I Can Transform Into Any Monster
Chapter 66: Party

Chapter 66: Party

"Ehmmm!" In front of the beautiful figure of Madam Sofia, with her status as a widow, Paul had to clear his throat first.

"Sofia, I have a request," he said after clearing his throat.

Madam Sofia furrowed her brows even deeper upon hearing that.

In this situation, what else could he possibly want from her?

After all, she had only purchased one item.

"Speak," replied Madam Sofia, not immediately refusing him.

If it was something short-term like Luis, she could grant the request.

"I want to borrow your Double Power Mirror. Just for one week, after which I’ll definitely return it. I really need it right now. Unfortunately, my supply of Monster Cores is too limited. I only have one weapon left. If you agree, I’ll pay you handsomely," said Paul.

Luis had already predicted that he wanted to borrow the Double Power Mirror from Madam Sofia.

But a whole week—of course, this wasn’t something easily agreed to.

Madam Sofia, who had been frowning, now pouted slightly.

"Sorry Paul, I don’t think I can lend it to you," replied Madam Sofia.

Her tone was polite, but her refusal made it clear she wasn’t open to negotiation.

For a moment, Paul froze, then pouted.

"Sofia, I really need it. I’ll also owe you a favor," he said.

"No," replied Madam Sofia, her tone rising.

Their conversation was overheard by others, who exchanged awkward glances.

After that, Madam Sofia stepped past Paul.

Of course, just because she appeared calm didn’t mean Luis didn’t know she was thinking quickly about how to deal with the worst-case scenario if Paul tried to rob her.

He wasn’t someone easy to deal with. Add to that the others, Madam Sofia knew her chances of escaping were slim.

Besides, if Paul joined in, others would too.

And what Luis had in his possession was far more valuable. More people would want to rob him than her.

"Madam, they won’t be able to rob us," Luis said quietly.

He wasn’t just confident—he was absolutely certain.

Escaping would be enough if he had the strength of a single Primordial Monster, but he was far stronger. He was essentially equal to two Primordial Monsters.

"Do you have something reliable to depend on?" asked Madam Sofia.

She didn’t immediately doubt him but instead asked curiously.

That was because she could indeed feel a subtle change in him.

"It’s a secret, but rest assured, everything will be fine. In fact, they’re the ones who should be worried," Luis replied with a faint smile.

"Honestly, now I feel like throwing a party for everyone," he added.

"A party?" Madam Sofia was taken aback.

Her eyes blinked in surprise. How could he think of holding a party at a time like this?

"I have the money for it, but I’m not quite sure what kind of party it should be, or where," Luis explained.

"Why do you want to do this?" Madam Sofia asked with a confused expression.

"To celebrate something. And yeah, maybe it’s the perfect time to show everyone what I can do..."

Madam Sofia, "..."

"Are you sure, Luis?"

"More than sure," he answered.

"If that’s the case, how about we rent a cruise ship? One night costs only about 3 million dollars, complete with party facilities. I’m sure everyone would be interested in joining," Madam Sofia, being a high-society woman, quickly offered her suggestion.

Of course, she had many ideas about parties because she had attended so many.

"Sure, please help me announce it," Luis replied.

"Of course!" Madam Sofia smiled.

"Everyone," she suddenly called out loudly, startling everyone.

In a situation like this, she was actually calling out to everyone.

Was she about to announce something?

Still, it was clearly not the right time for announcements.

"Everyone, Luis wants to rent a cruise ship to throw a party and he wants to invite all of us. What do you think? Are you interested in joining?"

And Madam Sofia really did make the announcement.

However, everyone’s eyes immediately turned to Luis, as he was the one throwing the party.

Even someone like Tyler, who was almost always indifferent, looked at him oddly.

For a while, silence fell.

They suspected a scheme but weren’t sure what it could be.

After all, what kind of scheme could he pull?

"Luis, do you want to gather everyone in one place and then poison us all?" Velika Aris suddenly asked.

