The Fate Of The World Is In My Hands, But All I Want To Do Is Eat! - Chapter 357

Chapter 357: Relax, have I ever given you any irrational advice?
Meanwhile, Elizabeth Hart had returned to her house where she lived with her butler and then, she received a call from her father, who was still in England.

“My darling daughter, I heard what happened,” Mr Hart flared. “Don’t worry, I will not let anyone who dared to humiliate my daughter get away with it.”

“Daddy, she was so horrible. She was a demon.” Elizabeth wailed. “There was no way she was that powerful. I’m sure of it, she was using artifacts and items to double her strength just so she could humiliate me. And do you know?” She sniffed. “They asked me to apologize to her.”

For someone who usually acted cold and indifferent outside the house, Elizabeth liked to suck up to her father in order to get him to do whatever she wanted.

Only by acting pitiful in front of him would she get his full support and when she was mad, he would do whatever he could to appease her.

This time, she had no idea why her father had to send her to America. Sure, there were more talented people here than in other countries and they had the largest number of S-class awakeneds, but it didn’t mean this was the best place.

Even when she refused, her father begged her to just go ahead with this saying he would reward her afterwards, but she was humiliated instead.

She could still feel the chills of the murderous aura charged at her. It was so terrifying.

“D-daddy,” she called. “Can I just come home?”

Mr Hart went silent. He wanted his daughter to be back too but…

Suddenly, a voice whispered in his ear and he shut his eyes, his forehead creasing.

“Just for a while longer, darling.” He said. “In fact, I’ll come over tomorrow so that you don’t get lonely and I’ll bring someone with me. Someone who will teach that brat a lesson.”

“Really, Daddy?” Elizabeth cleaned her eyes, looking excited.

“Yes, of course. Has Daddy ever lied to you?”

“Then, I will wait for you, Daddy. Come quick, okay? Bye.” She cut the call and her eyes fell dark.

She was the type who paid grudges and resentment tenfold of what had been done to her, so she would definitely get back at Alice. She chose to believe that Alice might’ve used a cheat skill to make her look so terrifying but she wasn’t all that.

And that show the trainers put up, she was sure it was all an act. Everything was an act to humiliate her and pull her down.

She was the chosen one so she would not let their petty tricks get the better of her.

“Ludwig,” she called for her butler. “I’m going to the training room to train.”

“Yes, my lady. I’ll accompany you.” Ludwig, her butler, responded with a bow and she huffed proudly.

She was sure that country bumpkin nobody didn’t even have a butler catering to her needs. She was so poor.

(I believe Alice’s a trillionaire, but let’s not tell them that yet)

Mr Hart, on the other side of the line in England, closed his eyes for a while and then said,

“You said it was a good idea to send my daughter to America.” He said, his interlocked fingers digging deep into his skin. “So, what’s this? Why did she suffer humiliation from a nobody?!” He yelled and turned to the man sitting on his window.

He had red glowing eyes and a mischievous smirk on his lips.

His skin looked cracked on the left side of his cheek.

“Relax, have I ever given you any irrational advice?” The red-eyed man by the window asked him, and Mr Hart looked away.

“I admit that selling your product has added exponentially to my riches but that doesn’t mean I can entrust the safety of my daughter to your bright mind.” Mr Hart said. “And also, we suffered great losses thanks to the incident that happened in the Devil’s shrine.”

As Micheal had said, the devil’s shrine was accessed by everyone around the world, and that auction happened to be the place Mr. Hart had been supplying miracle potions with a supplier to this man who had introduced him.

They all had a sickly and ominous air around them. Who was he and where did they come from? He had no idea and he found nothing when he tried to look into them. But he was warned not to look into them anymore. If not, there would be consequences.

Mr Hart just wanted to be sure he wasn’t sent by any of his competitors who wanted to screw him over. So, once he was sure he was completely on his side, he decided to trust his words.

Whoever or whatever he was, he didn’t care. The fact that he was benefiting heavily with his help made everything else irrelevant.

But now… That business plan had gone up in smoke because they could not even sell the miracle potions openly.

How the miracle potions were made, he had no idea but all he saw was the benefit.

“I think you’re making a mistake here,” the man with red eyes said, “You’re not the one who suffered losses. I did.” He said, his voice slithering like a serpent. “I create those potions and send my own man as the supplier. All you did was make the introductions and send a few of your men to make sure the profit was ‘secured’. I lost a valuable worker but you just lost a few of your disposable men. So,” he tilted his head. “…I’d say that I lost more than you did. But do you see me complaining?” His lips once again curled up sinisterly. “I’m just offering the best of my advice,”

Mr Hart gulped. So, the best advice was to transfer his daughter to America to attend some regular school? He couldn’t even tell what he was planning.

“How about this?” The red-eyed man raised his hand. “Since your daughter ran into a bit of trouble, why don’t I personally go to her and act as her ‘bodyguard’?” The words made Mr Hart’s eye twitch. “But I’ll be disguised as a normal student so I can stick next to her at all times but I assure you, with me by her side,” his eyes brimming with a certain flaming desire. “…the same thing will not repeat itself.”

Mr Hart gulped once more. Yes, this man was incredibly skilled, but was it the right thing to let him be near his daughter?

“Think about it,” A voice spoke in his ear. “With someone as skilled as me next to your daughter, she will never suffer such humiliations again. No one can harm her. She is, after all,” the voice got even closer. “…the chosen one.”

The decision was up to Mr Hart but with the voice of a devil whispering sweetly and slithering in his ear, he couldn’t even make the decision for himself.

“Fine,” he answered. “You’ll come with me to America tomorrow so get prepared. I am… Putting my daughter in your hands so please, do not let me down.”

“Of course, I would never want anything to happen to the chosen one.” The red-eyed man said and watched Mr Hart stand to his feet and leave the study. ‘The chosen one that will help us bring this world to ruins, there is no way I will take her lightly. I will…’ he raised his hand and watched his fingers spark in a shade of dark red. ‘…make sure nothing happens to her.’

(And the plot thickens. I wonder what’ll happen next. I haven’t thought that far, lol. Let’s continue)

Back to Alice’s side of the story…

Alice had already fallen asleep but Leo was still seated in the living room. He could simply get back into her mind to recharge, but he decided to wait for Mark in case he needed help with the cooking.

(When did you two become so close?)

And as such, he let Alice sleep even on an empty stomach. Maybe sleep was what she needed right now to get her mind off the feelings that were frustrating her.

‘She said she’s been having dreams,’ Leo thought. ‘Probably horrifying flashbacks of her past and that’s why she feels so restless. What do I do about this?’

He knew the only way to appease Alice was to feed her till she was about to burst, but they couldn’t even do that in this house because neither of them was a professional, and it would be very time-consuming.

At this point… He could only get her something that would suit her taste buds completely.

‘Where can I get monster meat?’ he wondered.

Yes, he did promise her that the next time they went into a dungeon, he would use the monster they caught to feed her. But since he needed to lift her spirit now, he could only use this as the next best thing.

The person who would be capable of getting him monster meat at this point would be… Devon.
