The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　She also felt that reading in the morning made her mind clearer.

　Moreover, there aren't many people at the library early Sunday morning, so it's quieter for her.

　St. Mary's Library.

　Pandora Drogon arrived at the library very early.

　Pandora narrowed her eyes and said, "Is it for two people?"

　"No," Dak said, "it was more like a family gathering."

　"As expected?" Pandora thought to herself, but still asked, "What about the others?"

　She had only read about ten pages when she saw Dark appear at the library entrance.

　As Dak approached the counter, Pandora moved the registration form over and said, "Good morning, looking for information?"

　"Good morning, senior." Dark didn't pick up his pen but went straight to the point, "Could I invite you to dinner tonight?"

　26/127

Chapter 628 The Darkdemon Family's Imperial Throne (5k)

　Seeing Pandora ask such a question, Dark knew that she had already tacitly agreed.

　So Dak said with a smile, "Victoria, Phoenix, Aurora, and a few other club members, since we've planned to have a meal together in the club room."

　"In the clubroom?" Pandora pondered. "Do it ourselves?"

　Dark nodded: "Yes."

　Pandora suddenly realized, "Could it be barbecue?"

　Dak: "Barbecue is fine, but today we're focusing on hot pot."

　"Hot pot, the one you mentioned?" Pandora asked, intrigued. "When?"

　Dark asked, "After six o'clock in the evening?"

　Pandora nodded: "Alright, I'll let Ms. Bella know that you shouldn't start before I arrive."

　He first went to the cafeteria to learn some tips from the halfling chefs, and then called two magical elves to head to the Traveler's Street to buy ingredients.

　But as soon as he reached the castle gate, he sensed something, and then Victoria, dressed in the uniform of the House of Fools, suddenly pounced out from the corner.

　:rg

　He quickly reached out and hugged her, and Victoria looked up at him with teary eyes.

　“How could that be?” Dark patted the little winged dragon that flew over and laughed.

　After making the appointment, Dak did not linger in the library for long.

　Victoria wiped away her tears while stealing glances: "Why does everyone else have pocket money, but I don't? Waaah!"

　Dark: "Who are you talking about?"

　Victoria released him, took a step back, and then counted on her fingers, saying, "Anna, Angie, and Aurora all have them!"

　"What's wrong?" Dark asked instinctively.

　Victoria then sobbed, "You're being unfair! Waaah!"

　Dark: "Huh?"

　Seeing the suspicion in Dark's eyes, Victoria quickly said in a coquettish tone, "I don't care, I strongly demand that everyone be treated equally!"

　“Alright then.” Dark tapped her little nose and said, “One thousand credits, to be paid in seven days, or you will have to pay three points of interest. If you don’t pay in two weeks, I will force you to pay. You should know what that means.”

　"So what if my credits turn negative? I get it!" Victoria was overjoyed and almost jumped up on the spot. "With these thousand credits, I'm sure I can earn even more credits on Halloween Eve!"

　Darko:

　So how did you know that?

　You can't always favor one over the other.

　With about four days until Halloween Eve, if they make good use of these four days, both Victoria and Phoenix should be able to craft a few useful Magical Spirit cards.

　Dark asked somewhat helplessly, "What about Phoenix?"

　“She’s over there,” Victoria exclaimed excitedly.

　Dark looked around the corner and said, "Let her come over too."

　but

　"Has Victoria forgotten that she's a six-star vampire heiress?"

　After pondering for a while, Dak muttered to himself.

　After Dak drafted contracts with each of them, he transferred 1,000 credits to them and then watched as his darlings, who "never thought of their old father except when borrowing money," hurriedly ran toward the lakeside pavilion leading to Travelers' Street.

　It seems they had already been considering what to buy before they came.

　But as long as it's not used for enjoyment or waste, Dark won't care.

　After arriving at Traveller's Street via the teleportation hub in the middle of the lake, Dark saw the pumpkin lanterns all over the street and knew that there would definitely be a street event tonight.

　October 31st this year falls on a Thursday. As is customary, both October 31st and November 1st are public holidays.

　And because it happened to fall on a weekend, it made it a four-day mini-holiday.

　"Well, if we take into account the issue of mana expenditure and replenishment, she is indeed not suitable for participating in combat."

　He then slowed his pace and followed them into the pavilion in the middle of the lake.

　Sure enough, the Traveler's Street was bustling with people, shoulder to shoulder, and filled with shouts.

　Fortunately, not many people go to the Traveler's Street to buy ingredients, and after finding a shop, Dak quickly bought everything he needed.

　But he didn't leave there. Instead, he turned a corner and came to the shop of the All-People Duel Club.

　The Traveler's Street will reopen on the morning of October 31st.

　The students only have one day left to buy the items they need for Halloween Eve in Traveler's Street.

　This day will be very busy, as expected.

　Dark thought for a moment and asked, "What about you? You're a student of the academy, you should be qualified to participate, right?"

　“Hmm.” Eve nodded. “Professor Sylph told me that I can participate in this masquerade ball as a first-year student. However, I don’t have a magical spirit, so if I participate, I will have to rely on my own strength to compete, which is really against the academy’s principles. So I will probably just wander around.”

　“If you think it’s okay, then go ahead and do what you want.” Darke walked into the store and asked, “Are the Halloween-themed cards ready?”

