The supporting character's harem is very normal

Chapter 227 Sorry, I'm not interested

'If I could guess, I wouldn't have to ask you.' Lathel sighed.

Suddenly, he saw a gem store, and an interesting idea appeared in his heart.

"Let's enter this place."

Hearing Lathel's words, Laura looked ahead and saw that there was a gem store: "Hm... I don't have any need for jewellery, you..."

"Let's just go in and take a look." Lathel said smiling and pointed towards the gem store in the distance.

Seeing Lathel so excited, Laura suddenly smiled gently: "Uhm! I'll take a look."

As they entered the gem shop, a voice rang out: "Duke Lathel, it's an honour to meet you here, hahahaha…"

"Manager Kiin." Lathel saw a chubby middle-aged man constantly wiping his sweat with a towel and was surprised: "Why are you here?"

"Hahahaha… As I said before, most of the gem shops are managed by me." Kiin smiled and said, suddenly, he was startled when he saw the woman walking next to Lathel: "Captain Laura?!"

Laura smiled; she just nodded slightly, not saying anything more. Manager Kiin saw this and gave Lathel a thumbs up: "Duke Lathel, you... and captain Laura..."

Laura immediately hugged Lathel's arm, buried it between two large and soft mountains, and smiled gently: "He and I are dating."

"Woah!!!" Manager Kiin was so surprised that he opened his mouth and his eyes widened: "Duke Lathel, you... are so wonderful." From today, you are my God."

Lathel: "…"

"Okay, Manager Kiin, stop joking." Lathel shook her head and sighed: "I just want to visit a little."

"Hahaha… Duke Lathel, there isn't anything good here; you should follow me, there are much more valuable things on display inside." Manager Kiin quickly said: "Besides... there are things inside that I guarantee Captain Laura will definitely like."

"Actually, she and I just wanted to visit a little...."

"Lathel, let's go inside." Laura suddenly spoke up, interrupting Lathel's explanation.

He looked at Laura in confusion. Previously, she had said that she didn't like jewellery. So why would she change now?

However, he didn't ask much, so Laura hugged his arm and pulled him along with manager Kiin.

Entering the room inside, there weren't too many people here, but the people inside this room were all dressed extremely luxuriously, showing that they were all people of high status.

When they saw Lathel, they didn't pay too much attention, but when they saw Laura, they were immediately surprised and stared at him.

"Strange, who is that young man?"

"Looking at the badge on his chest, it seems like he is a Duke in this country."

"Since when has a Duke appeared in the Empire?"

"Maybe he is a magician adopted by another Duke."

"But… Why is Captain Laura holding his arm?"

"Could he be her boyfriend?"

"Don't say bad words. Captain Laura has never loved anyone before, and she won't love anyone in the future either."

"Why do you say so?"

"Don't you know anything? There was once a prince from a large kingdom who proposed to her, but she refused."

"What?! Did she refuse even the prince of a large kingdom? She's just the captain of an ordinary security team; why is she so arrogant?"

"Shh!! Do you want to die? She's not just the captain of an ordinary security team; do you know who she was before?"

"Who is she?"

"Cough!" Suddenly, Laura coughed loudly, silencing everyone. Her eyes swept over everyone standing in the room, making them worried and scared.

Lathel also felt that the atmosphere was strange, but this was Laura's personal information, so he didn't want to ask too much.

'When Lafien is completely free, I need to cut ties with her.'

Lathel thought of a beautiful scenario where he escapes from the heroines, has a life inside the wonderful magic academy, and gets to know other beautiful girls.

Manager Kiin wiped his sweat and quickly spoke up to break the oppressive atmosphere: "Hahaha... Duke Lathel, Captain Laura, this place contains high-end gems."

"It's great for making jewellery or for cultivating purposes."

Lathel glanced around. There were indeed many elemental stones on display here. He even saw two-colour and three-colour elemental stones on display.

However, the listed prices of those stones were written as '???' Which made him feel curious.

"Manager Kiin, why are those stones priced at '???' without any fixed price?"

"Hahaha… Duke Lathel, those stones are too valuable, I don't sell them, I just display them." Manager Kiin explained: "However, those stones will later appear in auctions. Only then will the value of those stones be maximised."

Hearing that, Lathel nodded, feeling that this was a good way to advertise and push the value of an item to its maximum.

