THIRD PERSON'S POV

"That's boring. I haven't even shown them my three-sword style, and then Nathan came and carried those three," Zeus gulped down his wine and shook his head. He felt bad because he didn’t get to defeat Tres or demonstrate what he'd learned during the five months in the dungeon. Just as he was about to attack Tres, Nathan and Jarvis suddenly appeared and blocked his strike. He was about to attack again, but Hyein stopped him. If Hyein had been a moment later, both Zeus and the masks might not be alive.

"The presidential candidates will be revealed tomorrow. Are you sure Mr. Salvador will run?" Uno asked. He wasn’t invited, but he found a way to escape Vixen and get to the mansion when he heard what happened. "It will be a big revelation if people find out he used to be a mask. If that happens, his hope of winning is impossible."

"Oh, don't worry, he will win!" They all turned to Viper, who had a woman's voice. It was a boy's hangout, and no girl should be there, but this one sneaked in. "Hi!?" She could feel the bad looks being thrown at her. "I'm sorry, but I have to accompany Conan because he can't afford to lose me by his side even for a moment."

Conan sighed because he didn’t say anything like that. He just looked away and drank the wine that Cris handed to him.

Even if he didn’t speak, the others knew that Demon was lying. They had no idea about the status of the two because it was normal for them to see Hyra flirting with Conan while Conan quickly rejected her.

"How sure are you that Mr. Salvador will win?"

"You mean your uncle? Oh, because I saw the future, and there, he is the president of the country," Hyra answered with a hint of annoyance at Cris. She couldn’t catch him for a few days and learned from Ripple that Cris was secretly visiting Mary at the hospital. "Uno, any news on the Underground?"

"Thank you for reminding me; I almost forgot. Tomorrow, there will be a meeting with the four rulers, and the president will lead that meeting."

"WHAT?! Why is that damn stinky president in the meeting?" Hyein stood up in annoyance. He still hadn’t forgotten the president’s declaration of search and hunt for the White Monarchy.

The Underground was supposed to be a secret to the public, but because of what happened in the past few days, the whole world knows about it. Many tried to get hold of it, but since Demon was still alive, they could not claim it.

"He works with Ice to defeat Demon," Uno replied to Hyein.

"You said a meeting with the four rulers, didn’t you? Then I should be there, right Conan?" Hyra looked at Conan with shining eyes, begging Conan to agree. It’s been a long time since she came out as the White Queen, so she feels excited.

"No! Stay at the mansion and do the paperwork," Conan replied, then sipped his wine. "I don't have a good feeling about that meeting."

The truth is, Conan doesn’t want Hyra to go because she will wear revealing clothes again, and he doesn’t want anyone else to see Hyra's skin except him. His possessiveness attacks whenever he sees someone showing interest in Hyra.

"But-"

"If you don't listen, I'll add a lock to my room so you can't get in."
