Heavenly Dao Child 154 Meeting behind closed doors

Samuel escorted Ryuu to a V.I.P. room which had various arrays placed inside it activated as soon as the doors of room were closed in such a way as that no outside person may spy on the meeting going on inside, a standard V.I.P. room creating protocol for Shangri-la Pavilion.

As Ryuu lowered his hood Samuel was stunned silence at seeing the person in front of as his heart skipped a beat, but he quickly took control of his heart as he felt a little bit disgusted with himself at being stunned silence upon seeing Ryuu in such an unsightly manner, as he began his conversation with Ryuu, "Esteemed Daoist Sir would you like some Tea."

Ryuu: "Yes I would love some, Senior Samuel."

Samuel quickly bowed towards him as he spoke, "Please sir you do not embarrass me by calling me such titles you are our esteemed guest."

Ryuu smiled as he replied, "That may be true but whether it be my cultivation, age or experience I pale in comparison to you Senior."

Samuel smiled at Ryuu: "Daoist sir you really are not only humble but incredibly polite, a people like you are incredibly rare. But enough of this how may I be of service to you."

Ryuu: "Oh yes senior Samuel I want to sell a few items through Shangri-la Pavilion.", as Ryuu was speaking he took a few items from his Space ring.

A couple of bottles of "Tribulation Pills", a couple of "Tribulation Lightning Talismans"

Samuel quickly inspected them as he spoke with small smile," This are all what I would refer to as premium quality each of them I will pay you at a mid level Immortal stones for both of them if you want to take cash just now but of you wait we will have a Grand Auction which will occur two months from now and I can assure you with such high quality products you can earn a lot more."

Ryuu spoke with a sigh, "As much as I would love to wait for it, I would love to venture out and I do not know if I would return here at all."

Samuel gave a smile as he spoke, "Daoist sir, you are the holder of Xegreacium card you may withdraw the amount from any branch of Shangri-la, you do not have to visit this branch particularly on top of this you have also the authority to invest on our business should you choose to."

Ryuu was stunned on hearing that what did his Master gave him this time, he gulped at that as he took a sip from the delicious tea which calmed his nerve somehow, this card according to his Master was a belated gift from his sisters he did not understood the full implication about the card but now he did.

Samuel gave a puzzled stare at Ryuu, "Did her Majesty not tell you about its functions when she gave you this gift?"

Ryuu sighed as he spoke, "I haven't seen Her Majesty for a three years now as she has been busy with her work as for this card I received from her as a birthday gift and I was told to figure out its purpose since it had the markings of Shangri-la Pavilion I came to the first one I found after I left for adventuring."

Samuel was stunned to hear someone who had been in such close relation and from what he had seen the person looked to be a teenager he was curious as well as afraid to think about the family background of Ryuu.

After a few minutes of discussion regarding various benefits and what not along with another cup of tea along with a few mouth full of cookies, cakes and biscuits later Ryuu stood up as he was bid farewell Samuel extended his hands making Ryuu confused as he spoke, "Daoist Sir, it is the custom of the people of your planets to shake hands as a means to say good fortune and good luck."

Ryuu extended his hands only to frown as he spoke, "Oh before I forget Senior Samuel, I will be staying here for a few days can you recommend me any good inn for me stay."

Samuel closed his eyes as he thought over Ryuu's question as he spoke, "Actually Daoist Sir I might know the best inn for you to stay, but since I have unfortunately some urgent matters to attend I will not be able to show you personally and I hope you will not mind if I send one of my subordinates to show you the way."

Ryuu: "Please I will not mind in fact I will be extremely helpful to you for your help."

Samuel then called for his subordinates while Ryuu had already put on his hood hididng his face already from the view as he was escorted to the inn.

As Ryuu left Samuel placed a hand on his furiously beating heart as he fell on the chair he was seating before as he muttered to himself, "What kind of being is this Ryuu fellow? All the time my heart was going out of crazy I have heard and seen beauties being called as 'Kingdom Destroying', but today I saw the real deal if he goes without his hood he might cause a giant riot and the fall of the Empire I must warn the king, but to think it was a he not a she that made me feel like this.", his face turned green at the thought.

