Chapter 64: CHAPTER 64 – Dealing with Luna.

"What do you want?"

This was all Luna could say as she knew that there was no escaping the situation and she had to listen to the demands of her opponent.

All of this happened just because of her underestimating the opponent or maybe having too much confidence in her ability, but she knew it was what it was, and nothing would change by regretting her decisions.

Thus, she decided to face it head-on.

"Hm? What do you mean by 'What do you want?'?" Alex looked at Luna with his head tilted to the left and his legs still hanging down Alice's desk.

"I am askin-" Luna was about to say something, but Alex continued his words as if he didn't hear Luna talking.

"Weren't you the one that came to us saying that you would discuss things about what happened in the Auction house?

You were the one who said that you were coming to hand us things that we brought along with the credit points that our items earned.

You are also the one that attacked our guild master out of nowhere and who knows what your intentions were. If we didn't arrive in time, you might as well have killed our guild master so this case can be seen as an assassination attempt as well.

Think of how the public would react if they knew that the Association that is responsible for their protection is actually trying to kill one of the people who protect them wholeheartedly.

Then there is the fact about your ability that by chance got recorded-" This time Alex's words were cut off by Luna's irritated voice.

"As I said, what do you want?" Luna knew that Alex was just trying to show her just how many things were at stake right now while trying to increase the pressure on her.

Although those words did increase the pressure on Luna, what they did most was irritate her as Alex kept mentioning her mistakes and it was one of the things she hated.

She cut Alex off in his last sentence because she knew what he was trying to say and she didn't want to hear that as it would just make Alex, Alice, and Ann gain a stronger position than they already had in this negotiation/ discussion.

Luna knew that she made some mistakes, she knew she underestimated her enemy and many other things, but she still had her pride and if someone intentionally pointed out those things, of course, she would get irritated.

"Well, that's up to the guild master to decide, I guess."

Alex shrugged, stood up from the desk, and moved toward the sofa placed in the office.

It's an ability that lets Noctura decrease her presence if she walks in someone's shadow and it works better if she has the permission of the said person.

For example: She can stand in the shadow of a tree in the midst of a crowd and most of the people would walk away without noticing her even when she is so cute that normally anyone would stop to pat her at least.

That's what she was doing for a while as she kept walking in Alex's shadow and as she had his permission, she was able to blend in his shadow better.

However, just like any ability, this one is also not without weakness. If someone is looking at you the moment you use 'Eclipse Walk' then you would be visible to the said person even if you used the skill.

Then there is also the case where you were touched by someone. Your presence would automatically noticed if you were to be accidentally touched by someone.

The last situation was where you did something that would cause people to notice your presence.

For example: There are four people in a room talking to each other and you are hiding in the shadow at the corner, then you suddenly decide to get out of the room while staying in the shadows.

But it is when you open the door to leave the attention of every person in the room is attracted towards the door, automatically making your presence known.

That is why her presence was only noticed by Alice, Ann, and Luna when Alex picked her up.

Alex continued to play with Noctura while listening to the deal being made. He didn't plan to interfere, but he still stayed here just in case as he knew that there were chances of Luna trying to attack them again in an attempt to destroy the evidence.

Just like that the discussion continued and, in the end, Luna had to agree to the conditions given by Alice and Ann, although she was unwilling to do so.
