The Time I Got Reincarnated As An Extra

253  The Party & The After Party [2]

***

Going inside with all of his friends, Amon found himself in a lavish hall.

Gleaming white expensive marble tiles that covered the whole expanse.

Large and intricate golden chandeliers that hung from the top, reflecting off the bright light that shed on them to the floor below.

Tables laden with all kinds of foods cooking in the banquet party containers and utensils.

Comfortable leather chairs that were the rarest of the rarest, carefully arranged in front of a large stage.

A wooden podium placed on the golden-tiled stage with various setups done to ensure that the sound reached the whole hall.

Floor to ceiling windows on the top floors that could be accessed by large and expansive white spiral staircases.

Golden bright railings followed along the edges of the stairs for the audience.

Professional trained staff moved along with haste in the hall, carrying various trays and drinks in their hands that seemed to be locked in place, despite the fast movement.

It was all stuff that Amon had once read in the novel and had imagined but never thought that he would experience one day.

And surely, as he lay a glance on it, his mouth opened a little with awe at the beauty and grandeur of the place.

"Beautiful.." He muttered under his breath as his gaze locked with the chandeliers hanging from the ceiling in chains.

From his side, Ren let out a boring sound and shrugged.

"Meh, it looks beautiful and grand the first time you see it. But overtime it becomes overbearing and kinda annoying not gonna lie."

Amon let out a laugh at his words.

"With the type of guy you are, I'm sure it's a burden."

Ren did a helpless shrug, his gaze saying 'Can I do something about it?'

Amon let out another laugh at his annoyed expression.

He felt a pang of sympathy for the guy.

Being a guy who lived simplicity and more carelessness in his life, Amon was sure the parties that he had been dragged along to with Athena as a kid were torturous.

The floor was already filled with quite a lot of people, their chatters and mutters reflecting off the walls and making it more lively.

The staff moved with such an effortless grace between them that their presence couldn't even be felt as they handed a glass and then moved away.

It was the same case for Amon as suddenly, out of nowhere, a staff appeared by his side, with a tray in hand.

"Sir, would you like a drink?" He did a small bow, presenting a tray to him.

Amon was taken aback by his sudden arrival a little but composed himself within a moment.

He noticed that his throat was quite dry after all that talk and walk so he did a simple nod and extended his hand.

A drink wouldn't hurt.

Taking the glass from his hand, Amon was just about to down it before he remembered that usually in these type of parties it was wine or alcohol.

He had never been to one so he had forgotten about it.

And surely, as he looked at the color of the drink. It was wine.

Disgust etched upon his features as he turned back to the waiter, only to find him already gone.

'Fuck.' He cursed in his mind.

Turning to Ren, he extended his glass to the side without looking at the boy.

Fortunately, Amon didn't need to explain as one look at the drink inside told Ren enough about what happened.

Taking the drink from his hand, Ren let out a laugh.

"Guess you forgot about what they offer at such parties." He laughed before downing the whole glass in one go.

Amon looked at him with surprise at how he did it so quickly.

He knew from the novel that he was a big drinker but wasn't this too experienced?

"How are you so immune to this? You just turned 18 fucker." Amon looked at him.

Ren smirked, shrugging.

"18 being the legal age to drink doesn't mean someone can't do it earlier."

Amon's eyes widened with surprise as he made sense of his words.

Then did that mean…

This man was drinking even before 18?

Seeing the surprise in his eyes, Ren did a casual wink and put an arm around him.

"Man, coming to these parties as a kid, only drinks could keep me in place. I used to sneak around and try to have a sip. It was bitter but addicting as hell." n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Amon made a disgusted expression.

"I'm disappointed."

Ren pulled his arm around him.

"Oh come on, don't blame me now. Those little girls that flocked around me were too boring for my taste. All they did was praise me that I had this and that. Sure it was new but I was addicted to the thrill of danger from the streets.

The danger that I could be caught by my sister."

Amon felt like slapping his forehead at the man's words.

"You…I can't do anything about your mind."

Ren grinned, pointing his fingers like a gun at him.

"Exactly. That's what my sis said as well."

Amon released a tiring sigh.

"Can't do nothing about you."

He was about to say more when suddenly, he felt two familiar presences coming from the side.

