Chapter 21

For her visit, Luo Feng found it very strange, as he was just an obscure and insignificant person, and he seemed to have no connection with her or the Swift Wind Chamber of Commerce.

So Luo Feng tentatively asked, "President Lucia, may I ask, what do you need from me?"

The woman smiled, a beautiful smile, but her makeup gave her a somewhat eerie aura: "Nothing much, Student Luo Feng. If it's convenient for you, I would like to invite you to my home for dinner tomorrow night."

Luo Feng was taken aback: "Dinner?"

The beautiful woman nodded: "Yes, I will have someone prepare the dinner."

Luo Feng was even more flattered. He never imagined that a chamber president would invite him, let alone share a meal. After all, someone of her status and influence would have friends who were either wealthy or powerful, and what was his status?

"Is it okay?" The black-clad beauty asked again. Luo Feng snapped out of his daze and hurriedly replied, "President Lucia, although it might be impolite, I still want to ask, we are not related, and I am just a poor boy. Do I even have the qualifications to be your guest?"

"You do, Luo Feng. You absolutely have the qualifications. And I can assure you, this will be an opportunity you won't want to miss!" The black-clad beauty smiled. "But this isn't the best place to talk. We can discuss everything in detail tomorrow night. For now, I just want to confirm if you are willing to grace us with your presence?"

Given that a chamber president had personally come to invite him, the sincerity was evident. It seemed there was nothing he had that she would want to harm him for. After a brief hesitation, he said, "Alright, President Karinna."

"Then, tomorrow evening, I will send someone to pick you up. See you then." Lucia said, and her figure once again disappeared into the darkness, leaving Luo Feng with a big mystery.

The appearance of this mysterious and beautiful president added a small ripple to Luo Feng's life. The next day, he kept thinking about it, feeling somewhat restless, trying to guess all the possible reasons for Lucia's invitation, but he kept refuting them one by one until the afternoon classes ended.

It was another day off, and the Energy Tower was closed for maintenance. Luo Feng usually would have gone to the practice field, but with such a big figure inviting him, he naturally didn't want to keep her waiting. So he went straight back to the dormitory after class.

From a distance, he saw Aaron trying to open the door with a key, but he seemed distracted. He tried several times but couldn't get the door open.

Recently, Aaron had been avoiding Luo Feng, perhaps feeling awkward or for some other reason, so Luo Feng rarely saw his roommate. Now, seeing him, Luo Feng said happily, "Hey, Aaron!"

"Aah, Luo Feng?" Aaron looked up, and his expression immediately became complicated.

Due to the heavy blow of losing his first love, Aaron had been very depressed lately. He felt extremely unlucky and had lost the mood to bother with Luo Feng, so he hadn't been attending classes or practicing.

"Let me do it." Seeing Aaron's repeated failures, Luo Feng took the key and opened the door.

Before his roommate went back into the room, Luo Feng said, "Aaron, if you can, let's talk."

Aaron hesitated for a moment and finally stopped: "What do you want to talk about?"

"Actually, I'm really worried about you." Luo Feng cleared his throat. "I know some bad things happened between us, and you feel lost."

Aaron's fair face flushed, and he felt a bit angry.

Damn it, can you stop mentioning that night? Do you think I'm not already bothered enough!

Luo Feng, of course, didn't know what he was thinking and continued, "But, Aaron, you need to know, it was an accident, a small one. You were just drunk. Just treat it as a slightly excessive joke, and don't take it to heart. Don't let it affect your studies."

A slightly excessive joke?

Aaron's eyes widened. I lost my first love, and you think it's just a joke? How despicable!

Luo Feng walked over and patted his shoulder. "Let those unpleasant things go. Cheer up, Aaron. You look gentle, but I believe you are a strong person. Even if there are obstacles in your heart, you can overcome them. You have to move forward and not live in the shadow of the past, right?"

At this point, Luo Feng was convinced that his roommate was feeling down because of the awkward incident. His encouragement, though misguided, did have an impact on Aaron.

You're right, I'm the little demon Scarlett. I can't let a little setback make me depressed.

Luo Feng, since I lost my first kiss to you, I can't just give up. I will make you pay tenfold, a hundredfold for my loss!

