Chapter 49: The Officials

"No need! Just order some food for us, and don't forget, order one for him," Miya replied before walking to a table in the corner of the restaurant.

She didn't seem to want to take care of them, which was quite surprising to Oliver considering she seemed offended.

After all, she wasn't the kind of woman who would keep quiet when she felt offended.

When she sat down, she immediately focused on her phone.

Oliver sat in front of her, unsure of what she was thinking.

Ever since her silence, some people had started to become increasingly rude when speaking.

Meanwhile, when Kim Hana arrived, the waiters immediately came with her, carrying several trays of very fancy looking dishes.

From the looks of it, they were ready with all kinds of dishes so the guests didn't have to wait long.

And one waiter walked out with a plate and bottled water.

Oliver and Miya quickly started dinner, including Kim Hana.

At first glance, this seemed to be a normal dinner in a normal world, but it was very noisy outside because of the endless honking of car horns.

Even people easily thought there was a riot even though it didn't happen.

Oliver was actually a bit surprised that there hadn't been a riot or even looting.

Perhaps no one was in the mood to do so with the conditions where monsters could come at any time.

For the people who were already strong enough, they remained relaxed, enjoying the beauty of this night.

Perhaps they were confident that they would be fine even if the city was invaded by monsters.

The restaurant remained in a cozy condition.

Although there was always rude talk, no one really took excessive measures such as approaching Miya directly.

It's just that, just as Oliver and the others were about to finish their food, suddenly there were several helicopters landing next to the restaurant.

There was indeed a fairly large courtyard, but still the arrival of several helicopters at once was very surprising.

They also emitted loud sirens, echoing endlessly.

The waiters including the restaurant manager hurriedly went outside, as if to greet them. Oliver even faintly saw a waiter ask Jackson to hide in a corner of the restaurant's courtyard, as if the waiter didn't want Jackson's presence to be an eyesore.

'Are they going to have dinner here?' Oliver wondered.

He was sure they were made up of high-ranking officials, and they were supposed to include not only city, but state and federal officials as well.

Soon the people in the helicopters disembarked.

Most of them were middle-aged men wearing black suits and ties, looking authoritative.

About five of them wore military uniforms and the ranks on their shoulders instantly amazed everyone in the restaurant.

One of the five actually had an insignia consisting of 3 stars.

A three-star general. This is a very high rank in the military, let alone in Europe.

Of course, other officials might be equivalent to that general. However, since they were civilians, it was difficult to know their positions.

"Mayor!

Compared to the general, Oliver was more interested in the middle-aged man with a thin body, looking simpler than the others.

He was the mayor of Vera, Miles.

He wasn't even wearing a suit, just a shirt that was probably old.

His shoes were also cheap, not giving the impression of class like other officials' shoes.

One would probably think he was just a servant in charge of serving those officials.

However, there were more people who respected him than other officials with higher ranks.

'I don't feel he is a bad person or a hypocrite. Even if that's true, it's just the nature that exists in everyone. There's no way he's completely pure. However, why did he choose to become a kidnapper?' Oliver thought to himself.

Unfortunately, he was only a young man. The changes in a person's choices when they entered middle age was something he could hardly guess.

The officials' destination was indeed this restaurant. They entered it and were directed to the second floor by the waiters.

They were busy whispering quietly, not looking around at all.

Even when their minds were drawn to Miya, they only gave her a quick glance.

Mentally, they were naturally very different from young people.

A woman's beauty could not completely control their minds when they were completely focused.

However, the general actually looked at Miya again after staring at her for a moment.

He was then surprised, like he had just seen his old acquaintance.

"Miya," he said after being startled, and it was loud enough for everyone in the restaurant to hear.

This was enough to surprise Oliver as the general apparently recognized his aunt.

He glanced at the woman, replaceing that she kept an indifferent expression.

To everyone's surprise, the general even approached Miya, leaving the group behind.

"Miya, I didn't expect to see you here. Are you doing well? I heard you were rejected by all the constellations," the general said.

Because he said that, everyone finally knew that this woman was the famous boss of Vera, who had recently become a discussion among the elites because she dared to offend a Class S Constellation, which then led to her being rejected by all the constellations.

"Elon, it's none of your business, no need to think about it," Miya replied, continuing to eat without looking at the man for too long.

"Uhmm, Miya, you're still being an ignorant woman," Elon said.

"If you continue like this, you won't be able to survive in this new era. If only you become more friendly, your problems can actually be solved. After all, your friends from high school to university mostly have authority and great wealth, who would dare to bother you if they protect you. I'm sure they all wouldn't refuse if you really told them that you need help.

Well, who among them would be able to refuse your request. I know some of them still love you more today than their own children and wives."

Elon seemed to chuckle as he said the last few sentences while Oliver rolled his eyes.

This kind of thing was something new to him.

It seemed that this woman sitting opposite him was almost like the main character in a story when she was young.

Maybe it was still the same now. It was just that she preferred the difficult path.

"Do you think I can't do anything now?" Miya replied and looked at Elon with a sharp gaze.

She raised one finger, which made her body emit an extremely cold aura, and it apparently made all the drinks in people's cups freeze into ice.
