Kiba steeled himself and moved forward to hug Felicity. She reciprocated, and they shared a hug befitting two 'fearless' people.
Carole was confused. Just a few hours ago, when she met him, he had tried to take liberties with her. He even mentioned wanting to make love with Eva in front of Richard!
But now, the same womanizer was behaving like a gentleman in front of a beauty like Felicity. Carole was in her early thirties, Eva in her late twenties, and Felicity was in her early twenties. So, Kiba should have been excited, but he was acting completely different, contrary to his nature.
Earlier, Carole had feared Kiba would cause a scandal if he met Felicity, but now it seemed she had worried for nothing.
"It's like he would never have any nefarious thoughts against her. Is this due to her father being a senator? No! He had an affair with another senator's wife! He's not the type who fears power!" Carole pondered.
Felicity, on the other hand, was happy to share a proper hug with a 'fearless' person like Kiba.
"You're a bit lacking compared to the rumors, but you're not too bad," Felicity remarked.
The corners of his lips twitched.
"Your beauty was so radiant, I forgot my character," Kiba said with a smile. He couldn't let her or the people nearby have any suspicion about his identity.
"Oh, you're good with compliments. Is this how you seduce women?" Felicity was curious.
She wasn't interested in dating or having a sexual relationship with Kiba. She just wanted to understand the trade secrets of a 'fearless' man like him.
Kiba had affairs with wives and daughters of strong mutants and top corporates. She really wanted to know how he did it.
The two young men, on the other hand, were in full alert mode. They wanted to know how Kiba always managed to get the best girls!
"Can't share my secrets in front of so many people," Kiba casually replied. He sat back in his chair and started drinking wine. There were no more signs of discomfort on his face.
Felicity made herself comfortable by sitting across from him.
"That's too bad," Felicity sighed before continuing, "I wish my friend was here. You could have helped him."
"Friend?" Hank and Carole thought aloud.
From her words, it was clear she was talking about a 'male' friend. They also knew Felicity didn't use the word 'friend' randomly!
She didn't treat the two young men trying to win her favor with any respect or courtesy. Carole had heard her calling them 'annoying insects'.
So, for Felicity to address someone as a friend, he definitely had to be someone she cared about!
"Honestly speaking, I had two main reasons for coming to meet you. First, I wanted to meet a truly fearless man. The other reason was I need help for a friend," Felicity explained when she saw no response from Kiba.
Kiba's lips twitched. He had the perfect idea of who her friend was.
"Your friend is in trouble?" Kiba asked, trying to sound perfectly normal.
"Sigh. My friend IS the trouble," Felicity replied with sadness. "I want to visit the inner regions of the Paradox Dimension, but I can't go due to him."
Paradox Dimension!
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. It was the most dangerous area on Earth, something that burst into existence after the arrival of the Evolution Comet. It was located in the Bermuda Triangle.
"Lady Felicity, you should never go to that dimension! It's a graveyard!" Carole said, her voice filled with concern and fear.
Even the strongest mutants could barely survive the outer regions, but Felicity wanted to visit the inner region!?
"I will visit the inner region someday! It's just that I can't go now as I'm worried about my friend," Felicity said, her voice filled with frustration.
"Worried?"
"Yeah. That idiot lacks thrill in his life. If I die, then who would be there to bring adventures into his life?"
Kiba: "......."
"What good is life without adventure? Kiba, I'm sure you understand it better than anyone! I've tried to teach him, but he doesn't understand! Perhaps he needs a man-to-man conversation, so I need your help!"
Kiba: "......"
Felicity was sure Kiba was the right man to teach her friend about the importance of adventures!
Kiba's life was full of adrenaline rushes as he had flings with the daughters and wives of powerful corporations!
"You never let go of your desire to sleep with women, even when their husbands are gods! This tells me you don't fear dangers!"
"And that's how a man should be! Always pursuing death but enjoying the struggle between life and death!"
Kiba: "......"
"If my idiot friend learns this much, then I won't have to worry about anything! I can even die without any worries!"
Kiba: "...."
"Being a true friend is a very hard job."
Kiba: "....."
Time to move to main plot from the next chapter. In the next 6-7 chapters,, we shall see some revelations on Kiba's powers
