Chapter 227 Sorry, I'm not interested

'If I could guess, I wouldn't have to ask you.' Lathel sighed.

Suddenly, he saw a gem store, and an interesting idea appeared in his heart.

"Let's enter this place."

Hearing Lathel's words, Laura looked ahead and saw that there was a gem store: "Hm... I don't have any need for jewellery, you..."

"Let's just go in and take a look." Lathel said smiling and pointed towards the gem store in the distance.

Seeing Lathel so excited, Laura suddenly smiled gently: "Uhm! I'll take a look."

As they entered the gem shop, a voice rang out: "Duke Lathel, it's an honour to meet you here, hahahaha..."

"Manager Kiin." Lathel saw a chubby middle-aged man constantly wiping his sweat with a towel and was surprised: "Why are you here?"

"Hahahaha... As I said before, most of the gem shops are managed by me." Kiin smiled and said, suddenly, he was startled when he saw the woman walking next to Lathel: "Captain Laura?!"

Laura smiled; she just nodded slightly, not saying anything more. Manager Kiin saw this and gave Lathel a thumbs up: "Duke Lathel, you... and captain Laura..."

Laura immediately hugged Lathel's arm, buried it between two large and soft mountains, and smiled gently: "He and I are dating."

"Woah!!!" Manager Kiin was so surprised that he opened his mouth and his eyes widened: "Duke Lathel, you... are so wonderful." From today, you are my God."

Lathel: "..."

"Okay, Manager Kiin, stop joking." Lathel shook her head and sighed: "I just want to visit a little."

"Hahaha... Duke Lathel, there isn't anything good here; you should follow me, there are much more valuable things on display inside." Manager Kiin quickly said: "Besides... there are things inside that I guarantee Captain Laura will definitely like."

"Actually, she and I just wanted to visit a little...."

"Lathel, let's go inside." Laura suddenly spoke up, interrupting Lathel's explanation.

He looked at Laura in confusion. Previously, she had said that she didn't like jewellery. So why would she change now?

However, he didn't ask much, so Laura hugged his arm and pulled him along with manager Kiin.

Entering the room inside, there weren't too many people here, but the people inside this room were all dressed extremely luxuriously, showing that they were all people of high status.

When they saw Lathel, they didn't pay too much attention, but when they saw Laura, they were immediately surprised and stared at him.

"Strange, who is that young man?"

"Looking at the badge on his chest, it seems like he is a Duke in this country."

"Since when has a Duke appeared in the Empire?"

"Maybe he is a magician adopted by another Duke."

"But... Why is Captain Laura holding his arm?"

"Could he be her boyfriend?"

"Don't say bad words. Captain Laura has never loved anyone before, and she won't love anyone in the future either."

"Why do you say so?"

"Don't you know anything? There was once a prince from a large kingdom who proposed to her, but she refused."

It was an old motif; even if he closed his eyes, he could guess what would happen next.

Lathel immediately refused: "Sorry, I'm not interested in this."

Manager Kiin heard that and continued: "It's okay, Duke Lathel, it's normal if you don't know how to sculpt. I know a friend, he is a sculptor..."

"Sorry, Manager Kiin, I don't care about that stone anymore." Lathel immediately interrupted Manager Kiin's words.

Manager Kiin forced a smile: "Hahahaha... it's okay, I understand. So... Duke Lathel can visit as he pleases, and if he feels like anything, he can tell me. Of course, your Super Super Super Vip form is still in effect."

"Thank you, Manager Kiin." After Lathel finished speaking, manager Kiin immediately left.

"Why didn't you try your luck with that stone?" Laura asked curiously.

"Me? I'm not interested in it. Besides... the person who delivered the stone is still a mystery, I'm afraid there is some kind of trap inside."

"Oh! You are really suspicious..."

Lathel shook his head: "No, I just don't want to get into any more trouble."

"You talk as if I'm a problem too, right?"

"Ack! That's not what I meant."

"So... what do you mean?"

"I never thought you were trouble."

When Laura heard this, she glanced at Lathel, her eyes looking straight into his. After a while, she let go of his hand, nodded, and said: "You lied."

Lathel: "..."

'So can you see that I'm lying? Strange, am I showing it that clearly?'

Lathel thought to himself; he didn't believe that Laura could read his thoughts.

'Maybe she's just sulking.'

He sighed and said, "Sorry, but I really don't think you're a problem."

"So... what do you think of me?" Laura tilted her head and asked, her eyes made him feel like two swords were about to pierce his heart.

"Hm... a girl with a strong personality, straightforward, loves justice... and... a bit violent."

"Ah! It seems you don't like women like me." Laura nodded and said: "That's right, after all, guys like gentle and weak women who always shake their butts left and right on the street."

Lathel: "..."

Laura smiled disdainfully: "Those girls are really weak, they can only rely on men to survive and become toys for entertainment."

"Most of them can survive on their own, and they can even do better than men and be more talented than men."

"But in the end, their mindset limits them to a cage, and very few people can escape that cage."

Hearing that, Lathel frowned. He shook his head and said: "I only partially agree with you."

"Hm?! Do you also consider women objects?" Laura glanced at Lathel, and her terrifying murderous intent burst out.

The people around them shivered and quickly left the room. Lathel also felt the terrible, murderous aura surrounding his body, and he was frightened.

He tried to calm down and said: "You misunderstood me, I have never looked down on women."
