"Hm? What are you doing?" Owling frowned when he noticed Aiden reaching for his pocket just as he wanted to commence his round of interrogation."I kind of have a cold, so.." Aiden gave an excuse as he popped ten Blood Pills into his mouth."That many?" Owling frowned.He had an inkling that Aiden's actions had suspicious motives, however he just shrugged it anyways as him just being Overly—Vigilant.—[You have received +100 Blood Drachmas]—[100 Blood Drachmas has been deducted to Counter Hypnotic skill]"Alright. What School do you attend?" he continued with his round of questioning.After asking Aiden three more random questions, he went straight to the the point."What were you doing yesterday after the end of school hours?"'Here it comes!' Aiden's heart skipped a bit.However he forced himself to remain as calm as possible. If his guess was right, he was supposed to be under the effects of the other party's Hypnosis.Although he didn't know how this was made possible since he di

Kelvin stared at Aiden in surprise. He was quite confident in the strength of his subordinate, yet this dude before him easily took care of him.Not just him, even the two bouncers has no choice but to look at Aiden in a different light."Hmph. You Bastard! What do you think you are doing?!" Kelvin snorted in anger as he pointed at Aiden before pointing towards his subordinate who was on the red carpet floor."How dare you touch my subordinate huh?!""Are you insane or something?" Aiden stared at the other party like he was looking at a lunatic."He attacked me first. What just happened was self defense""Hmph" Kelvin harrumphed coldly."That's because you were blocking my path forward. He was just acting under my command. You attacking him makes it obvious that you don't put me in your eyes""And why do I have to do that? Who the hell do you think you are anyways?" Now Aiden was mad and fed up with the other party's attitude.Fetching out the invitation card, he tossed it at the firs

Aiden spent the rest of the day practicing with Butler Nicholas. Just like the latter instructed, he usually used the Klypt Gauntlets anytime he attacked. The goal was to become familiar with the gauntlets, like they were not just weapons but an extension of his limbs. Time flew by and soon, the sky began to slowly get dark "Because of your training, we missed lunch" the Butler shook his head as he glanced at Aiden who was panting heavily, the Klypt Gauntlets wrapped around his both hands. Since he was aiming to comprehend Weapon Force, he refrained from using any skills, opting for only ordinary slashes and swipes. "You are too damn strong, I can't believe that I wasn't able to land a strike on you, no matter how much I tried" Aiden shook his head as he sent the Gauntlets back into the System's In-built Inventory. "Did you make any progress?" Butler Nicholas asked. "No. But I feel like today's training wasn't a waste.." Aiden shook his head. "Very good. At least you are not

"No more bets!" The Dealer suddenly announced as he began spinning the roulette wheel before tossing the ball in. All the gamblers held their breaths as they watched the wheel spin, each silently praying for the ball to stop at the number or group of numbers they choose. Spin. Spin. Spin. Time seemed to have slowed down as all eyes were on the spinning wheel. Pulock. It finally stopped spinning. However when all the gamblers saw the number it fell on, their eyes bulged in shock. "Number 1! It stopped at number 1!" a gambler sucked in a deep breath as he cast an envious but surprised look at Raya. — So lucky! The Dealer placed the puke on number 1. Removing the other chips on the roulette table, he handed Raya a cash note. "Once you are ready to leave the casino, head over to the cashier to receive your cash" "Hmph. To think you'd be so lucky" Laybron snorted with displeasure. "Heh. I told you I am the Queen of Roulette" Raya grinned as she tucked in the cash note into the c

Tap. Tap. Tap. Sounds of rapid footsteps echoed out loud as two figures walked down a long winding hallway. One of them was a middle aged man in English suit and well trimmed beards, who had the appearance of a refined tycoon and mogul. Walking besides him was a young lady in a silk blouse and office skirt reaching barely past her thighs. She had curly blonde locks and fiery red lipstick on her lips. "Say Sir. Bart, you appear very tired. Perhaps, I should give you a little massage while we are on the Raiver back to Fenris City?" the lady asked the middle aged man identified as Sir. Bart, with a coquettish tone. "Tch. I'm just too pissed off that's all. Although I won't miss out on your massage, my dear Elle. How can I say no to your magic-like fingers. "Heh. So, how was the 3rd degree Council?" the lady whose name was Elle asked. "Tch. My qualifications to become a Baron was revoked " Sir Bart replied with a scowl as he seemed to have recalled an unpleasant memory. "It was
