Chapter 232: Tensions and Intrigues

Amon equipped himself with magnetic armor. At the same time, over the armor, Amon wore a garment that was both comfortable and stylish. He wore a soft cotton shirt with a collar that fit snugly around his neck without being too tight. The color of the shirt was olive green, which perfectly complemented the color of his eyes. His pants were made of a lightweight fabric that was loose enough to allow for free air circulation, but still stylish enough to be appropriate for formal occasions. The color of the pants was light gray, which harmonized well with the color of the shirt.

To complement the look, Amon wore a pair of dark brown leather shoes that were comfortable enough to walk in for long periods, but also stylish enough to complement the rest of the outfit. He also wore a brown leather belt that matched the shoes.

Despite Heightened by his calm expression, Amon conveyed an image of sophistication and elegance in his outfit. The outfit was suitable for formal situations, but also comfortable enough to be worn in daily life. Amon maintained a discreet and confident appearance, true to his quiet and reserved personality.

As he left the room, he saw Julia waiting for him.

"That outfit is very elegant," Julia said, looking at Amon admiringly. "You look so confident and well-prepared for anything."

"Thank you," Amon replied with a small smile.

Julia said, smiling back at him, "You look handsome and attractive like this."

"I believe you do as well," Amon said, looking at Julia affectionately, "always so elegant and charming."

Julia had combined her natural beauty with a casual and comfortable style. She wore tight jeans that accentuated her slim figure, combined with a loose, yet cozy white blouse. Her feet were adorned with a pair of white sneakers, which allowed her to move with ease. She wore a small gold necklace, which added a touch of elegance to her look. Her dark blue hair was tied up in a high ponytail, while her makeup was light and natural.

With her bright purple eyes and well-defined features, Julia had a graceful and elegant appearance. Her clear and smooth skin perfectly complemented the casual and relaxed outfit. Overall, Julia looked attractive and charming.

Julia smiled even more, happy with Amon's compliment.

"Thank you. You're such a sweetheart," she said, touching his arm gently. "Shall we go?"

"Let's," Amon said, holding her hand as they walked together.

══════『🧬』══════

Maisa and Barbara saw Amon and Julia walking hand in hand and couldn't hide their feelings of envy. Although they had accepted the relationship between the two, it was hard to ignore the jealousy they felt seeing Amon, the man they both loved, walking with Julia and receiving such admiring looks. It was obvious that they were a beautiful couple, and there was a romantic tension around them that pushed other people away.

'Humph! When I walk with Amon, I also cause the same effect, I'm sure...' Maisa grumbled under her breath, but she couldn't help the feeling of envy that consumed her. Even being Julia's twin sister, she couldn't deny the sense of competition and jealousy she had towards Amon.

'Hehe... I'm still the first one who had their 'first time' with Amon,' Barbara thought with a silly smile on her face. She felt a little jealous of Julia, but she knew she had a special place in Amon's heart for being the first one to share such an intimate moment with him. This fact gave her a sense of confidence and superiority over the other girls.

Ariel, who saw all of this happening from the sidelines, had a mischievous smile on her face. She couldn't deny that it was delightful to see how interesting their relationship was, especially the way they behaved. She loved to see the drama and tension between Amon, Julia, Maisa, and Barbara's relationships and how they competed with each other.

However, deep down, she was worried. If she let herself be carried away by the moment, would she be like them? But shaking her head, Ariel denied that kind of thinking and smiled again in a devilish way.

Mabel, on the other hand, remained silent. It was as if nothing that was happening around her mattered. As someone focused entirely on her research on the elemental mental genetic rune, she had little interest in personal and emotional issues. It was understandable that it was hard to approach Mabel, as she was very focused on her research on the elemental mental genetic rune. Besides, Amon and the girls seemed to be the only people she had any closeness to at the university, except for her grandmother, Kaia.

