Chapter 66 - 9.7 : Mistaken for a Spy
After leaving the forest and ensuring the entire operation ended without a trace, Al decided not to head straight home.
The night was still young, and his body needed energy.
Sure, he could go days without eating thanks to his training and special abilities—but sometimes, he still wanted to enjoy human food... as a reminder that he was still part of that world.
A modern restaurant in the city center, not far from the shoreline, caught his attention.
Warm light spilled through its glass windows, illuminating an elegant, upscale interior—a place often favored by high-ranking officials or elite families wanting a relaxed dinner with a scenic view of the sea.
Al approached. But before he could enter, his steps froze.
Through the wide glass window, he saw David—the very person he had wanted to investigate, but had been too busy to follow up on lately—sitting comfortably, enjoying a luxurious dinner.
David was seated at a table near the edge of the room, the spot with the best view of the ocean. Across from him sat Fani, a bright young woman known as Clarista’s close friend and David’s private tutor during his national exam preparations.
The atmosphere between them... seemed intimate. And Clarista was nowhere to be seen.
David gazed at Fani with warm eyes—a look that could easily be misunderstood. His hand reached out, brushing against hers, gently playing with her fingers on the table. Fani, though her cheeks flushed faintly, didn’t pull away. She simply lowered her head shyly, a faint smile on her lips—not the kind you’d expect between a tutor and her student.
Fani was indeed attractive, with a quiet charm that was hard to ignore. Her appearance might have been formal and modest, but her natural beauty shone through effortlessly.
A slender, well-proportioned figure. Black hair tied into a neat ponytail, drawing attention to the graceful line of her neck. Fair skin, almost pale, contrasted by softly blushed lips that hinted at a sensuality she seemed to deliberately hide.