　Eve happened to be free, and upon discovering the young master, she quickly went forward to greet him.

　Dak looked at the shops covered in Halloween decorations and asked curiously, "Is business bad today?"

　Eve smiled and said, "There aren't many people buying duel disks, Easter eggs, and card packs today. I guess most of the customers are busy choosing costumes for the Halloween party."

　“Not bad.” Dark couldn’t help but laugh.

　Rarity equals value, and limited edition equals appeal.

　It seems that his words and deeds have been working well all along.

　Eve said, "We're ready. In fact, we've already started marketing outside of the Academy, with corresponding Easter eggs, card packs, and Halloween-themed duel disks going on sale on Halloween Eve."

　"I see." Dark thought for a moment, then asked, "What about at the academy?"

　Eve smiled and said, "As for the academy, due to scheduling issues, it will be released on Halloween. Then we'll do some original content at the opening ceremony of the Golden Cup. Following the idea that Young Master previously provided, we will also sell Halloween eggs containing models and cards at the Golden Cup opening ceremony, with a chance to get limited edition Halloween-themed cards."

　Dark waved his hand: "It won't cause any problems if we lock it up for a while."

　Eve couldn't help but bite her lip lightly and lower her head in thought.

　She wanted to go, but reason told her she couldn't, leaving her in a dilemma.

　However, since the shop isn't as busy as I expected today, inviting Eve to have dinner together shouldn't be a big problem.

　So he said to Eve, "Get ready, around six o'clock in the evening, come to my club room and have something to eat."

　Eve paused, and after realizing this was an invitation to a dinner party, she hesitated and said, "But I'm the only one in the restaurant."

　“Mmm!” Eve couldn’t help but smile, her smile exceptionally radiant.

　After chatting with Eve for another ten minutes or so, Dak left the shop and walked out of Travelers' Street.

　Dark looked at her face and said directly, "This is an order."

　"Alright then," Eve said. "I'll eat quickly then."

　Dark smiled and said, "Whatever you say."

　In his mind, this was just a spontaneous family gathering. If anyone happened to run into him in the club, he would invite them along.

　If they're not here, then there will be two fewer mouths to feed.

　In short, it all comes down to who gets to enjoy the food!

　He then carried a large amount of ingredients up the spiral clock tower and brought them into the clubroom.

　Apart from the magical sprites, there was no one else in the classroom.

　Dark did not actually inform the members of the society, including Diana and Rose.

　Meow immediately volunteered to make a pumpkin lantern, and the other magical elves were also very interested in decorating the club.

　Dak then handed the task over to them, while he began to prepare the ingredients.

　He has a kitchen knife, a cutting board, and plates and bowls.

　“I’ve heard that some clubs also hold events like dinner parties on Halloween. However, they usually schedule them for the evening of Halloween, which avoids the costume parties on Halloween Eve.”

　Dark looked around and suddenly realized that the classroom lacked a festive atmosphere, so he called the magical elves for a short meeting.

　Then he stopped and decorated the clubroom with the magical spirits.

　The atmosphere in the classroom was very lively.

　A Ditto that runs around with a trash slime on its head.

　Currently, the main steps are to wash the ingredients, then slice or dice them.

　As for the categories that need to be matured, they will have to wait until Aurora finishes her own business and then make them together in her dormitory.

　Because there was such a large amount of food, his workload was enormous and it took him a very long time, but he managed to finish processing it before noon.

　With everyone's joint efforts, the classroom of the Fantastic Beasts Club gradually became filled with the atmosphere of Halloween.

　Dak rarely gets a break, and the latent fatigue that had accumulated over the past few days gradually dissipates in this busyness, bringing him a sense of ease.

　At 3 p.m., Aurora, who came to find Dark, was surprised to see that the clubroom had been completely changed.

　The little Guhuoniao playing hide-and-seek with Agumon.

　Xiong Bao blended in very naturally.

　And then there's Yuehun, who's putting on a cool and aloof act.

　Aurora blushed slightly and said, "It's nothing."

　"It's settled then." Dak waved his hand. "Come on, put all the ingredients that need to be cooked in the basket, and let's take them over together?"

　“Okay.” Aurora walked over quickly and picked up the two rather heavy baskets, one in each hand.

　Dak put down his work and called out, "Finished?"

　"Mmm." Aurora nodded. "Everything I need to buy is ready. Let's prepare tonight and start the experiment tomorrow."

　Dark said, "Then let's postpone our midnight snack until after Halloween, shall we? I'll feel guilty if this delays our pursuit of the Crimson Star."

　Aurora put the basket down temporarily, opened the door, and invited Dak inside.

　When Dak first entered her dormitory room, he wasn't at all reserved.

　Aurora's room was very tidy. The shelves on her desk were filled with books beyond her syllabus, and there were several cute little plush toys on the bedside table. In the place where Dak had placed his lab table, there was a stove, cabinets, and a wide variety of kitchen utensils.

　Dak had no choice but to pick up the last, smaller basket and walk out of the clubroom with her.

　Before long, the two arrived at the second floor of the Noble Academy tower.

　He offered a few words of praise, and then began cooking with Aurora.

　The two worked together very smoothly, but before long, Dark went from being in a dominant position to being relegated to a supporting role.
