Chapter 492 Olivia’s Love Interest
Chapter 492 Olivia’s Love Interest
As the unmistakable sound of footsteps moved closer, Edith, surrounded by the crowd, finally slowly walked out of it.
She was wearing a bright deep sea blue colored tight dress. The elegant dress was gorgeously and meticulously made, precisely and perfectly outlining the beautiful curves in her body.
For many men, she was a stunning creature.
Her somewhat shallow smile and pretty face contained an unknown meaning behind it.
Her alluring gaze was blankly paused at Noah. Immediately, a shy smile surfaced on her angelic face.
Being the focus of the hottest girl in the hall undoubtedly caused everyone to shift their gaze over to Noah. When they eyed the gorgeous girl's extremely rare and strange emotion, some envy toward the young man rose in their hearts without them realizing it.
Ignoring those sharp knife-like gazes from his surroundings, Noah smiled at Edith, who was staring at him blankly. His smile was gentle, and the dark pupils were crystal clear as pure water.
Although Noah was wearing a mask to change his facial structure, Edith saw through the mask without a problem.
Emitting clear footsteps, Edith slowly walked toward Noah. A moment later, she stopped in front of him. Being closer to the man she loves, her face reddened in a flash, and she did not realize she was blushing.
"Kai, what a pleasant surprise?" she smiled, tilting her head. Since Noah was wearing the mask she gave him, she called him by a fake name instead of his real name, which would reveal his identity.
"And who is this little fella?"
She lifted her pretty face and greeted Norvin, who climbed onto Noah's shoulder with another smile.
"Miss Edith, I thought you were in Mazeroth," Noah greeted her back with a smile. Usually, he would address her by her name without any honorifics. However, Noah didn't call her 'Edith' in front of all the people who stared at Edith like wolves.
After Noah greeted Edith, there were a few moments of awkward silence between them. Either of them couldn't seem to find a word to continue the conversation.
"Get a room already" Looking at the interaction between Edith and Noah, Michael rolled his eyes. He was getting annoyed with Noah and Edith.
"Who is she?" Olivia elbowed Michael,
"I met her in Mazeroth. It seems she too got early holidays like me" Michael quietly said. He and Olivia stood way back from Noah and Edith. Hence the reason why Noah or Edith couldn't see him. He wanted to peacefully spend some time apart from all the Dark Lord stuff. But seeing Noah, Michael felt this trip would not be drama free.
"Do not fall in love with that guy" Michael leaned on the wall, folding his arms. Then he warned Olivia before she fell in love with Noah and ended up in his ever growing harem.
"What the hell are you talking about? I alrea-"
Michael was surprised. He turned his gaze from Edith to Olivia, who clicked her tongue, realizing she blurted out something she shouldn't have.
"You playa…" Michael poked her cheek with a grin. He got into a playful mood when he heard his student eyed someone. As long as it wasn't Noah, he would be happy for her.
"Its…its…" Olivia's face flushed red as he struggled to find the words,
"Ricky," Olivia finally uttered the name, shocking Michael.
"Ricky? You mean our Ricky?" Michael couldn't believe what he had just heard for a few moments. Olivia was a wealthy noble. On the contrary, Ricky was a commoner. As far as Michael learned about this world, marriage between a noble and a commoner was rare. He wondered if Olivia's father and mother would be okay with her decision.
"I wanted to talk to you about this, teacher. But I didn't get the right time,"
Olivia's face turned serious, revealing the concern in her heart.
Meanwhile, the people were still drooling at Edith instead of going with their life.
"I didn't get the chance to thank you Kai. Let me treat you to a meal. I know a really great place nearby" Edith pursed her sleek red lips and placed her hands behind her, leaning her body slightly forward as she faced Noah.
"Did you come here to buy something?"
"No shit" Norvin rolled his eyes after hearing her words. But, since she was so love struck, she overlooked the obvious.
"What star level are you?" asked Edith curiously without even giving Noah the time to answer her previous question.
"Just lucky enough to reach four star"
"Lucky? Ah, for an ordinary person, advancing from a one star to two star alchemist is impossible without at least five to six years of time. Yet, you have reached four star level in a couple of years. I'm afraid that is not mere luck." Eyeing the young man who revealed something shocking at every instance, Edith sighed helplessly. But soon, another youngster's image emerged in her mind.
Noah shook his head and smiled. However, he did not continue to pursue this question. Instead, his gaze swept across the hall, realizing that he and Edith had already become the center of attention. Immediately, he whispered, "are you still the supervisor here?"
"I am afraid so" Edith giggled, ignoring the hundreds of gazes on her. She was quite used to getting such attention. Fortunately, Edith was here alone. If she had come with Victoria, she was sure many youngsters would have fallen to the ground.
