The Most Powerful Characters In The World Are Obsessed With Me

Chapter 74

Once they arrived at the meeting point, Wayne got off first. From now on, Dalia had to pretend to be the attendant who followed him.

Wayne has apologized and asked for understanding from Dalia several times because of this.

“Also, I really didn’t mean to be rude…….”

“I will never tell Sir Cedric.”

“……Thank you so much.”

That also happened.

Dalia sometimes needs to run a bit to catch up with him who walks in front.

Even looking from his back, she could see why Wayne belonged to the Imperial Palace. From the way he walked to his gestures, he looked like a completely different person.

He turned around at the end of the alley and stopped in front of a five-story building. It seemed to be the meeting place.

Dalia looked around.

She was expecting it just in case, but even after a while, Meldon showed no signs of appearing.

In fact, she didn’t have much expectation that he would appear in front of her just because she showed the pattern once, but her heart was hoping that it would happen somehow.

She needed to deal with Beolde, a formidable transcendent, but she was somewhat uneasy to go without a transcendent with her.

However, she couldn’t call Cedric who had a bad reputation here. Hikan was completely out of the question. So, she bet on the other possibility just in case, but it seems that it didn’t work after all.

‘No, let’s do it well even on our own.’

Wayne opened the door to the building.

The person waiting inside saw him and raised his chin toward the upper floor.

“She’s in another meeting right now, but it’ll be over soon. Go up first. Or just wait.”

“Let’s go up first.”

“What’s with the kid behind you?”

“I’m illiterate. I brought someone to read for me.”

“Idiot. Go.”

Fortunately, they passed without a doubt.

Dalia went up to the fifth floor with Wayne. Wayne whispered in a low voice on their way up.

“It seems that the previous negotiations are not going well.”

“Why?”

“Normally, negotiations here get longer when that happens.”

So that’s the reason. Dalia didn’t know well, so she just accepted it.

There was only one room on the fifth floor.

The two stood in front of the door in the hallway. Wayne took a tool out of his pocket and stuck it on the door as if he was familiar with it. It certainly looked like a wiretapping device.

‘He’s really thorough.’

Wayne looked at Dalia and shook his head.

As expected, something didn’t seem to go well. He quickly retrieved the device and put it in his pocket.

After a while, the door slammed open.

It was a middle-aged man in his 50s who came out.

He seemed infuriated. He couldn’t overcome his anger and shouted back inside.

“Do you think your family will be safe if you do this?”

Instead of an answer, she heard a cheerful laughter.

The man stomped on the floor and when he found Dalia and Wayne, he hurriedly adjusted his expressions.

“……Ahem, lowly things.”

Why were they the one who gets called lowly when he’s the one who gets caught getting angry?

Dalia had a very reasonable question.

Then, when she met the man’s gaze, she hurriedly bowed her head. He seems like a noble, she will be in trouble if he finds out who she was if they meet later.

‘His face looks familiar…….’

She couldn’t think of who he was right away.

However, the man seemed to have interpreted Dalia’s behavior strangely.

With a somewhat satisfied expression, he took out his wallet and handed her a business card.

“You look cute. Contact me later if you want.”

She really didn’t want to receive it, but she needed to see Beolde first, so she shouldn’t make a fuss.

Dalia took the business card as she looked closely at Wayne, who looked like he was going to kill people with his eyes.

The man smiled in satisfaction and put his hand as if he was trying to pet her head……but his hand was twisted.

“Aaargh!”

The man grabbed his broken hand and screamed. She was wondering if it was Wayne, but he also had a bewildered expression on his face.

When she turned around, Meldon was standing there with a bright smile.

He took the business card in Dalia’s hand, tore it in half and threw it out of the window.

He was a person who appeared in a really unexpected situation.

“…… Mr. Meldon?”

Dalia called out his name involuntarily and covered her mouth with both hands in panic.

And he shook his head vigorously, telling her not to say his name.

Meldon nodded to see if she understood. Dalia nodded as well.

“Wh, what is this!”

She heard a sharp voice.

