Chapter 28: What a Small Circle

I thought she would say with disdain that she dislikes immature people without real ability, indirectly implying that she looks down on ordinary men. Who knew she wouldn’t even deign to answer the question…

Heh. Such a powerful sense of superiority could also very easily lead to losing control during later advancement…

Klein could not help grumbling inwardly.

In his understanding, Beyonders were merely human beings who possessed additional abilities. In essence, they were no different from people with great wealth or high status. They still retained human attributes and could not detach themselves from society. Only upon reaching Sequence 4 would a qualitative transformation take place.

Moreover, most demigods still remained active in human society. Even Will Auceptin, a Sequence 1 Snake of Fate, was properly spending his days as an unborn fetus… Perhaps only beings at the level of the Blasphemer Amon could truly gaze upon the real world from the perspective of a “god”…

Klein’s thoughts turned, and he took the initiative to speak.

“My apologies. I was once a merchant who often traveled between the Northern and Southern Continents, and I do not have much experience with balls. Heh, I mean balls of this kind.”

“It is all right,” Hazel replied calmly, as if she did not care at all whether he had brought up the previous topic.

Had it been someone else, they likely would no longer have known how to chat with this haughty young lady and could only focus on dancing. But Klein could now be considered broad in knowledge and rich in experience. He possessed sufficient understanding of the mysterious world and different kinds of Beyonders. Taking advantage of the apology, he smiled and said, “For me, this is no simpler a challenge than the sea. It likewise has beautiful scenery, while hiding countless difficulties.

“Of course, the sea also carries all kinds of stories about treasure. Some are obviously false, while others sound real yet are impossible to verify—such as the top-ranked ‘Key of Death.’”

“Key of Death?” Hazel raised her head and looked at Mr. Dawn Dantes, who was considerably taller than her.

As expected, Beyonders with a strong sense of superiority always grow interested in matters touching on the mysterious…

Klein laughed inwardly and gave a light nod.

“Yes. It is said that somewhere secret in the Berserk Sea…”

He selectively recounted the treasure legends he had once heard aboard the White Agate, adding further details he had heard during his later adventuring life.

In the process, he inevitably mentioned the Four Kings and the Seven Pirate Admirals.

Hazel was clearly interested in this. Rarely, she began responding to Klein and even occasionally asked questions. This made the dance between the two of them no longer awkward, and before they noticed it, the song had reached its end.

Klein skillfully brought the topic to a close and asked, “Would you like to return to where you were, or would you prefer to take some food over there?”

After finishing a dance, a gentleman had to follow the lady’s wishes and escort her wherever she wished to go. It did not necessarily have to be her original position.

Hazel parted her lips as if wanting to ask more, but in the end, she did not say those words. With reserved dignity, she nodded.

“Where I was just now.”

Heh. She’s clearly reluctant to let go of those sea stories… She’s just an oversized problem child. Once her temperament and interests are understood, she’s not that difficult to get along with…

Holding back a smile, Klein escorted Hazel back to the edge of the dance floor, to the spot where she had originally stood.

As for himself, he naturally walked with seemingly casual ease toward the long tables filled with various foods. Picking up a plate, he took a serving of pan-fried dragonbone fish and paired it with sliced veal in black pepper sauce.

Compared with dancing and socializing, food is the true essence of…
