Chapter 377 -377-A Nice Guy Card for You
Donald froze slightly.
This was the first time he had ever been handed a "nice guy card," and he was not quite used to it.
"Well, Miss Kate, my friend, there is actually a small favor I would like to ask of you..."
Kate was not surprised by Donald’s words in the slightest, because she had understood one principle long ago:
There was no such thing as a free lunch in this world.
However...
Now that all the benefits were already in her hands, there was absolutely no way Kate would return them.
As for what kind of help Donald wanted from her, that would depend entirely on her mood.
Seeing that Kate had not played along and prompted him to continue, Donald gritted his teeth and took the initiative to speak.
"Miss Kate, would you be willing to give me a special training session? I hope to further improve my strength so that, even if I lose the [Dark Titan] inheritance in the future, I can still continue becoming stronger through my own class."
"I believe... you would be willing to help your friend, would you not?"
Kate frowned slightly.
She had not expected Donald to make such a request.
However, looking at it from another angle, his request was actually fairly reasonable.
As for sparring with Donald, that was not a big deal to Kate at all. She would not even need to use one-tenth of her strength to defeat him with ease.
"Sure. Do you want to do it now?"
The moment Kate finished speaking, she directly assumed a fighting stance, startling Donald.
He immediately waved his hands repeatedly while secretly shooting a glance at one of the friends beside him.
"No, no, no, Miss Kate. Now is not an appropriate time for us to spar. After all, the meeting is still ongoing inside..."
As he spoke, Donald deliberately glanced at the watch on his wrist in front of Kate.
The watch he wore was a limited-edition Rolex, worth an astonishing five million gold coins. It was absolutely one of the most luxurious accessories in existence!
However, Kate’s reaction dealt Donald a devastating blow.
She did not even spare his Rolex a second glance.
Impossible!
Once this gleaming golden watch was revealed, there had never been a girl who could bring herself to ignore it!
Wait...
Perhaps his approach had been wrong from the very beginning.
After all, Kate was a Mirror Image. It was only understandable that she might not comprehend the value of luxury goods.
At this thought, Donald gave a dry cough and deliberately shook his wrist slightly.
"Miss Kate, what do you think of this watch?"
Kate could not even be bothered to lift her eyelids as she casually replied,
"I don’t like Rolex. All it does is use vulgar gold. Compared to something like that, I much prefer rare gold and black-green stone produced in special Instance secret realms."
Donald: "???"
He had only wanted to show off a little, yet he had never expected Kate to actually recognize Rolex.
To avoid embarrassing himself any further, Donald decisively changed the subject.
"I did not expect Miss Kate to possess such wide-ranging knowledge. However, returning to the matter at hand, it seems the time has arrived for the representatives of each race to begin their separate discussions. Miss Kate, would you like to know what the humans are discussing?"
Kate froze for a moment. Then, she immediately asked with a wary expression,
"Donald, are you elves spying on the myriad races?"
"If that is the case, I will immediately tell my brother about such immoral behavior!"
Donald felt utterly numb.
He had never imagined that Kate would be so cautious. It seemed that he would have to be even more careful with his next move.
Thinking this, he hurriedly waved his hands with all his strength.
"No, no, no, Kate! You have completely misunderstood!"
"The discussions held during this conference are permitted to be publicly viewed, and video records are kept of everything. Therefore, there is no need for you to worry about surveillance. In fact, any attendee from any race is allowed to review these recordings."
Kate’s suspicious gaze remained fixed on Donald for a moment.
"Are you telling the truth?"
Donald immediately nodded. Then, he turned to one of his friends standing beside him.
"Jack, find me an office. It must be the very best. Understood?"
As expected of a major local business magnate, Jack completed the task with remarkable efficiency.
In less than twenty seconds, a suitable luxury conference room had already been prepared.
Kate looked around the meeting room before nodding in satisfaction.
Rather than a meeting room, this place was more like a presidential suite. All kinds of fine food and delicate desserts had even been prepared inside.
The enormous screens covering the walls were currently displaying footage from every meeting room.
Apart from the human race’s discussion, even the private discussion among the elves themselves appeared on the screens.
Kate froze slightly, her gaze instinctively drawn to the content being displayed.
Donald, naturally, noticed the change in Kate’s expression as well.
The corners of his mouth curved upward slightly, revealing a faint smile of a scheme succeeding.
On the surface, however, he generously bid Kate farewell.
"Kate, my friend, I still have a few matters to attend to. I will come back and find you later. You can watch by yourself for now. That will not be a problem, will it?"
At this moment, Kate’s attention had already been completely drawn to the contents of the screens.
That was because she had clearly heard Caelan, Caesar, and the others discussing something related to her.
Kate immediately pricked up her ears. She did not even have time to respond to Donald, who was already walking away in the distance.
Donald, for his part, tactfully shut the suite door behind him with a loud bang.
Meanwhile, in the private lounge reserved for the human race, everyone present could essentially be said to represent the collective will of humanity’s upper echelons.
"Let us discuss this matter. What does everyone think regarding Kate? I still hope that we can find a solution that satisfies both sides."
"But the problem is that everyone already understands the current situation. Even the [Wax Effigy Core] was unable to provide any particularly effective solution. Therefore, I believe Kate has no other choice except to return to her original body."
"I disagree with your opinion. Caelan is currently searching for a solution. I believe we should give him a little more time."
"Stop daydreaming. If there really were a solution, would the [Wax Effigy Core] not know about it? Enough. All of you should stop clinging to false hopes. Kate’s problem cannot be solved. That is reality! What I believe we should be discussing next is how to make Kate willingly return to her original body!"
Caesar and Orlando clearly still wished to say a few more words, but no one, including Merlinster, gave them any opportunity to continue speaking.
Instead, another high-ranking human representative took the initiative to push the discussion forward.
"I do have an idea. Let us see whether everyone believes it would work. The person who tied the knot should be the one to untie it. I believe that Caelan should personally be the one to persuade her."
"Think about it. None of us knows when the final disaster may descend upon all of our heads. Although Caelan is already extremely powerful, he is still only a 5-Star Awakener, after all."
"At 5-Star, he simply cannot play much of a role, can he?"
