Julius was still inside the eting room, along with people like Delio and other trustworthy n in charge of managing the capital of Kepala.
They were in the middle of a serious discussion, concerning the budgets necessary to cover the damages caused by that incident.
They were also discussing the potential existence of a spy, and consequently, how to tighten internal security.
The damages were considerable, and there were a lot of issues with the family of the guests who lost their loved ones.
The discussion was at its most crucial point when soone knocked at the door, for the second ti.
Knock! Knock!
Julius had already ordered the guards to not let anyone in unless it was sothing extrely urgent.
Because of that, all of the people inside the room turned their attention to the door when soone knocked.
Julius had no other choice but to ask what happened, so he let the person beyond the door enter the room. "You can co in."
After Julius said these words, a bunch of people entered the room, with arrogant and haughty looks on their faces.
They didn't care about the people that were present inside the room and just started their business as if they own the whole place
These were known as hunters. It was true that hunters were important people, but so of them were just too arrogant.
Among all of the five hunters hunter who entered the room, one person, in particular, walked in front of the others.
A man, in his twenties, had brown hair and a handso face. His full-body armor looked expensive and was probably made of rare materials.
He inspected the room, and then looked at Julius. "Sorry to bother you, but I want the Lord of Kepalta to summon his son here, at this mont. He needs to be educated."
Julius frowned at the hunter's words. "I understand that you are a hunter. However, I would like you to provide valid reasons for why I should summon my son."
Julius was already on the edge, and these people were telling him that his son needed to be publicly educated. It was more than unpleasant, to say the least.
Still, the hunter didn't even care about Julius's reaction. "Reasons? My words alone are enough, but if you want a reason, then it's because he acted like a fool. We almost failed to close the portal due to his unwanted intervention."
Julius' eyes widened at the man's word. "What?
"This is a serious matter. I suggest you listen to and it will end here." The man continued. A threat was mixed in his words.
Julius quickly understood what was going on. These people didn't care about the planet and its inhabitants at all.
They were there for the rits, but it looks like Adam did sothing that displeased them.
Julius sighed. "Guard. Please bring my son here." He wanted to avoid more trouble.
After that, the guard left the room and went to look for Adam. During that ti, the other hunters arrogantly sat on the chairs that were at the other end of the long table.
They were chatting among themselves, ignoring the other people inside the room as if they didn't exist.
Julius and the other n kept their calm and composure. They were mature enough to read between the lines. Just a look at Julius's face and the other n of Kepalta understood his intentions.
A few minutes after that, Adam was entered arrived.
Adam looked more manly than usual, and his face looked peaceful. "Did you summon , father?"
Julius was surprised yet again after seeing how much his son changed in just a few hours. "Yes, these people want to exchange so words with you."
Adam looked around the room and saw the five hunters. "I understand, but why now?" He didn't even care about these people. Adam also had many things going on inside his mind.
"Hey kid," said the brown-haired hunter. "Don't you have sothing to say to us?"
Adam looked at this man not impressed or nervous in the slightest. "Hm? No, I don't think so."
Adam might have been a coward in his previous life, however it was only when it ca to dealing with won or his internal struggles; n didn't impress him in the slightest.
It was more like, he kind of disliked those who acted arrogant just because they were good-looking.
The brown-haired hunter looked at Adam with disdain. "I admit it. You have guts kid, but you can't just go around and ddle with other people's business. You don't even what were you doing."
Hearing these words, Adam spoke nonchalantly. "Ah, you are talking about that portal. Well, I had a more efficient and quick way to deal with the problem, so I don't see any issue in using it. Even if I told you about it, then you won't believe anyway. I just did what I had to do."
The brown-haired hunted slamd on the table. "Kid, you are looking for troubles!"
Adam's expression didn't change, his eyes were looking down at the man. "Trouble? You are the one who called here. If you want to say sothing to , why don't you say it directly to my face without using this kind of thod?"
"You brat! You need to be educated." The brown-haired man said and tried to activate his power.
"Education? Are you even qualified to address without honorifics?" Adam walked toward the man. The atmosphere inside the room tensed up. "I would like you to try, if you can that is."
Julius was looking at what was happening, and he couldn't believe his eyes. He really should stop Adam, but he was also proud of his son.
Julius was conflicted, and so were the other people inside the room.
As for the other hunters, they believed that their leader will teach Adam a lesson.
They were not sure what kind of thod Adam used to close the portal, but they couldn't stand Adam's arrogance.
However, when Adam walked toward them once again, no one could move.
"Do you take yourselves as so kind of big shot or what? This is my ho, and I will protect it. If you are not happy with that, then you can go. But don't act like as*holes." Adam said, grabbing the brown-haired man's face with his hand. He used a lot of force and the man's face turned red.
These hunters understood that they were at Adam's rcy, and he could kill them all if he wanted to.
Not many people could overwhelm four top hunters (level 7 gift holders) at the sa ti.
Their intuition told them that Adam was not to be underestimated.
After that, Adam released the man's face and spoke more politely. "Now, please leave. The guards will escort you back, and you can leave this planet as soon as you can. Your work here is done, you are not needed anymore."
Feeling that Adam deactivated his power, the other hunters tried to attack, but their leader raised his hand and signaled them to stop.
Adam had already his plasma sword ready to be activated in his hand.
The brown-haired hunter looked at Adam with resentful eyes. "I will rember this," he said with a furious voice. Then he stood up, followed by the other hunters, and left the room.
Everything quieted down as soon as they left, and Adam also didn't say anything but just bowed his head slightly and left.
However, every people who were still inside the room asked the sa question inside their head. 'What just happened?'
*****
:::[Adam's POV]:::
The sun already set when I ca back to my room.
I was extrely tired, not physically but ntally. There were too many things that I needed to think about.
When I opened the door, a familiar emotionless voice welcod .
[Welco back master.]
I didn't even have the strength to show a shocked expression anymore. My head was on the verge of exploding.
"Hey, Cristal. Where have you been?"
[I went to take care of so business. However, it's not the right ti to talk about that.]
Cristal was right. At that mont I just wanted to close my eyes and forget about everything.
However, even though I tried to do that, I knew that I wouldn't be able to sleep before long.
[Shall I play music?]
I didn't expect to hear these words from crustal. "Music?"
[Yes. How about "La valse d'Alie"? You like that piece right?]
"But how did you know that? Wait, wait, how can you play music from my previous life here?
[Is that important now?"]
"I guess not."
After that, I could finally listen to the music that I enjoyed and managed to get so sleep.
Crustal was helpful in many ways. I wondered what else could she do.
