In the next few days, Fredrinn decided to get some rest. Although his body was now stronger than the average human, he still needed sufficient sleep and nutrition. This was very different from his previous misconceptions about the cultivators. Just like normal humans, they also need to sleep, eat, and drink to survive. It is only when cultivators break through the Core Formation stage that they no longer need these mortal nourishments. That is because, at that level, cultivators could already make use of their Qi to supplement their bodies' needs.
After three days of rest, Fredrinn headed out of the estate with Olivia.
"My lord, where do you want to go?" Asked the carriage driver. He was a middle-aged man wearing the servant's clothes of the Firecrown Household.
Seeing this man, Fredrinn was shocked, but he quickly concealed his astonishment. 'This man… Isn't he the Iron Wall of Red Sun City? To think that he is actually working as a mere carriage driver… Wait… Is this part of Roland's arrangements to protect his useless son? That has got to be it…'
The Iron Wall of Red Sun City, Darius Rockfall, would become a prominent figure in the future.
Three years after 'Seeking the Immortal Path' was introduced to the world, a big event happened in Star Wind Kingdom. The kingdom was continuously attacked by countless malicious beasts and Red Sun City was one of the few cities that experienced the most violent attacks. The warriors and the players of Red Sun City joined hands to protect their domain. During that brutal event, a few powerful warriors emerged and led everyone to defeat the malicious beasts. Darius was one of these people.
There was also one more major incident that happened at that time.
It was the death of Roland Firecrown.
He was the central figure of Red Sun City, but he fell after being ambushed by the masterminds of that battle.
Fredrinn's face fell upon recalling this memory.
"My lord? Are you alright?" Darius asked in concern when he saw Fredrinn's grim face.
Fredrinn shook his head. "I'm fine. Let's head to the Cloud Lake Pavilion."
Hearing this, Darius nodded his head. "As you wish, my lord. Please sit tight."
Cloud Lake Pavilion…
It was the most famous restaurant in Red Sun City. Aside from their delicious food, they also offer other kinds of entertainment for their guests. This made the establishment a sought-after place for the rich.
"You look pale, my lord. Do you want me to buy some medicine for you?" Olivia asked with concern.
Fredrinn shook his head. "There's no need for that. I will be fine after some drinks in the Cloud Lake Pavilion."
Olivia no longer said anything after hearing his words.
'I almost forgot about that event. I should take note of the big events that happened in the game once I return. They will be important for my growth.' Thinking about this, his face suddenly turned serious.
"My lord, we are here."
Darius' voice interrupted his thoughts.
Fredrinn stepped out of the carriage and looked at the establishment in front of him. It was a six-story building boasting a symmetrical structure with depictions of mythical creatures artistically carved into the walls. "It still looks the same as it was in the game…" He muttered to himself.
"My lord, I will follow you once I have parked the carriage."
Fredrinn nodded at Darius. He then entered the restaurant with Olivia.
"My lord, it's the first time you brought me here." While saying this, Olivia revealed a sweet smile.
"Is that so? Then I will bring you here more often." His predecessor never truly cared about Olivia. Although he never once abused her, that was only because he was waiting for the right time to take her everything.
'Fredrinn, you are truly a beast of a human... How could you have such insane thoughts toward this innocent young lady?' He was inwardly disgusted by his predecessor.
"You don't have to waste your money on me, my lord." Olivia shook her head.
Her innocent smile hurt him even more.
"It won't be a waste if it's for you. I already consider you as my family, Olivia. Don't say such things again, do you understand?" Fredrinn put on a stern look.
"Me? Your family?" Olivia was stunned when she heard this.
"Of course! You took care of me and never once left my side." Fredrinn gently rubbed her head.
Olivia was ridiculed and faced harsh criticism because she worked for a trash master. However, she never betrayed Fredrinn. She remained loyal and faithful to him.
Hearing his sincere voice, Olivia almost burst into tears. Her efforts were finally recognized and it felt great. "That is what I have to do as your servant, my lord." She lowered her head.
Fredrinn smiled at her words.
At this moment, a man with a white apron appeared in front of them.
"Isn't this Lord Fredrinn Firecrown? Welcome to our humble restaurant, my lord! Is there anything I can do for you?" The man humbly bowed to him.
Fredrinn was a regular so all the restaurant's staff was familiar with him.
Fredrinn didn't know this man's name, but from his predecessor's memories, it seemed like it wasn't their first encounter.
"I want a private room near the window. It would be better if I could see the view of the busy market outside." He didn't want to attract attention so he decided to ask for this.
"I know a private spot that fits your description. Please follow me." The man smiled professionally, but he was inwardly screaming. The last time Fredrinn came here more than a year ago, he caused quite the scene after he flirted with one of their waitresses. The girl resisted and it angered Fredrinn so much that he destroyed the chairs and tables. The girl also received a tight slap to the face and was forced to resign.
'Sh*t! Why did I have to meet this guy?! Why did he come here?! I'm f*cked!' The man was so nervous that he almost collapsed.
As a martial arts practitioner at the Qi Gathering stage, Fredrinn quickly noticed his strange behavior. He furrowed his eyebrows as he tried to remember his past interactions with this man. It was then that he recalled the waitress who was kicked out of the restaurant because of the previous Fredrinn's actions.
Thinking about this, Fredrinn sighed and shook his head. 'I feel ashamed of you, Fredrinn Firecrown.' He thought.
Not long later, they arrived at the private room. There was a big stage meant to entertain the guests and the guest space could accommodate more than twenty people. From this, he could tell that this was one of the famous Diamond Rooms that was only available to the VIPs.
"Not bad. What's your name?" He commented while nodding his head in satisfaction.
"U-Uh… Y-You can just call me Ryan, my lord." The man said with his head lowered.
"Ryan is it? I'll remember you."
Ryan's face fell when he heard this. 'Please don't! Please don't remember me!' He screamed in his mind, but he put on a happy face as if he were honored to be acknowledged by Fredrinn.
"Alright. Bring us your best dishes. Also, I'd like to hear some songs from your best performers." Fredrinn wanted to ask him about the waitress, but it wasn't the right time yet.
"Yes, my lord! I'll have them prepared as soon as possible!"
