Dispute

Dispute The street in front of the Ace hotel has a few passersby that managed to witness the scene of Syr and the other young girl bumping into each other. They also noticed the luxurious custom made dress of the young girl, and instantly understood her to be from the high society in the city. The personality of most of the scions or descendants of the powerful families is always different from the rest whether in terms of their worldviews, especially in the capital city of the main planet. The accident in front of them is clearly the fault of the young girl, so they watched with interest as the dazed young girl sitting on the ground of the street finally have the realization of what happened as her expression flickered with the shade of her fair skin turning red from anger and humiliation. Cleo Martin’s beautiful face burned and twisted at the shame of being pushed down on the ground in front of so many people. This is the first time for her to experience being in the limelight for something so embarrassing. A burst of uncontrollable fury ignited from her heart to her head as Cleo clenched her fists tightly until her pink nails are digging into her flesh. A spark of red flashed across her pupils before vanishing due to the least bit of reason that she has. Cleo wanted to cruelly burn down the person that made her look hilarious in the eyes of many people, but although the ancestrals are privileged in the entire territory of the human civilization, killing indiscriminately using their powers is still an act of looking for death. The military command of the human civilization is not one of the four pillars for nothing. Even the Ancestral bloodline star headquarters could not fight with them if the one in the wrong is the ancestral. Cleo hatefully glared at Syr with her eyes full of venom and malicious intent that did not escape Syr’s notice. Syr did not want to pay attention to this small interlude at first, because it could still be deemed as a small accident as long as both of them apologizes, but the hideous look on the young lady in front of her clearly states that she will not let this thing go. Syr wanted to complain. She just wanted to eat at a luxurious restaurant because of her fondness for the food of this new world, but a headache approached her on its own initiative. Did she really get lucky after the reincarnation or did she use up all her luck in one go? “YOU- HOW DARE YOU PUSH ME?” Cleo finally exploded after seeing the nonchalant expression on the person in front of her. What further intensified her fury is the face of the other. How could she stomach someone looking better than her? And that someone did something so unforgivable that Cleo really wanted to murder her at this moment. A vain person like Cleo would not be able to accept such an obvious comparison, especially with the strange looks that she is getting from the surrounding crowd. Their eyes clearly held amazement while looking at her offender, while not one of them gave Cleo a glance that appreciated her beauty. She stomped on the ground after menacingly standing up, and even without her initiative, the fire element sleeping in her blood surge like boiling magma that scattered a heat wave across the street. Many of those in the crowd did not notice anything peculiar in their surroundings, they just thought that the temperature is getting hotter with the approaching summer season, but Syr’s sharp golden pupils flashed at Cleo’s body for a second before retracting her gaze the moment she saw the red lines flowing in Cleo’s veins. ‘A fire elemental mage…it seems that this young lady is an awakened ancestral of the human race.’ Syr thoughtfully gathered the information on her mind about the privileged ancestrals. It is really similar to the powers and races of Meos that it made Syr wonder whether there is a connection between the two, though with the 500 billion population of the human race to only awaken 5000 ancestrals, Syr found it disappointing but natural. The humans of this era are already in a different timeline than that of their ancestors, so awakening the power of their bloodline is already a feat worthy for an individual to feel proud and arrogant for generations to come. “It wasn’t only my fault, but I apologize for bumping on you.” Syr did not want trouble at the first day that she got to tour around the new and foreign world that she is in now going to live in, but that doesn’t mean she’s afraid of a mere fire elemental mage. The mesmerizing and alluring smell of food is trickling her nose and making her tummy rumble, Syr’s eyes has already placed its attention behind the fuming Cleo to the entrance of the hotel that is named Ace which she just noticed after walking over. Cleo’s anger rushed to her head as she took in the casual attitude of the girl in front of her. She took a step forward with her right arm raised ready to land a slap on Syr’s left cheek. “You b***h- DO YOU THINK I CARE WHOSE FAULT IT IS?” “You should have moved out of the way when you saw me walking on the same way!” Syr’s casual and relaxed expression on her exquisite face receded at the sight of the approaching palm in front of her. The girl in front of Syr and the twin younger sisters that she has share a cunning resemblance in being born with holes in their brain. Syr lightly took a step back to avoid the slap on her cheek before turning to the side and extending her right leg that immediately resulted in Cleo Martin stumbling forward forcefully like a cosmic ship without any breaks. Syr’s miniscule movements are too fast for the spoiled Cleo to notice. She might be trained in using her powers, but her physical ability is nothing in front of someone like Syr who could be considered as the only real live ancestral that directly came from the distant past. Cleo did not expect that the lowly girl in front of her would evade and even trip her. The stinging pain on the soft flesh of her face along with the rustic smell of blood rushing through her nose made a ringing sound to go off inside her head due to the shock and incredulity of the situation where someone would dare to do this kind of thing to her. ‘Does this lowly girl not know who I am?’ Cleo did not question herself wrong. Almost all of the people in the crowd have already recognized Cleo’s identity, especially with her recent popularity in the star network about the news of her breaking the engagement with the third son of the Union leader. Syr is the oddball one for not reading the news or even browsing the star network as she is still familiarizing herself through most of the amazing functions of the technology of this era. Syr did not bother with the vain and hot-tempered young lady in front of her as she entered the Ace hotel’s lounge area and turned to the entrance of the restaurant. It does not look vulgar even with the luxury design, and it is also not Syr’s concern as she quickly found a spot in a secluded corner of the restaurant before a waiter came and took her order. It is a high-end restaurant branched by the hotel itself, and the service is top notch. Syr’s orders came quickly, and the mere sniff of the heavenly fragrance of steak and wine made her mood climb up over the moon, quickly forgetting the small quarrel that she had with Cleo. Of course, Cleo will not even forget Syr’s face with the accumulating anger inside her heart that could not be released. Cleo wanted to pull Syr back but the swelling pain in her left ankle did not allow her to even move from lying face down on the street, and her eyes turned red in murderousness after being helped by her driver who hastily came over after her call. Cleo sat gloomily inside her cosmic ship’s lounge area. Her bloodshot eyes, bleeding lips from being bitten too much by her, the bulging veins on her white neck and temples silenced the personal assistant standing behind her. The personal assistant of Cleo could not imagine that while preparing for the cosmic ship of her boss, an unfortunate thing like that would happen, and it is her boss that loses the grounds this time. The Cleo Martin, a privileged ancestral that awakened as a flame elemental mage was left fuming dangerously like a crazed young lady due to an unknown girl seemingly to be of the same age as her.
