Shadows of the Deep Space-Chapter 1521 - 508: Sugar Mama (Part 5)

Xia Lan said to Arlene.

"No problem, this way please, Miss Xia Lan!"

Arlene warmly led Xia Lan and the others towards the window seats.

After Su Ming and the others were seated, Arlene smiled and asked.

"Miss Xia Lan, what would you like to eat?"

"The usual."

Xia Lan replied simply.

"Understood!"

The boss lady Arlene smiled and withdrew.

Soon, a waiter brought a pot of clear tea and some exquisite snacks.

Vivian picked up the teapot, poured a cup for each of Su Ming and the group, and said with a smile.

"This restaurant is owned by your Federation; their Snow Tea is very authentic."

Hearing this, Su Ming lifted his cup and took a sip, then said.

"It is indeed quite authentic!"

Although it’s not as good as Long Chen’s tea leaves, it’s still a rare delicacy.

"Su Ming, how did you get tangled up with Lena? That girl is notorious for being obsessed with love."

At this time, Xia Lan asked out of curiosity.

"I’m not sure either, maybe someone pretended to be me. I’ll have to think of a way to investigate later."

Su Ming said with a headache.

"That’s simple, how about I help you investigate?"

Xia Lan said very straightforwardly.

"Okay, I’ll leave it to you then, Miss Xia Lan."

Su Ming hesitated for a moment but eventually accepted Xia Lan’s kindness.

After all, this is Xia Lan’s turf; their investigation is bound to be more efficient than his own.

"No problem!"

Xia Lan waved and said.

"Mr. Su Ming, what brings you to Saint Joex suddenly? Is it for business or personal leisure?"

Vivian asked with a smile.

"I don’t have time for leisure; I’m here on business."

Su Ming did not hide the fact.

"How long do you plan to stay here?"

Xia Lan looked at Su Ming with anticipation and asked.

"I’m not sure, I should be staying for quite a while."

Su Ming shook his head and replied.

On the side, Long Ying felt an inexplicable pressure seeing how familiar Vivian and Xia Lan were with Su Ming.

She didn’t expect Su Ming to be more popular than she imagined.

However, Long Ying didn’t say anything and quietly listened to their chat.

At this moment, Su Ming hesitated and then asked.

"Vivian, Xia Lan, may I ask you something?"

"Mr. Su Ming, no need to be so formal. Whatever you want to know, just ask."

Vivian responded with a subtle change in her eyes.

"I want to ask if it’s true that the Moke Duo Clan Leader is not in Saint Joex?"

Su Ming lowered his voice and inquired.

Vivian and Xia Lan both paused, glancing at each other.

"Mr. Su Ming, we’re sorry, but we really don’t know. The Moke Duo Clan Leader rarely shows himself, and only a few get to see him. Therefore, few people know of his whereabouts."

Vivian replied apologetically.

"It’s okay."

Su Ming waved it off and replied.

"Mr. Su Ming, do you need him for something?"

Xia Lan asked out of curiosity.

"Yes, we went to visit the Morris Family and found out he’s not there, which leaves us clueless about how long we have to wait."

Su Ming sighed and replied.

"Mr. Su Ming, you don’t need to worry. Even though I don’t know whether Mr. Moke Duo is here or not, I have a way for you to meet him."

Vivian said with a smile.

Xia Lan looked at Vivian in confusion, unable to understand what her younger sister’s plan could be.

"What way?"

Su Ming’s eyes lit up immediately and asked eagerly.

Long Ying also looked at Vivian with a serious expression.

"A month from now is Mr. Moke Duo’s thousandth birthday. Although he usually doesn’t like big crowds, a millennium birthday is such an important day that he is sure to hold a grand banquet. He will definitely show up then, and you will be able to meet him."

Vivian explained to Su Ming.

"Thank you so much."

Su Ming, hearing Vivian’s words, said gratefully.

This really was a huge help.

"No need to be polite, we are friends, helping each other is only natural."

Vivian smiled and said to Su Ming.

"Alright!"

Su Ming nodded in agreement.

At this moment, not far to Su Ming’s left, a young man with a plain appearance, wearing a plaid shirt, with short black hair, a high nose bridge, and deep green eyes resembling a profound pond, sat alone at a dining table.

He took out a bag of casually packaged lotus and placed a low-quality cigarette in his mouth, lighting it and taking a deep drag before releasing some smoke rings.

At this time, a young waitress with a gentle face, dressed in a work uniform, walked up to the man and said respectfully while bending down.

"Sir, I’m sorry, but our restaurant is non-smoking. Smoking here will affect other guests."

The young man smiled without speaking, simply placing a stack of ten thousand Federation Coins on the table.

"Sir, it’s not about the money. Smoking here really affects others."

The waitress said with difficulty.

"How about this, I’ll book the entire restaurant."

The young man took out a Black Card and placed it on the table, smiling.

"Sir, there are many guests in the restaurant right now, and we can’t just drive them out."

The waitress replied helplessly.

The young man was not angry, smiling as he said to the waitress.

"That’s simple; I’ll cover everyone’s bills today. Would that work?"

The waitress was stunned for a moment when she heard this, but fortunately, the boss lady Arlene came over and replied with a smile.

"No problem, sir."

"That’s good."

The young man took another deep drag on his cigarette and gently exhaled.

At this time, the boss lady Arlene addressed all the guests.

"Dear guests, due to this gentleman’s smoking habit, he is graciously inviting everyone in the restaurant; we hope you can understand!"
