The Author's POV

Chapter 665

'Now that's what you call an entrance.'

An eerie silence filled the entire space. No one dared to budge even an inch in Malik Alshayat's presence.

Malik Alshayatin was able to instill fear in the minds of those present in the room simply by making his presence known; as a result, he was in a position to seize control of the situation.

All of the individuals who were present were at the very highest levels of the human domain, and yet, none dared to look at him in the eyes.

This went to show how scary of an individual he was.

It was reassuring to learn that the top ten rankers were not the least bit anxious, with Octavious appearing to be the most composed of the bunch.

He slowly raised his right hand to call everyone's attention to himself so that he could speak.

"Calm down, he's not actually here. It's just a projection. "

"Sharp as always, Octavious."

Malik Alshayatin's gaze continued to be unruffled as it traveled from one person to the next among those in attendance.

He appeared to be smiling only slightly as he slouched back in his chair and mumbled something.

"Don't worry too much about me, you can continue with your meeting. I'm just here to listen. Treat me as if I don't exist."

"We can't do that."

For the first time in my life, Octavious appeared to be a proper leading figure as he interacted calmly with Hemlock.

He looked extremely composed and serious.

His calmness was directly transmitted to the others, who appeared to have calmed down as a result of his poise.

It was possible that he was just as shocked as the other people in the room, or that he really didn't care. However, I was aware that if the most powerful person in the room became nervous, the rest of the group would also become nervous.

His composure was able to calm everyone present.

'Oh right, now that I think about it, don't I have to meet him later?'

I indeed recalled the fact that I was supposed to meet him right after this meeting was over.

We needed to talk about a couple of important things.

"...That's a pity. It looks like I'm not wanted here."

Hemlock lowered his head, his expression crestfallen.

I shook my head when I saw him.

He was clearly having fun.

It was most impressive that he managed to infiltrate this location, but in retrospect, given his strength, which was in a league of its own, and the fact that Kevin had planned this, it wasn't all that surprising.

At least for me.

The same could not be said for the others, who cautiously eyed each other out of fear that one of them was being watched by another spy who was hiding among them.

This was the kind of response that Hemlock hoped to provoke with his appearance.

He wanted to make everyone paranoid. Make it seem as though he had his hands in everything, and make everyone feel hopeless.

Well, at least that was how it was supposed to be.
