They didn't understand that some things in this world are better avoided than confronted! Everything in this world demands a price greater than what you seek to gain!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce didn't bother responding, the golden mask merely displaying an expression of boredom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The princess clearly noticed his disdain, momentarily appearing drained of all energy, her face ashen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You haven't seen... truly, you just haven't witnessed...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You haven't seen either,\" Lu Ce said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Me?

After all, this person's behavior indoors had already been outrageously rude - in a way, it desensitized her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After navigating the palace's maze-like corridors, they arrived at a dining hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It resembled a courtly banquet setup - an astonishingly long table flanked by rows of chairs on both sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Entering, Lu Ce immediately spotted every player he'd seen before, including Shui Zhongmeng and Xie Antong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All attendants were present except for Sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, they were flustered preparing table settings, occasionally hurried along by two guards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong naturally noticed \"Sin,\" but unaware of his current mission, showed no outward reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the princess and Lu Ce entered, preparations were complete - silver plates arranged with unfamiliar items at the table's center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce wasn't sure if these were things he'd never seen, or if they simply didn't exist in the real world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his arrogant attitude remained unchanged - entering the dining hall felt no different than walking into a cafeteria.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at the table, then walked straight to the head seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Italian and American mafia territory, this was the don's seat - he felt perfectly suited for it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, this seat wasn't meant for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he sat, all guards - even attendants - turned to stare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frankly, everyone present found this baffling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The player-attendants didn't know if this top-ranked player had special in-game missions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guards were even more clueless about who he really was - they just sensed he wasn't to be trifled with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nobody understood his actions - only Lu Ce himself saw nothing wrong with his behavior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guards stirred restlessly but ultimately held back, looking to the princess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still irritated from their earlier exchange, the princess hesitated, then acquiesced, taking the secondary seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eight attendants immediately surrounded them with plates, cutlery, glasses and napkins, ready to serve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two diners being waited on by so many instantly made Lu Ce uncomfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Spread out! You're blocking the light!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attendants froze - this request would violate game rules! This player was truly rotten to the core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Disperse. We don't need this many anyway - it's pointless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The princess waved them off. She'd long grown tired of such formalities but previously couldn't object. This situation actually suited her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other players sighed in relief, stepping back - except Shui Zhongmeng, who sensed an opportunity!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless of that inexplicable world-ranked player, this was his chance to approach the princess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having missed previous opportunities, he stepped forward - but before he could speak, the princess pointed at Xie Antong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You - come serve by my side.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Antong blinked, unsure why she'd been chosen, but recognizing this as an opportunity, moved to comply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ce had already picked up a green pre-meal drink, bringing it to his lips when the golden mask suddenly gleamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Halt!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His sudden command startled both Xie Antong and the princess, who turned to him questioningly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He motioned for Xie Antong to stop, tapping the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come here instead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",834,"2026-06-02T09:03:27.233Z",1,"novelbin.me","5cce0a80c1ed45fd844b84c42ce39da2efb6b344a8e2c0929ac7f4f92e2e396a","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-297","pain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-chapter-295",867,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpain-immunity-worried-the-villains-aren-t-twiste-cover.jpg"]
