Lager Kestone hadn't expected such brutal insults, especially not in front of so many people! While he knew it was wrong of him to ask Kiba about his secrets, surely, he didn't have to be humiliated in such a manner.
He wanted to teach Kiba a lesson but stopped himself after remembering the reports on his strength and the plan he had for him. Suppressing his emotions, he requested Kiba not to miss the pageant and then took his leave.
"As I thought, he has some malicious plans for me," Kiba mused with a smile.
He had angered Lager on purpose.
If Lager's aim was only to invite him for the pageant, then he wouldn't have bothered after getting humiliated.
But seeing Lager react with self-restraint and still request him to judge the pageant, Kiba realized he had malicious intent.
"Oh well, hopefully, whatever scheme he has will be fun."
Kiba cleared his mind and once again started enjoying the food.
The meat dishes were made from the flesh of mutant beasts, so they were extremely beneficial for someone like Kiba who needed an abundant supply of nutrients.
Meghan Adley didn't know what to do.
She was conflicted: should she remain with Kiba or not? She was a model, so she couldn't afford to be in the company of someone who had offended the biggest fashion tycoon of the city.
Lager Kestone was not someone she could offend. He had control over every model's destiny in the city.
Then she remembered how Lager had reacted before leaving.
"Even he didn't dare offend Kiba, so maybe my decision was right! I need to be under Kiba's wings!" Meghan decided.

In the center of the hall, next to the stage, Hank sat with Carole. They were accompanied by three youngsters, one of whom was a young lady.
A waiter arrived behind Carole and Hank and whispered some details in their ears.
"Kiba always likes to create trouble! I will have to entertain Sir Lager!"
Carole felt helpless with the problems Kiba was creating one after another, all in the span of a few hours.
"There's no need," Hank shook his head. "Kiba would have his reasons for causing trouble."
Hank Webley was an old fox. So he was sure Kiba wasn't as reckless as he let the world think.
"Kiba seems interesting!" The young lady remarked. She had fair skin, raven hair, and a slender figure. Her voice was sweet like a nightingale, filled with charm.
The expressions of the youngsters sitting next to her dramatically worsened. Here they were trying to earn her favor, but instead of finding them interesting, she found someone who wasn't even there interesting!
"Felicity, haven't you heard how dangerous Kiba is?" The youngster with short brown hair asked.
"Gante, you need to find some excitement in life," Felicity replied with a smile. "Life would be pretty boring if it lacked danger!"
"Lady Felicity, I'm afraid Gante might be right regarding Sir Kiba," Carole interjected.
Felicity was the only daughter of Senator Patrick Weisz. Naturally, Carole couldn't allow Felicity to become a part of any scandal within the premises of White Angel Corporation. Otherwise, the senator would definitely hold the corporation responsible!
And since senators acted as people's representatives for the World Government on a global scale, their individual power couldn't be underestimated.
"Don't act like my mom!" Felicity replied, annoyed.
Hank smiled and said, "Do you wish to meet Kiba?"
In his lifetime, he had seen countless young women falling for men with a "bad boys" persona. He felt Felicity was the same.
"Yes!" Felicity excitedly replied. "Uncle Hank, you're the best!"
"Ok," Hank said. "I have a meeting with him, so I might as well introduce you to him."
"Chairman Hank..." Carole didn't know what to say.
The expressions of the two youngsters soured. As residents of Delta City, they had heard many legends about Kiba. Naturally, they were afraid Kiba might seduce Felicity!
Their minds conjured up urban legends about Kiba, tales that originated from the mouths of rich wives!
"If a woman tastes Kiba's cock once, she'll always be his cock's slave! She'll never be satisfied with another man!"
The two youngsters were trying to earn Felicity's favor, so how could they bear to see their crush becoming a slave?
"I will protect her!"
"I will not allow her to become a slave!"
"I am ready to die if I can protect Felicity from Kiba's clutches!"
