'Great Eastern' cruise ship, cabin.
Triton stood in front of the mirror, carefully checking his clothes to see if there were any wrinkles, corners, fine lines, dust, etc.
"Alan, can you help me take a look?" He was still a little worried.
Allen came over, looked around him carefully, and then said, "No problem."
"Really?" He took a deep breath and sat down.
Although the girls thought this guy had an incredibly strong mental state, only he knew it was all superficial. However, he had a natural ability to keep his facial expressions consistent with his mood, thus concealing some flaws.
"Actually, I kind of regret it, Allen."
Sitting by the window, Triton looked at the night view outside the window. The sea under the moonlight was quiet and distant.
"Will you still regret it? I can't tell." Allen put his hands behind his head, lay on the bed, and looked at the companion in front of him whom he had known for many years.
"Yes, before everything started, I had a strong urge, but after actually implementing it, I found that I was thinking too simply and there were too many loopholes. If I failed, I couldn't imagine what I would experience afterwards..."
"Relax, Triton. This is just the beginning. It's not that bad yet. Besides, those young ladies are not ordinary people. They will have various solutions when the time comes."
"Alan, actually, among us, you have the best psychological quality." Triton turned around and looked at the handsome young man with a harmless and handsome face.
"No, I'm just an ordinary coachman." Allen waved his hand.
Seeing his denial, Triton did not object, but thought back to a few years ago.
His mother died early, and he had come to Ubere with his father to work. His father worked very hard at the Filura Chamber of Commerce, and was appreciated by one of the managers, but later died in an accident. The manager of the Chamber of Commerce took pity on him and hired him as a doorman and waiter at the hotel.
This job is not tiring, and the hotel provides food, accommodation and lodging, which is considered a good job in the eyes of ordinary people.
He thought so at first, but gradually, it became different.
One day when he was 15 years old, he followed his senior to a guest room to serve guests. In that luxuriously decorated room, there were only three boys aged 15-16 and a 9-year-old girl.
The young master of Filura secretly ran out to play with his sister and met his friends by the way.
"Long time no see. I've been under strict supervision lately, so my dad hired a Sequence 6 teacher for me." The young master complained.
"Haha, that's pitiful. My situation is different. My dad has been disappointed in me for a long time and has gone to train my younger brother." One of the teenagers replied.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Recently, our family got a batch of rare and famous wines from the East, and we'd like to give everyone a taste."
The senior beside him carefully took out a small carved jar from the box, unsealed it, and an intoxicating aroma of wine wafted out.
"Come, have a drink." The young man called his companions and poured himself a glass first.
...
"Ahem, so strong!" He took a sip and threw the cup away. The other two laughed, and then after chatting for a while, they threw the jar of wine there and ignored it.
After the incident, the senior secretly sold the jar of wine. Because he was afraid that he would tell others about it, he gave a small amount of hush money. But this "small amount" of hush money was equivalent to his three years' salary.
From that day on, he realized that the world had so many opportunities, and working honestly as before was too slow.
He then gradually got involved in some of the hotel's shady areas, earning a lot of extra money. Until that day when the city was in chaos and fire, he found a good opportunity, that is, Luna, the missing lady of the Filura Chamber of Commerce.
If he could control and preserve it, he might be able to gain huge benefits in the future, so he rushed into the fire and took the child out.
Unfortunately, things didn't unfold as he'd anticipated. The Filula Chamber of Commerce was completely defeated. This wasn't just a minor feud between chambers of commerce, but a war between nations. Lurna's airships descended in droves, and mages descended from the sky, defeating each rescue team from the branch, ultimately eradicating the Filula Chamber of Commerce.
Her own thoughts slowly sank to the bottom of the river, and she no longer had any extravagant hopes. Fortunately, there was Allen, who had similar experiences, and Sulis, who she was close to. With their mutual support, Luna didn't become a burden.
His many years of working in a hotel had exposed him to many extravagant and novel worlds that ordinary people could not witness, and he found it increasingly difficult to tolerate the mediocre and simple life.
He also wanted to experience the pleasure of living a life to the fullest, and this thought kept lingering in his mind until his plan unexpectedly succeeded.
And today, he will dress up like those upper-class people and attend the banquet.
This time he was no longer a humble waiter, but an extremely respected guest, enjoying their service.
Excitement, nervousness, anticipation, worry, all kinds of emotions were stirring in his heart. He slowly stood up and pushed open the door.
"Let's go, Allen."
---------------
"Huh." Lily patted her almost empty chest and sat back down.
"It wasn't this exciting before. I always experience all kinds of new things with you guys." She said in a low voice.
"What's the proverb? Geniuses and chosen people are like whirlpools, attracting heroes from all sides of destiny." said Aliena.
"You mean I was too ordinary before?" Lily retorted jokingly.
"But this feeling is quite novel." She thought back to the handsome guy just now.
"No way, Lily is really moved." Alena said exaggeratedly.
"I'll hit you~" Several girls teased.
Triton walked into the banquet hall in the middle of the ship, looked at the colorful lights and the figures dancing under the colorful chandeliers, hesitated for a moment, and then turned to a corner next to him.
He wanted to take a look first and get used to it. Allen followed.
"Would you like something to drink, sir?" A waiter in a short vest and a white shirt came over with several kinds of wine on the tray in his hand.
The waiter's face was very handsome but not too sharp, which made people feel good about him. His clothes were close-fitting and neat. Even though he was holding a large plate, the cup in it was very stable and there was no spillage at all. There was not a single drop of water on the white tablecloth in the plate.
As a former waiter, Triton naturally knew how much skilled skills were required, and that pleasing face was one in a thousand.
"I want a glass of Baiyinglu." Allen looked at it and chose one of them, and then the waiter took out the glass of wine and placed it on the table.
"What about this gentleman?" He looked at the seated Triton with a calm gaze, without any surprise, curiosity, discrimination, etc., just like all the other guests.
