The Fate Of The World Is In My Hands, But All I Want To Do Is Eat! - Chapter 134

Chapter 134: This doesn’t mean I like him, right?

Chapter 134: This doesn’t mean I like him, right?

Micheal was still contemplating leaving Alice alone while she went into that dangerous place.

Sure, she could take care of herself.

She was so powerful.

And she wasn’t here to buy anything, so she wouldn’t get scammed but…

She was still immature and a girl.

Men had their eyes out for any living being with curves, even though they couldn’t see their faces.

Should he just go with her first?

But if he did, he would miss the product to fix his mask and today happened to be the day it was available.

What luck.

He would find her as soon as she was done.

“And Miss Alice,” “Just Alice.” She said.

“So many people are calling me Miss these days and it’s starting to get annoying.

So, just call me Alice.” “Very well.

I have no complaints there.” He said and swiftly pulled her into his arms, hugging her.

“What are you…?” She wanted to push him off but he dropped his hand behind her head and stroked gently, saying, “Just stay still.

I want to tell you something very important, so listen closely.” He whispered.

“Yeah, I get it.

But why in this position?

It’s…

Awkward.” She said but had her heart racing for some reason.

It was a hug.

A very light hug while he stroked the back of her head.

“Haha, I know but just bear with me.” He said.

“Don’t ever take off your mask.” He glanced at a few guys who were secretly watching them.

“If there is a reason why you have to take it off, find something else to cover your face.

You must not reveal your face in front of anyone here.

Do you understand?” Alice didn’t know if to listen to him or her beating heart.

Honestly, she was already finding it hard to listen to him since her heart was getting in the way.

But she got the gist of it.

It was mandatory not to show her face.

“Alright,” she said, and if her face was on display, she was sure he would’ve seen her slightly flushed face from being overwhelmed.

She had no idea her ear was equally flushed and he saw it clearly.

“Now, be a good girl.” He patted her hair and took his hand off while breaking the hug.

“If anything comes up, call me.

The cell phone reception is quite good.

And there’s also a free wifi connection.” “For real?” “Yeah, but do not connect unless you want all your phone details leaked.” He said and she paused.

He could’ve said that earlier.

She sighed and he brushed her hair once more.

“I’ll get going.” He said and finally broke their connection.

That is, he released her hand and disappeared into the crowd.

Alice stood there, feeling a sudden rush of…

loneliness?

It was odd.

She looked at her hand.

It wasn’t as sweaty as she thought it would be but…

Holding his hand for so long made her a bit nostalgic.

She didn’t feel anything when they held hands but she did feel rather comforted when he hugged her, haha.

She felt warm and her racing heart made her awkward.

‘This doesn’t mean I like him, right?’ *What do you think?

He held your hand, hugged you, and patted your head.

What did that make you feel?* Leo asked and she thought back.

‘I don’t know.

I just felt warm.

Maybe I’m just getting familiar with him.’ she thought and clenched her hand into a fist.

‘Anyway, enough of that.

It’s time to get to business.’ But the thought lingered at the back of her head.

Leo may not recognize him from her past life but maybe he was one of the guys she fell for.

If that’s true, then she could only blame past feelings for her racing heart, and if she held any fancy with him, then it was because of that.

Yes, that was how she was going to handle every single beat that went off track.

“Let’s just go.” She started marching towards the pagoda.

She wasn’t going to think of matters of the heart.

Those were feelings she fostered in her past life that she was currently rewriting.

So, she didn’t have to walk in the same steps in the romance department.

“Huff!” She stopped in her tracks as she sighed and looked up.

Just when she said she didn’t want to think about it, she ended up thinking about it.

*Instead of fighting it, just embrace it.* Leo suggested but she lashed out at him.

‘Shut it!’ She walked straight towards the pagoda.

There were a lot of side stalls on the way to the pagoda.

There were mats spread on the floor with antiques as well as artifacts being displayed, and their price tags…

Alice’s eyes shot out.

This was daytime robbery.

How could a simple necklace be worth a million dollars?

She couldn’t feel any single energy from it.

It was definitely an ordinary necklace.

“Young lady, would you like to purchase a fine accessory?” The owner of the stall, a masked man who sounded like he was in his fifties, asked, but she got up, shaking her head.

“No thanks.

I’d rather throw my money at the homeless than spend it buying this.” She said, doing her best not to insult the products and end up creating unnecessary trouble.

“But you are headed for the four pagoda’s auction house.” He said, as if hinting at something, and she paused.

She could see him staring at her chest.

No, he was staring at the dark button tag, and she looked at his, which seemed dull, compared to hers.

“Yeah, what about it?” “If you have money to spend there, then won’t you be able to spare a little bit of accessories?

Even if it’s cheap compared to what you usually spend.” He said, trying to access her but could not get anything from her.

Alice didn’t quite get where he was spewing his words from but she did realize one thing.

She looked towards the pagoda.

The people who attended that auction must be fully loaded.

Well, it was time to give those loaded punks a dose of their own medicine.

Every one.

Every single last one of them dealing in this shady business of buying and selling demon blood…

They would all fall into her hands.

And she would find its source no matter what.
