The Fate Of The World Is In My Hands, But All I Want To Do Is Eat! - Chapter 271

Chapter 271: Pardon my rudeness Chapter 271: Pardon my rudeness “If you just wanted to see me, I think it would’ve been more effective if you pretended to be Marcus who’s pretending to be the principal over there.” Alice pointed out and Noah’s eyes widened.

“Wait, what?” He turned to the principal who chuckled and said, “Impressive, Miss Alice.” His face gradually faded out, exposing his true face to be that of Marcus.

“How did you see through my illusion?” Alice flicked her finger and said, “Illusion or not, your mana and aura can never be covered up by an illusion.

After all, it’s being used when you use that technique, right?

Maybe you should work on that.” She said, dropping her chin on her palm.

“You’d be an excellent assassin that way.” “Thank you for the tip but I have no plans of becoming an assassin.” Marcus answered, getting up from the principal’s seat, and went to stand behind Adolf as he usually would.

He perked up his glasses.

“Now,” Alice turned to Noah standing in front of her.

“Do you still want to tell me that you came here ‘just’ to see me?” Noah was stunned.

He did not even know the principal had been Marcus.

Why did he not question it?

The Chairman never went anywhere without his assistant, so why was he alone this time?

He might’ve brushed it off because they were in a school, one place his enemies would never think to find him.

So, Marcus had pretended to be the principal all along and he did not notice it?

He suddenly started laughing.

How pathetic was that?

Alice watched him as he laughed, and she turned to Adolf, who held this proud grin on his face.

She turned to the others.

They were dumbstruck.

Was she that great?

Well, she didn’t know.

She just pointed out what she noticed.

Did she use her head?

Maybe she did but it didn’t feel like it.

She didn’t have a headache or find things too complicated to start thinking deeply.

*Good job.* She heard Leo in her head and turned to him to find him with a neutral expression and folded arms but there was a thumbs up on one of those folded arms.

She saw it and blushed.

Was he praising her?

Wow, she was feeling hot-headed all of a sudden?

“Pardon my rudeness.” Noah said, bringing her attention back to him.

“Allow me to introduce myself properly.” He bent his body forward, taking her hand and kissing it.

“My name is Noah, I don’t have a last name.

And I am the leader of the Awakened agency.

Pleased to make your acquaintance.” As soon as he introduced himself, Clarissa staggered back.

Amira, who was behind her, held her and asked, “Are you okay?” But Clarissa just had the shock of her life.

How was it that Alice was able to attract all these powerful figures?

Was she really that strong?

And what she did just now, she just found two hidden figures in the room without much effort.

Who was Alice after all?

She might just be too far from her reach, and defeating her looked like an impossible feat at this point.

She couldn’t comprehend any of it.

First, the association chairman and then it was the leader of the agency, all bending their heads towards her.

She was jealous.

“You,” Alice called, and Noah thought this was the point where Alice would fawn over his title, but her eyes grew dark as she said, “So, you’re the leader of that rotten place?” Her words shocked them but she snapped out of it and shook her head.

“Ah, sorry.

I lost my mind for a second.

Let me rephrase that.” She said.

“So, you’re the leader of that rotten place?” “That’s no different from what you just said.” Noah pointed out and she folded her arms.

“So?

What about it?

I have a few beefs to settle with the agency, but I decided to forget about it after you helped my people.” She said.

“But it doesn’t change the fact that it’s a rotten place.” “Alice,” Clarissa yelled at her.

“Watch your mouth.” Alice turned to her.

What was she yapping about?

“Just because you’re being favored right now doesn’t give you the right to say whatever you feel like saying.

How can you speak to the leader of the agency like that?” She yelled and Alice tilted her head.

Alice didn’t know if she was just trying to get attention with her words or if she had a reason for stating those facts.

“Do you know how much the agency does for the common people and look out for the awakeneds?

It’s because of them we have the kind of equipment and study materials we have in this school.

You might be privileged but don’t talk about the agency like that.

It’s an insult to us common people.” Clarissa expected others to back up her words.

If no one, then Miss Stella should’ve said something but why…

Why were they all looking at her like she didn’t know what she was saying?

Was she the crazy one?

But the crazy one was Alice, who insulted the agency right to the leader’s face, wasn’t it?

Their gaze was mixed with scrutiny and pity.

“Clarissa,” Miss Stella wanted to speak, but Alice shook her head, getting up from her chair and walking towards her.

“Tell me, Clarissa, can you remember what you ate this time last year?” She asked.

“It’s five o’clock right now, so let’s say, what did you have for dinner this time last year?” “What…

What are you asking me?” Clarissa asked, suddenly feeling uneasy.

“Just answer me.

No harm done, k?” “How…

how am I supposed to know what I ate this time last year?” Clarissa asked, taking a step back, sweat dripping down her forehead.

“Then, what about two years ago?” “I said I don’t know what I ate last year so how am I supposed to know about two years ago?” Clarissa yelled at her.

“Hm?

Guess it’s been too long.

Then, what about six months ago.

You’d certainly know what you ate then, right?

That’s like, six months ago.” Her eyes widened, scaring Clarissa.

She looked crazy.

Why was she asking when such questions?

It was creeping her out.

And why was no one saying anything?

Why were they allowing her to do whatever she wanted?

“What are you doing?” She asked.

“Why are you asking me this?” “It’s because I can remember the years so clearly, and as for what I ate…

Nothing.

I didn’t have anything to eat this time last year or two years ago for that matter.” CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Author_fredah Okay, Alice is about to drop a sad past speech
