The Fate Of The World Is In My Hands, But All I Want To Do Is Eat! - Chapter 298

Chapter 298: I’m just a petty thief who was trying to get away Chapter 298: I’m just a petty thief who was trying to get away So, the event did not play according to how Diane played it out in her head.

What she expected when she leaped into the air with tightly shut eyes was liberation and pain, of course, when her body hit the ground, but what she got was…

An embrace.

The man who had spared no thought to catch her as she fell in his direction, had arms that were as warm and comfortable as freshly changed sheets.

It was so relaxing that she just might melt in his arms but she was a bit confused.

How and why did he catch her?

No, who was he?

“Hey, were you trying to kill yourself?” She heard his voice and quickly realized.

‘This isn’t…

Big Stach.’ Diane thought in realization and pursed her lips, feeling stupid that her nightmares got the better of her and made her hallucinate.

She slowly raised her gaze to look at the man who had caught her.

She thought his muscles would be very firm and hard to the touch, so hard that it would feel like they were lying on plywood, but it wasn’t.

Except for the slightly rough texture, his arms were freaking comfortable.

“Hey, are you…?” He spoke again and Diane raised her head again.

He looked scary but she could tell he was a bit uncomfortable with this setting.

She tilted his head.

“Wait, have you never held a girl in your arms?” She asked, directly hitting the nail on the head.

“Who are you to be asking me such a question?” He asked, turning his head away and confirming her suspicion.

“Please, have some decency and get down.” He said and Diane got curious.

She got so scared just after seeing his build that it reminded her of Big Stach and the horrible things he did to her once he got his hands on her, yet she ended up in this guy’s arms and could safely say that his arms were the most comfortable place she had ever been in.

His embrace, that is.

“How can I get down, though?

You’re the one holding me so tightly.” She said, and he looked at his arms firmly wrapped around her as though she were a bride.

Well, she wasn’t wrong.

For one thing, he was worried that if she fell, she could break, given how soft she felt, how light she weighed, and how delicate she looked.

But that smirk on her lip was far from delicate.

Still, he couldn’t gamble it.

He could tell she was not an awakened, so what she did just now, was it to get his attention, jumping out from her balcony.

She had faith that he could catch her?

That aside…

He glanced back at the house she had jumped out from and squinted his eyes in his shades.

And then back to her hair.

It was dyed black.

He could smell the dye, but part of it had started to fade, and he could see one part was slightly orange.

He was told that the girl he was there to pick up had two color bair.

One side was orange and the other was black, but she tends to dye the entire thing black.

“You must be Diane,” he said and Diane’s interiors shook.

Just what…

She slowly raised her gaze to meet his.

Her pupils trembled.

Who was he?

Why did he know her name?

Was he someone interested in her?

She subconsciously touched her hair.

The dye was already fading but she was sure the real color was still fairly hidden.

So, how did he know?

“Diane?” Diane looked up at him.

“Who’s that?” She asked.

First, she would try to play ignorant and get away.

This guy was probably dangerous and was there to kidnap her.

“I’m just a petty thief who was trying to get away with what I stole when you caught me in your arms.” She said but he did not say anything.

Instead, he raised his head as if waiting for something and said to her, “I don’t hear anything.” “What?” “If you were trying to get away with theft, shouldn’t someone be chasing you?” He asked.

“But right now, there is no single clamor or noise that indicates you stole anything.

I don’t believe you.” Diane’s lips curled up.

“Ah, so you’re a detective.” She teased but he shook his head and started walking towards the house.

“I don’t know why you lied but it would seem my motives are quite suspicious to you.

So, I’ll take you back to the house and then I’ll speak where everyone is present.” He said.

“That would suffice, I assume.” “Well, it…

It would, but…” She turned her gaze away.

Was he for real?

He was going to take her in like that?

But well, maybe this was better.

They say to keep your friends close and your enemies closer, right?

This way, he wouldn’t be able to sneak an attack on her without noticing.

But who was she kidding?

She was weak without the gauntlets, so how was she going to defend herself if he did plan to attack her?

She was powerless without it in a fight against an awakened.

Sure, she could do well on her own if she was facing normal people but not awakeneds.

She needed that extra boost.

The gauntlets that had been slightly smashed by Big Stach were repaired.

It took a lot to repair it, as she was told, but she was never told the exact amount.

Nevertheless, she was glad she got it back.

She might not be an Awakened, but with those gauntlets, she could go against B-class when it came to strength and even firepower.

This man walked into the house while bowing his head to avoid hiding the door frame.

The kids who were in the living room stared in surprise.

“Sis Diane, are you okay?” They rushed towards her.

“Did you get hurt?” Now, it felt a bit embarrassing, but she handled the situation like a pro.

“Oh, nonsense.

I’m just having this guy carry me because he seems doable.” She said but when they gazed at this man, they felt shivers and stepped back.

Sure, that was a natural reaction.

She also felt the same thing, after all.

“My name is Samson.” Samson went ahead to introduce himself without any words said and the people from the agency, all around the house, hurried out.

“Where is Williams?” “Ah, right here.” Williams, the butler who took care of everything that had to do with expenses in the house, stepped forward.

He looked at Diane in Samson’s arms and wondered if she caused trouble.

“It’s so nice to meet you, Guild master Samson.

What can I do for you?” He courteously asked with his back slightly arced.

Diane’s eyes widened and she turned to face this man.

“Guild master.” “I was given orders.” He said, shocking them.

Who was capable of giving guild master Samson orders?

Unless it was…

“The Chairman sent me.

I’ll be taking this one,” he looked down at her and reverted his words.

“I’ll be taking Diane with me.

She’ll be under my care till further notice.

So, get her things ready.

We’re leaving right now.” CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Author_fredah Okay, so that’s how they met, y’all.

As for how they ended up dating, we’ll find out some other time, hehe
