Chapter 683 The preferential treatment of cutting in line, Loki's Familia arrives.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to talk about Miss Leon."

The red-haired dwarf hurriedly apologized. As an intelligence broker for the Hermes Familia, he naturally knew Ryu-Leon's true identity. However, he did not expect that when he wanted to tell his benefactor, he would be caught by Seele, the mascot of the Lady of Abundance. This made him feel a little embarrassed, but he was even more afraid that this lovely human girl would complain to him.

If you provoke hostility from the other people in the shop, especially the proprietress Mia, you might not be killed, but you'll definitely get beaten up.

"Well, it is extremely impolite to gossip about women's private matters in private. However, it is only natural that someone as beautiful as Ryu would be talked about. But it is best not to spread some secrets. Sir of the Hermes Familia, do you agree with me?"

The gentle girl smiled and asked the red-haired dwarf.

"Ah, yes..."

Lorne nodded quickly, looking apologetically at the Saiyan boy opposite him.

“Mr. Broly, I’m sorry, this involves the relationship between our captain and that Miss Leon, so please forgive me for not being able to tell you anything about her.”

"OK then."

Broly noticed the other party's predicament but did not insist.

"Is this gentleman a first-time customer of our restaurant?"

The gray-haired, gray-eyed signboard girl shifted her attention to him.

"Ah."

Broly nodded and responded.

"If you're interested in Ryu's affairs, I can tell you about it."

A pretty and adorable girl leaned closer and whispered.

"Really?"

Broly looked at her.

"Of course, but this will require you to pay a small price."

"See," said Seele.

"What price?"

"This is our shop's menu. It has some dishes that taste good, but are a bit pricey."

If you could help me achieve my sales target, I could earn a small commission.

I can secretly tell you some information about my friend Liu.

Seele handed over the thick menu and said with a smile.

"Okay, then bring me one of everything from the menu."

Broly took the menu but didn't even look at it; he simply ordered from the menu.

"Ah~"

Before Seele could speak, Lorne Vic exclaimed in surprise.

Broly looked over and saw that the other person had a bitter face.

“Mr. Broly, I may not have enough money on me to pay for the menu.”

The food and drinks at this lavishly hosted restaurant are not cheap; they are even more expensive than those at the restaurant on the fourth floor of the Tower of Babel.

"Don't worry, I should have enough money with me to pay the bill."

Broly took out his money pouch, placed it on the table, and said...

"But I'm treating you tonight."

Lorne was in a bit of a dilemma.

“You invited me to thank me for my kindness, but now, Mr. Lorne, I formally declare that you have already repaid my kindness by bringing me to this restaurant.”

"Eh?"

"Because you made me meet the people I wanted to meet, and not just one."

Broly said seriously.

"Oh, so besides wanting to meet Ryu, I wonder who else this gentleman might want to meet here?"

Seele asked out of curiosity.

"If it were someone I knew, judging from the way you're preparing to order from the entire menu, I feel that as the shop's mascot, I should at least offer you some assistance."

That's what the girl said.

"That's wonderful."

Broly was very happy.

Is it Anya, Chloe, or Lunova? Surely it can't be Mia?!

As Seele was thinking this, she noticed the boy staring intently at her.

"The other person I want to meet is none other than you."

"Eh?!"

Seele's mouth gaped open, as if she couldn't believe what she was hearing. She subconsciously checked herself to see if she had accidentally activated her charm.

However, after realizing that she hadn't activated her charm, the gray-haired, gray-eyed girl tilted her head and asked, "Excuse me, sir, may I ask why you wish to meet me?"

Just when Seele thought she would get the usual answer, "I was attracted by your cuteness," Broly hesitated for a moment and gave her an answer that was somewhat unexpected.

"Miss Seele, I'll call you that for now, but I wonder if you believe in fateful encounters?"

Broly asked, referring to Crystal Palace's admission of their target.

A fateful encounter?

Seele paused for a moment, then repeated what she had said in a questioning tone.

"Yes, it was a destined encounter. If it weren't for that, I probably wouldn't have said such presumptuous things to someone I just met."

Broly nodded in response.

"Guest, are you sure you weren't attracted by my cute appearance? Not to brag, but I'm quite confident in my looks."

The girl asked with a smile, seemingly not believing in the idea of a destined encounter.

"You are indeed very beautiful, but I am quite certain that without destiny (the Crystal Palace's acknowledged target), without our paths crossing and without getting to know each other deeply, I would never have taken the initiative to pursue you."

