288 Chapter 288

At this moment, Locke was slightly stunned.

In the distance, Irene and Walter were also on this street and were walking in his direction.

Obviously, Irene and Walter had noticed Locke and Artemis. They were immediately attracted by Artemis beside Locke.

Artemis stood there like a goddess walking out of a painting, the surrounding lights were dim.

How beautiful!

Walter, in particular, was completely immersed in the beauty of Artemis at this time. As the prince of the Catacoton Kingdom, he had seen countless beautiful women, but none of them could make him lose his countenance like this.

After the surprise, a strong sense of jealousy surged out of his chest. Why? Why were there always such beautiful women around Locke Capet? It used to be like this, and now he had become a loser and still had a beautiful woman around him!

A different light flashed in Irene’s eyes. She didn’t think her appearance was inferior to anyone else, but when she saw the woman in front of her, she felt a sense of inferiority. There was also a strange feeling in her heart. How could Locke know such a beautiful woman?!

“We met again.”

Irene greeted Locke.

Locke nodded slightly.

In the face of the indifferent Locke, Irene could not help feeling a little sad. No, Irene, you didn’t do anything wrong! She quickly adjusted herself and said, “Locke, I’m sorry for the rumors about you. I’ve already clarified it in the academy newspaper. I hope it won’t cause you much trouble.”

Locke nodded again.

Seeing that Locke didn’t want to talk to her, Irene didn’t say anything more.

In just two days, the relationship between them had dropped from intimacy to freezing point. This time they met, the two of them were both calm, no, or even somewhat indifferent.

Irene didn’t want to say anything more, but it didn’t mean that Walter could accept Locke.

“Mr. Capet, I’ve heard that you are an ordinary person now. This is the capital city of the Catacoton Kingdom, one of the most prosperous places in the world. It is not very friendly to ordinary people. Mr. Capet, if you are willing, you come to my house. I still need a person to clean my yard. I think Mr. Capet is very suitable.”

Walter said with a chuckle, with a hint of irony in his tone.

However, he was very disappointed that he didn’t see any anger on Locke’s face.

On the contrary, Locke looked at him with a sneer, a hint of pity and mockery in his eyes. Then he uttered one word, “Idiot.”

The smile on Walter’s face completely froze, and then his face turned ashen.

Locke looked calm. He looked at Irene for a few seconds and continued, “Sure enough, you two are a perfect match.”

Irene’s face darkened. “Locke, don’t go too far.”

Staring at Locke, Walter’s face turned completely cold. He said in a gloomy tone, “Boy, don’t give your face shameless. This is the imperial capital, not your countryside. If you provoke someone you shouldn’t provoke, you may not even know how you will die.”

At the end of his words, there was clear killing intent in his tone.

“Your friends?” Artemis cast a glance at Irene and Walter.

Locke shook his head. “Not really.”

“In that case,” said Artemis, walking to the side of Locke and holding Locke’s arm. She glanced at Irene and the gloomy Walter, “Since you come out with me, don’t waste our time on someone jabberers.”

Being held by Artemis, Locke’s body stiffened a little, but he soon recovered. He held her in his arms and said, “Let’s go to have dinner.”

Artemis nodded and then looked at Walter and Irene, “I’m in a good mood today, and I don’t want to kill anyone, so I’ll let you go. But you won’t be so lucky next time.”

Locke and Artemis turned around and left, leaving only the livid-faced Walter and Irene who had a long face.

He was threatened by a woman!

Looking at the backs of Locke and Artemis, the killing intent in Walter’s eyes became more intense.

A few minutes later.

“Little Locke, you have taken advantage of me for such a long time, shouldn’t you let go of me?” Staring straight at Locke, Artemis licked her lips and said in a seductive tone, “Of course, even if you really want to do something to me, I may not resist.”

Locke felt hot in his body when he saw the tempting eyes of Artemis. He coughed and then let go of her. However, he had to admit that the soft touch from his fingers was unforgettable. As for the latter sentence that Artemis said, Locke just smiled in his heart. He was sure that if he really dared to do something out of line, he would definitely come to no good end.

Half an hour later, the two of them arrived at a hotel.

The whole hotel was more than 500 meters high and covered a vast area. It was mainly marble colored. There were exquisite patterns carved around the hotel, and the top was in the style of Gothic architecture, with several exquisite and small spires.

“Are you sure you want to come to this hotel?”

Looking at the magnificent hall in the distance, Locke couldn’t help but shrink back. He didn’t have much money with him. Wouldn’t it be a little extravagant to have dinner here?

“What? Are you afraid that I can’t afford the money?”

With a snort, Artemis strode into the hotel.

Wait, the Dominic Hotel… Is this the domain of the Dominic Temple?

Looking at the brief introduction at the door, Locke was stunned for a moment. “Isn’t it said that you had a conflict with the three masters of the temple?”

Artemis nodded, “And then?”

“Then…” Locke was speechless for a while and suddenly had a strange feeling. Under normal circumstances, shouldn’t they be enemies with the Dominic Temple now? Why did Artemis suddenly become a distinguished guest of the Dominic Temple?

While numerous question marks appeared in Locke’s mind, Artemis had already walked toward the hall.

Locke felt a little helpless. When he was about to walk to the hall, he frowned slightly.

“Dominic is the best hotel in the imperial capital. The people who come and go to this hotel are basically some upper-class, celebrities or famous masters on the continent. Ordinary people are not qualified to enter this hotel at all.” Holding Irene in his arms, Walter said confidently.

Irene looked around curiously.

While Walter was talking, he found that Irene suddenly stopped. He was slightly stunned and followed Irene’s gaze. Then he was also stunned.

Locke and that beautiful girl also came here!

Walter only felt embarrassed, and his face was burning. A moment ago, he just said that this place was so high-end that not everyone could come in. The next second, someone he looked down upon appeared in front of him.

He cleared his throat and said, “Irene, I’m the VIP here. I can book a private room, and we don’t have to eat in the hall like someone else.”

At the same time, his body shook violently and his eyes were fixed on the old man who was walking downstairs quickly in the distance.

“What’s wrong?” Irene asked as she sensed something was wrong with him.

“That person is Mr. Phelix, the current leader of the Dominic Temple, a level-9 mage. He is one of the most powerful masters in the world. Even my father will be modest to him.”

Looking at Phelix who came down in a hurry in the distance, Walter introduced in an excited tone. As he spoke, he couldn’t help but feel a little confused. As the leader of the Dominic Temple, Mr. Phelix had a noble status and seldom appeared here. It seemed that he came out to pick up someone.
