Supreme Lord: I can extract everything!



'Isn't that the fierce beauty?'

Michael was not sure why he thought about Alice Zenovia when he looked at the young man, but they looked eerily similar. Their similarities were too many to be a coincidence.

While looking at the young man, Michae forgot about Niklas completely. His eyes followed the young man and Jasmine Blade, until he heard some of his former classmates murmuring.

"Isn't that Kaleb Zenovia? Why is he here?" 

"Didn't you hear? The Zenovia family and the Blade family are going to join hands together. The arranged marriage between Jasmine and Kaleb is quite an old piece of news now."

'That's the fierce beauty's brother?' Michael realized. It made sense. That is why they seemed so similar to him. 

He felt that Kaleb looked rather beautiful than handsome. 

'I bet that he was often mistaken as a girl when he was younger.'

Now that he was pondering about their relation, Michael recalled that Alice had said something about her brother and his soon-to-be fiance when they first met after his final exam.

"Right, she was told to watch the final exam of her brother's soon-to-be fiance," Michael mumbled. 

He smiled faintly and used the opportunity to step back.

Even if Michael wanted to show Niklas that he was far from useless, that he was stronger than his family's wealth and connections were useless in the face of incompetence, he could tell that the time was not ripe.

It was much better to feast on the buffet than bothering about Niklas and his subordinates. Food was much higher in his priority list than these idiots. They could be taken care of once his stomach was filled to the brim. 

Michael was one of the few people who were focusing on the buffet right now. Most graduates wanted to make sure that their connections with the other graduates could be maintained in the future, while others would enjoy themselves by drinking, or dancing with their beloved. 

Michael didn't have any friends in school and was a loner. He was the only student with an ordinary background, who made it into the elite class of the most prestigious school in the Golden Sun province. Thus, he was looked down upon by almost everyone.

Even if some wouldn't look down on him, approaching him with good intentions could be considered as volunteering to be bullied. Hence, most of the students steered clear of him too.

But Michael was fine with that. In fact, it was much easier for him to be a lone wolf. He didn't have to be considerate to anyone and could focus on his food!

At least that was something what Michael hoped for.

Unfortunately, it didn't take long before the atmosphere of the afterparty changed for the worse.

Just as Michael approached the big spit-roasted pig to get a taste of it, goosebumps appeared on his body. His heightened perception told him that something was wrong, and his body moved backward instictively. 

A moment later, an azure streak flashed past his eyes. The azure flash cut through the air and pierced the apple placed in the spit-roasted pig's mouth.

It was an arrow. 

Someone had shot an arrow through the auditorium without a care for the safety of the people at the buffet!

Michael hadn't been right next to the spit-roasted pig but a single miscalculation would have cost his life!

Michael's head flicked to the direction from which the arrow had flown towards him in anger. He thought that it could have been Niklas Liekhoven, who wanted to make fun of him, but the archer holding the bowstring was actually Kaleb Zenovia!

Kaleb Zenovia was standing next to Jasmine Blade with a smug expression on his face. He was surrounded by a small crowd of women who seemed to have joined Kaleb's fan club and were openly admiring him. They squealed loudly and a few even clapped when they saw that Kaleb's arrow pierced the center of the apple precisely.

Their squeals and Jasmine's praises were enough to make a smile blossom on Kaleb's face.

Initially, he wanted to act a little tough in front of his girlfriend. However, since he was only 17 years old and not yet a Lord, he could only show off the skills he attained after undergoing rigorous training since he was young. 

He was famed as an exceptional talented archer, which was why he gave everyone a little demonstration of his skill.

His plan worked out perfectly. Jasmine was in awe and everyone's attention had been pulled over to him.

He cleared his throat after he thought of something and made an announcement.

"Everyone, let's have some fun tonight. How about a small competition?" 

The auditorium erupted in an uproar when they heard what Kaleb said. He wanted to turn the afterparty of their graduation ceremony into a competition? Who the hell did he think he was?

Well…he was Kaleb Zenovia…and his suggestion earned thunderous cheers from the newest members of his fan club, and his girlfriend.

Meanwhile, many guys were both excited and agitated simultaneously. They wanted to show off what they had learned as well, but they were also bothered because Kaleb deliberately acted to attract the attention of all women. 

He was not even an Awakened yet, but he felt that it was necessary to show off his skills. Was it even possible to be more arrogant than this young man?

It hadn't been long since they graduated but almost a third of the graduates had already manifested their War Rune. Niklas's Tierless War Rune was already refined to the Mid Stage as well. His strength, perception and eyesight were much stronger than that of an ordinary human. Furthermore, he had been trained from a young age as well.

In fact, Niklas was not alone. Everyone had been trained from a young age, and many had already manifested their War Rune. Despite that, Kaleb wanted to hold a competition against them? Wasn't he too full of himself?

They walked over to Kaleb Zenovia and readily showed their interest in joining the competition, without caring about the competition's subject. They didn't want to give Kaleb the opportunity to act high and mighty in front of them. Their pride was on the line!

On the other hand, Michael was just angry.

No matter whose family Kaleb came from, he shouldn't have shot an arrow at the buffet while being amidst so many people. 

First of all, they were not in a training facility for archers. It was forbidden to go around and shoot arrows wherever one wanted.

Second, Kaleb didn't seem to take the safety of others into consideration. A single mistake could have cost someone's life. Kaleb's action had been reckless and utterly selfish. 

And last but not least, Michael was not hungry anymore after Kaleb shot the apple in the spit-roasted pig's mouth, which had been less than five meters away from him. 

While Michael could accept the first point, the second made him angry. As for the third point, it was more than enough for him to start loathing Kaleb.

Nobody, not even his brother, was daring enough to make him lose his appetite, even less when he had been happily saving up some space in his stomach to savor the spit-roasted pig at the end. He had been eager to relish the flavors and savor every bite, yet Kaleb made him lose his appetite. 

That was the worst sin anyone could commit!!