"Can we find a quiet place to talk?" Noah scanned the large crowd around him who had their ears lifted vertically and helplessly said.
"Of course, follow me." Edith smiled, nodding her head. She had just turned around when her gaze suddenly drifted to Alicia, who was behind Noah and leaning against a crystal counter while watching the items in boredom. After hesitating for a moment, she asked, "Is she with you?"
"Huh? Why? you two need some time alone?" Alicia was quite annoyed by how Edith and Noah acted in front of her. Still, she revealed a cold smile to tease Edith.
Being teased by Alicia in such a manner, a faint redness swarmed onto Edith's exquisite face. However, it was fortunate that she was extremely good at handling issues with human relations. She gave an immediate sweet smile and said, "Follow me miss"
"I hope whenever you're leading us to have something to eat. I'm starving," Norvin said as his stomach let out a growl.
"We have spent a long time hurrying on our journey here" Noah was embarrassed as he smiled at Edith. He wanted to punch Norvin in the face because he knew he made the sound intentionally.
"It's okay. Come one" Edith turned around and slowly walked toward a staircase in one corner of the hall. Her heels stepped on the shiny, clean, bluestone ground surface, emitting a 'click-clack' sound. Her elegant pace caused people to be unable not to fall into a deep longing for her.
Suddenly Edith stopped and looked at the far end of the hall,
"Something wrong?" Noah asked,
"No, it's just. Nothing. Let's go" Edith could swear she saw Ghost. But what were the odds of meeting him in the Ozer continent? She heard he had become the king of Bradford. Hence, she naturally thought she would be busy dealing with the kingdom. But, yet again, he was also a five-star alchemist, and almost every single alchemist would visit Ozer for the competition.
Just the thought of him gave her chills. For now, she shoved the thoughts back to the back of her mind and led them upstairs. At the end of the stairs, they saw a golden door flanked by two more armored guards.
Noticing the trio of man, woman, and a raccoon following behind Edith, the guards eyed each other. According to the rules, people who were not VIP members were usually not allowed to enter.
However, Edith was currently holding the post of supervisor. Her authority was quite great. At that moment, none of them dared to stop them. Only when the three of them were about to enter did a guard have no choice but to bite the bullet and take a step forward. However, before he could speak, Edith gave him a faint glance, which caused him to swallow the words in his throat. He smiled bitterly and stepped back.
"They are with me" Edith simply waved off the guards who quickly opened the doors for her. The hall they entered was no different than the downstairs, except there were only ten or twenty people in the hall.
They heard metal boots banging on the stairs just after entering the hall. Following the rumbling of footsteps, a few human figures slowly appeared at the bending corner of the stairs. The man who was leading them was around the same age as Noah. He was tall, lean, mean, and had two pointy ears, which indicates his elven race. His somewhat pale-white face was clearly a result of overindulgence in sensual pleasures. Although the build of the elf did not appear strong, he was actually a strong person who had just reached the Core Formation stage level 5.
"Shit," Edith mumbled under her breath as soon as she noticed the elf whose breathing just became slightly erratic. Additionally, he shamelessly rubbed his crotch while walking toward Edith.
Her gentle smile vanished and was replaced with a deep frown.
"Hee hee, Edith, this place is where Aqua clan conducts official business. Other people are not allowed to enter, but what I see here, other people"
The elf eyed Noah, Alicia, and Norvin for a second and then grimaced.
He didn't bother to hide the disgust and hatred he had towards other races from his pale face.
Watching the disgust in Edith's eyes, the young man's face immediately became much gloomier.
"They are with me. The rules clearly say I can bring my friends anywhere I want" Edith's cold voice did not give the other party any face. Afterward, Edith turned around and walked away from the elf and his group.
The elf's mouth twitched after being ignored by Edith in front of his subordinates. This was especially so when Edith grabbed Noah's hand for a second. An unknown jealous flame instantly rose in the elf's eyes.
Although Edith was usually full of smiles, warm and friendly, it was not a secret she hated him. To be honest, many girls in the Aqua clan hated him. Still, they had to put off his harassment and nonsense because of his status in the Aqua clan.
"Gangbang, is that your kink now?" Looking at Edith's back, the elf laughed.
Edith was expressionless and kept walking as though she had not heard the obscene words of the elf. However, Norvin noticed her nails had already viciously clawed into her palm.
Unlike Edith, Noah didn't remain calm. Instead, he halted his steps before grabbing Edith's hands. Then, he stepped in front of her, shielding her from the elf's disgusting look.
Boom!
Michael was talking to Olivia about her love life when suddenly something hit the ground after shattering the glass above them. As he looked down on the ground, Micahel saw the elf who went upstairs a few minutes ago, twitching and bleeding on the floor.
"Noah" Michael sighed,
