Chapter 305: Brainwashing Attempt

Elysia and her group went to private room 1, but only Elysia and her assistants approached there. While the others were just waiting near the Elevator Device, including Vanessa.

Elysia said something to the closest employee, then the employee went to private room 1 to make sure.

*Knock* *Knock*

"Excuse me, sir." The employee said politely.

"Yes, what's up?" A slightly husky voice sounded from within.

"The owner of Lovely Pizza has come to meet you based on the request you told Manager Ayla some time ago." The employee went straight to the point.

"Ah, yes! Please come in. I've been anticipating your arrival." A somewhat excited voice sounded a moment later, signaling the customer's permission.

Hearing the confirmation, the employee opened the door for Elysia and her assistants. After the three girls entered, he closed the door silently and left.

In private room 1, Elysia saw a man with a young master vibe. Then, an ordinary man, who probably the servant. But, this servant gave her a pretty inexplicable premonition.

"Haha, thank you for taking a little time to come over to me, Miss Elysia, Miss Evelyn, Miss Gabriella. Greetings, my name is Reggie Byrne, a young master who will enter the Deterry Academy of Magic next year." Reggie introduced himself fluently and confidently. He wanted to leave a good impression on these three amazingly stunning girls.

"Mm, nice to meet you, Mr. Reggie. I heard about you from Manager Ayla regarding your large order. If I may suggest, please don't overeat pizza. It's not good for your health if you eat that much in one period." Elysia conveyed her care in a friendly and courteous manner.

"Oh that, it doesn't matter because I only eat some and I keep the rest in my Space Bag. Look at me and my servant, are any of us bloated because of more than a hundred orders?" Reggie patted his stomach and pointed towards his servant.

Elysia and her friends did not see that these two men were bloated. So, that was probably true. However, what was the purpose of this young master ordering that much and waiting until noon? Was it because this young master only wanted to meet the owner of Lavely Pizza?

"Oh, so it's like that. We're glad to hear that." Evelyn smiled faintly out of courtesy.

"Anyway, I am here to express my appreciation to the owner of Lavely Pizza with this brilliant idea to make this delicious creation called pizza and its variants. I am immensely thankful to all the culinary experts for making delightful dishes and for every dutiful service provided." Reggie waved his hand slightly for attention.

"Oh my, if so, shouldn't you express your appreciation to the chefs who make those delicious pizzas with their skillful hands?" Ella tilted her head slightly. She thought that the appreciation was not suitable to be given to her and her friends.

"As you said, Miss Gabriella. I've said that to one of the chefs, employees, even the manager too. So, I just want to convey that to the owners of this brilliant culinary originator." Reggie gave an open palm hand gesture and placed his other hand on the table.

"We have received your appreciation. Thank you for your kind words. We are happy to know you enjoyed our dishes." Elysia delivered her respectful and polite response with a smile. Still, she focused slightly on the black ring on this young master's thumb.

[| Lv. 45 | Earth Grade | Ring of Desire | 90/100 |]

Elysia was shocked inwardly without changing her expression. A fifteen years old young man with a rudimentary magic circuit already possessed an Earth Grade item?

It was level 45... What kind of aristocratic family would entrust such a high-grade item to their child just like that? His family were not afraid that such a precious object could be stolen with ease from this young master?

"Well, I'm satisfied after saying my appreciation to you. Now it's time for me to go. However, allow me to convey my admiration and respectful gesture to you." Reggie stood up and stretched out his hand as if asking for a handshake, but it turned upwards as if expecting the girl's hand there.

Elysia was checking this young man's status screen. Still, she became awkward shortly afterward because his hand was directed at her.

All she knew, someone unfamiliar would only offer a handshake if it had something to do with business. Currently, it was the interaction between the business owner and the customer. The latter wanted to pay his respects to the former. So, she thought it could be justified.

Feeling that there was nothing wrong with this young master who hadn't even reached level 20, Elysia only stretched out her delicate hand for an ordinary handshake.

