Chapter 221 Pretense Failed
Aston City Airport Terminal.
"Finally back home," Alice said while stretching out her body. Her actions seem to have shown her perfect curves under the tight fitting of her clothes.
Although Shin knew that Alice's body wasn't fully developed yet. It seems, under his tireless effort every night, there's been improvement in certain areas.
'I really want to try doing with her in her queen transformation.' Just thinking of that scene, Shin's eyes became hot and there was a lasciviousness smile on his face.
Alice seemed to have noticed the change in Shin's expression. But she wasn't disgusted. Instead, a satisfied grin appeared on her face as she looked at him even more provocatively.
'Hehe, it seems Shin can't hold himself back looking at my figure.' She laughed inwardly as a mischievous smirk appeared on her beautiful face. Suddenly, her confidence in her figure soared tremendously. She tried showing her figure even more, but forget attracting his attention. Her walk became more awkward.
If only she knew, Shin was getting excited thinking of doing with her in her transformation state. She might really want to beat him up or do something naughty.
Witnessing her strange actions, Shin asked strangely, "Alice, are your legs not comfortable?"
'This shouldn't be, though. We didn't even do it today. And she was fine before, so there should be no injury.' Shin contemplated with a thoughtful expression. But still couldn't think of a reason.
When Alice heard Shin's question, her face reddened in embarrassment. But there was some dissatisfaction in her heart.
'Let's deal with you later.' With a snort, she immediately straightened her posture and started walking normally.
Seeing this, Shin was even more confused. 'What's wrong with her?' As he couldn't figure it out. He decided to not entangle in this matter.
Emily was walking right behind Shin and Alice. Her expression was rather unbearable. 'Why do I have to watch their nonsense?'
Aurora, on the other hand, didn't think much about Shin and Alice's conversation. Rather, her eyes were glued to Shin's back. Sometime later.
*Gulp*
She swallowed her saliva and thought, 'How did his vitality increase suddenly?'
Because of her Blood Warlock ability, Aurora was certain Shin's vitality had improved a lot. This made her shocked and unbelievable for a moment. She didn't know Shin had a Vitality stat which he could continue to increase. At first, she had considered that he had great vitality naturally, but this time, she clearly felt something was wrong.
'Can he continue to increase his vitality?'
As soon as this inexplicable idea appeared in her mind. Aurora shook her head. 'No, no, it can't be.'
But the facts said otherwise.
'D-Does that mean... his blood... will become... EVEN MORE DELICIOUS?!!'
As soon as that thought came across her mind, Aurora's emerald eyes glimmered in anticipation. If she could, she really wanted to taste it right now. Unfortunately, she can't do that. Their relationship is not certain yet. There's also a chance that they might become enemies by tomorrow. Moreover, she had already drunk his blood three times because of the continuous battles.
This time she didn't have any reason prepared to let Shin agree. Thereby, her mind was constantly thinking of several excuses for Shin to let her drink his blood.
Emily didn't know about Aurora's struggle. If she knew, she might have been a little angry at her master for trying to monopolize such a rare delicacy— blood. Maybe the rarest.
Eddie and his mother, Julie, were in a pretty good mood. Mainly Julie.
"Fufu~ Youngsters~" Julie let out a soft laugh.
After Shin's help, Julie's condition improved a lot, and she could finally overcome the trauma of her husband's death.
Hence, her emotions and personality weren't dull and lifeless like before. Her soulless eyes had some brilliance in them. But physically, she was still weak and in poor health. They all knew with time she will automatically recover. So no one was worried.
This was the day Eddie was the happiest since his father's death. Finally, his mother's condition was stable.
His eyes were full of gratitude as he glanced at Shin's back. Although he didn't know what method Shin used, but he was certain that it was because of him that his mother's condition improved.
He decided to work hard in the future as a member of the Astros guild to repay this debt of gratitude.
