Storm of Gods

Chapter 90 Luther's Pie
At this time, Luo Xue had already booked the top floor of the very famous Harmony Restaurant near the Holy Ze Church in Tianjing to welcome the students of the Holy Ze Church.

“This restaurant was Luther’s favorite back then, and it was one of his early businesses. The dishes were all created by Luther the Grand Chancellor,” Lu Shuai said.

The person in charge of the introduction was neither Luo Xue nor Zhao Qing. Ever since the Holy Ze Academy arrived, Zhao Qing, who had been trying to make a name for himself after their brief encounter in Longjing, found himself marginalized again.

"This kind of round dish that combines ingredients is called Luther Pie. It is made with the best flour and topped with all kinds of fresh seafood, sausages, ham, vegetables, etc., which can be matched according to personal preferences. It is the Grand Consul's original creation," Lu Shuai felt that he was getting more and more handsome.

He liked the feeling of everyone listening attentively to him. "There's another secret, passed down only within our family: never, ever put pineapple in Luther Pie."

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and they all asked curiously why.

Lu Shuai shrugged. "I don't know, but the elders in my family have all mentioned it. They know it very well. To be honest, I think it tastes pretty good with pineapple."

Simmons and the others laughed. Regardless of the circumstances, outsiders always showed some respect to the descendants of Grand Consul Luther. "Thank you for the introduction, Mr. Luther."

Lu Shuai sat down contentedly. It was a pity that Li Xin was missing from such a moment of showing off. After all, how could one show off without the company of a brother?

At Luo Xue's suggestion, everyone raised their glasses and enjoyed Luther's Pie together. The reason for such a grand banquet for Simmons's Holy Zeal Academy was to prepare for the Four Nations Tournament. Li Long and Moncaleta have always had a good relationship, as has been the case in history.

Before the other teams arrive, Luo Xue needs the Holy Ze Academy to seriously spar with them so she can get a better understanding of their strengths and weaknesses. As the president of the Black Rose Guild, she also needs to make more friends. Being from the same secret fortress gives them an inherent advantage, and there is no direct conflict of interest. The Four Nations Tournament is a must-win for Tianjing, but it is not that important for Holy Ze.

Tianjing is going all out, and if Shengze isn't so eager for victory, their chances of winning increase even further.

In terms of conversation, Zhao Qing and Lu Shuai are both very good at it. Roland also joined in for a few words. Montcareta encouraged people to go out and learn better things from abroad to bring back to the great Montcareta and make their homeland more prosperous. Simmons even raised a glass to Roland. Of course, a game is a game, and there is no such thing as giving way. On the contrary, he hoped that Roland could play his best.

"President Luo Xue, I remember there was also Li Xin. Why didn't he come?" Simmons asked casually.

"He has something else to do," Luo Xue said with a slight smile.

“Really? I see something familiar in him,” Simmons said with a smile.

“Perhaps you two are destined to be together,” Luo Xue said.

Neither admitting nor denying, let Simmons guess. Having another Fortress Warrior is her trump card. Luo Xue also plans to keep Li Xin hidden until the main competition, then give them a surprise.

Simmons didn't press the matter. He wouldn't let it go unchecked; he needed to find an opportunity to confirm Li Xin's identity, as it would directly affect future plans. He hadn't come all this way just to play a game.

As the richest morning sunlight streamed evenly onto the windowsill, Christian had finished his morning training. A high-intensity psionic training session lasting several hours had maintained his strong physique to match his unwavering will, and now it was time for his short rest.

In the elegant and luxurious room, Christian was sipping his coffee with his eyes half-closed. It was a new product from the plantation in the southern part of the Dao Yuan Continent, which had crossed oceans and mountains and was only available to a very few nobles who appreciated coffee.

Holding up the exquisite coffee cup, the steam from the coffee mingles with the sunlight, giving one a sense of fulfillment and comfort. Taking a sip, it has a slightly sour taste, followed by the aroma of nuts and citrus. It's alright, neither exceeding expectations nor disappointing.

He opened his beloved red notebook to jot down some thoughts. Another roundtable discussion, and it was still his stage. The seasoned Taurus had unexpectedly capsized. Haha, this big oaf! To be honest, it was a bit surprising. With his abilities, he should have been able to handle the problem properly. This kind of old hand doesn't fall so easily; it just takes him quite a while to recover.

Gemini, sigh, this is probably the difference in talent. I'm about to embark on my great journey of the Three Fates, while he's still lingering at the door. Perhaps I should encourage him. He and Taurus have both benefited from Miss Aries's good fortune, and I hope they can cherish it.

Aries... Miss Aries doesn't even understand her own path. It seems her family doesn't belong to the Diamond Layer of Dao Abyss. Although I was mentally prepared, I'm still a little disappointed. Deep down, I'm hoping for a plot twist like in a romance novel, but it's okay, I'm here!

Miss Aries' talent is still commendable, and unlocking her two stars is good news.

A lady from a distinguished family needs to possess five basic qualities: ever-present self-confidence, enduring kindness, courage ingrained in her blood, gentleness like a spring breeze, and resilience etched into her very being.

Based on our interactions so far, Ms. Aries has all five essential qualities. Although her family background may have lowered her score, her personal qualities have made up for the deficiency.

I explained the road to her.

Christian stopped writing here. He felt that he had already made his hints quite obvious and had given Miss Aries several glances. Miss Aries could have asked him privately, and he would have explained it to her further and given her thoughtful personal guidance. He taught her how to cultivate spiritual energy to strengthen her body, but the path of cultivation was full of dangers.

Why didn't she ask?

Isn't the implication obvious enough?
Or should I be more proactive?
No, never!

Christian picked up the exquisite gold quill pen, dipped it in ink, and continued writing:

It seems Aries and Gemini had a bit of a disagreement. I suspect it's because of what happened last time. Gemini is such a handful! I hope he won't keep bothering Aries. I really hope Aries learns to say no.

Christian was immersed in an uncomfortable mood, and gradually the little coffee in his cup was emptied. He felt that he had given too much of his precious time and energy to the people at the Roundtable, and he was worried sick about making sure they could keep up with him.

He gently shook his head and began to write: Geniuses are like meteorites, destined to burn themselves to illuminate others.

I closed the diary, put the pen away, and suddenly felt a bit of back pain. Damn, pretending to be cool is so tiring. But then there was a knock on the door, and when the butler came in, there was a handsome and imposing Lord Christian sitting in front of me, and the red diary on the table had disappeared.

"Young Master, the second young lady of the Maxim family, the eldest young lady of the Potter family, and the fifth young lady of the Phil family would like to invite you on a hike this afternoon," the butler said respectfully.

Christian thought for a moment, then waved his hand dismissively, "Tell them I don't have time."
