chapter 34 Welcome party: Enemies meet on a narrow road

Nash Lin's words instantly drew everyone's attention towards Reese Dong. They then remembered that the auction of the "Moana Core" necklace was not only to decide its ownership but more importantly, it was about a bet! The necklace was bought by Nash Lin, which meant Reese Dong had to serve as Nash Lin's maid for half a month! Reese Dong's face turned deathly ghostly pale in an instant. Serving as a maid for half a month to someone she looked down upon was simply too much for her pride to accept. Her lips trembled as she addressed Nash Lin for the first time without her usual strong and superior aura, "Can... can we change the condition?" It was meant to be an unforgettable lesson for Reese Dong, so how could the condition be changed? "No way!" Nash Lin picked up his wine glass, took a sip of red wine, and refused outright. Hearing this, Reese Dong's hands clenched tightly together, her lips nearly bleeding from the pressure. Especially now that the entire auction hall's gaze was fixed on her face, she felt as if she were being judged by everyone, the pressure making her extremely uncomfortable. She opened her mouth and, in the end, still uttered the two words that made her feel ashamed. "Master... Master!" Nash Lin nodded in satisfaction. Just then, two young ladies carrying trays approached, ready to hand over the "Moana Core" necklace that Nash Lin had bid for. Nash Lin raised his hand and directly ordered Reese Dong. "Go get the item for me!" "I..." Reese Dong instinctively resisted, but as the words reached her lips, she didn't know how to retort. The two young ladies, very understanding, stopped in place, standing not far from Reese Dong's table, both looking at her. Her face instantly felt as if it was on fire. After struggling for a long time, she still went forward to pick up the "Moana Core" necklace from the tray, walking with graceful steps to Nash Lin, and said with embarrassment and shyness, "Master, here's your necklace." Seeing Reese Dong so cooperative, Nash Lin did not trouble her further at this moment, there would be plenty of time in the future. He tapped on the table. "Just leave it here, I have other matters tonight. From tomorrow, come see me dressed as a maid. I'll inform you of the place later, you can go now!" Hearing this, Reese Dong's face turned as red as a monkey's butt, her toes curling together. When had she, a daughter of a wealthy family, ever been a maid? And to wear a maid's outfit! Just the thought of it made her skin crawl with embarrassment. She placed the necklace on the table as Nash Lin had requested, her face flushed as she responded. "Okay, Master!" After speaking, she fled in complete disarray. She felt that every second she stayed on would be an agony, the embarrassment unbearable. Thaddeus Zheng and the others also shamefully fled the scene. None of them dared to look directly at Reese Dong, all with their heads bowed. It was too embarrassing. After everyone left, the auctioneer took the stage to announce the closing words, and the guests at the auction orderly exited. Once everyone had gone, Karmen Feng could no longer contain his excitement. He took three steps in two strides, coming right up to Nash Lin, grabbing his hand with utmost excitement. His expression was as if he had seen a deity. "Brother Nash, oh no, Grandpa Nash! From today onwards, you are my true Grandfather! Here, let me kowtow to you as a sign of respect!" With that, Karmen Feng attempted to kneel and bow. Nash Lin raised an eyebrow, "Are you on drugs?" "No, I just wanted to simply express my admiration for Brother Nash, it's brilliant! I'm thoroughly impressed!" Karmen Feng said seriously, giving Nash Lin a thumbs up. "Thank you, Brother Nash, for opening the doors to a new world for me. I never knew flirting could be like this. The Dong family's daughter, although the Dong family is also a first-class family in Jadeborough, was turned into a maid by just a few words from you, Brother Nash. This is really too cool, I'm completely convinced! Tomorrow, I'll follow in Brother Nash's lead, wear some clothes from the street stalls, and forget the car. Damn it, I'll start walking from now on!" Karmen Feng grumbled as he threw away his Rolex watch, worth hundreds of thousands. Nash Lin was speechless. He looked at Karmen Feng as if he were looking at a fool, wondering if the kid had some sort of mental problem. The reason he dressed so casually was simply that after spending fifteen years on the mountain, he was used to wearing clothes that were loose and easy to wash, not being able to get accustomed to those branded clothes that needed to be ironed and cared for every day. "You, who have been pampered since childhood, try to emulate me? Isn't that sick?" As for taking Reese Dong as a maid, that was purely because he was provoked by this self-righteous woman and wanted to teach her an unforgettable lesson. Flirting with girls? Flirt my foot! He hadn’t even sorted out the seven sisters at home yet! But now that he mentioned it, Reese Dong did seem pretty. Maybe he could settle for her for the time being... "Cough cough..." Nash Lin coughed twice to clear the messy thoughts from his head. He patted Karmen Feng on the shoulder and said with deep meaning, "There is a hospital five kilometres from here, you might want to take a stroll there when you have nothing to do." Karmen Feng's eyes lit up fiercely, "Is the quality of the beauties there high?" "..." Nash Lin sighed, slowly stood up. "You’re really beyond help!" He took the necklace, turned around, and left, heading directly to the location of his welcome banquet. Karmen Feng hurriedly followed to see him off. Watching Nash Lin's receding figure, Karmen Feng suddenly slapped his forehead. "I was so preoccupied with admiring Brother Nash that I forgot to ask him which department's girl is pretty. Is it the doctors or the nurses? Do I have to search the entire hospital?" ... After leaving Ethereal Villa, Nash Lin followed the location given by Fotis Hea over the phone yesterday and took a car to the venue of the welcome party - The Emgrand Restaurant. At this moment, many luxury cars were already parked outside the Emgrand Restaurant. If the attendees at the auction held by the Wang family at Ethereal Villa were mainly the younger generation of various families in Jadeborough, then here, those who came were the elders of the major families, even patriarch-level figures. It was all because of Nash Lin's status as the Master of Mysteria Pavilion, a position none of them could afford to overlook. Although Nash Lin himself felt there was no need for such a fuss, the Master was the Master, a presence they had to look up to. Everyone who came to the welcome party tonight were from the top families of Jadeborough. Ethan Wang's family was also included. Ethan's father, Pollux Wang, the Wang family head, Rigel Wang, the third brother, Pleios Wang, and two younger members, Sidus Wang and Natalie Wang, were all present. Looking at the splendid Emgrand Restaurant, Sidus Wang exclaimed. "I really don’t know what kind of person the Master of Mysteria Pavilion is!" Natalie Wang also looked on with admiration and longing in her eyes. "I think he must be an astonishing and extraordinary person, dressed in a black suit, standing atop a skyscraper, looking down on the world with a cold gaze, his face handsome and resolute, so striking that even the heavens and earth respect!" Pleios Wang smiled and patted Natalie Wang's head. "Then you must perform well in front of the Master tonight, maybe you will be the one to make our Wang family rise to fame!" Natalie Wang's cheeks turned crimson. And Pollux Wang sighed. " What a pity, Ethan won't be able to meet such a remarkable person tonight." The big brother, Rigel Wang, patted Pollux Wang on the shoulder, consoling, "Ethan's incident was an accident, don't be too sad. After the old man meets with him tonight, tomorrow will be Nash Lin's end. We will cut off his head to appease Ethan's spirit in heaven!" Pollux Wang nodded. "Let’s go in!" The Wang family headed straight for the entrance of The Emgrand Restaurant. But just as they took a few steps, a figure that Pollux Wang loathed appeared right in front of them. Pollux Wang’s face suddenly darkened, and he gritted his teeth in anger. "Nash Lin!"