She suspected Luis wanted to repeat what he had done at school.

Hearing that, many people grew uncomfortable.

Some immediately searched for information on Luis and finally uncovered his past act of poisoning that led to the deaths of dozens of imperial academy students.

The news had spread, but no one had realized that Luis was the perpetrator.

Now they finally understood. This young man was incredibly dangerous.

More importantly, he had actually dared to do something like that.

The people of Velos wondered how he was still alive after doing such a thing.

"Miss Velika, you’re overthinking. How could people here be poisoned as easily as you all were," Luis replied with a chuckle.

"And I don’t have any poison right now," he added.

His answer was reasonable to most people.

There was no need to even talk about poisoning them. They even wondered if there was any poison that could threaten a Level C Awakener like them.

Even if such poison existed, that didn’t mean they had no way to counter it.

They weren’t like school students.

Their experience was vast. Someone might reach Level C with help, but to grow further, they needed to rely on themselves.

They constantly fought to earn Battle Points, giving them plenty of experience in overcoming danger.

If Paul and Tyler joined, a threat like that was nearly impossible.

"Everyone, rest assured, there’s no such poison. Even if Luis had one that could threaten us, he wouldn’t use it. He used it in school because he was in a desperate situation. This is a completely different case," Madam Sofia spoke to calm everyone.

However, Walker suddenly chimed in.

"Madam, on a cruise ship, Luis would be in an even more desperate situation. Why is he so bold in doing this?"

Luis rolled his eyes at the man’s words.

He was basically outright stating that Luis would be robbed. Even the robbers themselves wouldn’t say that.

Of course, what he said made sense. On a cruise ship heading out to sea, Luis would be in a far more vulnerable position than when he was surrounded by a group of imperial students.

Luis truly intended to hold a party and give everyone a show if they dared to try anything, so he didn’t expect to be suspected.

Now he was under suspicion. Without a way to assure everyone, most people probably wouldn’t attend the party.

However, if he changed the location to a hotel, he thought people wouldn’t worry as much.

Still, a cruise ship would be much more enjoyable.

Luis looked at Madam Sofia, hoping for a solution.

"Ehmmm!" The woman softly cleared her throat.

"I just realized how easily frightened everyone’s become," she said with a soft laugh.

Instead of saying something rational, she provoked the crowd.

However, her method seemed to work because Luis noticed people growing restless, as if offended at being called scared.

Awakeners had high pride. How could they rob him if they were afraid to follow him onto a cruise ship?

Wouldn’t it be the same anyway? If he had such a deadly poison, he could poison them while they were robbing him.

"Hahaha, everyone, how about we just go along with it? When else would we get to enjoy a free party? I guarantee nothing will happen," Paul suddenly said, laughing heartily.

"I’ll join too!"

"Me too!"

Tyler and Liam added.

Both of them brought many subordinates, so together they totaled around twenty people.

When these three well-known figures agreed to join, the others started saying they would join as well.

"How about we go too?" Riven was also interested. He asked the imperial students.

"I think this could be fun," one of them replied.

The others began to agree as well.

The only ones who looked doubtful were Walker and Velika Aris, but with so many others going, they could only follow along.

"Hahaha, then let’s head to the harbor now," said Madam Sofia.

"However, whoever’s hiding my car—could you return it?" she added.

Everyone looked at each other with strange expressions upon hearing that.

Unfortunately, no one responded.

The robbery was going to be postponed—it would be embarrassing to admit to hiding her car now.

At worst, Madam Sofia might ban the person from attending.

In the end, no one confessed.

"Sofia, you and Luis can come with me!" Liam suddenly offered.

Sofia looked at Luis, who nodded, not minding.

Liam looked pleased, then signaled one of his guards to bring his car.

It was a shiny black sedan.

Liam even opened the back door for Madam Sofia while he sat in the front.

Luis didn’t care much about the man’s effort to please Madam Sofia. He simply entered through the other back door.