Moreover, the value of those gems will increase if the auction manager knows how to take advantage of the Fomo effect.

"However… hehehe…" Manager Kiin suddenly showed the greedy smile of a merchant, making Lathel feel nervous.

"Sorry, Manager Kiin, I have no plans to buy those stones." Lathel hastily explained, quelling manager Kiin's newly-

appearing intention.

"Ack! You misunderstood…" Manager Kiin replied: "I have no intention of selling it to you, however… Duke Lathel, do you see that tri-coloured elemental stone over there?"

Lathel looked in the direction of Manager Kiin's finger, and he saw a three-coloured elemental stone of blue, white, and red mixed together, forming a work of nature's art.

"That is…"

"It's a Rank C tri-colour elemental stone. That stone has an extremely high value. If put up for auction, I'm afraid its value will surpass 100 million gold coins, or even higher. "

Manager Kiin explained.

"Actually… that stone does not belong to me, a mysterious person deposited it at my place. However, he did not send it to this store to auction it off and increase its value."

"Heh?! So why did he send that stone here?" Lathel frowned and asked.

Manager Kiin sighed: "Ten years ago, that person sent this stone here with only one request, which was to find someone who could turn this stone into the most beautiful shape."

"If anyone can do it, this stone belongs to that person."

Lathel frowned. He felt that this request was extremely strange, but he suddenly discovered that... this was most likely an event for the male protagonist.

He rubbed his chin, feeling that this situation was very likely to happen. If his guess is correct, Alec will sculpt this stone into the most beautiful shape.

From that stone, an extremely wonderful item or something that can help Alec develop his power to a new level will appear.

Later, Alec will accidentally meet that mysterious person again, and he will find out that he is a powerful existence..etc...

It was an old motif; even if he closed his eyes, he could guess what would happen next.

Lathel immediately refused: "Sorry, I'm not interested in this."

Manager Kiin heard that and continued: "It's okay, Duke Lathel, it's normal if you don't know how to sculpt. I know a friend, he is a sculptor..."

"Sorry, Manager Kiin, I don't care about that stone anymore." Lathel immediately interrupted Manager Kiin's words.

Manager Kiin forced a smile: "Hahahaha… it's okay, I understand. So... Duke Lathel can visit as he pleases, and if he feels like anything, he can tell me. Of course, your Super Super Super Vip form is still in effect."

"Thank you, Manager Kiin." After Lathel finished speaking, manager Kiin immediately left.

"Why didn't you try your luck with that stone?" Laura asked curiously.

"Me? I'm not interested in it. Besides... the person who delivered the stone is still a mystery, I'm afraid there is some kind of trap inside."

"Oh! You are really suspicious…"

Lathel shook his head: "No, I just don't want to get into any more trouble."

"You talk as if I'm a problem too, right?"

"Ack! That's not what I meant."

"So… what do you mean?"

"I never thought you were trouble."

When Laura heard this, she glanced at Lathel, her eyes looking straight into his. After a while, she let go of his hand, nodded, and said: "You lied."

Lathel: "…"

'So can you see that I'm lying? Strange, am I showing it that clearly?'

Lathel thought to himself; he didn't believe that Laura could read his thoughts.

'Maybe she's just sulking.'

He sighed and said, "Sorry, but I really don't think you're a problem."

"So… what do you think of me?" Laura tilted her head and asked, her eyes made him feel like two swords were about to pierce his heart.

"Hm… a girl with a strong personality, straightforward, loves justice… and… a bit violent."

"Ah! It seems you don't like women like me." Laura nodded and said: "That's right, after all, guys like gentle and weak women who always shake their butts left and right on the street."

Lathel: "…"

Laura smiled disdainfully: "Those girls are really weak, they can only rely on men to survive and become toys for entertainment."

"Most of them can survive on their own, and they can even do better than men and be more talented than men."

"But in the end, their mindset limits them to a cage, and very few people can escape that cage."

Hearing that, Lathel frowned. He shook his head and said: "I only partially agree with you."

"Hm?! Do you also consider women objects?" Laura glanced at Lathel, and her terrifying murderous intent burst out.

The people around them shivered and quickly left the room. Lathel also felt the terrible, murderous aura surrounding his body, and he was frightened.

He tried to calm down and said: "You misunderstood me, I have never looked down on women."
