Chapter 591 The Gala Incident [Pt 5]

Felicia felt slightly displeased at the moment.

As she stared at Rey, whose entire demeanor was nothing like what she remembered—if she could even remember much, to begin with.

He was an overall average individual, with no particularly striking quality. The only burst of fame—or rather, infamy—that he had was when he revealed his lousy Skill and Class, which garnered the mockery of everyone in class. New novel chapters are published on

In retrospect, Felicia could see that he had somehow lied, but back then everyone wrote him off.

'Yet he managed to become the most powerful of them, and he's even changed his physical appearance...' She eyed him unconsciously.

Not only was Rey much taller than before, but he actually looked a lot more handsome than she remembered.

Perhaps it was due to his eyepatch, or the dark strands of hair that cascaded down his face, creating a mask of mystery. Perhaps his nice build, coupled with all the aforementioned factors, played a role in it.

She could no longer call him average in that sense any longer.

'Looks like Cayden was right. Everything about him is so different now.'

While she approached him to witness the change with her very eyes, also expecting the possibility that she would be caught by him, Felicia hadn't realized it would be this much.

Narrowing her eyes, she decided to set those thoughts aside and answer Rey's question.

"Just wanted to see you. I heard you stepped up in the social ladder and you're all buddy buddy with the Royal Council. I guess I wanted to see for myself."

"And? Now that you've seen me, is that all?"

The way Rey rolled his eyes and stared at her, as if completely bored, made Felicia even more infuriated.

'If we were back on Earth, he wouldn't even dare look at my face!'

Of course, she recognized that wasn't the case. She also knew that Rey was most definitely stronger than she was—so it was unwise to cause unnecessary conflict.

Starting a fight she couldn't win would be foolish of her.

'But... there is more than one way to ensnare a man.' With a wide grin on her face, she began to walk salaciously and drew closer to Rey.

"Well... you tell me..." In no time at all, she was just an inch away from his stiff body.

"Why don't we go upstairs for a dance?"

Rey's cold gaze still reflected non/compliance. The way he stared at her, almost like she was nothing, drove her to the edge of rage.

But Felicia didn't give into it.

After all, it was about time for her to use her Skill.

'C-could it be... Dragons?!'

Several guards began to proceed into the hall from all sides, just as the civilians exited.

Felicia wondered what guards could do if some monstrosity showed up.

'What the hell? Why now?'

Felicia found her body trembling slightly. What was happening before her eyes was a chaotic sight, one that would normally cause anxiety.

However, once she stole one look at Rey—expecting some sort of reaction or explanation from him—she was met with the most surprising thing.

'He's calm?!'

Her bulging eyes fully analyzed Rey, watching as he kept one hand in his pocket and the other on his glass cup.

"Hmm..." A near silent voice echoed from his slightly parted lips.

His eye narrowed slightly, and some sort of glow seemed entrapped within it.

'Why is he just standing there? Won't he—?'

~VWUSH~

Before Felicia could complete her thought process, she found the entire scenery around her change—faster than even the blink of an eye.

She was no longer in the garden, but was instead seated on the pristine floor of the currently chaotic Gala Hall.

How she transitioned so fast to this location could only be explained by the one standing in front of her; but his attention was on the incident that kickstarted the chaos.

'W-what's that?' Felicia's eyes captured the scene as she trembled slightly.

'Who... is that?!'
