Chapter 142 True Friends
Because of Russell's promotion, Intis is always so "desirable".
This is a magical country where openness is the dominant theme.
Although it's only open in certain aspects, they still list it as "open".
A certain degree of equality between men and women has been achieved, something the Church of the Night has failed to accomplish despite its long efforts in the Kingdom of Rune.
The so-called miracles created by the Church of the Eternal Sun.
Although the ingredients are somewhat complex, Intis's "sun" truly shines equally on everyone.
Becker was unaware of Chael's underlying teasing. At that moment, he was pleased with Audrey's polite compliment and eagerly responded, which he considered romantic.
"People who can make fun of themselves always have an extra layer of beauty."
Even with Audrey's extensive social experience, she paused for a moment before figuring out how to respond tactfully, or rather, how to offer a subtle compliment.
The audience member noticed that Mr. Beckeron was about to continue telling his Intis jokes. Her beautiful blue eyes darted around and caught sight of Chael and Hazel watching them.
A smile played on her lips; she had found an excuse to escape.
"Sorry, my friend is looking for me."
Audrey said apologetically to Ambassador Becker.
"It's a pleasant thing to chat with you."
Becker knew it was just an excuse, but he wasn't angry. Beautiful women always have certain privileges, and he was prepared to try again next time.
Audrey walked away gracefully and decisively, without looking back, not even for a single glance.
Beckeron watched Audrey's retreating figure and noticed that two young men and women were sitting in the direction she was heading, and they also noticed his gaze.
This Sequence Six schemer could see the disgust in Hazel's eyes, but he didn't care. A beautiful woman, a little disgust, was a challenge to him.
Shael's gaze remained calm. He nodded to Beckron and silently mouthed two words:
"Rubbish!"
Although he was in a similar situation, that didn't stop him from provoking Beckron. And he could indeed say that, since at the angelic level, angels with only some personal problems who hadn't gone mad were already considered 'morally upright'.
Beckeron frowned. He didn't think he had offended her, but seeing Audrey sitting there and remembering what she had just said about "friends," Beckeron wasn't angry anymore.
The immature young man had no idea about the charm of a mature man; all he could do was rage and feel sour, and he didn't even bother to respond.
Beckeron turned around with his wine glass in hand to pursue other beautiful women. He had not forgotten the purpose of attending the banquet and would not let a small provocation distract him from his goal and waste his precious time on other men.
Although the man was really good-looking, he was a "conservative" in Intis and did not accept homosexuality.
"Nice to meet you here."
"Is this Miss Macht?"
I didn't expect you two to know each other.
Audrey greeted Chael naturally, after all, they did know each other, or at least be considered friends.
Audrey was unaware that Chael had reported her to the Church of the Night about being an Extraordinary being. If she had known, she might not have been angry, since Chael had only reported her, not Susie, which was quite friendly.
"Miss Hall, you can call Hazel by her first name. 'Miss Macht' doesn't sound very nice."
"Shaiel looked at Audrey and said."
Hearing Chael "belittle" her surname, Hazel really wanted to kill Chael, but Audrey was still there, and she had to maintain her elegance.
"You can just call me Hazel."
Hazel took a deep breath, turned her head and smiled; she didn't look angry at all.
Even if you're furious inside...
She wanted to ask, "What do you mean by 'how we met'?"
"You can also just call me Audrey."
Miss Audience thought Hazel was a very interesting lady. Although thieves should be more clever, Hazel still seemed a bit naive in front of Audrey.
"It must have been difficult for you to deal with that ambassador."
"I've heard some of his reputation, and I thought he would be very experienced, but judging from your reaction, his self-righteous pride is clearly the opposite of his past experience."
Xia Er commented that the matchmaking mechanism might be the reason why this Intis ambassador didn't get to play many games when he was at a disadvantage.
If he could actually act like he could easily win Audrey's initial favor, Chael would applaud him.
"I've met many gentlemen."
"But someone like him... who can use strong perfume, vulgar language, and low taste to make me want to vomit the moment I see him."
Audrey did not continue speaking.
"This shows that he is smart and didn't really intend to harm you, so he didn't pretend. Instead, he acted in the most relaxed and natural way to see your reaction."
Xia Er found it somewhat amusing; even Audrey couldn't have everything go her way, and inevitably, she would encounter unpleasant things as well.
"He certainly didn't hide his true character; he had absolutely no respect for women."
Audrey acknowledged this, and she was equally astonished; she hadn't expected that Chael could discern these things from a distance.
Such keen observation skills amazed even this audience member. No wonder he is an official extraordinary being of the church.
"Let's not talk about that ambassador."
Hazel interrupted their conversation, saying, "She's still here." And so, the two of them started chatting naturally.
"Who should we talk about?"
"Is that the gentleman who's been observing this area, wanting to come over but hesitant?"
Chael glanced at a young gentleman.
There are so many people who care about Miss Justice.
There are probably quite a few friends like this.
"Cons?"
Audrey understood.
"He was probably trying to remind me that Ambassador Beckeron was a dangerous man."
"Excuse me for a moment."
Audrey said something, then got up to comfort her true friend.
"When did you two meet? Why do you seem to have a good relationship?"
As soon as Audrey left, Hazel asked directly.
"At the ball."
"As for having a good relationship... do you think someone like Audrey, as long as you're a neatly dressed, normal person, would have a bad relationship with you?"
"She's not like you, with that arrogance that comes from possessing supernatural powers."
Xia Er directly teased Hai Rou Er.
He felt that Audrey's upbringing was rather unique, and the education she received seemed to have a touch of "respecting and valuing talent."
How could you say that about me?
You're comparing her to me?
Hazel's eyes widened; she felt betrayed.