From now on, I won't run away anymore. Just wait and see!

Thinking this, Aaron's previously dull eyes began to sparkle. "Yeah, Luo Feng, you're right. I need to face it bravely!"

Seeing his spirit completely change, Luo Feng, unaware of Aaron's true intentions, thought he had resolved his issues and felt relieved. "That's more like it."

Aaron couldn't wait. "So, are you going to the training field tonight? Let's go together?"

"Tonight?" Luo Feng hesitated. "I'm afraid not. I have a date!"

Aaron asked, "Oh, with Bart?"

Luo Feng shook his head. "No!"

"Then with Kiki?" Aaron's eyes twinkled, and he had already made up his mind. If Luo Feng was dating Kiki, he would find a way to ruin their date.

Hmph, Luo Feng, from now on, I will do everything I can to stop you from achieving anything. This is the consequence of taking my first kiss from me!

"Not Kiki either!" Luo Feng's answer surprised Aaron. As far as he knew, his roommate only knew three people in the training camp: Bart, Kiki, and himself. Who else could he go out with during this rare holiday?

"It's like this, someone invited me to dinner tonight." Luo Feng hesitated. "Her name is Lucia, and I heard she is the president of a chamber of commerce."

Although telling a third party about the invitation was a bit impolite, it wasn't a secret. Even if Luo Feng trusted Lucia, he still had some reservations. So he decided to tell his roommate. If anything happened and he didn't return, Aaron could inform the camp's director, General Jocken, ensuring his safety.

Aaron blurted out, "The president of the Swift Wind Chamber of Commerce, Lucia?"

"Ah, yes, the Swift Wind Chamber of Commerce!" Luo Feng was surprised. "Aaron, how did you know?"

"Well, I heard about it by chance. This chamber seems to have some reputation in Victoria City."

Luo Feng didn't suspect much. "Oh, I see."

Since Aaron knew Lucia was the president of the Swift Wind Chamber of Commerce, her identity should be reliable. Such a person wouldn't make things difficult for him.

Aaron was puzzled. Of course, he wasn't just hearing about the Swift Wind Chamber of Commerce and Lucia by chance. As a native of Victoria City, he should have known about them.

A once prominent chamber, a once promising genius beauty.

But that was in the past. After that incident, the fate of the chamber and the genius beauty changed dramatically, causing many to sigh in regret.

But why is Lucia looking for Luo Feng?

Aaron, with his strong curiosity, asked, "Do you know Lucia? Why is she looking for you?"

"No, before yesterday, we had never met. As for why she's looking for me," Luo Feng shrugged. "I'm also very puzzled. She just invited me to dinner, and that's all she said."

"Oh, I see," Aaron realized he couldn't get more information from Luo Feng and gave up.

"Aaron, I have to go. Lucia sent someone to pick me up, and it wouldn't be good to keep her waiting. Let's go to class and practice together another day." Luo Feng went into the room, changed into a relatively clean and decent outfit, and went to the magic department to tell Kiki he had something important to do and couldn't accompany her tonight. Then he headed straight for the training camp's main gate.

A carriage was already waiting. The carriage was pulled by a snow-white horse with long wings, a creature known as a Pegasus, which, unlike aggressive and violent beasts, could be tamed.

When Luo Feng appeared, a woman, around twenty-six or twenty-seven, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, jumped down from the carriage. She had a very professional and mature demeanor.

Approaching Luo Feng, she adjusted her glasses and asked, "Are you Student Luo Feng?"

Luo Feng nodded. "Yes, you are..."

"I am Demy, President Lucia's secretary. Student Luo Feng, it's a pleasure to meet you." After shaking hands with Luo Feng, Demy continued, "The president is preparing dinner, so she sent me to pick you up. If there are any shortcomings, please don't take it to heart."

"No, no, Miss Demy, you're too kind." Luo Feng was flattered again. Having a secretary come to pick him up was already a high honor, and from Demy's tone, it seemed that Lucia was personally preparing the dinner, which was an even greater honor.

What qualifications do I have to receive such treatment?

[It's a new week, and during the ranking period, flowers are very important. I urgently need your support. If you like the thief's works, don't let the flowers go to waste. Send them all over!]
