couldn't help but recall the scene at the banquet.
Each dish was explained by a specialist, but the witches usually only took one bite before removing it, and then a new dish was served in the blink of an eye, which was really too wasteful.
Luo Xi's family was not well-off in her previous life. Although things have improved in this life, she still maintains a simple concept of food.
Moreover, mere cravings for food were not enough to make her succumb.
Her resolve to pursue the Dao is unwavering; even though the path to enlightenment is arduous and long, she will never be swayed by worldly temptations.
but……
"It's just too extravagant." As she walked to the window in the corridor, Luo Xi sighed softly again.
She can resist the temptations of material things, but what about others? Or rather, what about the other witches?
No wonder money and power can corrupt people's hearts. Such extravagance at a simple banquet is indeed an irresistible temptation for ordinary people.
Thinking of this, Luo Xi sighed softly. "If every ordinary person could enjoy such a life and have ample material possessions, how wonderful that would be."
Unfortunately, she couldn't do that yet. Then she thought of the witches. Witches possess extraordinary powers and enjoy such generous material treatment, which seemed quite normal.
I really hope they can resist the temptation.
Just as Luo Xi was pondering the possibility that her younger sisters Luo Xin and Qiangwei were being misled by material things, a male waiter hurriedly ran down the corner staircase.
The waiter looked somewhat familiar, as if he were one of the ones who served dishes at the banquet earlier, but Luo Xi didn't pay any attention to him. She only glanced at him before continuing to look out the window at the scenery.
The waiter's footsteps faded away down the stairs. Immediately afterward, a blond, blue-eyed man came running after him.
The blond, blue-eyed guy was someone she had asked Le Tong to deal with before in Dachang City. He seemed to belong to the Morgan family as well, but Luo Xi still didn't care and kept her gaze fixed on the window.
However, the blond man stopped behind her.
"Beautiful lady, I am Theodore Morgan. Why are you admiring the scenery alone here?" the blond man who called himself Theodore Morgan said.
"Are you talking to me?" Luo Xi didn't turn around, but just stared quietly into the distance.
"Indeed, the wind is so strong. Would you be so kind as to invite me to lunch?" Theodore Morgan added.
"Thank you, but no need." Luo Xi, not wanting to offend anyone and considering that this was Shui Lin's territory, and that as a guest it was inappropriate to cause trouble, politely declined, as she had come to invite Shui Lin to join the Vishzhe Group.
"Beautiful lady, you haven't told me your name yet." Theodore Morgan still hadn't given up.
"Luo Xi." Luo Xi's cold voice rang out, but she still didn't turn around.
Luo Xi?
Theodore Morgan's mind raced as he quickly recalled the top conglomerates, families, and groups in the Middle East, but the name "Luo" did not seem to be among them.
Wait, there's a Luo Group... Luo Group, Luo Xi, could this be some kind of cover-up?
"So, may I ask if you have any connection with the Luo Group?" he probed.
"It's irrelevant." Luo Xi was about to return to the restaurant. Her younger sister Luo Xin, Qiangwei, and Shui Lin should still be eating. Since she was already there, even though she was full, she still planned to try some foods and ingredients she had never seen before, just to broaden her horizons.
Theodore Morgan remained standing behind her, his emerald green eyes darting around like a wolf's. He was now certain that the beautiful young woman before him was just an ordinary person.
I have no knowledge of the Rothschild Group or the Morgan family, yet they are here; they must be relatives of some waiter.
The untouched or leftover dishes at the banquet are usually allowed to be taken away by the waiters. This girl is most likely the daughter of one of the waiters.
With this in mind, Theodore Morgan completely dropped his pretense. "Miss Luo Xi, you may not know the Morgan family or what the name Morgan represents. It would be an honor for you to invite you to lunch."
Luo Xi finally turned around and glanced at Theodore Morgan, but did not respond. She simply walked past him and headed towards the restaurant.
Theodore Morgan was instantly enraged.
This shameless bastard dares to ignore him and his family! He's even more despicable than Fang Wei, the powerful figure in Dachang City!
The male waiter may not be as strong, but he can handle a little girl.
Thinking of this, Theodore Morgan reached out to grab Luo Xi.
Luo Xi gave this reckless fellow a cold glance, her killing intent barely contained. Forcibly suppressing it, Luo Xi's magic surged slightly, and Theodore Morgan's body suddenly froze on the spot. Then, without turning her head, Luo Xi walked straight into the restaurant.
Theodore Morgan was furious, firstly because he had been intimidated by a little girl, and shame and nameless anger surged to his head; secondly, this bitch had rejected him repeatedly, did she really think their family was just for show?
He wanted to let this arrogant and ignorant bastard personally experience the power of the Morgan family!
