The Fate Of The World Is In My Hands, But All I Want To Do Is Eat! - Chapter 43

Chapter 43: He knew that feeling Chapter 43: He knew that feeling “Then, let’s hurry up and leave.

You’re gonna drive me there, right?” Alice asked but a voice suddenly came up from a short distance.

“There will be no need for that.” Someone said, and they both turned to find a group of black-suited men approaching, in front of them was also a guy in a black suit, tall and a little skinny compared to the muscular men behind him, and with a pair of spectacles resting on his nose bridge.

He had slick white hair, a polished expression, and a professional stance that made anyone guess that he was quite good at his job, whatever that was.

“Who’s this guy?” Alice asked, no one in particular and he pushed up the rim of his glasses, going ahead to introduce himself, “My name is Alfred, and I work under N.A.A.,” he said, but Alice looked completely oblivious to what that is, pissing Alfred as he went ahead to state the full meaning of N.A.A.

“National Awakeneds Association.” He said and she nodded.

“Oh, I knew that.” She said and Alfred’s left eye twitched.

Yet, he did not let it get to him and continued.

“Miss Alice, you-” “Oh, he knows my name.” Alice whispered, interrupting him.

“Ahem!” He cleared his throat and continued.

“Your presence is being requested at the N.A.A board where all of its leaders will be present and you-” “Ooh, is there going to be a party?” She once again interrupted him and his left eye once again twitched.

“I know I saved the world but you guys don’t need to go that far.

I mean, I wouldn’t mind but…” “There is no party!” He snapped and she clicked her tongue.

“Tch, there’s not been a party.

You, sir,” she pointed at him.

“…need to complete your sentence in one go and don’t get us guessing blindly.” She folded her arms.

“Right, boss?” “Uh, Miss Alice,” Mark called.

“I think you should just listen to what he has to say and not interrupt him any further.” He said and she looked at him.

“Did I interrupt him?

I didn’t notice.” She said and turned to look at him, observing him keenly.

“Hm, maybe it’s because he’s talking so slowly.” Mark shook his head and hoped Alice would not make an enemy out of the emissary of N.A.A.

“Are you done?” Alfred asked, his professionalism slowly cracking.

Mark watched this and closed his eyes.

He knew that feeling.

Alice was really good at blindly breaking a person’s composure.

“Oh, right.

Right.” Alice said.

“Please, continue.” Alfred let out a sigh and pushed up the rim of his glasses.

This girl in front of him was suddenly summoned by the council of N.A.A and it was said that she cleared that gate…

His eyes traveled to the gate that had suddenly sealed itself, allowing no entry, and then traveled back to her…

And she did it single-handedly.

How believable was that?

They got the call just half an hour ago so it mustn’t have been long since she walked out of the gate.

He read her files while heading here.

She was 17 years old with only a middle school record, no records of her getting into high school or getting out of it either.

So she was an uneducated bum.

No wonder she was so mannerless.

But her picture was a bit different from the way she appears in person.

Was it taken a few years ago or something?

Even if that was the case…

The clip of her clearing a red gate previously was no more than two months ago and comparing their visuals…

It was like she had a sudden growth sprout that made her look more like a woman than a teenager.

‘I still can’t believe that this mannerless bum cleared a gate of such intensity by herself.’ he thought.

‘There must be a secret.’ “What are you staring at?” Alice suddenly asked him, showing the least bit of respect to someone who might’ve probably been older than her by 10 years.

“What?” He asked as he snapped out of his thoughts.

“You keep staring.” She said and tilted her hips to the side, dropping her hand on it.

“And it’s not even my face.” She said and looked down at where his eyes were fixed.

Since the coat she was wearing was unbuttoned, the little piece of clothing barely holding her breasts together and keeping them hidden was on display, and so was her flat and smooth stomach.

Her eyebrows furrowed and she asked, “Are you a pervert by chance?” “What?

Pervert?

What are you…?” “Sir Alfred,” one of the guards that accompanied him called and whispered in his ear.

“I understand she looks appealing but you must focus and not let your desires get the best of you.” Alfred went red with both anger and embarrassment.

“I said it’s not it.” He yelled in frustration.

Then, his left hand caught on fire, and his right hand became frosty.

“Oooh,” she exclaimed and her right eye emanated its usually blue flames as it did when she activated her third eye.

She scanned him properly and found two properties that seemed to be his awakened powers.

‘So, he can control fire and ice.

That’s so sweet.

He’s a rare talent.’ she thought.

*And that rare talent is going to freeze you and then burn you to a crisp for making fun of him.* Leo pointed out and truly, Alfred was getting ready to attack her.

‘But it’s true though.’ she thought.

‘His eyes were fixed on my boobs the whole time.’ *He was simply lost in thoughts.* ‘Hey, whose side are you on?’ Alice folded her arms.

*Sigh.

It’s from one problem to another.

At this rate, you won’t get to rest or have any of the food you were planning to have.* He reminded her and she snapped.

She hammered her fist on her palm.

“Oh, right.” She exclaimed, and Mark turned to her, wondering if she was going to apologize, but then she said, “I almost forgot I’m still hungry.” He palmed his face.

“Ah, what am I doing?” Alfred asked and they both turned to him.

The fire in his hand went off and the frost disappeared as well.

‘I lost my composure over something so little and deliberate.

Could it be that…?’ his eyes glanced from left to right and then back to her.

‘…

I’m being tested?’ He adjusted his tie and cleared his throat, “It seems I displayed a rather unsightly appearance.” He said and Alice wondered what gave him a change of heart all of a sudden.

“You were trying to test me, weren’t you?” “Who?

Me?” She pointed at herself, confused.

“Yes, you must’ve wanted to confirm if we were really from N.A.A.

I apologize for my lack of conduct.” He said and tucked his hand in his coat pocket, bringing out his ID.

“Here’s my identification card.” One of the guards took it and went to show Alice.

She looked at it with squinted eyes and seriously, she couldn’t tell what was going on.

“Uh, sure.” She said and handed it back to him.

“Now, would you kindly come with us?” He smiled, professionally.
