The Author's POV Chapter 554 Date [4]

Chapter 554 Date [4]

"He's here."

As I stared toward the entrance of the building, I silently sighed to myself as I repositioned my fork on the table.

After turning her head, Amanda also caught sight of the individual, resulting in her eyebrows furrowing tightly.

"He came a lot faster than I expected."

"Yeah."

With a nod of my head, I met the individual's eyes. Immediately after meeting my eyes, I was met with his fierce glare.

After him, a couple of people with larger frames entered. Their appearance only served to give me a bigger headache.

'...I knew that this was going to happen.'

Squinting my eyes, I carefully scrutinized them.

"They appear to be rank at best."

"Mhm."

The auras they emitted were not hard to detect since they did not attempt to hide them in the first place. In addition, they both wore black suits adorned with a familiar emblem.

After a careful look, I realized that the emblem belonged to the Starlight Guild.

It was then that I came to one conclusion.

"They are probably his designated bodyguards."

"They are."

Anyhow, even if they brought an rank, I wouldn't be concerned. The same couldn't be said with ranks as they would be quite troublesome to deal with, but it wasn't like they could actually get one.

Upon their arrival, all the eyes inside the restaurant s.h.i.+fted toward the three individuals as they approached our general direction.

When I turned to stare at Amanda, my smile became bitter.

"What did I tell you?"

Turning her head away from them, her lips curled.

"…So what are you going to do?"

"What else am I supposed to do?"

As I slowly stood up from my seat, I removed the napkin from my lap, ready to confront the people who were about to approach us.

'I'll just release a bit of my aura and get this over with.'

However…

"What business do you have with them?"

Out of nowhere, a familiar figure appeared, and two hands touched the shoulders of the bulky individuals, stopping them from moving.

Startled, they turned to look at the individual who had stopped them. As soon as they saw him, their faces bleached completely and their bodies trembled.

Meanwhile, with eyes wide open, I immediately recognized the figure as I called out.

"Kevin?"

A million questions rose inside my mind as our eyes met.

"What are you doing here?"

Since when was he here? …and how does he know that I'm here?

Was it a coincidence?

I discarded the notion as soon as I saw his glare. There was no doubt that he had come to me on purpose.

Before that.

"Who are you?!"

A loud shout echoed throughout the restaurant as Micheal glared at Kevin.

With a furrow of his brows, Kevin didn't answer immediately. Staring in my direction, he alternated his gaze between Amanda and I.

"….what are you guys doing?"

"We're having lunch."

I replied after meeting his gaze.

Nodding his head, Kevin's frown deepened. After that, he turned to look at the three individuals that were looking for trouble.

"Let me handle this for now. Once you're done with lunch, I'll just need ten minutes from you. I need to talk about something important."

"Okay."

I subconsciously replied as I stared at his serious expression.

The only time Kevin's seriousness was this severe was when something significant happened. And so I knew better than continue to ignore him.

"Hey yo—"

Without waiting for the guy to finish speaking, Kevin gripped Micheal's shoulder blade and he let out an agonized scream.

On the other hand, the bodyguards had stopped moving completely as their eyes focused on Amanda. Their already bleach-white faces blanched even more. Clearly, they had finally recognized Amanda who no longer had her back turned on them.

Silently staring at them for a moment, Amand raised her head to stare at Kevin who was dragging Micheal out of the store.

Pointing at him, Amanda asked the two bodyguards.

"Shouldn't you be helping him?"

"We..we apologize for his behavior."

Instead of following him, the two bodyguards bowed their heads in Amanda's direction.

Coldly staring at them for a couple of seconds, Amanda waved her hand.

"Leave."

"Th..thank you!"

After that, the two bodyguards quickly scurried out of the restaurant.

Scratching the side of my head, I turned to look at Amanda who seemed to be in a sour mood.

"...That was resolved a lot faster than I expected."

In truth, I had originally thought I'd have to do some annoying stuff, but things turned out much more smoothly than I expected.

"Now that I think about it, we really do have some bad luck."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean..."

Pausing, I glanced around the place.

Immediately after I glanced around the place, the heads of the people around the store quickly snapped away from our direction.

I wryly smiled.

"See, a lot of the people here recognize you. For that one guy to know who you are, it really is bad luck."

"...You're pretty famous too."

"Not with my hair and eyes."

"Hmm..."

Squinting her eyes to get a better look at me, Amanda picked the fork back up and softly muttered.

"Maybe."

"Mr. Voss. We deeply apologize for his behavior."
