Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong
Chapter 1313 - Chapter 1313 Chapter 781 Lord and Lunar Temple Holy Maiden

Chapter 1313: Chapter 781: Lord and Lunar Temple Holy Maiden (Part 1)_1 Chapter 1313: Chapter 781: Lord and Lunar Temple Holy Maiden (Part 1)_1 “Wind Chime Pavilion” is the most luxurious inn in Karley City, located in the heart of the city’s bustling commercial center.

The guests here are either noble dignitaries of the kingdom or wealthy merchants with enormous fortunes. They are far beyond the reach of ordinary civilians.

In the spacious and brightly lit lobby of the inn, neatly arranged Light Crystal Stones shimmer brilliantly, making the intricate golden patterns, leaf decorations, and scalloped ornaments on the walls gleam with elegance and magnificence, reflecting the gleaming white marble floor tiles.

Nobles and wealthy merchants dressed in gorgeous clothes can be seen leisurely enjoying themselves, sipping from tall glasses, and laughing with ease.

No one noticed that with a gentle breeze, two slender figures had already entered the hall and were heading to the private rooms on the upper floor of the inn.

These two women were none other than the sisters Elusa and Teresa.

Guided by Elusa, Teresa soon entered an extremely luxurious inn room.

As soon as she stepped into the luxurious room, a refreshing fragrance of butter wafted into Teresa’s nostrils.

With a gentle sniff, Teresa gazed intently ahead.

This was a banquet hall, under the dazzling and glittering Crystal Tassel Chandelier, where a long rectangular banquet table, covered with a beige-colored tablecloth, was filled with various mouth-watering dishes, still steaming hot.

A group of impressive figures had already taken their seats at the long dining table, apparently waiting for her arrival.

Witnessing this scene, though Teresa’s calm and pale face remained expressionless, she couldn’t help but be surprised.

Before she came here, she had thought of more than a dozen possible negotiation scenarios, each of them solemn and imposing, with extremely high security measures.

However, choosing such a public and luxurious inn for the negotiation venue, with people coming and going, was totally beyond her expectations.

After all, the main theme of the negotiation was a decisive battle concerning the survival of the other party. She didn’t expect that they were still hosting such a leisurely banquet, even with the sword of Damocles hanging over their heads!

While feeling surprised, Teresa continued to observe.

At the head of the table sat a young man with a peaceful expression. In his pitch-black eyes, only a faint smile could be seen, without any signs of panic or anxiety.

This untroubled demeanor in the face of adversity was enough to show that he would not be easy to deal with.

Teresa’s gaze naturally fell upon Leo Ray, who was the Lord.

As for Ray’s appearance, she was not unfamiliar.

Just as Elusa had guessed before, Teresa had been secretly observing the Territory Defense Battle. However, this was the first time they had come into close contact with each other.

While Teresa was secretly pondering in her heart, she saw that Elusa had already come to Ray’s side and respectfully saluted him, saying, “Lord, allow me to introduce my younger sister Teresa!”

“She is the 11th Holy Maiden of the Saint Night Kingdom’s Moon Palace, that’s all.”

Teresa snorted once, then coldly said, “Mr. Lane, you’re still enjoying yourselves here, eating and drinking despite being on the brink of disaster, how good-natured of you.”

“I simply skipped lunch earlier, so thought why not take this opportunity to taste the traditional cuisine of the Saint Night Kingdom?” Ray responded with a faint smile and raised eyebrow.

As Teresa gave a subtle glance, Ray naturally observed her without making any noise.

Standing at the entrance of the room, Teresa did not disguise herself with any illusionary magic, instead revealing her true identity as a Dark Elf.

Although her handsome and indifferent white face was almost identical to Elusa’s, displaying the elegant charm of the Elf race, her tall and slender figure formed a stark contrast with Elusa’s petite size.

“I remember Elusa mentioned that Teresa is her twin sister. From this, it’s not hard to see that the dark elf sisters are more distinct from Serena and Stella, who were identical, as they are fraternal twins.”

As Ray thought this, he quickly noticed a hint of surprise in Teresa’s eyes.

“It seems that my sudden idea of hosting this meal really took her by surprise.”

Ray nodded slightly, then took a slow, deep breath.

Although he appeared calm, Ray’s heart was in turmoil.

After all, to some extent, this indifferent and aloof woman of the Dark Elf race standing before him possessed the power to control the fate of the territory.

However, Ray knew very well that in a negotiation where he had hardly any bargaining chips, it was obviously an unequal one.

If he showed any negative emotions such as fear or uneasiness, he would definitely be taken advantage of and the other party would hand them victory on a silver platter.

Instead of doing that, it was better to remain calm and mysterious, treating the other party as an equal rather than a subordinate, to keep them guessing and thus extract more information from them.

Only in this way could he find a breakthrough in the negotiation and make it develop in his favor.

With this in mind, Ray did not show any flattery or appeasement to Teresa, the Moon Palace Holy Maiden who had half of the Saint Night Kingdom under her control. Instead, he raised his hand gracefully as a host would and said, “Our protagonist is here, and the food has just been served.”
