Chapter 837

But the Young Lady wore a serious expression.

This made Thomas suspect that the Young Lady had been deceived.

Because he knew what the Young Lady had been worried about lately.

Maybe someone was trying to use this opportunity to get close to her!

This made Thomas alert.

But he couldn't stop the Young Lady, so he decided to follow her.

He must not let the Young Lady be fooled.

"Don't worry, you'll understand once you finish the manga!"

Seeing Thomas's expression, Kamisato Ayaka smiled lightly.

She naturally knew Thomas didn't believe it.

That was normal.

If it were her,

If she hadn't known the boss was that mysterious black-haired boy,

If she hadn't experienced it herself,

She wouldn't have believed it either.

But it didn't matter!

Once he finished the manga and received the reward, he'd understand naturally.

No need for further explanation.

"Come on, I'll take you to meet the boss, then get the manga!"

She walked toward the counter.

"The boss?"

Thomas muttered, then followed after her.

"Welcome! I didn't expect Miss Kamisato to arrive so early today!"

Seeing a familiar face, Han Feng smiled and greeted her.

"Because the manga here are so interesting, Ayaka wants to see them as soon as possible."

Kamisato Ayaka nodded and smiled.

She came here not only for the reward, but also because of these captivating manga.

For a Young Lady like her, the stories in each manga were deeply enchanting.

They held her spellbound.

"Then same as always: 100,000 Mora per person, only one viewing per day!"

Han Feng sipped his tea.

"One hundred thousand Mora? And only one viewing?!"

Thomas's eyes were filled with shock.

This was robbery!

The light novels at the neighboring Yae Bookstore only cost a few thousand!

This was definitely a scam shop!

Thomas was about to step forward and expose it, but saw the Young Lady calmly pay.

He hesitated, then chose to hold back.

"Forget it, I'll wait until after he finishes the manga."

Then he'd see what kind of reward he'd get.

If it was just showmanship, he'd have a legitimate reason to act!

"Thomas, go to that bookshelf and pick up a manga called Long Zhu, then find a seat in the silent zone or the discussion area."

After paying, Kamisato Ayaka instructed Thomas.

"Yes, Young Lady!"

Thomas nodded, glanced at Han Feng, then walked straight to the bookshelf.

"Miss Kamisato, aren't you going to pick a manga?"

Han Feng asked with a smile.

"I'll wait until Thomas finishes before I choose mine."

Kamisato Ayaka shook her head gently.

She didn't have the habit of reading with others.

So this was the only way.

"Why not try the new manga? I just released two yesterday."

Han Feng smiled and waved his hand.

The manga Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and Ready Player One flew into his hands.

"Boss, what are these two manga about?"

After examining the covers, Kamisato Ayaka asked curiously.

"This one, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, tells of a magical world. The other is about a virtual world!"

Han Feng gave a brief explanation.

Otherwise, too much detail would be spoilers.

"Virtual world? What's that?"

Shinri Ayaka's eyes held a hint of confusion.

The Magic World 983 was easy to understand, but this virtual world she found much less clear.

"It's a world created by humans, entered through some kind of device where your consciousness can go. Inside, you can do anything—adventures, fighting monsters, and so on."

Han Feng said with a smile.

"You can do anything?"

Shinri Ayaka's eyes lit up.

As the Young Lady of the Shinri family, though her status was noble,

she had to practice countless rituals, manners, and sword techniques daily.

She rarely had time of her own.

Even when she did, she seldom got to do what she truly wanted.

She was constantly mindful not to bring shame upon the Shinri family.

In the real world, this was true,

but if she entered this so-called virtual world, would she no longer have to worry about these things?

Thinking of this, her heart stirred with eagerness.

She urgently wanted to see what the manga was like.

But her longing for Long Zhu made her pause.

For a moment, she was torn.

"Try it—you won't be disappointed!"

Seeing the young girl's interest, Han Feng smiled and handed her the manga.

"Then… thank you, Boss!"

After a moment's hesitation, Shinri Ayaka still took it.

In the end, the thought of freedom won out.
