Chapter 97: Book of Knowledge
Trafalgar Square, the iconic plaza in the heart of London, has served as a backdrop in 48 well-known films. This landmark is often chosen for scenes requiring the city's distinctive atmosphere, with its magnificent fountains and the majestic lion statues. Locals are accustomed to seeing film crews scattered there, setting up cameras and spotlights, while tourists and onlookers gather at the fringes to witness the filming process.
Among the predominantly Caucasian crowd, a striking young Asian man stood out. His slightly messy brown hair and sharp eyes made him noticeable.
The young man was Rokuhara Ren, the Seventh Campione, one of the few humans standing at the pinnacle of the world's power.
On one hand, his appearance was enough to overwhelm most people, and on the other hand, the inexplicable aura he exuded made others hesitant to approach.
Although Ren did not intentionally flaunt his aura, the confidence stemming from his immense power made many feel incapable of competing with him in any aspect just by looking at him.
"He's an acquaintance of mine, let him through."
Suddenly, a soft and flirtatious voice was heard. A woman walked closer, wearing an elegant long coat even though her hair was still styled for her role in the film. She was one of the actresses filming that day. The security guards nodded respectfully and cleared the way.
Ren stepped past the security barrier, then smiled at the woman—Nakano Ichika, his sister-in-law who had become a national actress in Japan and was beginning to enter the international market.
"I saw you acting earlier, Ichika-san. You really look like a different person in front of the camera. Your acting was amazing." Ren complimented in a relaxed tone.
Ichika smiled broadly, slightly puffing out her already prominent chest.
"Ren-kun can praise Onee-san even more, you know~." She replied in a flirtatious tone, then linked her arm with Ren's and led him to the staff tent.
