Chapter 530 You need a hand with something

Kyle noticed that after the elderly elf emphatically placed his glass on the table, many eyes turned towards him. He quickly scanned the area and casually chose an unoccupied chair at a table where some elves and two demi-humans were seated across from the elderly elf's table.

The elves and demi-humans were surprised when Kyle suddenly joined them and gazed at him with wary expressions. However, they relaxed when they detected his rank since he was practically flaunting it for everyone to sense.

They were about to ask him to leave their table, but before they could, Kyle cleared his throat and skillfully adjusted his hoodie to reveal his face a bit, then looked over at the elven woman seated nearest to him.

"Pardon me, miss, may I join you here?"

The elven woman blinked, taken aback by the pair of green eyes gazing at her eagerly. Before anyone else at the table could object to Kyle, she nodded slightly with a subtle flush on her neck, clearly charmed by the intense gaze upon her.

Kyle reciprocated with a brief smile that didn't last more than a few seconds. He softly uttered a quiet 'thank you', though internally he found his own actions somewhat awkward.

The other people at the table were all astonished by the exchange that happened before their very eyes and gazed at the elven woman with bewilderment. Her friend even whispered in her ear, questioning why she allowed a stranger to sit next to them. But the elven woman simply shrugged and remarked that it was because he looked handsome. The men at the table scowled at her comment and chose to ignore the hooded man who silently beckoned an elderly server to order some food.

After the server left, Kyle's eyes once again wandered to the table across from him. Some elves around him tried to talk to him, only to fall silent after being ignored by the man who treated them like thin air once he got what he wanted.

He gazed at the amber-eyed elven woman seated next to the old geezer who had given him a stern look earlier. Clearly, everyone else around her was dining, but she was evidently playing with her food, lost in her own thoughts. Kyle wanted to gaze a bit longer in the hope of recalling anything about her. But unfortunately, the supreme rank old elf sitting at her table was keeping an eye on him. So, he closed his eyes with a sigh and began to wait for his food.

'I know her name... it's Yue, right?'

He remembered the two elven women who had spoken to him on the elven planet and began to think about what else they had mentioned about Yue. They informed him that she was compelled to come to the elven planet... and when he connected the information gathered from Leroy with this incident, everything started to strangely fall into place. A sudden thought crossed his mind, and he opened his eyes in surprise.

'If she was forced to leave... Don't tell me I wanted to enter the ethereal tunnel to leave the planet so I could go find her? Oho, even though I have no memories of her, from my reaction, it's evident we were very close or perhaps we were lovers?'

Kyle wanted to chuckle at his own words, but his smile waned as he glanced at Yue. He let out a hum, finding it hard to believe, particularly his willingness to go to such lengths for someone else. The truth could only be revealed once the gap in his memory was filled.

'I need to talk to her alone, but how can I manage it when she's surrounded by so many people, especially that old geezer?'

He clicked his tongue and crossed his arms. The ambiance around him buzzed with myriad scents, particularly food, but everything faded as he began to craft a plan to share a private moment with the elven woman, all the while keeping an eye on her table to follow her whenever she left.

Suddenly, a few more elves joined Yue's table. They were all young men, which was fine until one of the elves with brown pupils whispered something in the ear of the person sitting in front of Yue, prompting them to leave their seat. The elf then took the vacant seat with a wide smile.

Kyle's crossed arms loosened as he gazed at the green-haired elf, whom he discovered was named Sebastian by listening to the faint whispers in the air.

The old geezer, who had previously given him a sharp look, now directed a similar glance at Sebastian, but the man simply laughed it off without a care.

It was tolerable when the bastard attempted to engage Yue in conversation despite her obvious annoyance. Kyle's eyes sharpened when Sebastian and the elves who arrived with him took out a few glass bottles of liquor from their mind space they had purchased at a steep price from a stall outside. He sneered as Sebastian confidently claimed that the drink they had acquired was very strong and was rumored to intoxicate even divine-rank individuals.

The supreme-rank old geezer at their table, even though asked the youngsters not to drink just anything, seemed tempted to try the drink and sneakily took one of the bottles for himself.

It was very normal to have a drink with food, and Kyle stayed calm, but he reached his limit when Sebastian and his friends began pressuring everyone at the table to drink it, even including Yue.

"That bastard..."

The people around Kyle were startled when he cursed out loud with dark eyes. They glanced at each other, but before any of them could ask him what happened, Kyle abruptly stood up and left the table. Okay, he was officially pissed.

He walked toward an old server and inquired about where to settle the bill for the food he had ordered but had not yet reached his table. The old man pointed toward a counter in the distance where a young human was seated. Kyle nodded and approached the person, who gazed at him with a bored expression and requested some mana stones.

Kyle's lips curved into an evil smile as he retrieved the fruit filled with divine energy from his mind, which he had previously stored, and tossed it onto the counter. The blue-haired man at the counter was surprised and quickly stored the fruit before gazing at him with a knowing smile.

"So, you need a hand with something?"

"I do, first off, I need a room in this place, and the second..."

Kyle dragged his words and glanced at Sebastian as he placed his arm on the counter.

"See that elf over there? He's really getting on my nerves. Can you help me get him out of this place? I will handle the rest."

The blue-haired man's smile broadened as he looked at Sebastian.

"Just that? Sure, it's no problem."
