Chapter 150 Wolf In Sheep’s Clothing

Dora’s breath hitched.

Clive walked up to her, lowering his gaze, his eyes reflecting her image.

“So, what do you think?” he asked.

Dora cleared her throat, trying to keep her voice steady. “You look… so handsome.”

Clive’s lips curved into a faint, almost imperceptible smile.

The fourth person coming down the stairs was Lioren.

He wore a teal-gray combat suit, the fitted cut showing off his lean build.

The cat ears on his head twitched, and his amber eyes watched with a touch of haughty appraisal.

He radiated a lazy, dangerous vibe.

He was waiting for Dora’s reaction

But Dora’s gaze landed on the tail behind him.

That fluffy tail peeked out from a special opening in the combat suit, swaying gently.

Dora’s eyes sparkled instantly.

Lioren noticed her stare, his ears flushing slightly, while his tail curled up, betraying his true feelings.

“Looks so good…” Dora said honestly. “And really classy, too.”

Lioren let out a little huff, but the tip of his tail perked up happily.

Last to come down was Lucian.

He made his way down the stairs with effortless composure, his dark green combat suit sharp and imposing, his aur quietly powerful.

His golden hair glowed softly under the lights, and his light gold eyes were as deep as the sea.

Dora looked at him, suddenly remembering something she wanted to ask.

“Lucian,” she said, “are you going to the Shawn family banquet?”

Lucian paused mid-step, his pale golden eyes turning to her/”Do you want me to go?”

“I’ll respect whatever you decide,” Dora replied.

Lucian was silent for a moment. “I’ve still got a lot to deal with at the military.

“But if you want me to go with you, I’ll make it happen.”

Dora nodded, a shrewd glint flashing in her eyes. “No need, you just handle your own business.”

She stood up and walked over to Lucian, looking up at him.

“Just tell them you can’t make it because you’re tied up with military affairs, she said.

Lucian raised an eyebrow.

Dora continued, “When you turn them down, keep your tone cold. Let them believe that not only do you have no interest going, but you don’t even care about me as you companion.”

A flicker of understanding crossed Lucian’s eyes. “You want the Shawn family to think we’re not on good terms?

“Exactly,” Dora said with a bright smile. “If you show up with us, they’ll probably be a bit intimidated.

“But if you don’t, they won’t even pay us any mind.”

“Let them enjoy themselves while they can,” Dora continued, a sly spark in her eyes. “Let them get cocky before they crash and burn.”

Lucian looked at her, a flicker of admiration in his golden eyes. After a brief pause, he nodded.

“Alright,” he said.

Lioren walked over, his cat ears twitching. “Looks like I’ll have to shift into my kitten form and tag along with you

Dora looked at him.

“Some of the elders from the Frostveil Planet will be there” Lioren explained. “They all think I’m dead.

“So showing up as a kitten will help me blend in.

Dora nodded. “Perfect, that’s exactly what I want, Fuzzball.”

Loren’s tail went stiff for a second. “Fuzzball… again with that nickname?” “Fuzzball! Fuzzball!” Dora patted his arm, grinning. “You look so mighty.” Lioren’s cat ears pressed bask, silent, but his tail gave an annoyed flick.

Dora turned to look at the others

Rafe stepped forward at just the right moment, giving a graceful little bow.

“I’ll have to pretend to be a Level 4 supernatural ability user and a bankrupt,” he said.

“What do you think, Dory?”

Dora gave him a once-over.

He immediately suppressed his supernatural ability, his face and lips taking on a sickly pate hue. With those gold-ri glasses, he absolutely nailed the sickly young master vibe.

“Perfect,” Dora said, giving him a thumbs-up. “That sickly young master energy is exactly what I’m after.”

Rafe smiled and nodded, adjusting his gold-rimmed glasses, a playful glint flashing deep in his blue eyes.

Dora turned to Clive and Elmer.

“You two, just act natural at the banquet,” she said. “Clive, you’ve got that intimidating vibe, and Elmer, you’re all suns and good looks. No need to tone it down, just let your real selves shine.”

Elmer’s ears twitched. “So, what exactly does ‘act natural’ mean?”

“Eat, drink, and if anyone tries to mess with you, just shoot them a look,” Dora said, keeping it simple. “Clive can teac how to throw a proper glare.”

Elmer glanced at Clive, who gave a deadpan nod.

Elmer tried to glare, but instead of looking intimidating, he just looked adorable.

Dora couldn’t help but laugh, then shifted her gaze to Mindy.

Mindy had already changed into her combat suit.

The silver-gray, form-fitting design, with those agave patterns, traced her silhouette in all the right ways.

She was already gorgeous, and with that crisp brown bob, the whole look made her both striking and elegant.

“Mindy, you look incredible!” Dora exclaimed with genuine admiration. “When you walk in, all those so-called socialites t be able to take their eyes off you.”

Mindy gave a shy smile, but the joy in her eyes was impossible to hide.

Dora swept her gaze over everyone, a determined smirk playing at her lips.

“We’re going to make things look simple, but there’s more to it than meets the eye,” she said.

“What do you mean, ‘looks simple but not so simple after all’?” Elmer scratched his head.

Dora blinked. “We want them to think we’re nothing special, but they’ll have this nagging sense that something’s not qui right.”

Everyone seemed to get it, lost in thought.

Just then, Mindy glanced at Clive, her smile froze, replaced by a look of reverence mixed with a hint of fear…

Dora keenly picked up on the change in her expression.

“Mindy? What’s up?” Dora asked.

Mindy opened her mouth, then closed it, her gaze lingering on Clive for several seconds before she leaned in to whisper to Dora.

“Dora, let me tell you something…”

Dora leaned in, listening intently.

“Miio,” Mindy whispered, her voice barely audible, “he’s actually a mid-level leader in the Blackflame Trading Guild.

Dora raised an eyebrow but didn’t interrupt.

“Blackflame just rolled out a new reward,” Mindy said, her breath quickening. “If you do something Special for the guild, you can score some top quality seeds from the Ancient Blue Planet

“Milo recognized those seeds, they’re exactly the ones you gave me

“Milo had a feeling he’d seen Clive somewhere before,” Mindy added.

She shot another quick glance at Clive, then looked away just as fast. “Before he came to drop off the clothes today, h -confirmed it with me.”

She took a deep breath, looked at Dora, and whispered so softly it was almost inaudible.

“Clive is their Boss Clive, the Master himself.

“I asked him to come with me to deliver the clothes, but he was too scared to come along,” Mindy said, with a sly grin.

“Dora, I… I honestly didn’t know before… I hopel haven’t been disrespectful to any of you…” Mindy said, her voice bare above a whisper, clearly anxious.

Dora suddenly broke into a smile.

She took Mindy’s hand, her voice soft but steady. “Mindy.”

Mindy looked up at her.

“In Blackflame, he’s the Boss Clive,” Dora said, making each word count. “But at home…”

She turned toward Clive. The cold, sharp man was talking to Elmer, but as if sensing her gaze, he looked up at her.

Their eyes met, and Clive’s dark gaze shifted ever so slightly.

Dora looked away, her eyes crinkling with a smile as she turned back to Mindy.

“At home, he’s just Clive, that’s all,” she said.

Mindy couldn’t help but laugh, all her earlier nerves melting away. “Alright, alright, you’re amazing.”

They headed back to the living room, and Mindy strode right up to Clive, totally relaxed.

“Boss Clive, sorry if I was rude before, I honestly didn’t know it was you…” she said.

Clive cut her off, his voice calm. “At home, just call me Clive.”

Mindy blinked, then broke into a smile. “Alright, Clive.”