Barbara and Maisa stepped forward and were the first to approach, even before Amon and Julia reached them. Amon evaluated the two girls with an attentive and careful look. He immediately noticed Maisa's delicate and striking appearance, with her long dark blue hair and expressive purple eyes. He also appreciated her curvaceous and athletic figure, although she had small breasts. On the other hand, he was impressed with Barbara's natural elegance and charm, with her bright red hair and intense green eyes. He admired her firm and confident posture and noticed how she was able to attract people's attention around her. In the end, Amon realized that both were incredible and unique girls in their own way.

"You both look simply stunning," praised Amon with a warm smile, his eyes scanning Maisa's delicate and charming features and Barbara's radiant elegance. "It's a pleasure to be in the presence of so much beauty and charm."

Amon's words seemed to calm the tension of the girls a bit, and they smiled shyly and thanked him for the compliment.

"You speak sweetly, hehe. You're very kind, Amon," said Barbara.

"I really appreciate your words," added Maisa.

After approaching Ariel and Mabel, they all chatted for a while before deciding to head toward the tower.

══════『🧬』══════

After arriving at the tower, their group went straight toward the teleport center. Upon arriving there, there was a line of people waiting to use the teleport circle, so they joined the queue.

"I'll be right back," Mabel suddenly said. She felt the need to use the restroom and decided to step away from the line to find one.

"Sure, no problem," Maisa said with an understanding smile. "We'll save your spot in line."

"Thanks." Thanking them, Mabel walked away.

A few seconds later...

The crowd turned to see a flying car approaching, identified as belonging to the Ice Phoenix Clan.

Soon the flying car stopped, and a very handsome man stepped out of the vehicle, walking slowly. This young man had long golden hair with straight eyebrows. He was 195 cm tall and looked well-proportioned. His muscles looked explosive. He looked intimidating, not to mention his passive traits were overwhelming - just his killer stare was enough to stop one's breath.

The man's intimidating expression indicated that he had real combat experience, not just a fake appearance.

"Huh, this guy looks strong," whispered Maisa.

Everyone agreed in unison.

The other women speculated about the reason why this man, whose appearance was comparable to a famous model, was approaching. With every step he took, in addition to his invincible aura, the icy snow formed wherever he went. His entrance was enough for everyone to realize that he was not to be messed with.

When he arrived in front of Amon, he suddenly stopped and looked at Amon and his entourage curiously. As his eyes fixed on Maisa, Julia, Barbara, and Ariel, he was slightly shocked. "Hmm? So many beauties. I wonder which planet these beautiful ladies could be from?"

The women felt that the man did not treat them with the proper respect and appreciation, but rather as mere objects of beauty. Moreover, the way he ignored Amon's presence was seen as arrogant and disrespectful. Maisa, Julia, Barbara, and Ariel were independent and strong women and did not like being reduced only to their appearance. They felt devalued and were unimpressed with the man's attitude. To put it bluntly, they were displeased and irritated with his behavior.

Mabel, who had returned to where Amon and the girls were, noticed the commotion that had occurred. She saw the handsome and cold man walking away and felt like she recognized him. Curious, she approached her friends and asked, "Did something happen? Did Lincoln say something?"

Maisa, with a disgusted expression, replied, "Nothing much. This guy's name is Lincoln? Tsk, I don't even know what's up with him, but I already hate him."

Julia, Barbara, and Ariel agreed with their friend and expressed their dissatisfaction with Lincoln's behavior, who had acted as if he were the center of the universe, completely ignoring Amon's presence. Mabel agreed but noticed something else about the guy.

She explained to her friends, "Oh, so that's it... Don't pay too much attention to it. This guy is just a hopeless narcissist. He's tried to pursue me before, and was shaken as if I had committed a crime by rejecting his advances."

At the same time, some people in the queue began to comment on Lincoln and his abilities.

"I know him! He's the number one genius of Heavenly Sword University! He's so cool! He's an actual conqueror!"

"Yes, look at his aura, look at his ability. Just by walking in, I can feel his icy aura. He is indeed the number one genius. Very powerful!"

"Of course! He is the chosen successor of the Ice Phoenix Clan, the clan with the greatest combat power among the clans with Overlords as elders. It's no joke!"

Mabel recognized that Lincoln's fame and abilities were well known, but even still, his attitude was not acceptable.
