Reincarnation of the Strongest Healer

Chapter 386: Time of the Month

After getting teased through their journey to Redule Restaurant, Carmen got a gist of the Vanguard guild situation.

It looked mysterious and mighty on the surface, but the truth was, the guild was nothing but a paper tiger.

Other than the achievement of bullying the branch Reaver Guild and its monopolization of a near-run-down city, there really wasnʼt much in the guild.

The funds and manpower were severely lacking.

”Is this not the main guild but a branch one?” Carmen asked in disbelief when she was finally exposed to most of the core secrets of the Vanguard guild.

She found it baffling that the Vanguard guild was still functioning with so many problems, consisting of many small and big ones.

”This is the main guild.” Xu Feng lightly commented, parking the car at the restaurantʼs parking lot.

”Additionally, the boss is currently busy with his other tasks, so he delegated all responsibility to me. The funds were also almost expended because of me.”

Carmenʼs face twitched, clearly unable to comprehend his actions.

If the funds were severely lacking, then why did he continue to squander the gold coins around as if they were copper coins?

Doesnʼt he know the value of gold coins in the Divine World?

Currently, many players still scramble around, with many offering high amounts of money in exchange for gold coins. Enjoy exclusive adventures from empire

As long as Xu Feng decided to exchange a few of those that he squandered around with, earning a few hundred thousand was a piece of cake.

Alas, before she could question him, she saw Xu Feng exiting the car and getting ready to head into the restaurant.

”Wait a minute, Guild Leader.” Carmen quickly got out of the car and chased after him. As for the car, Vera, the system AI, locked automatically once it no longer sensed any occupants.

Ignoring her call out, Xu Feng went toward the female receptionist, who promptly asked politely, ”Hello, Sir, do you have a reservation?”

”Yes, itʼs labeled under Xu Feng.”

”Give me a moment.” The female receptionist smiled lightly and went through the smart tablet. A second later, she found the name and the reservation.

”Mister Feng, your table is ready and located at table number 21.”

”Thanks,” Xu Feng nodded and had his arm grabbed by Carmen.

”You stop avoiding my question!” Carmen pursed her lips.

Confused, the female receptionist thought it was an unruly person who tried to harm their customer, but was glad that she held herself back.

”Iʼll tell you once we get inside and order some food. Youʼve been starving for a while, so why talk outside when we can talk after ordering?” Xu Feng mused, giving a light apologetic smile to the female receptionist for the unsightly scene.

Sometime later, the two arrived at their designated table number, where a uniformed waiter promptly walked over, poured them some water into the clear glass bottle, and asked what they wanted to eat.

Annoyed, Carmen was about to just order something simple, but to her dismay. Xu Feng went ahead and ordered an expensive wine, followed by an expensive course for two people.

Watching him squandering again, Carmen frowned.

Previously, she didnʼt know about the actual financial state of the Vanguard guild, so she thought they were filthy rich. Thus, she didnʼt care much.

However, now that she had joined and became eligible to know the core secrets, she was infuriated with Xu Fengʼs flamboyant spending.

”Guild Leader, arenʼt you afraid your boss might kick you out for reckless spending?” Carmen questioned softly. Underlying her question was concern and worry that he might get replaced by another person soon.

”The boss trusts me and will never kick me out.” Xu Feng chuckled softly, taking a few sips of the water. The boss and he were the same person after all.

How could he kick himself out of the guild?

As for letting Carmen in on the core secrets, Xu Feng still refrained a little bit and chose not to disclose his real identity.

It wasnʼt that he didnʼt trust her, but the fact that it would become a huge burden for her if she were to know. Just the mere fact that she already acted like a cat that had its tail stepped on upon his conduct was enough reason to warn him of the red flags.

”Are you sure that you wonʼt get kicked out?” Skeptical, Carmen seriously doubted his words. ”No, Iʼll need to start putting restrictions on your spending. Otherwise, the guild will be bankrupt before it could even continue to operate nicely.”

Startled, Xu Feng was nearly taken aback upon hearing those kinds of words.

Restriction on his spending?

Wasnʼt that the same as him back then when he had to control and calculate the amount of money he could use each day to survive?

”You think too much, Carmen.” Putting on a solemn expression, Xu Feng paused for a moment once the waiter returned with the fancy and expensive wine on his arm.

”This wine is…” As the waiter blabbered about its origin and exquisite taste, he finally poured a bit of the wine for Xu Feng and Carmen to taste.

Xu Feng naturally savored its taste, given he rarely treated himself fancily. Carmen, on the other hand, merely sipped it a little bit and was not satisfied.

For that kind of price, this wine was definitely not worth it compared to the ones she had at Green Flame City.

Without a doubt, the trained waiter was dumbfounded to see a customer unsatisfied with the wine flavor.

”Haha, donʼt mind her. Sheʼs just not in a good mood lately.” Xu Feng chuckled and gave a subtle hint that it was that time of the month.

Realization dawned upon the waiter as he nodded and cleverly retreated to give his companion personal space to relax her emotions.

”Did you just imply that Iʼm having that kind of thing?” Carmen twitched her mouth, baffled by his shamelessness. She was genuinely concerned with the guild and his position. Yet instead of being grateful, he hinted to others that she was having her period.

Who wouldnʼt be infuriated?