Looking back, the man was screaming at Meldon while holding his broken hand that would take at least eight weeks to recover.

Even Dalia looked at Meldon with the same sentiment.

He has a familiar face, and seeing that he mentioned her family to Beolde, this man seems to be from a high-ranking family, but even though Cedric was behind Dalia, was it okay to just leave it like this?

But the man who was screaming suddenly shut his mouth when he saw Meldon’s face.

“……How can you be here……? No, more than that, what have you done……!”

Meldon broke into a smile.

“No, even though you are my father, seeing you behaving so ugly makes me feel a little…….”

‘Father?’

Dalia’s eyes widened at the unexpected words.

If so, it meant that the man was Meldon’s father, Duke Artus. When she heard that, she remembered what party she had seen him at.

He saw Dalia when she was very young and hasn’t seen her ever since. So he didn’t seem to recognize her grew up.

‘What is Duke Artus doing here?’

Dalia looked at Wayne with her head still bowed.

Wayne quickly pushed Dalia behind his back to block her from the man’s gaze.

He didn’t seem too surprised to find out that the Duke of Artus had an illegitimate child. Unlike Dalia, he probably knew right away who Duke Artus was when he first saw him.

Duke Artus quickly hid his emotions and spit them out like a politician.

“Father? There are all kinds of crazy people.”

Even if he spoke harshly, he seemed to know that it was his loss to exchange words with Meldon.

He grabbed his hand and hurried down the stairs with his knight.

It was like seeing a member of the National Assembly running away from reporters on political news in her previous life.

Meldon followed the Duke’s back with his eyes, then immediately leaned down and whispered in Dalia’s ear.

“How did the young miss of the Pesteros family end up here like this?”

“……There’s a reason for this. Anyway, how……?”

This was Beolde’s base.

He didn’t join before they arrived, nor did he make an appointment separately, but how did he manage to come up to the fifth floor?

Meldon began to explain calmly.

“Didn’t Miss show the pattern to someone 30 minutes ago?”

That was what Dalia intended. She nodded her head.

“I can track your location for 30 minutes after showing it. But since Miss came to a place like this, I was wondering if you were involved in something bad again.….”

‘Ah, I guess he thought I was being kidnapped again.’

Dalia was bewildered by the unexpected rescue signal she had sent. Meldon chuckled.

“But I’m glad that you’re okay. I feel sorry for the people downstairs.”

Looks like everyone was beaten.

Dalia inadvertently looked at Meldon’s hand. Fortunately or unfortunately, there was no blood on it.

On the other hand, she was wondering if Beolde would let them go safely even if the negotiations went well.

“Let’s go in first.”

Wayne told Dalia. She looked at Meldon.

“Since you’re here…… Do you want to go in with me?”

Even if it was a misunderstanding, he chased Dalia all the way here, but it didn’t seem polite to send him back now.

Besides, it will looked strange for him to go down here again.

How awkward would it be to meet Duke Artus again downstairs?

Originally, she thought that it would be reassuring to have at least one transcendent to accompany her when she met Beolde.

When she looked at Wayne to ask for permission, he also nodded.

It seems that Wayne didn’t want Beolde to misunderstand that he broke Duke Artus’ wrist.

“I’m okay with that.”

As expected, Meldon smiled mischievously.

Anyway, the group, who had grown from two to three, entered Beolde’s room.

In that room, a boy was half lying on a chair with his two long legs on a desk and his hands on his stomach.

He was a very handsome boy.

A porcelain like white forehead could be seen under the short golden hair.

The half-closed purple eyes had an alluring glow that did not suit the age.

A few buttons were loosely undone on the oversized shirt, and on the contrary, the pants fit properly.

Only after seeing the boy for a long time did Dalia realized that it was Beolde.

‘It wasn’t a boy.’

They said her growth stopped at the age of 20, but she was almost like a teenager of Cedric’s age, perhaps younger than most 20 years old.

‘I think she looks a bit like Cedric since she is his aunt.’

Then, Beolde raised her eyes.
