บท 179: Most Commendable Man

Once the conversation with Krystal ended, Lina saw Atlantis again. 

Atlantis was surrounded by a different crowd, but double the number of people. They were engrossed in a heavy discussion, all of whom were eager to make his acquaintance. 

Lina took a slow sip of her champagne and stared. How many glasses had it been?

Lina did not remember. She was entranced by the dry yet fizzy drink. It was sweet and tasted of lightly flavored soda. 

Those who had once insulted him were practically groveling at his feet.

"What a humorous sight," Lina muttered under her breath.

In the meantime, Lina could feel Kane's curious stare piercing a hole through her skull. He didn't take his eyes off of her. She knew why. He wanted to know what she said to Krystal in private.
