Hours passed since they had revealed their true feelings to each other.

The gasps and moans that had filled their room had been replaced by silence and heavy breathing.

Jennifer lay in the bed, her hand thrown over his chest.

She was hugging him tightly, not giving him any room to even move.

He was panting a little and sweat shone on his forehead.

Like a cat, she had curled her body and was nudging deeper into his embrace, feeling the most secure right there.

Meanwhile, Jason was feeling her warmth on his body that helped him feel relaxed.

This made it seem as if his worries had dispersed, and almost like he and Jennifer were the last living existences in the entire universe.

He was not sure why he was thinking like that, but it was certainly not a bad feeling, which caused Jason to smile vibrantly.

Exhausted from the efforts he had made during the last few hours, and the previous arduous weeks and even months, his eyes were slowly falling shut.

Falling in a deep slumber without any worries tormenting his mind, he entered a state of deep sleep that hadn't happened in a very long time.

All these past months he had been worried about finding Jennifer, saving her, and then killing Lux.

As such, he had never really been at rest. And with her in his embrace, he felt like everything was right with the world for now.

It was something Jason deserved after everything he had done.

Just like that, an unknown amount of time had passed.

So when he finally woke up and drowsily opened his eyes, Jason saw Jennifer look at him.

Her eyes shone with happiness he hadn't seen on her face since reuniting with her.

She was still lying in his arms, tightly holding on to him, while her head rested on his bare chest.

The moment he moved, Jennifer lifted her head and looked into his eyes lovingly.

Jason was still drowsy and meant to rub his eyes when she reached for his face and captured his lips in hers.

A moan escaped his lips as she gave him a deep kiss before greeting him in a cheerful voice.

"Morning."

It was just a single word, but Jason couldn't help but feel that it was overflowing with Jennifer's emotions.

This caused him to smile brightly as he gently stroked through her silky hair before returning her kiss.

"Morning, Jen."

After that, Jason sensed his little demon twitch once again. Yet, instead of giving in to his body's demands to start over the pleasurable, but arduous procedure from the day before, Jason simply embraced her.

He was waiting for his drowsiness to disappear, but even after that happened, he didn't want to let go of her.

Everything was so peaceful, and the entire universe seemed to have magically become a place without issues.

Unfortunately, this peace stayed only for a short time because Jason had already perceived that someone was approaching one room after another.

He was unsure what this could mean, but one possible explanation could be that the Yinar race wanted everyone to gather up, including them.

The knocking on his door was the final evidence that his presumption was, at least, partially correct.

While Jennifer flinched the moment she heard the knock on the door, Jason just stroked her hair before stepping out of the bed.

Picking up the pants he quickly put them on, while smoothly picking up the shirt he had thrown over the floor.

Thus, while opening the door, he clothed himself, only to face a young woman who seemed to be around the same age as the other youths he had encountered before.

Upon accidentally seeing his muscular upper body for a moment, the young woman's cheeks turned red, as if they were burning.

However, the feeling of her burning cheeks only intensified when she looked into his eyes. His face was not only spotlessly clean but a unique blend between being beautiful yet otherworldly handsome.

Yet, all of this was nothing against his powerful presence, causing her to swallow her saliva.

Meanwhile, Jason could only smile oddly seeing her reaction before he wanted to figure out the reason for her not-so-nice intrusion.

"How can I help you, little girl?" He thus asked with a subtle smile on his face that melted her heart within seconds.

"E-hHello Sir! I..I was told to inform you that everyone belonging to the gathering of the foreign race's messengers is supposed to have lunch together.

This has been a tradition of our small city, and my Master has requested your presence as well.

It might interest you, he said, and my master will also be there."

With each spoken word, the young girl's voice grew low, and the last words that were chaotically spoken could barely be heard by Jason.

He was not sure what was going on with the girl in front of him, but as he intently listened to her words, Jason couldn't help but be intrigued.

Within moments, he forgot about the interruption of his peace as he returned to reality while nodding his head.

"Where are they having lunch, and how can I go there? I don't know anything about this place yet."

The questions he asked were something Jason could answer by himself.

If he were to use the Emperor Eyes with a little bit of mana, it would be possible for him to find the dining hall without issues.

However, that might have made everybody around him a little suspicious because he had spent all his time inside his room without going out.

Thus, he had asked these questions to not attract unwanted attention.

"It might be a little bit tricky to find the dining hall, but I can wait for you Sir until you get ready that is no problem at all! I'll be your guide!!" She said enthusiastically with a vivid smile on her face.

Nodding his head, while thanking her, Jason excused himself for a moment.

Stepping back, he revealed the interior of his room before the wooden door was closed once again.

Yet, the moment the young girl's eyes fell on the bed inside Jason's room, she stiffened, standing in the middle of the passageway like a statue.

When Jason had stepped back, the young girl had seen Jennifer lying in the bed, hiding under the blankets, and struggling to find her clothes.

This caused her earlier bright expression to sour in a moment as she sighed inwardly.

'Ohof course, he has someone'

While the young girl was contemplating the situation in her mind, Jason told Jennifer what they were going to do.

For a minute Jason debated if he should wear overly formal clothes or something that was neither too casual nor formal clothes.

In the end, he had no idea what kind of gathering this was, and instead of making a big mistake, and spoiling his first impression, Jason decided to wear his combat clothes.

If the worst-case scenario were to occur, he could still say that he was always prepared to fight.

This was, in fact, something he wanted to convey because, in an unknown place, something could always go wrong.

Thus, the moment the two of them wore their clothes, he opened the door towards the hallway.

"We are ready, let's go," Jason said, ignoring the depressed expression on the young girl's face as she replied with a monotonous answer,

"YesSir"

Meanwhile, Jennifer could barely hold back her smile, feeling that she had won over the girl, even without the need to lift a finger. Her face shone with pride when she saw the girl and her slightly disappointed face.

Jason simply ignored that and followed the young girl. His eyes were already focused on the direction of the dining hall, which he could see.

There were many lengthy tables with large groups of humans from Argos sitting together, talking about something.

Yet, the majority of people were trying to stay close to one particular table.

This was the table on which the familiar mysterious energy fluctuations from one of the Specta stage powerhouse they had encountered radiated from.

It was Jan's father, and Jason did not doubt that the young girl's master was Jan's father.

As such, he followed the young girl closely with a slight trace of interest coursing through his body.

Yet, the moment they entered the dining hall, all gazes were slowly drawn towards them, confusing to flash in Jason's mind.

However, this confusion was quickly dispersed when he saw the brightly glowing appearance of Jennifer, which caused him to understand everything.

'Ah, rightJennifer reverted to her original appearance!'
