Millennium Tension

Chapter 24: Beautiful Face Came With High Status

Aizen, Ana, and Axel had a great time spending their time together traversing a lot of places from tourist attractions to shopping places until late afternoon.

Currently, they are in Azazel City relaxing in a couple's cafe called 'Couple Eatery'. A simple classic cafe with subtle nuances and a cozy atmosphere.

"Brother Aizen, this vanilla ice cream is really good. You can try it." Ana cheerfully feeds ice cream to Aizen.

"Of course it's delicious. Maybe it's because I'm fed by my Ana?"

"Master Aizen, please taste this mango ice cream." Now it was Axel's turn to feed him with a sweet smile on her face.

"My Axel is so considerate."

"Now it's your turn to feed us!" Ana demanded softly.

Aizen obeyed happily. At this time in the cafe, there are still no other customers beside them because it is not yet entering the evening hours for couples to arrive. This cafe has a rule that only lovers can eat here.

They play around while chatting cheerfully in mild temptations, if other people see them at this time the word 'silly couple' is very fitting to describe the three of them.

The cafe owner and the cafe waitresses who were currently watching them from a distance could only plunge into jealousy and be a little nervous seeing a handsome man with two very beautiful girls flirting with each other. But they did not dare to disturb them and continue to serve them respectfully. They know in this day and age, the more beautiful a person's stature and face are, the higher their status will be.

[Beauty Serum] is the thing most women are interested in right now despite the very high price with a limited amount on the market. [Beauty Serum] which consists of various levels has been introduced for more than a thousand years on Earth and has become one of the most valuable things on Mars.

That is why Aizen, Ana, and Axel can tour the city without significant disruption. For normal people and middle aristocrats and below, the figure of the three of them is already included in the list of people who should not be offended.

"We've been around all day... Let's go back to Stanford City. Now it's late afternoon, don't you guys want to go to a party?"

"Should we go there?" Ana pouted cutely as if she no longer wanted to go to the party.

"Hm... Actually, I also want to check the data from [Axtia Goddess] which will be updated in our database and examine the nobles on Mars directly."

"Then fine. Let's go back." Axel agreed with a smooth nod and was followed by Ana who was also nodded.

After Aizen paid their bill, the three of them immediately left the cafe leaving a sigh of relief from the workers at the cafe, it seems their existence alone had given enough pressure to the workers at the cafe.

Currently, they are in the outer circle area of the city. Aizen is walking towards an area of the city which is the place where there is the least human scrutiny to summon their mini spaceship with Ana and Axel who is grabbing his arms from both sides.

"Brother Aizen, do you know why we never meet poor people?" Ana suddenly asked innocently. During their date, they have never met a bum or poor person like when they were on Earth before.

"Hm... Although energy resources on Mars have largely returned to the way they were before [Mystical Stones] were discovered, such as oil, gas, and many more. Each population in each city is no more than ten million, that number can be treated with both by governments in every city seeing abundant resources."

Aizen sighed knowing the decline of human civilization which he had painstakingly developed with many parties in the past.

Axel's previous data has fallen sharply from the current population. Initial data of the population were four hundred million people when Axel left and did her adventure but now there are only about sixty million people on Mars. How about the Earth?

"Because of the very low birth rate, families that can give birth to a baby will get special treatment from the city government. That rule has existed since Mars was first inhabited by humans." Axel added to clarify the current state.

"Isn't that great, that way they can live peacefully without worrying about many things." Ana responds casually, but next comes a high-pitched voice from the car's wheels and the anger of someone who cursed harshly.

"Well, Brother Aizen, it looks like it's different in Azazel City." Ana continued while pointing at the screeching sound that caught the attention of the three of them.

"An accident?" Aizen mumbled and the three of them came closer to the incident.

In the direction where Ana pointed out, there was a teenage boy in shabby clothes lying on the road and a well-dressed man who came out of the car looked very upset.

--------------------------------

Ronald Eren has just returned from his monster-hunting expedition and got a late message sent by his father to attend a party at Stanford City. Realizing the event which was directly held by City Lord himself was not a trivial and rare thing. For a young aristocrat like himself, this kind of meeting can be a place for exchanging connections and cooperation between upper-class aristocrats for their own benefit.

He along with his little sister who also got a late message from their careless father immediately left with his favorite car and drove at a safe speed to the airport which is on the edge of the city. Even though he was in a hurry, he didn't forget that his safety was more important than anything.

When he reached the outer circle of the city, a boy suddenly appeared in front of his car. Ronald who was in a hurry felt panicked while stepping on the brake and his little sister's face slightly paled. After the birth rates continue to decline, rules such as killing will be subject to strict punishment and injuring someone resulting in disability will be subject to a large compensation penalty which will be given to the victim.

"Brother, what should we do?" Selena Eren, his sister who sat in the co-pilot's seat asked quietly with her face growing pale. She was still naive enough to assume they had crashed into the boy's death.

