The Gilded Chamber stood in the heart of the inner city. It sold valuable items such as panaceas, artifact weapons, and rare martial arts manuscripts.

Only dignitaries and martial arts experts ever stepped through its doors. Ordinary people couldn’t afford to glance at the price tags, let alone buy anything.

Inside, Cassius Hawke, an elderly man with gray hair, lounged comfortably in a reclining chair as he listened to music. He held a small metal flask in one hand and occasionally took a sip.

At that moment, a luxury car screeched to a stop at the entrance, leaving long black streaks across the stone pavement.

Before the vehicle had even stopped, Matthias opened the door and jumped out. The second he walked into the Gilded Chamber, he started issuing commands.

“Get your chief out here! I have something important to discuss,” he barked.

“Looks like no one told you how things work around here,” Cassius said coolly, not even looking at him.

He stayed reclined in the chair with his eyes half-closed.

“If you want to buy something, you need to make an appointment,” he added. “We don’t take walk-ins.”

“I’m Prince Matthias Linsor. I need to see your chief now. Delay me, and you’ll answer for it,” Matthias snapped, flashing his gold badge to verify his identity.

“Oh, it’s Prince Matthias. Please forgive my disrespect,” Cassius said.

He gave a mock bow but stayed comfortably lying down. It was obvious he didn’t plan to get up.

He continued, “Still, rules are rules. No appointment, no service.”
