'Now, I can finally enjoy my time tasting different cuisines of this world.'
Cain thought after he chased away Fenix, as this guy would only ruin his mood with his harsh comment about things he hadn't even experienced yet.
To be fair though, Fenix should honestly feel like that since the stronger the things, the tastier it tastes, according to most of the novels that he had read.
Because Fenix was a strong person who had reached Conqueror Rank Awakener, he should've tasted dishes that were made from beasts and treasures of at least the same rank as him.
An hour later, Cain had finished eating all of the dishes as well as collected a lot of information by 'eavesdropping' on every conversation within the restaurant.
The most interesting news he had gathered this whole time was that people talked about the origin of the Starlight Auction House.
Some people guessed that its headquarters was located in the Main World, and some people guessed that it was from either the Mid-level World or at most the High-level World.
These people guessed that was because this time, the timing for the auction that the Starlight Auction House held monthly just happened to be in this kingdom.
As one of the strongest merchants in this world, they only held auctions every once in a while, more precisely every month, and the place was randomly chosen from the first-rate forces.
They also held a big auction that they only held once a year, and the place they chose for this auction was also randomly chosen but only to be held in one of the top force's locations.
As Cain was still lost in thoughts while 'eavesdropping' on the conversation within the restaurant, he came back to his senses when he noticed that Fenix had been calling him out for a bit after he finished his job.
Cain then made a projection in the beast space and looked at the simple house Fenix had built in more than 30 hours.
The house was built really simply from the outside, as it was just built from wood that Fenix took from the beast space.
The building itself was spacious, around 600 square meters, featuring a luxurious bedroom with an attached bathroom and a cozy living room equipped with high-end furniture.
Even though the looks from the outside were just like a simple wooden house, the interior was different, as Cain had bought a lot of furniture that was the most expensive within the stores he had visited.
Subsequently, Cain summoned Fenix out before calling the previous waitress, because he wanted to ask for the bills as well as booking the best room since this restaurant also has an inn.
"..."
Fenix was speechless when Cain wanted to book a room, because he had already tirelessly built the house by himself for more than a day.
"Why are you booking a room after making me build a house for more than a day?" Fenix asked as they walked towards the room through the backyard of the restaurant.
Cain only glanced at Fenix and asked coldly. "What? Do you have a problem with that?"
"Of course not, My Lord! I'm really honored instead since I can build the house for you by myself." Fenix immediately shivered and quickly flattered Cain while laughing awkwardly. Experience more on empire
"Good. From now on, all hard labor will be your responsibility." Cain only nodded in response, as he thought that Fenix was stupid enough to ask about something like that when there was an outsider.
Naturally he wouldn't explain it to him as the reason he wanted to take a rest on the beast space was because of the difference in time.
Since it would be disastrous if the news was leaked that he had a beast space that was 30x faster than the outside world and he could let not only his contracted beasts but every living being go inside it.
Because with only that function, a lot of strong forces would definitely target him, as they could make good use of it with a lot of things.
When they arrived in front of the room, the waitress handed the key and said, "This is the key, sir. The room is soundproof, with formations to ensure privacy."
"How much is the total?" Cain asked.
"The total for the meals and the room is two Low Rank Diamond Crystals, sir!" The waitress answered with a smile.
Cain then tossed three low-rank diamond crystals before immediately entering the room so that the waitress wouldn't refuse it.
"Thank you so much." The waitress bowed as she unknowingly let out a few tears slipped from her eyes, feeling that she might finally have gathered enough money for her little sister's treatment now since Cain gave her a big tip twice.
Even though Cain was still inside, he sensed and even knew about what happened outside his room and felt that at least he had done a good deed in this new life.
He then opened a portal towards the beast space and instructed Fenix to guard the outside for a while since he wanted to have a rest properly inside the beast space.
…
"What is your 'main body' doing right now? Why did you leave in a hurry earlier?" Anya pinched Cain's arm as he closed his eyes, resting under a tree.
Cain's clone opened his eyes slowly and looked at Anya before answering, "There is something that I need to take care of so that I can help Nix recover from his injuries."
"Oh, okay. What about your promise after you become the king?" Anya asked as she pouted unhappily.
"How about this? Tomorrow, you and the others will go to the Velmara Kingdom, and we'll do it there." Cain suggested because he was also helpless as he had always been busy.
Otherwise, how could he resist the temptation when a beautiful girl like Anya was the one who wanted to do it with him.
"Really?" Anya asked with an excited expression.
"Of course. But first, let's convince Elara and Sylvia," Cain added with a smile.