Currently everyone who heard did not know what to say to him except for Jaelynn who jumped up and literally shouted at him as she shook her finger towards him, "You old bastard stay away from him."

Samuel sighed as he gave a wary smile, "See this is what I was afraid of, even though I feel no wrong about people falling in love with who so ever they want but this is too much, even more disgusting is I am a happily married person yet to feel like that is blasphemous, and Princess rest assure I want nothing to do with him."

At that others gulped if the Princess is acting like that what of others who glances at him, Vincenzo suddenly spoke, "I pity that child he will be forced to spend most of the time hiding his face because of this but most importantly every person who will fall for him will be because of his face not because they care for him, I think it is a curse and heaven's forbid some insane Devil or Demonic cultivator catches him in its eyes."

Broderick was feeling the mother of all headaches from the situation as he frowned but suddenly a smile formed on his face as he spoke, "Sister the 'Nether realm Grotto , will open again sometime within two weeks right?"

Brice nodded at her brother as she spoke, "What are you planning brother?"

Michelle felt a shiver ran down her spine as she saw the grin form on her husband's face much to her horror, 'Oh no he is going to do something insane again.'

Broderick, "We are going to invite Ryuu to join our team going for excursion into the ruins."

Brice was flabbergasted at that as the others started shouting protesting against the idea, "Brother he is an outsider are you going to trust him to accompany our team."

Broderick gave an irritated shout, "Enough you all know how badly your team performed the last time it entered only one survived but was a broken woman who took her life as soon as she got out, those Stocaea and Idromore bastards betrayed our alliance and teamed with those blasted Wafaelia kindom slaughter our men then raped our woman until they were broken husk yet we could not take revenge on them because of their superior might, we were pushed hard by them for so long but no more after ten years I thought that we would be able to stand strong and have our revenge but as you all can see the strongest cultivators under 40 are at 5th Wanxiang adept rank yet from what my spies told me the combined strength of those three kingdom has produced not one not two but three rank 7th Wanxiang Adept do we have a chance when at all, when only two hundred people are able to enter according to their strength who knows how many hidden tiger and crouching dragons will be present there."

At his speech everyone fell in deep thought the days of their beloved homeland seemed dark.

Michelle: "I understand all that but how do we approach him after all we are strangers to him I do not think he will agree."

Jaelynn with great vigor stood up as she spoke, "I will invite surely my beloved will listen to me."

Brice suddenly shouted at her niece with anger, "Will you shut up and sit down you love sick fool."

Even her youngest brother was now feeling creeped out at his older sister's behavior.

Suddenly Samuel had an idea as she spoke, "My liege if I am not wrong but isn't General Vincenzo's 00th marriage anniversary coming within two days."

Vincenzo looked curiously at him as he spoke, "Brother Samuel what do you want with my anniversary?"

Samuel: "I can visit him and tell him about the grotto and entice him with an adventure, and then I will tell him that I would help him get a place by getting him acquainted with his Majesty and his General and I will bring him during the party."

Vicenzo immediately refused as he crossed his hands to further solidify the idea as he spoke, "No no no, you may not I do not want my marriage anniversary to be ruined by some handsome bastard, we will meet him in his Majesty's office if necessary."

Samuel: "Brother why do you not arrange for a masked theme party, by doing so he will be forced to wear a mask and your party will be saved moreover he will be more relaxed and it will be easier to befriend him while having his guard relaxed at the party otherwise it will be difficult to ask for his help and if we pressurize who knows who might appear to help him, and believe me when in say I have seen this kind of children from powerful families before they might claim to be alone but are usually surrounded by many strong guards and if we make any wrong move it might prove fatal to us."

At that everyone feel deep in thought unaware of how true Samuel's words were after all even unknown to Ryuu himself he was under constant surveillance of a group of five 'Wojownik Cienia'.