While everyone was still in their thoughts. Suddenly Shin's footsteps stopped and so did others, wondering what happened. Aurora, Alice, and Emily were showing confused faces, but it didn't take long before they changed their expressions and immediately looked in a certain direction.
Following their gazes, Eddie and Julie also looked in the same direction. All their eyes fell on a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and wrinkles on his forehead approaching their direction.
As he walked, he carried a certain momentum. The momentum of a trained veteran warrior. The strong confidence he exudes and his tall and muscular body wasn't hidden under his formal attire.
His eyes were like that of a fierce beast who was trying to hold back his wild nature.
Looking at him, Shin's lips curled up in interest. Because he had been using Mind Control to let the people around them treat them as ordinary passersby. But looking at this middle-aged man, it seems his mental strength was very strong.
"Magic Eyes."
Shin immediately activated his skill and found some basic information about this person.
'This guy is strong.' But this thought made him wonder what the other party wants for himself or if is he was targeting someone else?
'Whatever it may be, I can get a lot of benefits from him.'
While he was still in his thoughts, the middle-aged man already walked up to them and stopped. Without saying anything, he just stood there.
When Shin saw his actions, he laugh inwardly.
'Haha, what is this guy doing? Is he trying to pretend to be a big shot?
Shin knew the other party was just trying to put pressure on them to take the initiative of the future talk in his hands. 'But he didn't even reveal his identity. What makes him think people will give him a face because he looks like some veteran?'
But when he glanced at Eddie and Julie, he knew they were somewhat affected by this act. But Shin didn't like this stalemate act. When the other party didn't do anything, he also didn't want to bother.
Completely acting oblivious to his act, Shin just went past him. So did Alice, Aurora, and Emily. Eddie and Julie were a little nervous but also gained some confidence when they were close to Shin and the others.
Seeing that he was completely ignored, the middle-aged man's expression became extremely dark.
His female Secretary beside him sighed and said. "Sir, it seems this time your act didn't work."
Hearing this, his face twitched and his expression became even more ugly.
"Savior Squad, or should I call you members of Astros Guild?!" He said in a deep voice.
His voice wasn't loud, but his every word was heavy and contained a certain momentum.
Shin's footsteps stopped and so did the others. There was a grin on his face. As he also decided to pretend.
He turned his head solemnly and asked with a serious expression.
"Who are you?"
When the middle-aged man heard this, his ugly expression disappeared. He was inwardly delighted and continued to exude a strong aura.
"Jackson Martin, President of the Aston City Awakened Association."
When Jackson said this, he also released his fierce aura. Even his secretary felt this and her pupils palpitated.
Eddie and Julie were frightened. But the others were looking at him blankly. They had killed a terrifying Baron rank demon and killed an army of demons and monsters. Faces the terrifying pressure of elves. What makes this old man believe that his little act will do any good?
[Guys, please don't laugh.]
Shin immediately sent this transmission before any of the girls starts laughing.
All of them bit their lips, trying to put on a serious expression.
When Emily heard Shin's transmission, she was barely holding her back. She immediately turned around, trying to suppress her laughter.
Seeing her trembling back, Jackson was pretty satisfied, thinking his pressure made her nervous or even scared.
"Shin Wolner and Alice Kayden. The leaders of the Astros Guild and also the members of Savior Squad."
Of course, he found this information in the association's database. As for Aurora and Emily, he didn't know about them as they weren't registered with the association.
A playful smile appeared on Shin's face as he said, acting oblivious. "So what? We know our identity very well, so what are trying to say?"
When Jackson heard this, he was a little taken aback. Yeah, what was he doing revealing their identities? Isn't it just to create a strong front for himself? Why doesn't it seem to work?
The female secretary walked up to him and whispered. "Sir, I think we may need to change our strategy."
Shin obviously heard this with his Enhanced Senses, but he pretended to act oblivious.
Jackson hesitated, but agreed a moment later. It seems his secretary's suggestion was quite reasonable.
His normal strategy doesn't seem to work here.
