Chapter 107: He Did All That?
Her power centered around and depended on the abundance of water in the world. Luna was blessed by Neptune, the god of the sea and tides, and she could do miraculous things with water.
Some of the feats that she has performed with her element were seen as godly because of how impossible they seemed, but she was able to do them easily with her blessing. She could manipulate water down to the molecular level, tearing apart its structure, heating it, cooling it, shaping it, drawing it out from other things, and even using it as armor and weaponry.
There hasn't been anything that she couldn't do with water yet, and people were always wondering what the limit of her power was.
She was yet to find out.
Luna sighed peacefully, and a puff of hot air wafted out from her body and heated up the moisture in the air to create more steam to fill the room. The man in the suit was slowly starting to sweat, but he did not show any reaction as he continued speaking.
"That is not all, Madam Luna. There is something else that I think will interest you."
"Well, come on then. Don't leave me in suspense and tell me already."
Luna turned her face around and rested her cheek on her palm as she faced the man, and the man could feel his heart rate spike as he saw her beautiful face gazing at him. What sort of god created this woman for her to look like this? This is the only thought that crossed the man's mind at the moment.
Luna's hair was white.
No, calling it white would be an insult to her hair.
It was something beyond white. It glowed with an ethereal shine that made it seem almost like neon white. Even without touching it, you could tell that it was silky and smooth, and there was a calmness to it that made it rest in a sultry manner no matter what position Luna was sitting or lying in. Her eyes, on the other hand, were blue. But they weren't like regular blue eyes that were just plain.
No, they shone with a power and intensity that seemed to suck your soul into it and strip you down to nothingness as it gazed into you. The man felt like spilling all his life secrets just by looking into those eyes.
And all of this was made even better by her small oval face and soft features. She had a thin, small nose, wide eyes, and thin full lips that would attract anyone's gaze if she pouted them even once! Luna was beautiful, there was no doubt about that. In fact, Luna was probably the most beautiful woman in the world as far as the man was concerned.
It was just too bad that Luna was not interested in romance at all. There have been many suitors that have come and tried taking Luna's hand in marriage. Arranged marriages, political marriages, forceful courting, and declarations of love, Luna turned them all down brutally and sent the men away in disappointment as she declared that she was not interested in them.
For some time, people started to speculate that Luna might be a lesbian. But after Luna broke the skull of one woman who tried to kiss her, no one dared to speculate such nonsense again. Everyone just accepted the fact that Luna was not interested in any romantic relationships, and they backed off and gave her the space she wanted.
"Well, aren't you going to tell me about this news you deemed so important, that you would interrupt my rest for it?"
The man was snapped out of his musing by Luna's voice. The man knew that Luna caught him staring at her, but she handled it well and just made him come back to his senses, and he quickly tried to compose himself as he walked forward and handed Luna a folder. Luna was used to people getting lost while staring at her, so she did not feel irritated by the man's reaction.
Luna tucked a strand of white hair behind her ear, and the man almost lost his breath at that moment as he saw her exposed neck for a split second. God help him, this woman is too beautiful.
He closed his eyes and took in a deep breath as he tried to bring his senses back to normal. he needed to stop getting distracted so easily! It wasn't like he had any chance with Luna, so what was the point of getting distracted like this!? He was just making a fool of himself right now!
Luna opened the folder and began to look through a file that had Mark's face as well as a lot of information about him and his lineage on it.
"What is this?"
"That is Mark Vanitas. The sole survivor of the Vanitas family and the eventual heir of the Vanitas Motors enterprise. He was recently discovered to be a superhuman who was hiding his identity and acting as a vigilante called GHOST. His strength was estimated to be between a low A rank and a high B rank by some experts, but they turned out to be wrong.
The recent attack on city C by a calamity class drew his attention, and after an intense battle that left a large portion of the city in ruins, he emerged victorious without any external help."
Luna rose a delicate white brow as she looked down at the image of Mark Vanitas again. Mark looked very mature in the picture, but she could see that he was still wearing his school uniform so she was certain that he couldn't be above nineteen years old. A child was able to defeat a calamity-class monster? Didn't that mean that he was a high-level A rank already, or perhaps even an S rank?
Luna was impressed by what she heard, but that did not mean much to her because she already had many A and S ranks in her guild. There was no way that the man would be telling her this if Mark had only done this much.
"So, what else happened?"
The man continued.
"After the fight against the calamity class, there were reports that Mark Vanitas was taken in by the NSA. There was an altercation within the NSA building between Mark and the former chairman of the NSA, James Dragonheart. No one knows the outcome of the battle, but they seemed to have come to an agreement where Mark Vanitas would go with the NSA on the island raid."
Luna's eyes narrowed. She already heard about what happened to James on that island and she was a little disappointed that James would allow himself to be killed that easily. It was the NSA's fault for not putting in the proper resources and research before they went to that island.
Luna received many requests for aid from the NSA, but she ignored all of them because there was no use in joining a government body and risking their lives. There was nothing in it for Luna and her guild, so why would she join?
