Amidst the stunned gazes of the crowd, Eryke remained completely unresponsive.
"Is there no Awakener nearby in such a big city?" he asked with a frown.
He didn't want to be in the limelight just yet. Once he underwent his Awakening ceremony, he knew he would inevitably attract the world's attention.
Until then, he wanted to continue gathering strength through his clones.
Unfortunately, that plan might now go awry.
He glanced at the girl and the others, who were staring at him in stunned silence.
Even the chaotic crowd seemed to freeze, becoming strangely peaceful in that moment.
Everyone's attention was fixed on Eryke, refusing to shift away.
Geneva noticed the situation almost immediately and stood up with a cough, a faint blush breaking through her professional demeanor.
"Let's talk after we get in the car," she said, turning around and walking outside.
"Okay," Eryke replied casually.
"Umm, sorry for—" the girl began, flustered, but Eryke interrupted her.
