The next morning.

It's already past nine and the golden sun majestically hung in the sky, igniting the world anew with its brilliance.

At this moment, within the lavish dining room of the Verid Imperial's family guest house, Ling Chen was seated in front of a large and sumptuous table filled with all kinda delicious foods, fruits, and wine.

Not too far from him were more than ten beautiful maids waiting on him. Meanwhile, the rich aroma of the fresh and delicious foods on the table filled the entire room.

'The 8th Ring of the Chaos Universe is really something. Even their foods and wine are far better than the 9th Ring of the Chaos Universe's.' Inwardly thought Ling Chen as he was wolfing down the foods in front of him.

It was unknown how the wine was brewed, because not only was the taste excellent, it also made his entire body warm-up, and he could even feel his blood energy strengthen.

Not only that, but it was also very strong. It was the best wine that he has ever tasted in his life. And the food placed in front of him was all sorts of treasured materials. Eating them was beneficial for one cultivation and life force.

Even though Ling Chen came from a prominent and powerful family back in the Great Luo World, he didn't have an ounce of table manners. He simply didn't care too much about things such as etiquette.

As such, he was gulping food down by the mouthfuls. Whatever dish looked the most exquisite or the most delicious would be eaten.

As for the wine.. it was as though he was afraid of choking on eating too much. He drank as he ate, using the wine to wash the food down. This was truly.. the perfect display of a bumpkin's characteristics.

Even the maids were shocked and amused by his actions. He was like the reincarnation of a starving ghost.

Nonetheless, none of them dared to laugh or show any sign of disrespect. They did their best to hide their emotions. After all, no matter how bad his table manner was, he was still an esteemed guest of the Verid Imperial Family.

"That really hit the spot." Blurted out Ling Chen after having his fill while caressing his belly.

Ever since he left the Great Luo World, it was his first time having such a hot and delicious meal. Though they were many women in his group, none of them knew how to cook.

Right after Ling Chen was done eating, the door of the dining room slowly pushed open as a young man walked in.

Seeing the young man, all the maids became extremely nervous as they bowed and simultaneously said." We pay our respect to the 7th Imperial Prince his highness."

The 7th Imperial Prince looked like he was in his twenties. With bright eyes and sharp eyebrows, he exuded an extraordinary presence.

Aside from that, he was extremely handsome. His golden hair spilled over his shoulders, and he wore.. a striking and well-embellished set of noble clothes.

After gently nodded to the maids, the 7th Imperial Prince walked straight towards Ling Chen's seat.

"Good morning Mr.Chen. I hope you had a pleasant night. My name is Theodore Van Gaal Verid, the 7th Prince of the Verid Empire. I am responsible for escorting you to meet his majesty the Emperor." Respectfully said the 7th Prince with an amiable smile on his face.

Looking at the attitude of the 7th imperial Prince, Ling Chen couldn't help but be surprised. For an imperial prince, Ling Chen didn't feel any air of arrogance from him. He looked quite amiable.

"Good, show me the way." Ling Chen answered with an enigmatic smile on his face as he rose to his feet.

'It's showtime.' He inwardly thought.

Just like that, Ling Chen followed the 7th Imperial Prince out of the mansion and was heading toward the Imperial Palace to meet with the Emperor of the Verid Empire.

On the way, none of them said a word to each other. However, from time to time, the 7th Imperial Prince would take a glance at Ling Chen as if trying to figure him out.

Aside from Ling Chen's handsome look and his magical eyes, the 7th Imperial Prince couldn't find anything impressive about him. He couldn't even sense an ounce of aura from his body. He looked quite bland like a regular mortal.

Nonetheless, he didn't dare to be disrespectful or looking down upon him. Even before coming here, his father had urged him to be respectful and treated the guest as though he was the Guardian of the Verid Empire himself.

After walking for a while, Ling Chen was finally made it to the Imperial Palace's throne room along with the 7th Imperial Prince.

It was a vast and magnificent room that was filled with a sacred and noble aura. On the left side were rows of black-armored warriors and on the right side were rows of officials in luxurious clothes. A shocking presence was being emanated from each of their bodies.

At the very end of the room was a middle-aged man sitting on a majestic chair that was carved of fine oak, crested with several jewels and decorative metals forming an elegant coat of arms.

This middle-aged man wore a golden crown with his long hair hung loosely behind him. His appearance was quite ordinary, yet his eyes had lightning flashing and the alternating of the sun and moon appearing within it, and it revealed a boundlessly vast and majestic sight.

Everywhere his gaze passed, it seemed as if it could penetrate the world and pierce straight into the depths of one's soul.

This was quite a grand showing. It could be said that all of the most powerful nobles and officials of the Verid Empire were here at the moment.

Anyone who had never witnessed such a grand team before would tremble upon seeing the Emperor of the mighty Verid Empire and all the most powerful officials together.

However, upon his arrival, Ling Chen was still as relaxed and comfortable as ever even when they were all glaring at him, sizing him up and down, including the Emperor.

While the emperor was looking at him, Ling Chen was also checking him out. Both the emperor and Ling Chen were analyzing each other without saying a word.

After a while, Ling Chen finally broke the silence as he said with a mysterious smile on his face."So, you are the Emperor of the Verid Empire. You are not bad. Tell me, what did you see with that Eye power of yours."
