The Unrecorded Extra

Chapter 135 Global Meeting II

?

"Haa…"

The warm sun kissed Kyle's skin as he leaned back on the comfortable sun lounger. He had changed in his formal attire for a more relaxed beach-style outfit, embracing the carefree atmosphere.

The sound of waves crashing against the shore provided a soothing backdrop, creating the perfect ambiance for a relaxing day by the beach.

With a contented smile on his face, Kyle closed his eyes and allowed himself to fully immerse himself in the tranquility of the moment. He could feel the gentle breeze playing with his hair, the sand beneath his feet, and the laughter of the 10 leaders enjoying their time in the sun.

Actually, it was only nine of the leaders seemed to enjoy this oh-so-called conference.

Neychta, still in her stylish all-black suit, was not happy with the situation. She had expected something more intense and serious because of how the meeting was called, not an hour's holiday such as this.

It was to be expected she did not know about this since her guild was the youngest among the top 10 guilds. Despite being the youngest organization, Chrysalis quickly made its way to the top within 5 years.

She brought her hand on her full-face mask, sweeping the dust and water splashing across the visor.

Burst—!

As she stared blankly at the vast sea, toward the horizon line that seemed to set the clear blue sky and the deep blue ocean apart, a burst of water splashed on her mask, drenching her in salt water.

"Come on, Neychta. Why are you still in your working suit?"

The Obelisk's Guildmaster said as soon as he deliberately flung a blob of water at Neychta. Following him, the other leaders did the same thing.

"Hey! Stop it! You boomers are gonna break my mask!"

That was a rare moment for the 10 leaders who were always cautious of each other having a good time together.

But that was merely a facade.

They were all wearing masks, and Neychta knew that. She knew that they were just being friendly because of the situation. She would never forget just how many times she almost lost her life because of those bastards.

Well, at least she got Lynn Aurum.

She noticed Lynn was smiling warmly in the distance. Just as how Neychta regarded Nuria as her guardian and grandmother, she regarded Lynn as her big sister. She was the one who always helped her when Chrysalis Guild was just a drop in the ocean.

Time went quickly.

40 minutes passed by in a blink of an eye.

At the end of the stress relief activity under the guise of the conference, the leaders gathered around Kyle. What their vision caught in the next second was the majestic round table room.

They had safely stepped foot on Earth again.

"That was a superb experience!" The jade-colored hair woman exclaimed, her hands stretched into the sky. "I wish the ocean here is as safe as in that place."

She was given the name Jade because of her striking hair color. Her tawny skin complimented her hair color as well as her light green eyes that gave off a fresh mint aura.

Referring to the emblem — which the world tree design was embedded on it — printed on her cape, it was clear which guild she belonged to.

That's right! She was the Yggdrasil Guildmaster!

The person beside her sighed. He had light blonde hair that almost looked platinum blonde when hit by the cold light. His skin was as pale as a corpse. Nevertheless, he looked perfectly healthy.

"I don't want to admit it but I must agree with you this time, Jade."

Jade glanced at him, her eyes slightly widened.

"Oh ho ho. It would be great if you do that every time I made a statement, Dylan— I mean, Haven Grande Guildmaster," she said, a tone of sarcasm sounding clear.

Breaking the two leaders' banters, Kyle clapped his hands, seeking the guild leaders' attention.

"Thank you, everyone, for coming! As much as I wanted to stay in that place, I still have a duty as the Association leader," his word came to slow, quietly glancing from person to person. "There's still the Global Meeting in 10 minutes. As the Enhanced representatives, you all are obliged to attend to it."

Smiling, he strode toward the great door that seemed to be similar to a vault door, whether it was the massive size or the thickness that was further reinforced by magic no one could ever hope to break.

"I'll be expecting your company at the Global Meeting," said Kyle, waving his hand before he turned left as soon as he passed the door and disappeared.

Everyone began to leave the round table room one by one, leaving Neychta alone with her Nova Watch.

She typed something on the holo keyboard excitedly, seemingly to have an online chat with someone. When she was done, her shadow suddenly moved as though it had its own life.

Emerging from her shadow was Black Raven, dressed nicely in a black suit covered by a robe, just as how a shadow should be. Following him were two people. They emerged from the shadow despite not having the ability to do so.

It was all thanks to Black Raven and the mastery of his own power.

One of them was a guy with a small build. Nothing special to be made a note from him except for the large round glasses hiding his snake-like yellow eyes. Goose.

The other one, despite having a charming face and overall appearance, had to have a weird fashion sense. He looked like an enigmatic noble who came from the 19th century.

"I'm so glad to hear you want to volunteer to be my aide today, Crow."

Crow nodded with a slight smile, removing the monocle from his eyes.

"I am the one who should be glad to be here. Thank you for allowing me to be your attendant at the Global Meeting."

He displayed a gentle smile to Neychta, Goose, and Raven. But, deep down in his heart, he was smiling like a little devil.

'I'll make this Global Meeting progresses even faster than in the original script.'

***

In less than a minute, the sun would soon reach its peak point.

In a spacious room — a meeting hall, in fact — hundreds of people were gathered. Sunlight flooded through tall windows, illuminating the polished marble floors and elegant chandeliers.

At the center of the hall stood an elevated stage for hologram displays.

Row upon rows of plush seats encircled the stage, each upholstered in rich velvet, inviting the attendees to settle in. Elaborate banners, representing diverse nations and organizations, hung proudly from the rafters, symbolizing the global scope of the gathering.

92 seats, 92 occupants.

The nations and organizations were settling on their seat, while their aides stood behind them.

Kyle and Evelyn were seated next to each other because they were the host of this Global Meeting.

Meanwhile, Neychta's seat was clamped between the two strong nations. To her left side was the representative of England, and to her right was the representative of Turkey.

'Damn! The pressure... it's so intense. It makes my skin crawl with excitement!' Crow thought as he observed the meeting hall.

He glanced at Goose standing beside him. Surprisingly, Goose remained calm, not a single sweat spotted. His snake-like eyes carefully examined the hall structures and designs. After that, he decided to examine the hundreds of people who were present there.

'As expected from Doctor Specter, King of Network, and Vice Leader of Utopia.'

Following Goose, Crow did the same inspection of his surroundings. The hall, the people, the expansive decorations along the wall and ceiling. 

He took every piece of information he acquired into his brain database and made sure it would not be forgotten for at least until the meeting ended. It would be better if he could remember it permanently, though.

As he swept his gaze over the hall, he abruptly stopped on Evelyn, the representative of Lunaria Tower. The reason was that he noticed the unique and beautiful pattern of her eyes. It was as though her eyes reflected the aurora even though they were inside a building.

Noticing Crow's gaze was on her for a minute now, Evelyn turned to see the person. Once their eyes made contact, she flinched and her eyes widened in a welcome surprise.

As though noticing something from Crow, Evelyn gave him a knowing smile.

At that moment, Crow raised his eyebrow and quickly averted his gaze somewhere.

'What was that smile earlier?'

He continued to inspect other people and stopped on an individual who was seated in the chair, a representative of Keepers Guild. A middle-aged man who dressed elegantly, carrying a sense of intellect person due to his round glasses and hairstyle.

Crow recognized him very well. The Guildmaster of Keepers Guild, Alexander Galonn.

'The betrayer of humanity. After this meeting, he will seek the demonic human and make a contract with the demon because of his greed for power.'