To her surprise, she felt an electric shock flowing from the tip of her hand throughout her body just as soon as this young man's hand came into contact with hers.

Elysia became absent-minded for a moment. She didn't even understand what this young master was saying afterward, nor did she realize that her hand was being kissed.

When foreign energy tried to invade her mind, Elysia immediately regained her sense. She eradicated all the evil things because of sheer reflex.

Then Reggie held out his hand to Evelyn. Evelyn was hesitant to accept it, but she still gave her hand because her best friend was the same, albeit so reluctantly.

Evelyn felt a little electrocuted, and she went into a daze the next moment. Simultaneously, she thought that this young man named Reggie Byrne was the perfect ideal man, too great for the world. The princess of the Northern Kingdom blushed the first time just because of a man.

Reggie grinned faintly when the two girls had fallen and were just waiting for his suggestion. Then, he went to the Holy Princess and stretched out his hand with an amiable smile.

Unfortunately, Ella only held her hand in front of her upper chest. She never came into contact with a man other than her grandfather and her father.

Therefore, she did not want to accept the handshake from this young master. However, she didn't have a chance to speak yet, and someone interrupted.

"Young master, I'm still hungry. Buy me another pizza or whatever." Reggie's servant suddenly complained and rested his head on the table as if pleading.

It gave Elysia enough time to grab her friends' hands and pull them to take cover behind her.

She finally realized that this young man was unusual, and the magic that had attacked her earlier... This young man was an enemy.

"Ely, what are you doing so suddenly? It's rude to do it in Young Master Reggie's presence, you know? Ah, look at him, how handsome he is, what a gentlemen's embodiment." Evelyn had a dissatisfied expression as she looked at her best friend, but she seemed to melt when she looked back at Reggie.

Elysia was surprised to hear that. Was Evelyn unaware of the foreign energy earlier? Or maybe, it had already invaded this girl's mind? It was only about three seconds, and Evelyn was already hit by this young master's spell? Was it because of that suspicious ring?

Forget the questions in mind. Elysia immediately came to Evelyn's aid by checking the energy flow in this girl's body. She channeled her magic swiftly and eradicated the foreign energy like a black mist in Evelyn's brain.

'Ely, did something happen?' Elena suddenly asked with concern. She realized something was wrong with the turmoil she felt a moment ago. Unfortunately, when she checked into private room 1 with her magic vision, she didn't see anything amiss.

'Sister Elena, please come here with Nell and Saint experts. These two customers are not ordinary. They are trying to brainwash us!' Elysia called for help with urgency.

"Rosie, please take care of Vanessa for a moment. Ariel, Maximilian, come with me to that private room." After handing the white cat to Rosie, Elena went straight to private room 1 without waiting for anyone's response.

Nell, who sat on Elena's shoulder in invisible magic, just went with the flow without knowing what happened.

Reggie was still stunned by the unexpected turn of events. He never thought that Elysia would oppose him.

Meanwhile, Evelyn seemed to wake up from her strange state and became disoriented for an instant. "What just happened?"

Evelyn still remembered what she said before. She covered her mouth with wide eyes. She couldn't believe she said that. What had gotten into her?

"Hmph!" Elysia stared at the two customers in front of her as if her gaze could kill. She immediately restrained their movements with her magic without waiting for them to act or respond.

She had to arrest them and find out the mastermind behind this. To be honest, she couldn't imagine if this young master managed to carry out his evil plans on herself and her friends.

Given Evelyn's sudden change in behavior earlier, something like brainwashing was a severe crime. What just happened was a hidden scheme, and it was intolerable.

"Hey, wait, wait. What are you doing all of a sudden, lady boss? This isn't customer-friendly treatment." Reggie's servant complained and tried to free himself from the magic that restrained all his movements, but it was a futile attempt.

"Miss Elysia, why are you binding us with your magic like this? This is not a hospitable treatment for your customers. Please free my servant and me from this magic right now, or I will file a complaint to give you endless trouble." Reggie frowned and complained like a customer who received injustice treatment. Yet, he was pretty nervous and thought about what had gone wrong.