22:20

Both of them were heading his way with a gentle smile on their faces as they talked to each other.

And looking at them, Amon could see why they had let out a gasp and turned silent.

If Liliana and Charlotte girls were golds then the two girls before him were literally diamonds.

Both of them wore matching dresses for the occasion, showcasing their choices as well.

But there was a difference in their types.

For Katherine, it was a simple black sleeveless sheath dress that clung tightly to the curves of her body, highlighting her beauty.

Despite doing simple makeup and dressing with heels, Katherine's natural beauty made her shine like a diamond among the rest of the females.

Her hair was also perfectly kept in place as they were beautifully styled to remain in back while keeping a few strands in front, her bangs covering her forehead.

Her brown eyes shone reflected warmth and gentleness in them.

But even though she looked more beautiful than anyone in the party, the girl next to her still won by a small margin.

Amon had picked the dress for Amelia herself, but when he asked her to try it out she told him that she should wait.

And now seeing her in the dress, it made sense why she asked him for that.

Despite mentally preparing himself as much as he could, he was left stupefied.

Wearing a long high neck floral patterned black dress, Amelia walked with an effortless noble grace.

Her high heels tapped against the floor with a symphonic rhythm, catching everyone's attention.

The dress and sleeves tightly clung to her body, highlighting every inch and curve of her body.

Her long winish-red hair was properly tied into an updo hairstyle, with a few strands hanging at the sides of her face just like Katherine.

Before he could be lost and stare at her like a creep, fortunately, Ren nudged his elbow into his stomach, making Amon puke.

"Stop looking at her like a simp." He snickered.

Amon grabbed his stomach in a little pain.

'This fucker…' Amon knew he had done it a little harder intentionally.

"I'm not."

"Yes you are."

"I'm-"

Before Amon could argue with him, the two beauties that had completely taken everyone's attention by storm arrived before him.

The first one to speak, of course, was Katherine.

"You are here!" She gave him a bright smile, stepping forward and wrapping him in a hug.

Amon was taken by surprise a little. Especially when he heard the hisses of a dozen men around him.

But, at the same time, this ticked him off a little.

'The hell you're looking at.' He frowned, releasing just a little of his [Void Energy] to the back.

And instantly, he felt the gazes move away and only then did he wrap his arms around his sister with a smile.

"Yeah, it took a while."

From behind, Amon heard a subtle long whistle. There was no need to look back.

He already knew who it was.

"A simp and a sis-con. A duo I never thought I'd find."

A vein bulged at Amon's forehead as he struggled to maintain his smile while still keeping his hug.

Showing his hand from behind just a little, he gave the purple-haired boy a middle finger.

Pulling back from the hug, he saw Katherine's smile widen as she looked at his dress.

"You look perfect." She gave him a warm smile which Amon reciprocated.

"Of course, I'm Amon." He laughed to which Katherine rolled her eyes.

"It's only because of Amelia. Otherwise, I'm sure you'd still be crying around the rug to give me clothes for you." She chuckled.

Before Amon could reply though, a certain eggplant joined in with wide eyes, as if he had just caught a new piece of information.

"Yooooo! Greetings Miss Katherine, but did you just say this guy was a crybaby?" He pointed at Amon.

Katherine noticed Ren and gave him a smile as well.

Just like Amelia knew Amon, Katherine knew Ren a little as well.

And in the past month, she had met Michael and Ren a lot around Amon as well.

"It's so nice to see you again Ren." She shook his hand.

Knowing the type of person Ren was, Katherine finally saw an opportunity to have some fun and she chuckled.

"Of course, he could never do anything without me."

Ren struggled to control his laugh as he turned back to Amon, who had a face that looked like it would punch the former in the face any second.

But the purple-head didn't seem to care as well, as he opened his mouth slowly.

Amon's eyes widened and he shook his head.

'Don't you dare.' His eyes said.

But who was he even talking to? The boy casually mouthed the words to him.

'Does my baby want his feeder for some milk? Do you crybaby?' Ren made an innocent crying expression.

Amon grit his teeth, trying to control his urges.

But the laughing of the two animals in his head made it only worse.

Fortunately for both him and Ren, before the former could release a punch, the lights just turned dim.

And the event finally started, as the voice of the conductor echoed in the hall.
