As a member of the Magic Pharmacist Association, Herag naturally couldn't refuse the invitation from the president of the association.

Nowadays, within the Magic Pharmacist Association, Herag had already gained some fame.

Although he was still just a Level 1 Alchemist, no one believed he was just a Level 1 Alchemist.

For Herag, the level of an alchemist wasn't that important now, so he didn't bother attending the Level 2 Alchemist exam.

Herag met Luochi in the hotel lobby, a chubby middle-aged man with a round face. Upon seeing Herag, he greeted warmly, "Hello, Mr. Herag, you truly are as young and promising as the rumors say."

"Hello, President Luochi," Herag responded politely with a handshake.

"Tonight we have a banquet in Shahai City. Are you interested in attending?" Luochi asked.

Herag laughed, "Of course, since President Luochi personally invited me, how could I refuse?"

"Hahaha, great, let's go," Luochi laughed heartily.

Luochi's carriage was much more modest compared to the Farrell Family's, with no luxury decorations, exuding practicality everywhere.

Herag chatted casually with Luochi on the carriage, sharing many topics of common interest and having a pleasant conversation.

Luochi himself was also from Serlandir, so they both considered each other as their own people, with no barriers between them.

The banquet was held at Mayer's private residence, a large place spacious enough to comfortably accommodate hundreds of people.

This was also where Mayer usually stayed, rarely visiting the Farrell Family's home.

After entering together, Herag saw Mayer conversing with a few people ahead.

Upon seeing Herag, Mayer immediately walked over happily, "Mr. Herag, thank you for coming to my banquet, please come in!"

Herag merely nodded slightly, without saying much.

Mayer was already accustomed to Herag's demeanor, and continued speaking enthusiastically beside him.

Others also noticed this scene and became curious about Herag, inquiring about him from various sources.

Naturally, the crowd included people with well-informed intelligence, who quickly discovered Herag's identity.

Upon learning Herag's identity and seeing how Mayer acted so familiar with him, everyone had their own thoughts.

This was precisely the effect Mayer wanted to achieve; he didn't need Herag to be enthusiastic about him, only to appear familiar with him.

If Herag couldn't be wooed, perhaps others could, Mayer thought.

Herag was fully aware of his intentions and said nothing further.

To Herag, Mayer's actions were pointless, as he understood that Mayer was nothing more than a pure playboy.

He usually had no reliable friends and it wasn't realistic to gather people to help him at a critical moment.

Even if someone was willing to help, they likely had other motives.

A playboy like Mayer would likely be taken advantage of in the end.

Despite the large number of people attending the banquet, it didn't reflect Mayer's high reputation.

For these nobles and upper-class people, a banquet was merely a social event.

They happened almost every day, the only difference being who hosted them.

Herag was already familiar with these proceedings; he chatted with some people from Shahai City and made a few acquaintances.

Mayer didn't disturb him much, likely knowing he wouldn't receive a warm reception and thus not bothering him unnecessarily, having achieved his goal already.

At midnight, just past zero, Herag prepared to leave.

At this time, such balls and banquets generally hadn't ended, with most attendees staying until close to dawn before completely dispersing.

However, many people chose to leave around this hour.

These people typically had little interest in the banquet but attended out of obligation.

Luochi accompanied Herag out, ready to see him off.

When Mayer heard about it, he quickly ran out and said, "Mr. Herag, are you preparing to leave?"

"Yes, I'm leaving. Thanks for the hospitality," Herag replied.

Mayer smiled obsequiously, glanced around, and whispered, "Mr. Herag, I have a gift prepared for you, guaranteeing your satisfaction."

"A gift?" Herag frowned.

This kid seemed quite unreliable, and the gift he prepared was probably equally unreliable.

"Mr. Herag, you'll know when you return," Mayer said mysteriously.

Herag warned, "Don't do anything unnecessary, don't cause me any trouble."

"Absolutely not, you'll be absolutely satisfied," Mayer smiled.

Herag didn't bother speaking further with him and turned to get on the carriage, leaving promptly.

"It seems Mr. Herag and Mayer aren't very acquainted," Luochi chuckled in the carriage.

"Of course, it's my first time meeting him today, and I don't want to get involved with the Farrell Family's mess," Herag said.

Luochi laughed, "Indeed, family matters can be quite complicated."

The two chatted casually, and soon arrived at the inn where Herag was staying.

"Thank you, President Luochi, for seeing me off. Be sure to let me know next time you come to Silver Moon City," Herag smiled.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely look for you and Baron for a drink when I come to Silver Moon City," Luochi said.

After watching the carriage leave, Herag returned to the inn.

The people from the Nightingale Commerce Association were already asleep; he attended the banquet alone.

As soon as Herag opened the door to the inn, he sensed something was off; there was someone extra on the bed.

His senses were very keen, and he could hear the breathing of the person on the bed.

Herag found it odd that there would be someone on the bed for no reason.

It definitely wasn't an attack, otherwise, the intruder wouldn't have completely exposed their presence and even left their breathing unrestrained.

Herag walked over, lifted the blanket, and found a seductive woman in a slit dress lying on the bed; it was Misu.

Misu, with her face flushed, was breathing heavily, still wearing the slit dress he saw her in earlier today, with her high heels still on, as if someone had tossed her directly onto the bed.

"Misu, wake up," Herag gently shook Misu.

Misu drowsily opened her eyes, her face a rosy hue as she cast him a sultry glance, her breath fragrant.

She gasped for air, her hand unconsciously moving over her body. Unknowingly, she had already pulled off her dress, revealing her purple lingerie underneath.

Herag's eyes widened at the sight; ever since Erza, he hadn't seen such a voluptuous and alluring figure in person for a long time.

He had only seen through the viewpoint of the Gods before, the perception wasn't as direct.

Now, being this close, he could practically feel Misu's warm breath on his face, the sensation was entirely different.
