A new year

A 2-meter-tall, lean yet muscular man stood facing the window with both hands clasped to his back.

He wore a well pressed black suit boasting malleable metallic parts at his shoulders, upper back and helm.

While this suit looked like it was made from normal fabric, looks could be deceiving. This was an armor with the capacity to endure a laser beam at close range!

It looked so beautiful, enhancing the looks of Derek, who wore it. His eyes were solemn as he looked down from the floor-to-ceiling window of the shuttle.

It's been two days since they've been moving toward the capital because he got a call from Micheal. It turns out that bad feeling wasn't just a feeling. Today was the first day of the new year, yet while many celebrated, his mood was ruined.

It was already 7:00 p.m. the exact time the grand party where high-ranked families, Directors of influential organizations, and top stars of different industries would appear.
