Chapter 110: Red Lotus
Some people were standing around the lobby to book rooms and many of them stopped what they were doing as they saw Mark and Arit walk through the doors. They were all rich aristocrats of high societal standing, but they could not stop the awe and surprise that came over them once they saw Mark. It was almost like seeing a god in the flesh!
After the performance that Mark showed the world in his fight against the Calamity Class, there wasn't a single person who doubted his overwhelming strength!
One of the women standing at the side quickly began to walk up to Mark and she spoke to him in a smooth, regal voice.
"Well, if it isn't Mark Vanitas. The Superman in the flesh. It is an honor."
Mark turned to the woman in surprise and he saw her stretching her hand out in front of him. What in the world did she want him to do with that? Does she want a handshake?
The woman started to feel foolish as Mark completely ignored her hand and she coughed slightly while retrieving it and holding onto her golden purse with both hands. She thought that Mark would take her hand and kiss it, but she felt embarrassed as Mark ignored her.
She was dressed in a regal attire of a pure black gown that went down to her ankles before spreading out beneath her. The gown was cut low at the chest, revealing enough cleavage to be considered sexy, and the back of the gown was non-existent, showing off her milky white skin and flawless figure. She was a beautiful woman and anyone around would give her attention if she spoke to them like this.
But it was too bad that she was up against someone like Arit. What could any woman do when Mark was already used to seeing someone as sexy as Arit every day? It was impossible for them to try and entice him using their looks.
Mark spoke up in an irritated tone.
"Do you need something from me?"
The woman was about to speak up and tell Mark to join her for dinner. She was going to try her hardest to seduce Mark and make him hers. Having someone like Mark by your side would definitely boost your standing in any place you go to. She didn't even care that Arit was standing beside Mark and holding his hand tightly.
As far as she was concerned, Arit was just a whore that Mark picked up from the street and it would be easy to make Mark forget about her.
"Would you -Urk!"
But before she could even get her words out, she felt something sinister press down on her like a physical thing. She furrowed her brow in shock and quickly turned to look at Arit, and what she saw there would haunt her for the rest of her life!
Yellow-slitted eyes were staring deep into her soul with bloodthirsty intensity! The woman couldn't see any knife, but she couldn't help but feel like there was a knife positioned right over her neck and ready to press down if she uttered even a single word more! This girl was going to kill her!
Mark could feel Arit's grip on his arm increasing in force, but it didn't make a difference to him due to his immense strength. He just used his other hand to pat Arit's arm calmly to tell her to calm down.
The woman swallowed in fear and took a step back. "N-No. There is nothing at all. I think... I think I made a mistake. Please enjoy your night."
The woman immediately began to walk away from the pair with sweat pouring down her brow like a fountain! She knew that she just barely escaped death and she decided that she would not be staying at this hotel tonight! She was terrified, and no matter how hard she tried, she would not be able to sleep knowing that that girl was in the same hotel as her.
She immediately called the attendant and told the attendant to book her a flight out of the city immediately! She had to leave! She had to get away from that monster!
Mark was surprised by how the woman suddenly started to walk away and he turned to look down at Arit. He saw Arit glaring at the woman and he just chuckled as he realized what must've happened. He leaned down and kissed Arit on top of her head, and Arit looked up at him with a pout as she tightened her hold on his hand.
Mark told her to calm down with a roguish smile on his face and Arit felt a blush rising on her cheek as she ducked her head and nodded. Arit couldn't even look at Mark without blushing like a preteen when he smiles like that! Mark was just too handsome when he smiles!
Mark forgot about the woman completely and started to walk towards the counter as his smile disappeared and was replaced with a worried frown. Did Arit know that her eyes just turned into yellow slits? From the way that Arit just reacted, Mark wasn't sure if Arit knew what just happened to her.
When she looked up at him, Mark could see that her eyes had changed into the yellow slits that QUEEN had in the cave and Arit didn't seem to have noticed. Mark was able to keep his cool and he told her to calm down, and thankfully, the eyes went back to her usual black once she was calm.
But Mark was getting worried. He already spoke to Pat and told him to get a doctor ready because he wanted to test Arit and make sure that there was not going to be any adverse mental side effects from what happened in the cave, but from the little moments that Mark already observed, Mark was certain that there would be some side effects.
The only question now was how much of a side effect there was, and if it was possible to repress it and prevent QUEEN from taking over.
The woman standing behind the receptionist desk was stunned for a few moments when Arit and Mark came into the hotel, but she did not waste any time as her training kicked into high gear and she quickly picked up the phone and called the manager.
In less than fifteen seconds, a beautiful woman came out from the elevator at the side and walked up to Mark and Arit before they could even get to the receptionist. This woman stopped them and spoke up with a smile on her face.
"Hello and welcome to the Red Lotus. It is a pleasure to be hosting you today. My name is Hanna Iverson and I will be available for anything you might need from the hotel today."
Hanna bowed to Mark and Arit, and Mark raised a brow as he saw how respectful she was being. This was definitely not normal and Mark knew that the only reason they were doing it was because he was GHOST. But that did not matter to him since it made things easier.
"I came to meet Patrick in the penthouse. He's expecting me."
Hanna's eyes immediately widened in shock once she heard this! GHOST knew that rich second-generation young master!?
