“What he said is so funny, isn’t it?” Diane laughed and looked at Leo.Leo, however, kept observing her with a neutral expression. “Why do you think it’s that funny?”“Because it’s extremely impractical,” Diane replied with confidence. “There’s a world of difference between a kind leader and a good leader. After all that Denver said, everybody will try to make use of his useless soft nature, and his organization will fall before its foundations are even built.”“You… don’t seem to know Denver that much despite being his ex-fiance,” Leo replied, making her slightly frown. “He’s not as soft as you think. He might have behaved like that in front of you, but he’s built his reputation on the blood of his own siblings before he started killing the enemies of his dad’s organization. It is definitely surprising that he’s talking like a different man now, but he’s not just going to forgive those who will take his good grace for granted.”“You sound like you’re thinking of tying up with him. Do

Inside the wooden dome.“Thank you for making this dome for us. We can use your techniques without worrying about being seen by others!”The five members of the special slave squad used their combined technique straight away.Each person’s technique eluded one of the five senses of the opponent, and so it was expected for the opponent to fail and suffer a deathly blow.Their combined technique started with a blinding light which nullified the effectiveness of Sheryl’s ocular skills.Even though her pupils drastically dilated to make up for the change, she still wasn’t able to see through the light and figure out what the opponents were up to.The intensity of the light only grew by the second, which also meant that the light was approaching her.But because of the perspective issues, she wasn’t able to tell that the source of the light was closing the distance.In response, Sheryl jumped back and closed her eyes.The strange wind blowing about also warped her sense of self.Aural bran

Denver sat down at Jim Draknor’s table.Catherine was sitting right next to him, and she asked, “Is it true that you own a restaurant?”“Yeah. Drake's restaurant.”“Oh, I think I visited that restaurant when I was a kid,” Catherine said. “My dad took us there. I remember the chicken piece being very juicy. It was my first time eating chicken with bones, so I didn’t forget that day.”“My dad knows how to marinate the meat well,” Jim replied, appearing a bit happy that his late father’s skills were acknowledged by a person from another state.“How many Michelin stars does your restaurant have?” Catherine asked.“I don’t try for the Michelin stars, as meeting the criteria is a bit annoying, but my restaurant holds two Michelin stars now.”“Wow, that means it’s a world class restaurant!” Catherine said and looked at Denver. “I think we should pay it a visit.”“If you want to visit, do inform us a day ahead,” Jim told them. “My wife and I will prepare the best dishes.”“Do you both run the

“If I get disheartened from your silly responses, I wouldn’t be Diane Palmer!”She walked over to Denver and Catherine with a decent smile on her face. She had put the makeup back on, so she looked very amicable now, at least on the surface.“Not even gonna say goodbye, are you, little sis?” Diane put her hand on Catherine’s shoulder.Catherine didn’t say anything, nor did she look happy right now.Diane was acting as if there was no discord between them, and Catherine didn’t like that.Catherine would never be able to act two-faced like her elder sister. If there was anger in her heart, then she’d either swallow it or show it, but she would never hide it.Catherine knew her sister more than Denver, so she didn’t fall for Diane’s bold act of trying to be friendly after everything that had happened.“Am I invisible or what?” Diane asked. “Why aren’t you talking to me?”Catherine still didn’t let out a word.“Fine. If that’s how you’re gonna play, then at least answer this question. Are

“He said he would help you, but I want to know exactly why the damned Soulripper clan is after you,” Sheryl was talking with Anatolia while eating meat. “And why haven’t they killed you yet? Considering their strength and influence, they’re more than capable of taking care of you.”Sheryl was extremely hungry as she hadn’t just fought against the special slave squad but also spent a lot of energy creating wooden clones for the locals of Rose Port, and she also took care of the security task on the shore to ensure no sea monsters would launch themselves onto the sea port.“If such a big clan is after you and hasn't killed you yet, then you must be holding onto something more than just wealth,” Sheryl said. “Is it a rare power? A system? Or something else? You should tell us if you want us to take all variables into consideration.”“Can you not both eat and talk at the same time?” Anatolia requested.“Okay,” Sheryl ate for the next two minutes and then took a little break from eating. “
