Chapter 43: Misunderstanding.

Felix had seen many girls and women in his previous life, of course on the internet, who could make people adore and love them without any effort. But he knew the secret behind all their beauty was a single thing; makeup.

If it were not for that deceptive and misleading material, then he could swear most of those beauties were nothing more than ugly swans.

In the current situation, on the other hand, he couldn't process his mind to even describe how otherwordly the girl infront of him was.

His red eyes stared unblinkingly at her as any other man would have done which she was already used to.

The girl seemed to have finally lost her temper at the boy who had accidentally hit her and also continued to compliment her.

Puffing her cheeks, she balled up her cute fist into a ball and punched him right into his stomach.

"Oof-"

The boy who was out of touch with reality was dumbfounded at the sudden attack which hit him with a force that didn't do her dainty arms any justice.

Felix finally broke from his dreamy behavior as he bent down and held his hurtful stomach.

"Hmmphh! That's what you get for acting stupid."

When the girl saw the boy whom she hit was kneeling on the floor, she smiled victoriously and harrumphed softly before walking away with her stylish gait as her purple ponytail hopped with her steps.

For her, even though the boy looked handsome and mysterious with his silver hair, she had enough of these men who always complimented her and fawned over her.

That was why whenever someone looked at her with a passionate gaze and told her she looked beautiful, her first reaction would be to kick him or punch him almost knocking them out.

While she walked away from the scene, Felix still held his stomach but gazed back at her as he cursed in a low voice.

"That bitch- To think she would punch me just because I complimented her."

His tone was resentful as that was only the second time he had ever praised a woman in his life with his first time being Miss Elsa when she kind of forced him to compliment her.

He shook his head as he decided not to curse some mental lady who must have been going through her special days.

"Maybe it was my mistake when I suddenly praised her, but goddamn I've never seen someone as gorgeous as her."

Trying to get a last glance at her, his tone was impressed despite getting a strong hit on his guts.

He nodded and thanked them with a smile.

"Yes, thanks for these. I'll be sure to come here again."

Seeing the handsome boy leave, the worker turned back and ran to the manager's side.

"Manager, are you sure that boy was related to her?"

The manager, an old man with lush black hair rubbed his stylish moustache and nodded as his eyes gleamed.

"I'm very much sure of that. Did you not hear the both of them talk when she left our store? And even if he's not someone related to her, we couldn't be more cautious unless we want to invite a whole top guild to reason with us."

He shuddered at the mere thought of angering the girl who had come to look around for some clothes but didn't come to like any of their best products.

From what he had heard and seen, that girl was not someone a person like him could even talk to. Belonging to one of the strongest guilds in the city, she could destroy their store's whole existence if she was ever dissatisfied with their service.

So even if the chances of that boy being related to her were none, he wouldn't take such a risk for the safety of his life and subordinates.

Unaware of the misunderstanding that had profited him, Felix carried the bunch of bags with a happy smile on his face and walked back to the guild under the awestruck gazes of the public at his stunning look.

His mood was jolly as his steps hopped cheerfully having done shopping that didn't cost him a tahl.

"That manager sure was a good guy for giving me these free clothes. Maybe I should bring Noah and the others the next time."

Smiling on the whole way back to the guild building which he had managed to remember without getting lost, Felix entered the gates and walked to the door.

Showing his card, he swaggered inside in new clothes and a bunch of colorful bags as the big door opened.

Abruptly, he felt a lot of gazes looming over him the moment he entered.

Many guild members were gathered in the reception hall while surrounding the desk in a circle, but what made him stunned was the amount of bloodlust and pressure they were releasing.

It seemed the situation was serious as no one had a smile on their face except for a dumbfounded bags-carrying silver-haired boy.

'Huh? What the hell happened here?'
