CHAPTER 319: Who Are You? You Have Some Nerve!
Princess Ryan smiled and said, "I'm just curious, why does the gentleman use this face? It's quite special."
Zhao Hai calmly replied, "What difference does it make? What can a face represent? Even if I'm handsome, without strength, in the end, I'm nothing."
Ryan looked at Zhao Hai's serious expression and couldn't help but curl her lips, "Sir, looking at your attire, you shouldn't be such a serious person. Why are you acting so serious now?"
Zhao Hai was taken aback, and then his expression changed. He realized he had lost his composure; after all, he was playing the role of a young master who was a spoiled rich kid. If he was too serious, it wouldn’t fit his character.
Zhao Hai's expression clearly reflected in Ryan's eyes, making her even more curious about him, wondering why he would change his expression because of her words. This was also the most magical part of the spiritual mask; when worn, it truly felt like a different face, and even changes in expressions and color could be clearly reflected, something that ordinary people would not notice.
However, Zhao Hai quickly composed himself, returning his expression to normal. He glanced at Ryan and said, "That depends on who it is. For people I don't like, I'll just keep a stern face."
Ryan felt that Zhao Hai's words were false. If he were telling the truth, he wouldn't have changed his expression just now. Now that he said this, he must be hiding something. So, Ryan was not angry, just looking at Zhao Hai with increasing curiosity.
At that moment, Xu Wanying also walked over, bowing slightly to Zhao Hai, "Young master, everything is arranged. Twenty lower-class rooms for those guards, two upper-class rooms for you and Princess Ryan, and I, along with Mu Tou and Mr. Jili, will stay in one middle-class room."
Zhao Hai shook his head, "Change those guards' rooms to middle-class. You all switch to an upper-class room next to ours. This way, if anything happens, you can know immediately. Let’s arrange it like this in the future."
Xu Wanying acknowledged and turned to walk to the hotel reception. Soon, the rooms were arranged. Because there were many people today, they not only had to arrange rooms for lodging but also meals. Luckily, with an experienced mercenary like Xu Wanying around, these matters were handled properly without any mistakes.
Zhao Hai now had money and didn’t care much about the costs. Arranging meals and lodgings for a hundred people at a hotel like this only cost dozens of gold coins a day, which was no big deal.
Although Zhao Hai had the space to store food, to maintain appearances, he still asked Xu Wanying to inform the Brown Hotel to prepare some extra provisions for them to take on their journey.
Once everything was arranged, Zhao Hai and the others returned to their rooms to rest. They agreed with Xu Wanying to have the hotel staff prepare meals, as they would go to the restaurant for dinner later.
Zhao Hai now understood that as a young master, one could not just hide in a room eating. He would definitely go to the restaurant for a proper meal to show off his status. So, he chose not to stay in his room but went to the dining area.
However, this meant that Laura and Meg would have to be put at a disadvantage. According to the customs of the continent, while Zhao Hai was dining, Laura and the others could not sit at the table because their roles were merely as his maid or concubine, not his wives.
Laura and the others had no objections. After all, Zhao Hai was acting like a spoiled rich kid this time, and if he was too nice to them, it wouldn't fit his character.
In the end, Zhao Hai had no choice but to let Laura and the others head back to the space to eat first. After they finished their meal, Zhao Hai and the others finally left the room and headed to the restaurant.
The restaurant had already prepared the meals for them. The table was filled with magical vegetables. Although it was winter, this was the Magic Continent, and growing vegetables in winter was normal. Of course, the prices were not cheap.
