Destroying My Own World

Chapter 36: Chapter 36: Behind the scene.

The evening should have been a grand party for everyone to enjoy, but it turned into a gloomy and awkward party because of what happened that afternoon. They were all so quiet and enjoyed their food and drink as they glanced at Mykel who was standing in front of Alfredo in the center of the hall.

They could see the anger in Alfredo\'s eyes, but weirdly enough, he didn\'t wreak it on Mykel. He acted like he was disappointed and sad which confused them because no matter how good their relationship was, Mykel went overboard and it was unforgivable. Mykel on the other hand, didn\'t look sorry or guilty at all, and he spoke to Alfredo as if nothing had happened.

Mykel knew even though he was only one of the guests that Alfredo invited, and how everyone knew how powerful the Redshield family was, Mykel already had everyone in his hands. He showed them who was the boss, who could change the world, and who they feared. Alfred knew that as well, that was why he didn\'t want to make everything worse and decided to prevent that from happening.

"Unfortunately, I have an urgent matter that I need to take care of, so, Ladies and Gentlemen! Please enjoy the night!" Alfredo said as he faked his smile and looked at everyone in the hall. "Cheers!" Alfredo raised his glass.

"Cheers!" Everyone said and raised their glasses.

Alfredo left with his advisor and the whole hall went quiet after Alfredo left the hall. They couldn\'t enjoy the party because Mykel was in the hall with them. Mykel knew that, and he decided to leave the hall with Jeanne and Aurea.

"Sup dudes, can we join you guys?" Sven asked with Nagy next to him and suddenly appeared right in between Shanka and Darius who were at their table.

"Sure," Shanka answered.

Sven sat down and started talking with Shanka and Darius as Nagy sat next to Zahra and Akila. Bhatmelec and Vincze were joining Zhang, Jeong, and Ren\'s table and started to have a light conversation with them. Gunnar, Enma, and Edith joined James and the others since they didn\'t really have a problem with them. Lyneth, Lillith, and Gerrard went to the table where Lazarus and Magnus sat and got to know each other.

"Miss Edith, how\'s Elena?" Victor asked with a worried expression.

"She\'s sleeping in her room, and she\'s already getting better. She will be fine tomorrow, I think," Edith answered and gently smiled at Victor. Her smile put Victor at ease for some reason.

"They both really have amazing recovery, huh? That\'s good to hear, Miss Edith," James said.

"So, uh. You guys know about that side of Mykel?" Travis asked nervously.

"Boss\' personality? Yeah. We know that already," Gunnar answered as he held a bottle of beer. "So you should know by now why we don\'t fear demons," Gunnar said as he chuckled.

They all laughed nervously and were surprised that Mykel\'s team was crazy enough to stick around with someone like him.

The atmosphere in the hall slowly lifted up and it became way lively compared to earlier. They started to enjoy their time together and started to open up with each other, but mostly they were all trying to dig up some information about Mykel.

They were starting to switch tables and everyone ended up dragging all the tables and making a giant square table in the center of the hall. They were all laughing and getting drunk from both the drink and the atmosphere.

"I\'m going to go to the bathroom," Jeong said to his friends as he stood up.

Jeong left the hall and he was only making an excuse so he could look for Jeanne since he admired her swordsmanship. He wandered around the castle, but he couldn\'t find Mykel anywhere, so he decided to check the guest rooms on the second floor.

Jeong was looking at the long hallway with doors on each side, and when he walked further, he heard a loud thumping sound from one of the rooms. He was startled but he decided to approach where the sound was coming from. When he got close enough, he flustered and covered his mouth because he heard moans coming from behind the door.

"Fuck, you\'re too deep! Mykel, you can\'t fuck me like this after we haven\'t done this for so long..." Aurea\'s voice could be heard from the door as she moaned in pleasure. "I\'m going to come... Jeanne, kiss me," Aurea continued as she sounded out of breath.

Jeong\'s heart was racing, and he wanted to get closer to hear what happened inside. As soon as he took a step closer, the moaning stopped and it was dead silence so suddenly. He knew that he got found out, and he immediately ran away as fast as he could.

Jeong went back to the hall and he was out of breath as he went back to his seat. His friends looked at him with confused looks, but when they asked him what had happened, he didn\'t say anything and only shook his head.

"Miss Lyneth said that she\'s Mykel\'s girlfriend, right?" Jeong asked his friend.

"Yes, and she confirmed it earlier when you were in the bathroom. Why do you ask?" A woman with a white hat asked as she looked at Jeong.

"Nothing," Jeong answered as he shook his head and drank his juice.

(The next morning)

"Good morning..." Elena said as she yawned with her messy hair and entered Mykel\'s room. "Oh, am I bothering you?" Elena was surprised when she saw Jeanne and Aurea\'s naked bodies on the bed as Mykel sat on the edge of the bed without a shirt.

"No, and it\'s noon already, Elena. You slept like a log," Mykel shook his head as he stood up. "How are you feeling?" Mykel asked as he looked at Elena\'s body which had been fully healed.

"I can still feel a bit of sting on my body, but I\'m fine. Anyway, I\'m hungry, do you want to eat?" Elena asked. "They\'re not sleeping, they both passed out, so we can leave them be," Elena said as she looked at how tired those two were.

Mykel nodded as he put on his shirt and went to the dining hall with Elena.

Mykel watched Elena eat, and she started to look like Lyneth with her long hair. He then looked at her arm and realized her recovery was abnormal even if she had her [Recovery] skill maxed out.

"Your skill is coming back isn\'t it?" Mykel asked and drank his wine.

Elena stopped eating her steak and looked at Mykel with a blank expression. "I don\'t know, but yesterday when I fought them, I felt like my will to not lose made me endure everything," Elena answered.

"I felt their punches and kicks. You were not supposed to survive that," Mykel said as he put down the glass. "I believe it was your skill that made you survive. It slowly coming back, just like me," Mykel pointed out and looked at Elena.

"Do you think so?" Elena asked as she looked at her hands. "I can\'t feel the energy, but now that you mentioned it, I\'m starting to feel sensitive about my body when I woke up this morning," Elena said as she realized that she could faintly feel her blood flowing around her body.

"What happened yesterday might trigger it, and now that it comes back, you might want to train it again," Mykel explained.

"Yes, I will. By the way, where are the others? It\'s weird that nobody is in the dining hall at this hour," Elena asked as she looked around at the empty dining hall.

"They\'re exploring the whole area and looking at the other facilities that the Redshield family has. They should be back any moment now," Mykel answered. "Looks like last night they managed to get close to them. It\'s good for us since now we have established a relationship with them," Mykel continued.

Jeanne and Aurea came to the dining hall, and they both looked exhausted. They sat down next to Mykel and took Mykel\'s food since he didn\'t touch his lunch. Not long after that, Lyneth came with everyone, and they were taken aback when they saw Mykel in the dining hall.

"What are you guys standing there for? Are you scared of me? You guys did nothing wrong, so why fear me?" Mykel asked as he looked at James and the others.

Everyone sat down at the long dining table and started ordering their food to the servants standing still on the sides.

"Now that everyone is here, I have something to say that might interest all of you," Mykel said as he looked at them.
