Big Capitalist

Harrington saw that it was Merlin who greeted him enthusiastically. He had heard from his beloved apprentice, Kim Henry, that Merlin had spent hundreds of thousands of gold coins in the Steam and Star Guild recently. For them, the alchemists, this was a wealthy customer.

"Merlin, congratulations on passing the exam." Harrington first congratulated Merlin on passing the exam, then pointed to the teachers around him.

"Hasn't today's exam already ended? According to custom, every time the first-grade exam is over, we teachers will get together and have a good chat."

Harrington continued cheerfully, "And we recently discovered a treasure tavern in the middle area of the Arcane City. We reserved the place yesterday, and today we are going to have a good drink."

Merlin thought that the treasure tavern the teacher mentioned could not be the one opened by his parents. Dwarves are crazy, right? However, Merlin did not ask more questions but smiled and nodded in response, "Then I wish all teachers have fun."

After saying goodbye to Teacher Harrington, Merlin quickly returned to the back hill of the college. The back hill of the college was still the same as before, with countless students coming in and out. After the exams, they naturally came here to work. However, a semester finally ended, and students naturally wanted to relax.

"The exam is finally over! I lasted more than ten rounds against my senior. I can definitely get a B in this exam. I'm going to have a good meal after my part-time job is over."

"I saved up a lot of gold coins just for today. I plan to buy two lotus leaf beggar chickens and take advantage of the buy one get one free promotion during Mixue Time to buy two cups of bubble milk tea and refrigerate the free lemonade."

"I'm going to buy ten bags of steamed buns with milk flavor. I want to eat as many as I can at one time!"

"Do you remember the shop where Boss Merlin was recruiting workers in the Arcane City?"

"You mean dwarves are crazy too?"

"Yes, I heard from a senior who works there that the barbecue sold in that store is super delicious. Many teachers in our college have designated it as their designated gathering place."

"Yeah, it's a barbecue delicacy, right? And I heard the price isn't very expensive. Do you want to try it tonight?"

"Not tonight, I heard the teachers have reserved the place..."

Merlin came to the construction site, looked around and woke up Scarlett who was sleeping. "Scarlett, don't sleep. Where's Stacey? Why can't I see her?"

Scarlett rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked at Merlin with a little disgust. "Why did you wake me up?" Scarlett muttered, her voice full of dissatisfaction. She tried to prop herself up and yawned, trying to drive away the sleepiness. The sunlight shone through the iron frame of the construction site onto her face, causing her to frown slightly.

Merlin didn't care about her attitude. He frowned slightly, looking a little anxious. "I'm looking for Stacy. She should be here today, but I didn't see her."

"Stacy seemed to be worried. She came here and then went back. Maybe she was not feeling well." Scarlett yawned.

What! You are not feeling well, that shouldn't happen. I still care about the health of my employees. How can they be slaves without a healthy body?

Especially his personal secretary Stacy. Without Stacy in charge, would Mixue Time’s profits be so good today?

Scarlett didn't know that Merlin was worried about issues related to his industry. She thought Merlin was concerned about Stacy, an employee. She couldn't help but look up to Merlin. After all, Scarlett was still being exploited. The debt she owed had accumulated to hundreds of gold coins, and this was when she didn't live in Merlin's villa.

Scarlett has been sleeping in the forest these days. She is not worried about the debt at all. After all, the freshman exam for the Warcraft Forest is coming soon. Some noble students have already hired her as a bodyguard at a high price. As long as she gets the money, she can pay off the debt.

"Let's go back to Stacey's dormitory and check on her. If she's really feeling sick, I have a lot of healing potions on hand. If that doesn't work, I'll hire a priest from the Church of Light to give her some psychological counseling. As for the cost of the potions and the priest, I'll deduct it from Stacey's salary. I'm such a considerate and good boss." When Merlin was thinking this in his heart, he suddenly felt someone patting him on the back twice.

Merlin turned around and saw a figure with many bandages wrapped around his body. He saw the girl in front of him was stunned for a moment and then asked, "Ice and Fire Princess?"

"Pfft, what Ice and Fire Princess? Just call me Senior."

Yuna couldn't help laughing when she heard Merlin's address. She bent over with her hands behind her back, staring at Merlin's face with her fiery red eyes. She showed a playful smile and praised, "Junior Merlin, I have to say, you are really handsome. I have seen many men's faces, but none of them is like yours, like the brightest star in the night sky."

Merlin blushed a little at Yuna's praise. He turned his head away and didn't dare to look directly at the Ice and Fire Princess, trying to hide his embarrassment. "Thank you for the compliment, Princess."

Yuna smiled even more brightly, with a mischievous gleam in her fiery red eyes, "In fact, we met when we were children, at a court party in the Imperial Palace. You were the center of attention at the time, and there were many girls surrounding you when you were a child." There was a hint of teasing in her tone, as if she was deliberately teasing Merlin.

As an old noble family of the Dawn Empire, the Leo family had been invited to royal dinners quite a few times, but Merlin didn't really have many memories of this. When he was a child, Merlin only felt that the girls around him were annoying, like annoying flies.

"So Princess Yuna, were you one of the girls around me at that time?"

Yuna was stunned for a moment when she heard Merlin's words, then she chuckled and said, "I thought so too at the time, but unfortunately, because of my status as a member of the royal family and my reservedness, I didn't have the opportunity to meet you. But now, the opportunity has come to me again."

Yuna naturally and gracefully extended her hand. "Clement Yuna, nice to meet you."

"Leo Merlin, it's my honor, Your Highness." Merlin held Yuna's hand, and the embarrassment in his heart disappeared, because he had realized that the girl in front of him was a princess, and behind her was the Dawn Empire. This was a gold mine waiting to be developed.

"I came here to look for my junior sister, Stacy. I heard that she usually stays here."

Merlin loosened his grip on Yuna's hand and said, "I'm sorry, Stacy is feeling unwell and has to go back to rest."

"That's a pity, but I'm also satisfied to make friends with my junior today." Yuna smiled and said in a low voice, "Of course, it would be even better if my junior didn't block my way..."

"Hmm? Senior, what did you say?" Merlin didn't hear the second half of Yuna's sentence.

Yuna waved her hand, "Nothing to say, junior, I'm leaving first."
