Chapter 543 I hope you don't cause any trouble
Kyle glanced at Yue, who was seated at the table, before shifting his gaze to Wesley as the old man rose and headed towards the building exit with a frown.
'I wonder if he agreed or not... well, even if he didn't, I can always follow Yue from a distance. It's not like he can stop me.'
He quickly scanned the many elves beside him who had been observing him since Yue and Wesley left to talk. Stepping forward, he casually pulled an empty chair from the adjacent table and sat down between them without a care.
The elves seated at the table and those holding Sebastian all stared at him with astonished expressions as he paid them no mind, as if they were invisible. Kyle then signaled a young server and placed an order for something to eat.
Nox stretched his body before fixing his gaze on Kyle with a solemn expression.
'You took your time coming out, huh? I couldn't sleep because of you.'
He flinched and almost stepped back when Kyle reached out his hand towards him, but he gathered his courage and stayed put. There was no way he would show fear, even though the man had once attempted to eat him! However, he blinked when Kyle gently rubbed the space between his horns.
'If you are tired, just rest. Tomorrow, you have to accompany and fight alongside Yue if Wesley takes all the elves to explore a tomb and encounter danger.'
Nox scoffed at him. Of course, he would always stay by Yue's side, so he didn't need any reminder. Despite being somewhat wary of the silver-haired man due to their past, he leaned in to the comforting touch, which felt vastly different from Yue's because it was extremely cold.
The elves seated at the table exchanged glances before one of them attempted to get Kyle's attention by tapping on the table in front of them. He even inquired if Kyle was truly Yue's partner and how they had met, but his eyebrow twitched when the silver-haired human disregarded him.
The other elves surrounding him all stifled their laughter as his face stiffened. At that moment, Sebastian pushed aside the elves around him with a furious expression.
"The old man is gone! So, for the world's sake, stop grabbing me now!"
He gritted out, and the elves around him backed away, silently hoping for a good show as Sebastian rolled up his sleeves and advanced towards Kyle.
However, just as Sebastian was about to reach Kyle, the human shifted his chair to the side and glanced at Yue, who was approaching. The events unfolded rapidly, catching Sebastian off guard, and in the next second, he found his body getting dangerously close to the table filled with half-eaten food.
He instinctively grasped the table's edge and sighed with relief, but who would have thought that the table would topple over onto his feet due to his weight.
Sebastian cursed under his breath as he gazed at his condition, which looked no better than that of beggars.
He turned sharply towards the silver-haired human with a grim expression, but Kyle had already risen and moved towards Yue, who met Sebastian's gaze with an icy expression. As if daring him to touch the human in her presence, and she would make him regret it.
Sebastian's expression darkened, and he sank into a nearby chair with a resentful look. How could she support a human after all the time he had spent by her side? He shot Kyle a fierce glare and opted to ignore him for now since he was with Yue.
He had sensed the human's rank and knew they were evenly matched in strength. Deep down, he made up his mind to challenge the human to a duel as soon as he reached the next stage of divine energy in the divine rank, feeling confident that he was almost there. Then, he would beat up the human in front of Yue to show her who is superior!
After planning his next moves, Sebastian stood up, his eyes filled with determination as he left the area to change his clothes first and foremost. He would train hard to grow stronger and defeat the human who had taken away the person he liked!
Blissfully unaware that the human he planned to beat had already labeled him as an annoyance who needed some help to get some brain cells.
Kyle glanced at Sebastian's fading figure from the corner of his eye as he chatted with Yue, who informed him that they would find out after Wesley spoke with the other supreme ranks whether Kyle could join the elves or not.
He nodded, and they began walking towards another table to eat, aiming to avoid any further interaction with the elves nearby. Nox glanced at them and then leisurely hopped down the table to follow behind the pair. But he nearly panicked when Kyle suddenly halted his steps and extended his hand towards him.
"Come here."
The human called out to him as he suspiciously stared at the hand reaching out to him. After a long and thorough battle in his mind over whether to approach Kyle or not, he slowly climbed onto Kyle's hand before settling on his shoulder. Despite that, the lynx could never get used to the human's gentle behavior; it always sent a chill down his spine. They sat at the table, and the food Kyle had ordered earlier quickly arrived.
Kyle grabbed the lynx sitting on his shoulder and placed him on the table. Then he pushed a plate filled with meat in front of Nox and asked him to eat. The lynx's eyes narrowed suspiciously, and he looked at Yue. Only after getting her assurance that everything was fine did he start eating. When they finished eating and were sitting at the table chatting, Wesley returned.
Upon spotting them, the old man approached their table. He couldn't believe the other supreme rank individuals agreed so easily. He even emphasized the fact that the human was very suspicious. However, for some reason, Ronan said it was okay to let the human stay by Yue's side.
Wesley stopped in front of Yue, and her face lit up when he told her that Kyle could accompany her. Then he gazed at the human with a solemn expression.
"But I hope you don't cause any trouble and simply stay silently by her side. Also, I won't interfere or help you if you face danger because I'm already occupied with the elves under my protection... You see, currently, the Sacred Divine Land is very dangerous as many powerful individuals from the dark side are roaming around in this territory."
Kyle nodded silently. He believed he could defend himself, and if the opponent was above the transcendent rank, he was confident in his ability to escape before they could even lay a hand on him.
Wesley let out a heavy sigh. Even though he said he wouldn't assist the human, he knew he would if the man was in danger because Yue would undoubtedly try to help, and he had to protect her, which meant he had to protect Kyle as well.
"Alright, I will see both of you tomorrow morning. Don't be late. Just join the other elves who will gather in front of the building and wait for me."
