Mystic Overlord: Reading Gives Strength Chapter 1180 - 1174: Going Home

In contrast to the clear demarcations of the district housing [Tang Chom], [Chorona]’s situation is far more chaotic.

Due to the pervasive culture of valuing spellcasting abilities.

Here, people generally don’t care if you are a native; they only consider whether you belong to the casters.

And as a shop-owning ’individual’.

Even only considering safety issues, Eloise did not conceal her identity as a caster. With her displayed strength, she managed to secure a sizeable apartnt near the city center.

The ground floor and second floor are used for business activities.

Only the third floor is her daily living quarters.

Led by Eloise, Ronald and Patricia awaited on the second floor of her living area while she entered the lounge alone, saying she needed to ’change her outfit’.

During the wait, Ronald noticed sothing unique.

Though Eloise had changed her identity more than once, most of the staff in her shops within [Chorona] were [Grade] people. This could be seen from their habits and appearance.

Ronald was sowhat curious.

Were these employees from [Grade] companions who fled with Eloise; or were they specially recruited by her after her life stabilized in [Chorona]?

"Sir, are you well acquainted with the boss?"

At this mont, a young attendant ca up and asked.

Since returning here by carriage, the young man was curious about the relationship between the boss and the person in front of him. Now, seeing the boss heading off to change clothes, he couldn’t hold back his curiosity and began asking Ronald:

"I’ve heard rumors that the boss was once a prominent figure in a northern country, and chose to seek refuge here in [Rooney Kingdom] due to certain conflicts. Is that true?"

This wasn’t the first ti the attendant had asked such questions.

Whenever the boss returned to the shop with others, he would pose similar inquiries, but discovered that none truly knew the boss’s origins.

Eloise was even aware of his curiosity.

But she never provided an answer to such questions.

After seeing the boss and Ronald embracing in the street today, the attendant imdiately sensed their uncommon relationship.

He had a hunch.

Today’s guest might finally resolve his months-long curiosity.

Yet, to the attendant’s disappointnt, Ronald didn’t give him any answers, just gave a mysterious smile:

"That question, you’d better ask her yourself."

"I won’t overstep my place in her business affairs."

"Her?" The young attendant, upon hearing Ronald’s reply, thought Ronald had used the wrong term and was about to correct him, "Well—sir, haven’t you made a grammatical mistake? Our boss is actually a man..."

Smack—

Before the young attendant could finish speaking, the door opened.

An obviously beautifully dressed young woman erged.

"..."

The young attendant, ready to explain grammatical errors to Ronald, was left in bewildernt, even forgetting to close his gaping mouth.

For soone who grew up in [Chorona].

Even the most beautiful slave belonging to the King was less appealing in figure and beauty. Had he ever seen such a beauty, he would never forget her for a lifeti.

And yet, such a person suddenly appeared in their shop.

Moreover, she erged from the living area!

Am I dreaming?

Or did soone in the shop find such a pretty girl in town?

Or was she attracted by the manager’s caster status and ca here to do sothing?

The young man’s mind filled with all sorts of fantasies.

As he watched.

Eloise, who had returned to her original form, approached and took a seat on Ronald’s leg, then glanced faintly at Patricia before speaking in a playful tone:

"Ronald, I said I’d change my look, can’t you remove your disguise too?"

Ronald nodded, then dispelled the disguise ford by [Sin of Greed].

After all, Eloise was right in front of him.

He didn’t need to hide his identity deliberately for safety concerns.

"..."

anwhile, Patricia wasn’t about to be overshadowed.

Seeing Ronald and Eloise unveil their disguises, she resolutely returned her hair to its platinum blonde shining appearance, further enhancing the ’beauty’ level of the room.

Except for the young attendant who had just been asking questions, now completely dumbfounded.

All he could think was that the man and woman before him were both casters; outside that, his barely remaining reasoning focused solely on Eloise’s visage, unable to process other thoughts.

Just then, observing her attendant’s slack-jawed stare, Eloise’s eyes flashed a discontent:

"Hey, Lee, what did I teach you before?"

"Whenever guests arrive, you must first prepare the tea, never forget the etiquette!"

"Huh?" The fresh-faced attendant seed dazed, unable to respond.

"Haha—" Seeing her attendant’s reaction, Eloise couldn’t help but laugh, then with a rough masculine voice quipped:

"What, don’t you recognize your own boss!"

"..."

"Ha! Hmm? Ah! Huh?"

The young attendant asked by Eloise underwent a variety of facial expressions.

Shock—Confusion—Disbelief—Sudden Realization—

These expressions appeared one after another, effectively cramming his face.

Finally, he cautiously asked:

"You’re... the boss?"

Eloise couldn’t resist teasing:

"You just received your weekly pay from yesterday, today you’re pretending not to know ?"

"Ah...Ah!" The young attendant froze for a few seconds before realizing and hurried to another room, "Yes, boss, I’ll be right back!"

Watching her attendant leave.

Eloise then turned back to Ronald, saying playfully:

"Compared to you seeing through my identity right away, this guy is much more fun!"

Ronald smiled innocently:

"In that case...do I need to apologize?"

"No need, you never need to apologize to ." Eloise replied to Ronald as she adjusted her seated position on Ronald’s leg, then wrapped her arms around him, laying her face beside his neck, speaking in an affectionate tone, "Ronald, I’ve missed you."

Ronald replied without hesitation: " too."

At these words, Eloise’s eyes glead with thought.

Then she glanced at Patricia, suddenly activating a spell, and declared in undeniable words:

"Alright, tonight we’re sleeping together!"
