Inside the Champion Restaurant, Zack was hanging out with a couple of friends. The imperial examination was going to be held two days from now. He had to take the imperial examination, and George of the Kong Clan was also in the list of examinees as well.

Actually, the imperial examination should have already begun long ago, but due to Kevin's rebellion, it had to be moved to a later date. Because of that, George had to stay in the imperial capital longer than he thought.

"The imperial examination is about to be held in two days. Are you feeling confident, Zack?" George asked with a playful smile on his face.

Hearing this, Zack modestly replied, "Since you are also going to take the exam, I'm honestly feeling quite nervous. I'm not confident that I can win against you."

"Both of you are so smart, yet you're still worried about the exam. Does that mean I'm destined to lose?" Carlson felt so hopeless at this point. Truth be told, his father had him kicked out of the imperial capital and he didn't come back until recently. Never would he have expected that his father would go ah

d face, Caroline listened attentively to all the things George was saying, and they took turns asking each other a question.

"Shawn, how is Wendy doing?" Harper asked upon noticing that Shawn was drinking by himself.

"She's doing fine. It's just that her frequent illness is annoying her," Shawn answered in a low voice and awkwardly looked away, finding it near impossible to look Harper straight in the eye.

"That's good to hear,"

Harper remarked. Then, she glanced at Carlson and told him, "Carlson, you also have to work hard. Prince Allen thinks so highly of you."

When he heard this, Carlson couldn't help but sigh, and he said, "Forget it. I haven't really been reading much ever since I was a child. My father forced me to take the imperial examination without a warning. Isn't he worried at all that he will just end up even more humiliated if I go and fail the exam? Ever since I got back, my brother and father have been giving me such a hard time. To tell you the truth, if it weren't for Lucas picking me up today, I wouldn't have been able to leave the mansion at all."
