The most unconventional aspect was the color itself: green.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back in the Victorian era, green dresses had once been fashionable among aristocratic ladies. But the dye used at the time contained highly toxic arsenic—better known as arsenic poison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, the wealthiest women chasing fashion often died the fastest. The more obsessed they were, the worse their fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a long time afterward, green clothing became taboo—inevitably associated with women who died in pursuit of beauty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, the silk gown Charlize wore used no such dangerous dyes. If it did, Henry's Kryptonian nose would have detected it instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from its rebellious color—a signature Cruella touch—the design itself was fairly conventional.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry, however, looked surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ms. de Vil, are you running out of inspiration? Couldn't come up with something more outrageous?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cruella immediately grabbed a feather duster and waved it around furiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Running out of inspiration? Do you even hear yourself?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Charlize is attending a formal event! There are expectations to consider! Should she show up dressed like a peacock?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And if someone like Sean Connery thinks it's inappropriate, won't you two start complaining that my designs aren't good enough?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Designing according to the client's needs and the occasion—that's what professionalism looks like!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm already enduring this boring work—what more do you want?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you want attention so badly, go wear a swimsuit covered in rotting beef to the red carpet. I guarantee you'll make every headline tomorrow!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry had said exactly one sentence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And got buried under a full lecture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He instinctively looked to Charlize for comfort—only to receive a deadly glare and a flick to the forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clutching his \"injured\" head, the Kryptonian retreated to the wall, sulking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, watching the room bustle with activity… felt strangely satisfying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't about slacking off while others worked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like watching art being created.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A group of people carefully refining a girl's appearance—taking something already beautiful and elevating it to something stunning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like watching a sculpture emerge from stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From ordinary… to extraordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the whole process unfold—who wouldn't find that interesting?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And transforming someone already beautiful into something breathtaking—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was far more enjoyable than the so-called \"Eastern Asian transformation magic,\" where makeup turns someone completely unrecognizable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That kind of thing was basically fraud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, it should be illegal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people who invented beauty filters? Public punishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry's suspicious grin clearly didn't help his case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cruella snapped:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You—next door. Go try your suit. Stop being an eyesore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charlize nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a fitting session—adjustments often required removing the dress entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And while Henry had already seen everything there was to see…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a room full of female staff and tailors, having him stare like that was still too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Cruella leading the charge, everyone silently agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they could, they'd have kicked him out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rubbing his nose, Henry retreated to the next room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, a mannequin displayed a dark gray suit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasper Badun, Horace Badun, and several tailors were waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You finally got kicked out,\" Horace said, stuffing his face with a donut. \"Took longer than I expected. Guess you're more impressive than I thought.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since arriving in America, Horace had practically lived on donuts—at least one a day, often more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His belt had loosened a notch or two, though his shirt buttons were still holding on for dear life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which just showed how much attention Cruella paid—even his clothes were constantly being adjusted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She's my girlfriend. What's wrong with looking?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasper raised a bottle toward him. Henry waved it off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He doesn't mean that,\" Jasper said, pouring himself a drink. \"He means Cruella actually tolerated you in there that long. That's the surprising part.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh? She's that intense?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"'Intense' is putting it lightly. When she's working, she's… obsessive. Even we get intimidated sometimes—and we've known her since childhood.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jasper gestured toward the suit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Try it on. If anything doesn't fit, we fix it immediately. If Cruella sees you in an ill-fitting suit, she'll lose her mind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry glanced at the suit, then at their outfits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Same style as yours?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the next room, Cruella's voice rang out:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're the one who says 'as long as I'm not naked, I'm fine'—and now you care about style?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I should just give you two leaves—front and back—tied with rope! Meets your standards and gets you attention!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry quickly called back:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on, I have some dignity! If I wore that, I'd have to flee to a deserted island the next day!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shut up! Try the suit!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, Henry stepped out in the dark gray suit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Wait. Why does this fit perfectly? When did you measure me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Horace grinned through a mouthful of donut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cruella's eyes are better than any measuring tape. Impressive, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…That is impressive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry tested the fit—waist, sleeves, movement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perfect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A well-tailored suit wasn't supposed to restrict movement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally derived from military uniforms during the reign of Louis XIV, suits later evolved into casual wear before becoming formal attire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even today, plenty of dangerous men conducted serious business in suits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mobility mattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Balancing freedom of movement with a sharp silhouette—that was the true skill of a tailor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this custom-made suit?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Far superior to anything Henry had ever worn from Armani.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>🎉 Power Stone Goal Announcement! 🎉\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I'll release one bonus chapter for every 500 Power Stones we hit!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let me know what should I do\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your support means everything—let's crush these goals together!
