“The winner is contestant number 66, Mo Li.” The semi-finals were over, and with the referee’s announcement, Mo Li successfully advanced to the final match.
On the other side, the other finalist was also determined, and unsurprisingly, it was Barlow.
Mo Li sheathed his sword, Han Xi.
Since the existence of this sword had already been exposed, there was no need to keep it hidden any longer.
As soon as he stepped onto the stage, he skipped any probing and directly unleashed Han Xi, causing his opponent to surrender.
Now that the little incident had come to an end with Norma’s intervention, Mo Li recalled the pig-liver-colored face of Viscount Minster as he left.
Mo Li wondered if that restless old man would stir up some big news in the coming days.
“Mr. Mo Li, may I have a word?” Just as Mo Li was stepping off the stage, a somewhat familiar female voice called out to him.
Looking up, oh, it was an old acquaintance.
The young lady was dressed in a fitting noble gown, with brown hair and a passable appearance.
This was the second daughter of the Minster family, Martha.
Generally speaking, Mo Li wouldn’t bother remembering the names of noble family members who left him with nothing but bad impressions.
However, this one was different.
Mo Li not only remembered her name but also her birthday, personality traits, favorite jewelry, and clothing style.
“It’s been a while.
I hope you still remember me.” The girl smiled calmly, her hands gathered at her abdomen, looking very ladylike.
“How could I forget?” Mo Li returned a calm smile.
“Miss Martha, right?” How could he forget, after all, she was the one who pushed him into the abyss in his previous life.
How could he forget so easily?
“Thank you for your kindness, sir, you still remember me.” Martha placed her hands on her chest.
“Miss Martha left a deep impression on me, how could I not remember?” Indeed, she left a deep impression.
Things you like and things you find disgusting often leave a deep impression.
Staring at Martha for a long time, Mo Li’s gaze gradually became strange.
This prolonged stare was different from when he looked at the princess of the Papal State and Elsa.
The former two were because he was amazed, but this time it was because Mo Li couldn’t understand.
He couldn’t understand why in his previous life he would go through fire and water for such a woman.
What was he after?
In terms of looks, Martha was just slightly better looking than the average person, not even a tenth, no, not even a hundredth of his dragon form!
In terms of personality, she was a typical green tea b*tch who stepped on the low and praised the high.
In terms of XP, sorry, this woman was plain and unremarkable, just a bit more pretentious than the average person.
You could find a clothesline on any street corner more interesting than her.
Maybe he had seen too many peerless beauties, causing Mo Li’s aesthetic standards to soar several levels.
But aside from appearance, Mo Li still couldn’t find any advantage in this woman.
Apart from her deliberately crafted persona, there was really nothing about her that was eye-catching.
However, Martha clearly misunderstood Mo Li’s gaze, thinking she had some great charm, and deliberately turned her face away, pretending to be shy.
Mo Li secretly rolled his eyes.
“Can we find a quiet place to sit down and talk?”
“Oh, sure, of course.” Mo Li replied with a smile.
Usually, you wouldn’t see them, but as soon as he advanced to the finals, the Minster family came looking for him.
No need to say more about their intentions, right?
Now, he just wanted to see what this clown was up to.
Besides, the little item he exchanged from the ring this morning might come in handy…
Mo Li patted his chest and made a gesture of invitation.
“Where would Miss Minster like to talk?”
“I know a newly opened restaurant in Fran City that I’ve always wanted to try.
Would Mr. Mo Li like to join me?” Martha elegantly performed a curtsy.
“As you wish.”
Before long, the two arrived at a café in the northern part of the city.
The atmosphere and decor of a café at the noble consumption level were naturally excellent, with every brick and tile exuding the aura of high society.
After entering and sitting down, when the waiter brought the menu, Mo Li followed his usual practice, randomly ordering dishes by name, regardless of whether he had tried them before.
Anyway, just order them.
In such situations, it’s usually the gentleman who covers the bill to show chivalry, but Mo Li was different.
I’ll eat my fill, and you pay.
After all, you’re the one who invited me, and no matter what, I just don’t have money.
“Before I knew it, Mo Li has made it to the finals.
Congratulations, Mo Li.” Martha congratulated.
“Mm.” Mo Li responded flatly, focusing intently on devouring a piece of cake, as if the desserts on the table were more captivating than Martha herself.
“Um, Mo Li, actually there’s something I’ve been meaning to tell you…” Seeing Mo Li’s lack of reaction, Martha had to play her trump card early.
She twisted and turned, her face blushing slightly, as if shyly hesitating.
“Hey, what’s wrong with you? Not feeling well lately?” Mo Li looked at her in amazement.
“Not feeling well? … No.” Martha was taken aback.
“I see you not eating, have a bite.
This dessert shop is really good, don’t be shy.” After all, he wasn’t paying.
“Oh, oh, I am eating… um, there’s something I’ve been holding back for a long time, and I can’t suppress the urge any longer.
I want to tell you.”
“Huh? Holding back for a long time.” Mo Li was puzzled.
“Are you constipated?”
“Con-constipated?!” Martha privately tightened her grip on her skirt, enduring repeatedly.
If it weren’t for the task at hand, she really wanted to stand up now, roll her eyes at Mo Li, call him crazy, and leave.
Was this man doing it on purpose? … No, it shouldn’t be.
Just a while ago, this guy was like a lapdog, following orders.
His personality couldn’t have changed so quickly.
“Mr. Mo Li, what are you talking about? I mean, there’s something I’ve been holding in my heart…”
“Oh, I see.” Mo Li nodded, showing an understanding expression.
“Holding back words is detrimental to mental and physical health, but saying them might affect others’ mental and physical health.
I suggest Miss Martha find a tree hole to vent, so you won’t disturb others and can solve your troubles.”
“This…” Martha’s mouth twitched slightly, almost unable to maintain her elegant expression.
What kind of person is this, doing it on purpose?? Does he even know how to have a conversation??
“Um, these words, I only want to say to Mr. Mo Li.”
“Ah, this.” Mo Li put down the cake, pulled the curtain to wipe the cream from his mouth, and after a moment, calmly said.
“Miss Martha, it’s not that I’m being modest, but my place is small and shallow, really powerless.
I think you should seek someone more capable.”
