The Novel's Extra (0-100)

Chapter 73 - White Crystal (2)

6:40 P.M., Clancy Hall.

Boss was still sitting next to me.

Nom, nom—

She was busily chewing on a chocolate that she got from the waiter. She must really like it as her eyes were shining brightly.

Looking at her from the corner of my eyes, I thought about how I should respond.

The 'White Crystal' would be revealed soon.

That was something that could not fall into the Djinns' hands. However, I wasn't strong enough to prevent them from carrying out their plan, and even if I was, I shouldn't interfere and draw unwanted attention on myself.

Roton Corporation was one of the most corrupt corporations in my setting. Although there were no Djinns among their executives, many of them were so vile that Djinns would have been better off being in their positions.

No matter how I thought about it, it was best for the Chameleon Troupe to take the crystal like in the original story.

"Waiter."

Suddenly, Boss called the waiter. What did she want now? I focused my attention on her action.

The waiter came up to her and spoke politely.

"Yes, madam."

"Do you have any more of that chocolate you gave me before?"

Boss asked as she smacked her lips.

"Yes, here you go."

"No, not one. I think I'll be satisfied with about three."

"...Yes?"

While Boss was craving chocolates, Chae Nayun and Kim Suho returned. They looked around for their seats, then tilted their heads when they saw me.

They then walked up to me.

"Hajin, who is that next to you?"

"Who...?"

Kim Suho and Chae Nayun didn't yet know about Chameleon Troupe's Boss.

"Ah, she's someone I know, her name is Li Xiaopeng. She's a high-intermediate rank Hero. We met coincidentally."

I put my hand on Boss' shoulder, pretending to be friendly.

Boss was still munching on a chocolate.

"Nyam. Ah, mm, right. I'm Li Xiaopeng."

"Ah, yes, it's nice to meet you."

Chae Nayun greeted her a bit awkwardly, while Kim Suho bowed respectfully.

"This is Chae Nayun, and this is Kim Suho—"

"I already know. They are famous cadets."

Just like Boss said, the two of them were so well known that it would be strange for anyone in this business to not know them.

After finishing their introductions, Kim Suho and Chae Nayun sat down side by side.

"You guys are here too~?"

A soft voice flowed towards us like a current of warm air.

It was Kim Junwoo. He smiled, making his already small eyes smaller.

His narrowed eyes landed on Boss.

At the same time, Boss' eyes also landed on Kim Junwoo.

They seemed to see through each other's strength at first glance.

"...This is?"

Pointing at Boss, Kim Junwoo's voice had gotten a bit calmer. Boss only stared at him without giving him an answer. As a result, Chae Nayun spoke up instead.
