"What did you talk about?"

Courtney was the one to ask such a question. Her boldness had reached heights never seen before. And this was what I had done to her, and I was proud of it.

"It wasn't something too serious. She only wanted to know if I was trying in the fight."

"Were you?"

"I was lucky."

That was all I had to say. Due to the conditions of the fight, I had an advantage and used that opportunity to win. Serena was caught off guard and lost the fight. If we were to fight again, the outcome would be much different.

Some knew what I meant, while those adept at fighting had no idea what I meant. I ended the discussion about Serena with that.

"Charles. Congratulations on your victory."

Agnus had come over and congratulated me on my victory. His job as a host was finished, so he came over and started to talk.

"I didn't expect that I would have to win my battle like that. Shouldn't you visit Serena? She looks crestfallen after her defeat."

"Is that so? I see... Then I will go ahead. I hope you enjoy this party."

Agnus didn't know how Serena felt. Since Agnus had some connections with her, she was a priority for our conversation.

"Who would have thought you were this kind~?"

"Kind? I just wanted to chill. We didn't have much time together with all these interruptions."

While I admired Agnus for his power, I didn't see him as someone I would want to talk to casually. The party was here to make me relax. That is what I hope to do, at the very least.

Dealing with seven females was something I had gotten used to at this point--the six girls I have and Helen were having fun talking to me. It wasn't before long that the end of the party was near.

*Boom*

At the end of the party, an explosion occurred. My body and the girls' bodies were blown to pieces, which surprised all of us.

I couldn't see what happened to the others, but I doubt the situation looked promising. All the girls with me were as good as new in a few seconds.

"Charles..."

Some of them were worried about the situation. There were no problems I couldn't deal with here. I tried to calm everyone in my group and stop them from panicking.

As for the others, I had applied immortality to everyone alive. The explosion already killed the dead people. I didn't have the power to revive someone miraculously. Maybe if I turned them into zombies, then that would work.

"Heh! Do you fuckers think you can win without any repercussions? With this, my mission is now complete."

An unharmed spoke in glee. With a sense of accomplishment, the bomber tried to commit suicide. Of course, I wouldn't let the party crasher do so without taking any repercussions. Before he could kill himself, I turned him into an immortal and bound him to the ground.

"You think you can get away scot-free? Did you know why the ZTF lost?"

"What???"

I took the poison he had tried to swallow and disintegrated it. The man before me was supposed to die here without being captured.

"What do you mean!"

"Do you know the real reason why the ZTF had lost so much power? Because of me, I spread that disease and killed billions of people in your alliance.

"I had also killed the innocent and used them to instill hatred in your group. You won't die here. I will make sure. And anyone else you care about will be destroyed."

Only the top brass of our organization knew the information I had given them. Not even my enemies knew what I could do. I told the person on the ground what I had done, and he looked at me like I was a monster.

"Do you know why I'm telling you this? It's because you won't have anyone to tell."

What's so good about a secret that can't be told? The secret I had told him was silence. Even if he thought about what I said, I cursed him for being unable to do what I stated.

"Charles..."

Agnus had returned with Serena. Serena would have been blown to pieces if she had been here. It was a good thing Agnus was with her.

"Yo! I had captured the suicide bomber. I would assume you want him."

I picked up the body and threw it toward Agnus' feet. Agnus looked pissed upon finding our attacker.

"You can beat him up or whatever. I had given him high regeneration powers."

Even if the attacker was an enemy, he should know who the person in front was. Agnus was a powerhouse on the enemy side. Missing such a piece of information would be stupid.

"I appreciate your help. Thank you for helping my men."

"It wasn't much."

Now that I had done what I could, Agnus' gratitude toward me had increased. Once he turned his head toward the suicide bomber, his expression did a one-eighty.

Observing Agnus, I had never seen him this angry. If he had no self-control, none of us would have gotten out without being harmed.

He then went to the podium and looked around. There was a massive frown when he looked at the damage done to the place. The explosion of the bomber had almost blown up the entire place. Only the lucky few were unharmed, and as for the dead people, at least they had a quick and painless death.

Agnus looked like he was going to have a headache. The problems he would have to face from this incident would make anyone feel like shit.

"Everyone. I apologize for what happened today. Due to our lack of security, an unfortunate accident has occurred. For those who attended this event, we will compensate you for this trouble. The party is over, so I suggest you leave this place."

From Agnus' words alone, the party was officially over. Most guests were unsatisfied with what had happened but couldn't say anything. Complaining to an overpowering boss would give them more trouble than needed.

"Helen. Do you want to come over to visit?"

Since Claire and her mother hadn't seen each other in a while, I might as well ask.

"Oh? Are you flirting with me~? I didn't think you would be bold enough to take us, mother and daughter~."

"..."

Helen took my motive to be an impure gesture. I had nothing else to say and waited for her answer.

"Maybe another time. My friends and I had already made plans~. I also have to check up on them~."

She could have said that sooner. We all bid her farewell. Once there was nothing else to do, we left the party and returned home.

"Your mom is pretty weird."

Claire heard what I said and blushed from embarrassment. She knew her mother's personality but could do nothing about it. We all had giggles upon seeing Claire's embarrassed face. Once we returned home, I checked on each person's mental health.

"Courtney, how are you feeling?"

Courtney was the first person I checked since she was affected the most out of the group.

"Look! I got a five-star!!!"

To think Courtney had shrugged the incident off with her game. My concern over her had diminished as I watched her play the game without much worry. My presence around her had disappeared as she continued to play the game.

"..."

I gently closed the door to her room, knowing she was fine. Next up was Rose. While she wasn't shaken, I could tell that she was tense.

"Rose, are you feeling better?"

Rose was on her bed, looking up at the ceiling. I could tell that she had a lot of things to think about as I observed her face.

"I'm feeling much better than expected."

Her calm voice was proof of that. Everyone here was more substantial than I thought. To her surprise, she was surprised to see me embrace her so suddenly.

"I didn't expect you to do this."

"Think of this as a reward for being a big brave girl."

"Can I then get you to stay with me alone because you're such a brave girl?"

Using my words against me, Rose pulled me toward her on the bed. Unable to resist her charm, Rose seduced me for the night.

The other girls should be okay. I checked on everyone in Rose's room and saw none of them concerned about the party.

"Since the big brave girl wants me to stay, why should I reject it?"

For the whole night, I spent my time with Rose doing many things. Her art of seduction had improved by a mile, making it hard for me not to look away from her.

The incident at the party was just another day for me that I had forgotten about, with other essential things to think about.
