Villain Is on Vacation



Today, In [Karoon City] a large number of people employed by the Holmes Family woke up before dawn.

The reason behind their early start is that it happens to be the "20th birthday" of the sole heir to the Holmes Family, Rain Holmes.

Although Rain was still a candidate for the head position, people thought that as he was talented and hardworking, he will surely become the family's head in the future. 

While every birthday is special, the 10th and 20th birthdays hold significant importance in this world.

This is because after turning 10 years old, children begin to learn and explore the world in a more structured and formal way. As a result, it is considered a major turning point in their lives.

This is crucial because education is a crucial aspect of a person's life. Without it, one's ability to contribute to society and support themselves is severely hindered, which can have negative effects on the people around them.

Similarly, when someone turns 20, they are considered to have reached a new milestone and are expected to have matured significantly.

It is believed that after reaching this age, individuals are ready to take on more significant responsibilities, such as entering the workforce or pursuing higher education.

In this world, turning 20 years old marks a significant milestone, as it is the age at which individuals can enroll in an academy to learn practical knowledge.

Acquiring practical knowledge is crucial for leading a good life in this world because without power you are nothing.

Enrolling in an academy after turning 20 years old provides individuals with a chance to gain practical knowledge and skills that can help them achieve their goals.

Consequently, many people grandly celebrate this occasion.

However, when the person in question hails from a high-class family such as the Holmes Family, the celebration is taken to another level and is akin to a royal banquet.

The guest list for such an event is exclusive, including high-ranking officials, wealthy merchants, and representatives of other races.

Despite being invited, representatives of other races often do not attend such events.

With a large number of guests expected to attend, preparations for the upcoming party were underway.

Given the size of the Holmes Family's mansion and the surrounding area, there was a lot of decorating to be done to create an inviting atmosphere.

The team in charge of the decor was working tirelessly to ensure that every corner of the mansion looks beautiful.

The team was using flowers, balloons, and colorful decorations to create an inviting ambiance. They even decorated the surrounding area to match the grandeur of the mansion.

In addition to the decorations, the food was also a significant aspect of the event, the ingredients used were fresh and expensive, and each dish was meticulously prepared to cater to the guests' taste buds.

To keep the guests entertained, a wide range of performers had been hired, including dancers, singers, and other entertainers.

The performers were the best of the best, and they have been rehearsing for weeks to ensure that their performances are flawless.

Additionally, accommodations had been prepared for guests who may become tired or inebriated throughout the event.

To ensure that everything runs smoothly, a team of high-ranking individuals was on standby to address any potential emergencies.

With so many people eagerly anticipating the event, it promises to be an unforgettable experience. It felt like it was some major event of a game.

As the sun began to set, the anticipation for the party started to build, and the Party hall slowly filled with guests.

Although the event had not officially begun, the attendees were eager to make the most of the evening and had made an effort to dress in their finest attire.

The women were adorned in beautiful dresses and wore sparkling jewelry, while the men looked dapper in their suits and ties.

As people arrived, they were welcomed by the warm glow of the hall, which had been decorated with beautiful lighting and ornate decorations.

The attendees mingled with each other, exchanging hugs and greetings, and engaging in conversations about the latest happenings around the world.

The atmosphere was charged with excitement and energy, as people caught up with old friends and made new ones.

As the night wore on, the partygoers began to explore the various areas of the drawing hall.

Some found a cozy corner to settle into, while others gathered in larger groups, chatting and laughing over glasses of wine or cocktails.

The room was filled with the sounds of chatter and laughter, which reverberated off the walls and added to the festive ambiance.

The entertainment for the night was a highlight of the party.

Many talented singers took the stage, belting out beautiful melodies that had the audience captivated.

The dancers, too, were a sight to behold, with their graceful movements and impeccable timing.

The performers put on a spectacular show that left the attendees spellbound and wanting more.

Throughout the evening, the guests also indulged in a variety of delicious foods, which were served in a buffet-style arrangement.

There were plenty of options to choose from, ranging from gourmet appetizers to succulent entrees and decadent desserts.

The quality of the food was exceptional, and many guests remarked that it was comparable to that of a high-class restaurant.

The gathering resembled a congregation of influential people, and upon viewing the whole spectacle, the only word that comes to mind is 'extravagant'.

It felt like Karoon City had become the center of activities.

It seemed like a display of wealth and opulence, with no expenses spared.

If Rain had been present, he may have scoffed at the glimmering lights and asked for them to be turned off, or suggested that they start eating instead, deeming the event a frivolous waste of money.

He would have said,

"For me, it's overwhelming to see so many people present. From the main characters to the supporting characters, villains, and even extras, this scene is causing me stress."

However, fortunately, or unfortunately Rain was nowhere to be found, and he was, after all, the birthday boy.

His absence had everyone speculating about his whereabouts and why he was not present at his birthday party.
