The Fate Of The World Is In My Hands, But All I Want To Do Is Eat! - Chapter 60

Chapter 60: It was the second door after Alice’s Chapter 60: It was the second door after Alice’s Two things could make Devon break his calmness and become hostile.

One was if he felt the safety of an individual or individuals were at risk and the other was the act of hypocrisy.

Devon carried Alice into the building they had pulled up to.

They were heading for Mark’s apartment.

“You’re both going to stay under one roof?” Devon asked and Mark looked back at him.

“Do you think she’s going to stay alone?

She’s a minor.” Mark pointed out and Devon nodded.

He knew Alice was handed to him as her guardian by the chairman but he just didn’t realize that they would be staying together.

She was a minor, yes, but…

He looked down at her sleeping in his arms.

She looked nothing like a minor after walking out of that dungeon.

No, he shook his head, he shouldn’t think strange thoughts.

The jailer had pure intentions.

Mark noticed Devon shaking his head from the side and wondered what he was thinking of.

He was acting weird.

He thought Devon was at least normal among all the crazy S-class awakeneds but maybe it was because they never crossed paths that he did not know.

He had his own type of crazy.

They took the elevator till they got to the floor his apartment was in.

He put in the passcode and opened the door.

The house was spacious.

Very spacious, in fact.

There was a staircase leading to the top floor where all the rooms were.

It didn’t look like a place where one person lived alone.

“You stay alone?” Devon asked and Mark nodded.

Though there used to be someone else, she moved out a year ago.

So, it was just him.

“Come.

She can use this room.” He walked up the stairs and instead of walking up the stairs with Alice in his arms, he simply teleported and appeared at the top of the stairs.

Mark looked at him with indifferent eyes and asked, “I thought you were saving up mana.” “Using this little won’t exhaust me.” He said and Mark walked past him, heading to the first room door.

He opened it and showed the pink room that used to be occupied by another female.

And he had been maintaining it daily – not because he was expecting her to come back since he knew she would never come back – because he didn’t want the room to be abandoned.

There were three other rooms in his apartment.

One was a training room that he hardly ever used, another was empty, a guest room that had never accommodated any guest since he had no friends, and the last was his room.

It was the second door after Alice’s.

“Wow, it’s almost like you prepared for her arrival in advance.” Devon said, walking in.

That was partially true.

Yes, he cleaned up the room regularly so it wouldn’t gather dust but it wasn’t frequent.

But ever since he started getting fond of Alice, he decided to clean up the room properly and even added female clothing to his shopping list when he went out to the mall twice a week.

(He’s not a creep ಡ  Íœ   Ê–   à²¡) He had no hidden or evil intentions behind it.

He just wanted her to be comfortable if she ever agreed to come live with him.

He was hoping that after Alice got free from the label of criminal, he would try to convince her to come live with him.

Not for anything personal but because she didn’t have a home and…

He happened to have a spare room that she could use.

So…

He had it at the back of his mind but he never thought the opportunity to ask her would actually come.

And it did.

He didn’t even need to ask her.

It was granted to him naturally by the chairman of N.A.A.

Was it pity he felt for Alice?

No, he was sure that it wasn’t pity he felt.

She was far from a pitiful existence so he could never feel pity for her.

Maybe he did when he started getting to know her but her image in his mind was that of a strong individual who could break through walls that people would naturally climb over.

He watched Devon try to put Alice down but she suddenly wrapped her arms around him, not wanting to let go.

And her strength couldn’t be messed with.

“Miss Alice, you have to let go.” He said, but she squeezed tighter.

Just what in the world was she thinking for her to hold on so tightly?

Unknowingly to them, Alice was hugging a big piece of chicken leg in her dream.

It was the size of a grown human.

And of course, she didn’t want to let go.

Mark’s forehead creased, clearly jealous.

So, he decided to give Devon a hand.

He held Alice’s hand and tried to pull them away from Devon but her grip was too strong.

Just what in the world…?

‘I bet a hundred bucks she’s hugging fried Chicken in her dream.’ he thought.

No one could tear her away from her fried chicken.

Well, he had to think of another tactic.

“Can’t you teleport out of her arms?” He asked and Devon remembered he had teleportation abilities.

“Ah, of course.” And with that, he teleported out of her hands.

Mark immediately tucked a pillow in Alice’s arms and she fell into the bed, snuggling on the pillow and smiling to herself while muttering, “Fried chicken tastes the best.” Of course, it was fried chicken and nothing else.

Devon watched her as she slept.

She looked so peaceful and innocent.

He wanted to watch her a bit longer but he did not want to impose longer.

“I guess I’ll take my leave now.” He said.

“But I will visit from time to time.” “Why?” Mark asked and Devon paused.

He looked at Mark and smirked.

“Why, I am also a competitor.

I can’t let anyone else have her under my watch.” His words made Mark misunderstand.

But luckily, he added the other part of his statement right after.

“I am a guild master.

I also want to have an extraordinary awakened in my guild.” Mark gave out a silent sigh of relief, causing Devon to wonder about the reason for his sigh.

“Then, I’ll see you out.” Mark said but Devon shook his head and said, “No need.

I’ll see myself out.” With that, he disappeared.

Once he was gone, Mark walked towards the bed and sat down.

He looked at Alice sleeping soundly and gave out yet another sigh of relief.

He was more than glad that she was okay.

He had worried for her a lot but she knew just how to handle herself even when she wasn’t there.

He was also glad he could be of help when she needed it.

He wasn’t…

Useless, after all.

‘I should probably wake her to take a bath.’ he thought but seeing how she slept, he shook his head.

‘I guess I’ll just let her sleep a bit more.

She deserves it.’ He swiped her hair behind her ear and stared a bit more.

She was so much prettier after coming out of the dungeon.

Her distinct features had become pronounced.

Ah well, it was time to walk away and maybe go grocery shopping since his fridge was empty but…

He just couldn’t tear his eyes off her.

And then he realized it.

He slapped his hand and looked at it, trembling.

What in the world was he doing?

CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Author_fredah Ahem, age is just a number.

But don’t worry.

She’ll be an official adult soon And then, you can…

nothing.

I didn’t say nothing
