Chapter 298: ...Why? (1/2)

At this moment, the duo was in the meeting together with the other elite members of the organization.

Blaze hardly understood anything complicated in these meetings, but he participated nonetheless. Raven's burning glares also added to his 'motivation'.

Since Ozul had given them a mission to speed up the process of infiltrating the other organizations, both of them had to be updated to the latest information at all times.

Both of them were confident in their abilities. Even when Blaze wasn't much of a strategist, he was still strong enough to make anyone under Rank-9 give a run for their money. Hence, both had decided to work separately to speed up their progress.

Haley also detailed them on all the branch locations of the organization together with the structure of their system in case they weren't aware. It turned out to be a good idea since Blaze really didn't know anything about those details.

Sitting through the boring meeting, Blaze was just about to ask Haley if she knew where Ozul had gone when he noticed her bolting up from her seat.

Following suit, he saw Raven next to him also stand up. Realizing what it meant, he also stood up while moving his eyes towards the stairs.

”Young Master,” x2

Haley and Irvin both bowed, following the rest of the elite members except for Raven and Blaze.

As everyone looked at Ozul, their eyes directly went to his white shirt, which didn't look so white anymore. Sleeping two days in a row in the middle of the forest and on the ground leaned against a tree wouldn't have exactly protected him from the dirt.

Although he didn't care about his appearances, Raven very much did.

She approached him to hand him a new pair of clothes.

'Hmm?... Oh, my clothes,' Ozul realized her intentions through the eyes directed at his clothes.

Disregarding that everyone was currently looking at him, Ozul began to remove his simple white shirt under the gaping stares of everyone present there.

For a moment, even Raven was stunned. Her hand holding the white shirt she had just taken out of the Spatial Ring paused in mid-air.

Oblivious to everyone's pause, Ozul took the shirt from Raven's hand and quickly put it on.

Just like that, he didn't wait for anyone before he proceeded to take off his pants as well...

”Young master-”

”Cough... ”

”Really now~”

”Young master, please mind the surroundings...”

Irvin, Blaze, Oliver, and Haley all spoke respectively.

”Hm?” Ozul's hand hadn't even touched his pants when he heard them all shout at him. He looked up to notice their pleading expressions.

A few of the members present there were now on the ground for some reason. He also didn't fail to notice that all of those on the ground were female.

Raven and Haley were one of the few female members still on their feet.

Except for Raven, those still standing were all married. Still, this didn't stop them from admiring the heavenly sight which had greeted them just a moment ago. After all, even the men in the room were staring at him with unbelieving eyes.

As Ozul looked at Raven, he noticed her standing there in a daze. Her eyes weren't focused on anything. She was most likely daydreaming at this moment, considering those reddened ears.

'Oh yes... almost forgot...' Ozul muttered in his head.

He really didn't care if anyone saw him naked. However, he still had to be careful around others as once instructed by Grandma Carol.

He took the pants from the lightheaded Raven and went to the top floor to change his pants, leaving everyone to collect their thoughts.

With a teasing smile on his face, Oliver muttered, ”huhu~ It seems he still don't understand that he possess this skill~”

As Raven recovered from her fantasies, she heard his mutterings and asked absentmindedly, ”huh? What skill?”

”Hm? I didn't say anything,” Oliver pretended to be oblivious.

He could have joked around, but now that Raven was a peak Rank-8 Mage, he didn't want to get on her bad side, even by mistake.

However, the men in the room all shared the same sentiments as Oliver. Some sighed with envy, while others just shook their heads at how oblivious Ozul was to this 'skill' of his.

It didn't take long for Ozul to come back, now looking as if he hadn't just spent two whole days in a forest just to sleep.

By this time, most of the members had already left for their duties, and only Haley remained with a couple of others and the duo.

”We are ready to leave anytime,” Blaze informed him as he took a seat.

Haley had already told them everything necessary, and they didn't ask for any extra help either. She had also given them particular emblems that were supposed to prove their identity as one of the upper echelons. Even the branch heads would listen to whoever possessed them.