"Let me handle it. I don't believe he's hurt that badly." Ronald came out with a slightly nervous heart, he could not believe the boy was dead because he was clearly driving at a safe speed.

"You damn brat! You deliberately appeared in front of my car huh!" Ronald was angry at the boy with a slight blister on his body huddled on the road, he thought this was just the boy's plan to get compensation money and he hated being fooled like this.

"Ah... Ugh..." The boy continued to whimper, not answering the man's anger.

"Little bastard, you think you can get compensation from me with this action!" Ronald looked even more angry, seeing the teenage boy lying on the road continuing to whimper.

'Maybe the boy is really badly injured in the internal organs?' He now became worried and began to consider plans to get rid of the boy and run away, just leave because the boy was still alive, or help the boy then give money and leave immediately.

Ronald who began to look right and left to check for witnesses saw three figures consisting of a man and two very beautiful girls on both sides approaching him.

'Shit! There are eyewitnesses!' Ronald cursed silently. But after looking closely at the three unusual figures he also realized the unusual status they had, now he had different expectations. 'Maybe they are nobles like me who are late getting messages to the party? They can certainly help me.'

----------------------------------------

"Greetings, ladies and gentlemen." Ronald greeted with a friendly smile on his face trying to cover up the anxiety that just blanketed him.

"An accident? The boy is still alive..." Aizen nodded at the man and immediately checked the condition of the boy who was still huddled on the road while groaning in pain.

After Aizen scans the boy's body, he realized the boy's body is still healthy and has no injuries other than a few blisters on his body. '*sigh* Pretending to be badly hurt? Of all the cities we have just visited today, only in this city are people who have dared to go so far because of economic pressures. '

Unlike other cities that no longer have poor citizens, in Azazel City it turns out that poor people are still often found in the outer circle of the city since the big battle four years ago. Maybe the government is still in the recovery stage, or an incompetent government, or are there other factors?

"Alright, sir. Are you the one who just hit a young man here?"

"Ah! Oh! No! No! I drove safely but the boy suddenly appeared in front of my car! I'm innocent! If you don't believe you can check my [Axtia Device] history!"

"Hmm... Even though it's true but your situation is quite difficult. Do you have cash or something?" Aizen offered with an evil smile on his face.

Ronald, who only focused on the consequences of what awaited him because this was the first time he had hit someone immediately took cash from his car. "Yes! Yes! This is five thousand dollars, all the cash I have. So you have to help me! I don't want to go down to the punishment line!"

Aizen receives the five thousand dollars and returns to the whimpering boy. "Young man, even though I don't know what makes you do things like this. Take this and don't do things like this again. You will not save anyone and will not reach anywhere if you are like this."

The shabby boy who had just heard the words implied by Aizen felt his pretense was discovered. Seeing the cash of five thousand dollars given to him, he immediately accepted the money and stood up straight as if the wound he had was nothing to him.

"Thank you, young master. This money means so much to me!" After saying that the boy immediately ran very fast and disappeared between the aisles.

Seeing the boy's sharp gaze that seemed not giving up on the situation, Aizen just smiled suspiciously and seemed to know what the boy meant and turned to look at Ronald who was still stunned stupidly.

"Well. The problem is solved. Then we excuse ourselves." Aizen goes back to Ana and Axel who were just watching from the side.

Ronald immediately recovered and immediately cursed annoyedly. "Damn brat indeed! He made a fool of me!"

"Pfft! Haha! You're the one who immediately panicked, not checking carefully. It's good that Brother Aizen helped you!" Ana burst out laughing at the man's silly actions.

"Fufu... That's his own money. So he helped himself" Axel just giggled quietly while covering her mouth with her palm.

"Ugh! Then thank you for that. I've been fooling myself. Oh yes! Nice to meet you, I'm Ronald Eren."

"Hum. I'm Aizen."

"Are you going to a party hosted by City Lord himself at Stanford City?" After shaking hands Ronald asked kindly forgetting what had happened before.

Aizen, Ana, and Axel looked at each other, seeing that Ana and Axel seemed to be giving him a decision. Aizen just nodded silently.

"That's right. We're on our way to Stanford City."

"Wow! Damn right! Even someone like you also decided to be late. Then would you like to go there together?" Ronald tried to cover up the fact that he got a message that was late sent by his father.

"Alright then."

"It's an honor for me. Please get into my favorite car! This is my car that I modified myself and isn't on the market! We're going to the airport and taking my private jet!" Ronald thinks Aizen and his two girls are high-class nobles looking at their faces, clothes, and stature. He felt Aizen gave him a face to go to Stanford City with him which made him very happy.

Ronald, who is a young master of a new upper-class nobility, considers all good relations between nobles is a good thing for his family.

Aizen, Ana, and Axel just looked at each other and smiled wryly before taking part in the five-person multi-purpose vehicle in the back seat.
