It was precisely because Loren’s fame had now reached an unprecedented height within the Federation!

That was why Sadia, who ran a private restaurant in the City of Canbera within the Beastkin Star Domain, could recognize Loren at a single glance!

And in response to the greetings and scrutiny of this strong man who called himself the “head chef” of the restaurant!

The five people slumped in the booth’s chairs instantly perked up!

The “Chef Sadia,” who had been wildly praised in that goblin magazine, was actually a Demigod-level powerhouse?!

Was this for real?! A Demigod working as a chef?!

No wonder those racist goblin bastards had hyped this restaurant to the heavens!!

The Star Realm was fucking insane! Totally nuts!!

“No need to be so tense, guests who’ve come from afar. I mean you no harm.”

Detecting the hidden wariness in Loren and his companions, Sadia spoke up first to clarify his intentions.

“I just came to see the ‘Federation Hero,’ the ‘Will Inheritor of the Nature Sect,’ the ‘Most Prodigious Young Hunter of the Interstellar Hunter Association in Nearly a Century,’ and the ‘Fatal Oversight of the Federation System’—all these titles that have been buzzing across the Federation Network today......”

After reciting the long string of monikers that Loren currently carried on the Federation Network with a smile on his face, Sadia swiftly pivoted his tone......

“And of course, I also came on behalf of a junior in my family. He just asked me to make sure I requested that Mr. Loren accept a remote interview with him.”

“It’s a rather presumptuous request. Mr. Loren, would you be willing?”

This Demigod-level powerhouse, disguised as an unremarkable head chef, looked at Loren, whose mouth was twitching slightly, with a somewhat embarrassed expression.

At that moment, Loren was frantically muttering curses in his head at the list of titles Sadia had just rattled off!!

Damn it! What kind of image had people been painting of me on the Federation Network during my time in the Beastkin Star Domain?!

“Forgive my bluntness, Mr. Sadia, which media outlet does your junior come from?” Loren asked, forcing a tired smile onto his face.

After saying that, Loren rose from his restaurant chair, extended his right hand toward the Demigod-level powerhouse disguised as a chef, lightly tipped his hat in a gesture, and said meaningfully:

“You know, my exclusive interviews aren’t cheap these days......”

Hearing Loren’s words, the man across from him, Sadia, flashed a grin that was pure, unadulterated arrogance.

The bright white teeth on display were enough to almost blind the eyes of everyone in the booth......

Then, Sadia glanced at the messy aftermath on the dining table and spoke slowly:

“To host this meal for you, Mr. Loren, and your friends, I specifically used some rather rare ingredients from magical beasts. Furthermore, the seasoning for a few of the dishes even came from the shallows of the Abyss......”

“Considering you all came here based on our reputation, I’ve waived the service fee and whatnot!”

“After tallying everything up, the total for this meal at the restaurant comes to 753,000 Spirit Stones......”

At this point, Sadia’s tone shifted once more!

“Of course, if you’re willing to accept the interview, Mr. Loren, then this entire meal is on me!”

“Oh, and I can also gift you and each of your friends a precious membership card. The kind that gives you a 70% discount.”

Hearing this, Loren’s mouth twitched again.

No wonder I felt the energy inside me increase slightly just now......

“For just 750,000 Spirit Stones, getting the chance to have my exclusive interview? Such a bargain isn’t exactly fair.”

Loren flatly refused the offer, his expression calm.

Clearly, Loren, who was loaded with a mountain of Spirit Stones, didn’t think the meal was that expensive!!

At least, not compared to the value of his exclusive interview......

Faced with Loren’s direct refusal, Sadia across from him chose not to give up. He smiled and shook his head.

“Don’t be so quick to refuse, Mr. Loren.”

“I know it’s quite presumptuous to ask you to accept a remote interview out of the blue like this.”

“But what if my junior had a pleasant interview with you several months ago?”

“Would you still refuse an interview from an old acquaintance, Mr. Loren?”

Loren was taken aback, looking at the Demigod-level powerhouse across from him, whose primary profession was a chef.

“An old acquaintance?”

Sadia nodded lightly.

“No one in our Beck family ever stays put. We all like to take on interesting jobs.”

“My name is Sadia Beck. I distanced myself from the family, came to the Beastkin Star Domain, and opened a private restaurant.”

“That junior of mine chose a similarly challenging career as a journalist.”

“His name is Oliver Beck. He told me that several months ago, he interviewed you in the Dusk Star Domain......”

Hearing that familiar name again after several months, Loren’s mind instinctively recalled that reporter......

He was a true journalist, with interviewing skills that were incredibly sharp!!

“Ten minutes to earn 1,000 Spirit Stones”—that had been the first time Loren learned making Spirit Stones could be so easy......

It had also indirectly shown Loren that there were opportunities to get rich everywhere in other star domains......

And that had certainly been the case. After leaving that rotten star, the speed at which Loren accumulated Spirit Stones had absolutely skyrocketed!!

Of course, it might also have been because, ever since leaving the Dusk Star Domain, Loren had been wrapping himself in a layer of “Fortune.”

That seemingly unremarkable Fifth Ability was actually the key factor that had propelled Loren into his high-speed development phase......

Being perpetually “lucky” was something akin to a miracle.

Even if that ‘Fortune’ wasn’t particularly strong......

But it was those countless, minuscule coincidences, those countless, clever misunderstandings, that had paved a smooth path for Loren all the way!

Praise be to Fortune!

“Mr. Oliver? Is he still working at the Stellar Daily?” Loren recalled various things about the man.

Seeing Loren’s tone relax, Sadia nodded with great joy.

“Yeah. He’s my nephew.”

“Although his situation isn’t great right now, he is indeed still working at the Stellar Daily as a staff reporter.”

“As for why his situation is bad, I think you understand better than I do, Mr. Loren......”

“That time, he offended too many people.”

“Thank goodness the ‘Freedom of Speech and Media Protection Act,’ along with the influence of the Beck family, are still protecting him......”

Hearing this, a sudden impulse arose in Loren’s heart to accept his interview.

A true journalist deserved to get their hands on newsworthy stories.

Then, Loren nodded gently at Sadia and spoke slowly:

“I’d be happy to accept Mr. Oliver’s interview. He’s a gentleman worthy of respect.”