However, Broly gave a definite denial, stating that Crystal Palace's external position waifu basically means that someone else had a prior relationship with him or with other waifus.

Like complete strangers, Brolic has never taken the initiative to invite anyone to be his external wife.

To put it bluntly, being cute and pretty is worthless to him, because his wife is basically the same.

Without any prior acquaintance or relationship, a beautiful stranger is no different from any other woman on the street in his eyes.

Seele Frova: "..."

No one can lie before God, even if she is not appearing in the guise of God right now, but that doesn't matter.

In other words, everything the boy said came from the bottom of his heart; he truly considered himself the destined person he was meant to meet.

For a goddess who has always longed to meet her destined partner, this situation is undoubtedly an extremely terrifying attack.

"Mr. Broly, your sweet talk is really a bit corny. Miss Seele is the mascot of the 'Abundant Mistress'."

She is extremely popular with male customers, and even female customers, and is loved by both genders.

"And the sweet nothings she hears every day are far more powerful than what you're saying..."

Before Lorne could finish speaking, he suddenly noticed that the girl next to him, who was the signboard girl, had blushed and seemed genuinely moved. This made him widen his eyes in surprise.

Is this still the same Miss Seele, the lavish hostess who effortlessly handles guests' teasing and can even tease them back?

"You want to pursue me, don't you?"

The girl opened with a sticky question, then chuckled softly.

"But sir, what information do you wish to know about me?"

The girl with gray eyes and gray hair, her cute face slightly flushed, her slender fingers twirling a strand of gray hair by her ear, swayed slightly in place as she asked the question.

“I’m not sure what I want to know, but I’d like to know anything you’re willing to tell me.”

Broly answered seriously, but his gaze was somewhat puzzled as he looked at the Crystal Palace panel, where the other party's happiness value had suddenly increased.

I don't quite understand what you just said. How exactly did it cause the other person's happiness score to increase by more than ten points? Is the girl in front of me also looking forward to meeting her destined partner?

"In that case, my full name is Seele Frova, and my height is 162cm, my age is forever 18, and my measurements are..."

Before Seele could finish speaking, she was interrupted by a shout from the kitchen: "Seele, aren't you going to work or not? The shop is so busy, and you're still slacking off outside?"

"Oh dear, Mia's mother is angry. It seems that I can only reveal this much of my personal information to the guests for now."

Okay, let me confirm one last time. Are you really sure you want to order from this menu? We do not offer refunds once a dish is sold.

"But if you try to dine and dash, you'll get a beating from Mia's mom, and your face will turn into a pig's head!"

The cute gray-haired girl gave a reminder.

"of course."

Broly didn't hesitate; finishing a whole menu was nothing to him.

"Well then, here's a little bonus: information about the elf lady you wish to meet. Her name is Ryu Liang, a very righteous elf girl. She's 165cm tall, and while I can't reveal her age, her measurements are..."

The gray-haired, gray-eyed girl leaned close to the boy's ear. The red-haired little man, who had been listening intently, only heard the first half of the conversation, and nothing at all the second half.

When the urging voices came from the kitchen again, Miss Seele smiled and walked away from the boy, heading towards the kitchen with light steps.

"Xier, what's making you so happy?"

Liu had already served the guests waiting outside twice. When she came back to serve the dishes and saw her smiling friend, she asked her a question with some curiosity.

"I met a very interesting person."

The gray-haired girl answered by handing over the menu. "These are the dishes ordered by the customers at that table over there."

"what?"

Liu was somewhat puzzled.

"I want the whole menu."

"Oh, do they even have the money? Are they trying to dine and dash at our restaurant?"

Ryu immediately became alert, her gaze turning cold and sharp as she looked towards Broly.

Just then, Broly was also looking this way, and their eyes met.

One is serious and vigilant, while the other is somewhat confused.

"Why are you staring at me like that, Miss Elf?"

"Miss Li Ang is known as the 'cold beauty' saleswoman in this store because of her cold attitude."

"Ok."

Broly glanced at the Crystal Palace panel, which was maintaining an empty happiness level, and then looked away.

Judging from the current situation, it seems quite possible to win over Miss Seele.

As for Miss Rion, she seems like the type that's difficult to win over.

"Your stew is here."

Before long, Seele came over quickly, carrying two trays.

"If you need any service, remember to call me."

After putting down the stewed meat and leaving those words, the gray-haired girl went back to the kitchen to continue helping.

"Hey~"

The little giant Mia, who was cooking, sighed as she watched the girl skip into the kitchen, seemingly possessed by Anya.

