Destroying My Own World-Chapter 9 - : A Date.

Elena was being helped by Jeanne and Nagy to put on makeup while Lyneth was watching at the door. She was wearing a simple red dress which showed the curves of her body. It was her own decision to wear that dress because she wanted to copy what Lyneth did to seduce Mykel when they met.

"Elena, why are you wearing that?" Lyneth asked with a worried expression.

"Because I want to. I'm going out for dinner, and I'm doing this for all of us," Elena answered as she looked at Lyneth's reflection in the mirror. "I'll be fine, mother. Just trust me like how father entrusted me with this," Elena said.

"Elena, I think you misunderstood Lyneth's concern. She's not concerned about you, but the result of your action that would lead to something unpleasant. Even if you can handle and protect yourself, if Mykel knew that something happened, that's what she's concerned about," Jeanne explained. "You might know him as your father and whatever he did, you look up to him because it looks admirable and brave. But for us, he can be the most terrifying thing that ever existed," Jeanne continued.

Nagy nodded her head in agreement because she remembered how terrifying it was when she tasted fear. Everyone on the team had experienced it, even Lyneth was terrified when Mykel used his [Tyrannize] skill. Those moments were the worst experiences they had ever felt, and sometimes it traumatized them.

"I have seen everything. I'll be fine," Elena looked at herself in the mirror. "Just trust me," Elena continued.

Jeanne looked at Lyneth and she tried her best to warn Elena. They both gave up because Elena was more like Mykel than Lyneth, so there was nothing else they could do once she was resolved like that.

"It's done," Nagy said as she stood up and looked at Elena's face. "You look beautiful," Nagy smiled and looked satisfied with her work.

Elena stood up and looked at the dress she was wearing as she spun around to look at it from different angles. She thanked both Jeanne and Nagy for helping her, and then she left her room to show it off to Mykel who was in the living room with the boys and the others.

"Father, how do I look?" Elena asked as soon as she entered the living room.

Rozan, Sven, Vincze, and Gerrard were shocked and speechless when they saw Elena in her red dress that revealed her shoulders and left thigh. Mykel had never noticed it before, but Elena's body slowly looked like Lyneth's body. Gunnar then cleared his throat so the others would mind their eyes because Mykel was there with them.

"You look beautiful," Mykel answered and immediately took a huge shot of vodka that was enough to make his head hurt.

"Wow. You know that I heard karma is real. Since you have been fucking a lot of women in your life, how many men do you think will try to sleep with her?" Aurea whispered into Mykel's ear with a mischievous smile. "I'm just joking. I'll go out there and protect her if you want to," Aurea chuckled as she leaned back.

"No need. She can handle everything by herself," Mykel answered as he stood up."I'm going out to grab some fresh air," Mykel said and walked toward the door.

Elena looked at Mykel and she was a bit confused, but then her phone rang and she got distracted by it. It was Victor who messaged her, and he was telling her that he was waiting in the lobby.

Elena grabbed her purse as she told Lyneth that Victor was waiting for her in the lobby. She said goodbye to them and left the penthouse hurriedly, hoping to catch up with Mykel.

"Mykel, wait for me," Elena shouted. She was told to not call Mykel a father anywhere but inside the penthouse because there were CCTVs around them.

Mykel held the elevator door open and waited for Elena to enter the elevator. He didn't say a word and pressed the button to go to the ground floor. It was just silence except for the rustling sound that Mykel made since he was trying to pull out his pack of cigarettes.

*DING*

The elevator door opened and the first person they saw was Victor in his gray suit. He wore so many fancy and expensive accessories on his body. A gold watch, a gold bracelet, a diamond ring, and a diamond earring. He alone was enough to attract everyone's attention, but he added those things which made him the center of attention.

"What do you think?" Mykel asked as he walked out of the elevator and put the cigarette in his mouth.

"He looks stupid," Elena answered without hesitation.

Mykel scoffed and started chuckling as he walked to the lobby with Elena next to him. He then left Elena alone and went outside to grab some fresh air as he smoked his cigarette.

Victor turned his head and saw Elena in her red dress which stunned him by her beauty. His eyes couldn't stop staring at her as he tried to keep his composure and not smile creepily.

"Wow. I never thought you would put an all-out effort into this," Victor said as he put his hands in his trousers' pockets.

"You impressed me once, and I should pay you back for that," Elena said with a smile.

"I'm stunned," Victor smiled back at her. "Should we get going?" Victor asked as he pointed his hand at the door.

Elena and Victor went to the fancy restaurant in his sportscar that only he had it. As soon as they arrived, Victor was greeted by the valet who parked the car for him. They entered the restaurant and he was greeted by the reservations, and then he guided them to their table which was enough to become the center of attention by the people who ate there.

"Are you a celebrity?" Elena jokingly asked with her eyebrows raised.

"Everyone knows me because I oftentimes came here," Victor bragged.

"Is that so? I guess I'm not the first woman you brought here then," Elena said as she sat down at their table. "Fancy suit, fancy car, being a man that's being looked up to by everyone. How many that you failed to impress?" Elena asked with her eyebrows raised and a bit of a smirk.

"None. The other factor would be because we are all living in hell, so a bit of this feels like heaven," Victor answered.

Elena couldn't help but laugh which confused Victor if he said something wrong.

"None? Then I should be the first," Elena chuckled as he grabbed her glass of champagne.

"You're really interesting woman that I have ever met. Cheers," Victor said as he raised his glass.

They spent the evening drinking three bottles of expensive champagne that were worth at least four thousand dollars each. It was the best evening that Victor ever had, and he didn't mind spending a lot of money as long as he could make Elena stay.

"So, why are you suddenly inviting me for a dinner? I know there must be something that you want from me," Victor asked as he leaned on his chair.

"Of course. I'm an opportunist woman," Elena smiled as she crossed her arms on the table. "The reason is that I want to know more about the guild," Elena pointed out.

"Guild? Why are you suddenly interested in it even though you declined my offer to join my guild," Victor asked and started to sit straight.

"Because we want to make our own guild. I think it would be nice to have something for ourselves," Elena answered. Victor looked a bit disappointed and suspicious about it. "What's wrong? You don't want to tell me about it?" Elena asked.

Before Victor said something, Elena stood up and packed her things up.

"It's fine. I can find someone else that's willing to tell me. I think James would do it," Elena said as he grabbed her purse.

"Wait!" Victor grabbed Elena's wrist. "I haven't given you an answer, why leave? Come sit, and I'll tell you how," Victor said.

Victor told her that the requirement to make a legitimate guild was to get approval from President Richard. That was the most important, but the second requirement was also important which was to have an asset that was worth at least five billion dollars which was to buy the building and turn it into headquarters. The last one would be having to pay a yearly tax of at least thirty percent of the guild's income.

"That's it?" Elena asked after she was done typing the requirements on her phone.

"Yes, those are the important ones," Victor nodded his head in agreement.

"Alright, thanks," Elena said and put her phone in her purse as she stood up.

"Where are you going? I thought you won't leave if I told you how, and the night is still long," Victor asked and he looked confused.

"I told you, didn't I? I would be the first who isn't impressed by you," Elena said. "But that doesn't mean I'm not enjoying the dinner though. Let's do this again sometime," Elena winked and left.

Victor chuckled and shook his head as he drank his champagne.
