Chapter 103

“Disarm?”

Puzzled, Noah lowered her gaze and scanned her body. There was nothing like a weapon on her but, there was a little dragon wrapped around the hem of her dress, hugging her legs tightly.

Instinctively overwhelmed by the cold gaze from Muel’s red eyes, Penelope’s hand that was holding the gun trembled.

“Hmm…”

Noah unconsciously touched her chin with her index finger. Penelope’s gun was not pointing at her, but it was obvious that a vital area would be targeted immediately if Noah made any suspicious movements.

Muel noticed her feelings and the air that surrounded them shook sharply.

Jiiiiing.

Muel’s grip tightened on Noah’s leg, and he shot Penelope a fierce look.

“Get out of Noah’s sight!!”

“Muel, you have to speak respectfully to adults.”

While Noah pressed down on her throbbing temple, she patiently engaged in the education of the little dragon’s manners. Muel pouted and changed his tone.

“Move out of Noah’s way” he spoke in a more gentle tone.

Although she flinched noticeably, Penelope did not back down. Noah was a little impressed by her calm attitude.

The energy that Muel intentionally released into the air was the mana closest to the origin of all beings in the world.

To be able to remain calm under the pressure of his power, a person must have a level of courage. Of course, she is a subordinate to that boss.

“I checked, Penelope.”

Kyle stepped forward and pressed Penelope’s arm down.

“I guarantee it’s safe.”

“But boss, your opponent…”

Penelope reluctantly stepped back, but she still glared at Noah and Muel with suspicious eyes.

“No matter how much you guarantee it, you have to cuff her at least. How many times have you been stabbed in the back by her? It wasn’t once or twice!”

“Penelope, stop.”

“If you don’t arrest her right now, the minister won’t let it slide.”

Noah was lost in thought as she listened to their conversation.

I don’t want to cause trouble.

In fact, the scariest thing wasn’t the mischievous little dragon, who didn’t know when and where to go, nor the beautiful investigator in front of her eyes, nor was it Laurent’s high-level executives that she will face in the future.

Noah was scared of herself the most. To be specific, her ability to barely suppress the absolute and surreal mana of the dragon.

‘If I stepped on the weak spot of a bridge, will it collapse somewhere?’ Noah fell in thoughts 

Crackkkk

As if to confirm her thoughts, a crack appeared where she was standing.

The argument between Kyle and Penelope was interrupted.

Dozens of pairs of eyes looked toward Noah’s feet at the same time.

“…….”

‘No way.’

As Noah looked at them with a smile, pieces of wood that had just been part of the bridge under her feet, fell.

“So …”

Kyle spoke to Noah with a tired face.

“Don’t provoke Penelope.”

“…….”

“Also Penelope, you are not allowed to lay a finger on Eleonora Asil’s body.”

Kyle’s words created a big knock-on effect. The attitude of the investigators, who were ready to risk their lives to arrest Noah at any moment, changed 180 degrees.

‘They think I’m going to turn what I touch, step on, and even the air into ash…’

Sadly, it was true.

When they moved down the bridge and headed to the Investigation Security Agency vehicle, Kyle whispered while he held Noah’s arm.

“Don’t think about anything, Noah. Please, empty your head. If you act like the god of destruction, I can’t side with you.”

“That’s not what I want. My head is aching. Ugh.”

The sky suddenly became dark as if to pour heavy rain when it was hot before. Noah freaked out when she looked at the dark sky and begged for it to clear up again. Then the sky cleared up, as if the previous dark sky was a lie. It was only natural that the view of the investigators that followed her silently was blurred.

In the end, Kyle suggested a solution.

“Hand Muel over to me because if you’re physically away from the main culprit, the reaction might calm down.”

Was that so? Noah gave Muel to Kyle half-heartedly. He clung to Kyle without much trouble, Kyle was a familiar person that he had hugged several times. Still, it’s a relief that there’s at least one person he has bonded to besides herself.

Noah knew that, but she felt a little awkward as she watched Muel proudly place Kyle’s hand on the top of his head and making him stroke it.

‘…It seems like Mu is treating that man like a butler too.’

Muel closed his eyes, enjoying the feeling of Kyle stroking his head, and Kyle, who held him in a very natural way, looked almost like a butler or a babysitter.

Noah sincerely apologized to Kyle and got into the car that was heading to the Bureau of Investigation and Security Department.