"You look so happy, could it be that you've fallen in love?"

"That's somewhat of a feeling."

Who is the target?

"A customer who came to our restaurant for dinner tonight."

"If it were an ordinary person, you probably wouldn't even be interested in them."

"Yes, that child was special. He told me that I was the person he was destined to meet or something."

The girl on the signboard cupped her face in her hands, looking like a girl in love, which made the tall female dwarf who glanced at the scene twitch her lips twice.

"This sounds like a seasoned veteran of the dating scene using cheesy pick-up lines he makes up on the spot to deceive an innocent girl."

"No, Mr. Broly wasn't lying."

"Tsk, so they're already speaking up for others..."

Mia was somewhat speechless.

"Forget it, you're not going to lose out anyway."

She used the military spatula in her hand to scoop the stir-fried crabs out of the wok and plate them.

"Alright, now that you're Seele, you'd better do your job properly in the shop."

"No problem, Mia's mom~"

Seele responded enthusiastically and walked out with the plate in her hand.

However, the stir-fried crab, which was originally intended for another table of guests, was taken by her to the table where the Saiyan boy was sitting.

"This is a special service I've secured for you, our guest, to skip the queue!"

After the gray-haired girl finished speaking softly, she put her slender index finger to her lips, as if to indicate that she didn't want the other guests to know about it.

"Mr. Broly, do you possess some special charm ability?"

After watching the mascot girl come and go several times, Lorne Vick finally couldn't help but ask the boy opposite him.

"I don't have that kind of strange skill."

Broly shook his head in denial.

"Why is Miss Seele, whom I only met tonight, so warm to you?"

Lorne was somewhat skeptical and asked the question.

If there really are any special skills, he might be able to ask them for advice; he hasn't forgotten the pig-man girl he likes.

"I don't know that."

Broly was also completely baffled by this.

The only explanation is that the girl named Seele simply finds him more agreeable.

At that moment, the door of the wealthy woman's shop was pushed open again.

The Loki Familia finally arrived.

. . . .

Time goes forward...

"If you ask me, instead of bowing down to that little dwarf, we should just take over her clan members. Anyway, she's only been in the mortal realm for half a year. When I met her recently, she didn't even have a single clan member with her. She definitely hasn't known the child you met now, Ais, for very long..."

On their way to the Tavern of the Abundant Mistress, the red-haired clown god devised a way to avoid bowing to Hestia and shared it with his fellow members of the Familia.

"Loki, stealing members from other clans to join our clan is a serious loss of our clan's reputation!"

Finn reminded him that, in order to revive the dwarves, his greatest concern was reputation.

"Furthermore, the fact that you haven't known each other for long proves that the other person has only been a member of Hestia's Familia for a short time. Don't forget, the rules of the Familias in Orario prohibit members who have been with a Familia for less than a year from leaving and transferring to another Familia. The goddess Hestia can use this reason to refuse your plan to steal someone from her Familia..."

Riveria also offered a reminder.

"If that god sues us then, we'll probably face a fine from the guild."

Grace said.

"Ah, although I said 'rob,' I actually meant to bribe. We can give that little man that Ais met ten or a hundred times the treatment he received with the Hestia Familia."

As long as a member of the clan wants to switch sects, based on my understanding of that little dwarf (Hestia), she certainly won't make things difficult for them.

Then, I'll bring the boys from our clan to roam around in front of her, and I guarantee that little dwarf will be so angry she'll cry!

Jie Jie Jie..."

Hearing their own god's villainous laugh, the Loki Familia members around them were speechless. Despite being the god of one of Orario's two top factions, he now seemed to be stealing someone else's lollipop.

“Loki, I first acknowledge your idea of recruiting outstanding members, but all of this is based on the premise that the little man is willing to be recruited by us. If he himself is unwilling to leave the Hestia Familia, then no matter what you say now, it will be in vain.”

"Haha, aren't all adventurers who come to Orario for just a few goals? Wealth, status, fame, power, and women. As long as we can satisfy their desires, we don't need to worry about them not being tempted..."

Loki said confidently as he walked up to the Tavern of the Abundant Mistress and pushed open the half-height door.

. . . .

"Miya, I'm here to patronize your business!"

Loki called out and led his family members into the shop.

"Eh?"

Then, she heard the girl beside her make a surprised sound.

"What's wrong, Ais?"

The clown god looked over in confusion.

"It's him."

"Who?"

"Broly, the swordsman who defeated me."

"Um?!"
