Chapter 56 56:Visiting Hunter Association



Standing beside Ami, Lucas gaped at the sight of a huge tower reaching straight toward the sky. He had seen many skyscrapers but only in photos and videos.

The original one can\'t be compared to the fake edited ones. The surreal and breathtaking scenery combined with the pristine environment gave a sense of discomfort to Lucas.

He was inside the Inner zone or known as the noble zone. The place was tightly guarded and commoners couldn\'t enter easily.

One either needs status, a good reason, or permission from nobles to enter here.

Everything was richly decorated. The roads were vast and the buildings were big, rustic, and magnificent which gave a harsh blow to the confidence of the poor section of the society.

"The tower must have cost a lot," Lucas muttered.

"Yes, its security is top-notch and the material used to make it is costly. It had a barrier that, when activated, could take strong blows from us."Miss Ami explained and after thinking for a moment, she added.

"The Lockhart\'s Merchant Group sponsored us in exchange for some benefits."

"Hmmm!"Lucas nodded and clenched his fist.

One day...one day, he could enter this unbridled.

The staff greeted them by seeing a familiar face and welcomed Ami gently.

Ami handled the matter at the recipient\'s desk and led Lucas to the top floor.

Lucas, noticing many artifacts on display cases, thought it was a waste to let them rot here.

Ami, seemingly familiar with the place, led Lucas directly to the Vice President\'s office.

Out there in the Vice-President\'s office, a vast balcony was built from the wall of the tower extending outside for several hundred square feet.

On its surface, large pillars rose to support the exterior roof over which beautiful runes were shimmering with a familiar light.

Looking at the shimmering runes and pristine layers of exquisite metals covering it, Lucas felt something moving inside his heart...

\'This isn\'t an ordinary room.\'

At the center of the balcony, a man with wrinkled brows sitting on a large decorated sofa gave a gentle smile.

"You won\'t say hello to me."

His words were casual and filled with warmth that make one lessened the guard.

"Hello, Vice President Lee. It\'s nice to meet you."

"Thank you for your hard work because of which we can live peacefully and for also taking out some time to agree to this meeting."Lucas greeted him with a polite bow.

Vice President Lee waved his hand and said"Even if you had not looked for me. I would have looked for you."

"From the interrogation, I felt you hid some things and felt insecure to share it openly."

"By the way, that\'s a good choice. It seems Ami has taught you well."

"Hmph!"

"After all, I am a meticulous person," Ami replied, puffing her chin up proudly.

In an unknown world, you are bound to have trust issues. So, knowing the future, especially the behavior of people plays a great significant role. Still, it was not easy for him to make up his mind.

People have hidden sides to them that can\'t be described in a few words. Lucas had found some discrepancy in the behaviors of people from the way they were portrayed in the novel still it was in line with their original description.

Previously, the hunter association was presided over by a board consisting of elite noble families. This led to various friction when certain individuals exploited the benefits and also used the Hunter Association to interfere with politics.

This resulted in the Emperor taking a drastic step to isolate it and make the body neutral so that it could function the sole reason it was made for.

For becoming President and Vice-President several criteria are taken into account along with the family background.

Vice-President Lee is an orphan, who was later awakened by chance. The test of his bloodline was quite surprising as he was found to have a Platinum bloodline.

Being an orphan, he had gone through a rough childhood which made him a disciplined person. He is in the 8-Star realm and is almost at the age of 60.

Later in the story, Frederick got great support from him.

As for why his name had Korean ascent, Lucas did not know.

Sitting down comfortably beside Ami, Lucas gazed into Vice-President Lee\'s eyes.

His eyes were calm and steady, filled with years of experience that unsettled Lucas. He can easily deal with people of the same age or those who lack confidence however he isn\'t still at the level where he can assert his dominance in front of people like this.

"So, Lucas first tell me the whole experience you had gone through in the dungeon without omitting key details. You can leave the part you are uncomfortable with but anything which could possess a substantial threat to mankind should not be hidden. I understand your concern but rest assured."

"This place is my turf. Our conversion would be soundproof and would not leak."He assured Lucas with a caring gaze.

Lucas nodded and spoke solemnly.

"Before, I want you to promise me something."

"What\'s that?"

"If you want something, I will try my best to fulfill it unless it\'s out of my boundaries."

Ami gazed at Lucas with shock. She did not think Lucas would negotiate or ask for things.

If the information he provides is not worthy, it would be embarrassing not only for him but also for her.

"First, take a look at this, "Lucas said and pulled stacks of several pieces of paper, dairy, and parchment and put them over the table.

"What is this?"

"Please take a look. I have found this in the dungeon."Lucas smiled and leaned back.

Raising his brows, Vice-President Lee grabbed a file and looked over the contents. His brows creased with a deep frown appearing on his face.

His hands started to shake.

Even for a person who had experienced many storms, this was shocking.

Seeing ripples forming on his face, Ami was not able to suppress her curiosity and took a stack.

Her jaw stayed agape, and her eyes shifted from the contents of the paper and locked onto Lucas.

Noticing Lucas\'s uncomfortable gaze, her heart tore. These are the things that shouldn\'t be seen by kids.

Even though kids of 17 are sensible and mature, Ami did not want her students to read something like this which could affect their mentality. She observed each of her students and knew Lucas feels uncomfortable when it comes to killing and things like that affect them a lot.

Putting down the paper with a worried gaze, she extended her hands and patted Lucas.

"Lucas, you have it hard."

"Even a person like me who has gone through so much, feels disgusted after reading something like this so I am sure you might feel disturbed."

"If you are not feeling well, you can tell me. I can even arrange a psychiatrist for you."Ami\'s warm words stirred his heart and made him remember a sentence.

Teachers are like a kid\'s second parents. It\'s a blessing to meet a good and caring teacher at a time like this.

"I am fine for now. I will look for you in case of trouble."

Vice-President Lee gripped the paper tightly and controlled his urge to curse.

"Some people would stop at nothing. I knew that guy Zindell. He is a hell of a psychopath who sees lives as dust."

"I can\'t imagine that bastard continuing his crazy research."

Sighing heavily, he asked Lucas to narrate the events. Lucas nodded and spoke while he left some parts.

He handed over everything he had found except the recipe for Super Sensory potions. The other\'s potion recipes were neither written clearly nor were they tried and tested so there was no need to keep useless things filled with flaws that may prove detrimental.

That means they are worthless.

Still, he made sure to keep a copy of some important things that can prove useful in the future.

"Hmmmmm!"

"You have contributed greatly. Now, I understand why you were so secretive about it. Things like this can change one heart. Some people may even use this for profit. Moreover, we can not rule out the exception of spies."

"Since you kept the end of your bargain, I shall keep mine. Tell me what you want."

Lucas\'s dimmed eyes glowed as he tried to suppress the greed overflowing in his heart.

"I want two things."

"First, I need a life-saving artifact that can protect me in case of an accident."

\'Good choice,\' Ami praised Lucas inwardly.

"Second thing, can I get some money? I don\'t have much."

His face flushed with embarrassment a bit.

Vice-President Lee and Ami blinked a couple of times and then both burst into laughter.

"Hahahah!I see, you have a cute side. It\'s not good if you mature early,"Vice President Lee chuckled and pulled out a locket.

"This locket can be used three times. As long as your life is in peril it will form a barrier. No attack below 8-Star can scratch you. However, if the person attacks without any motive to kill, it will not activate."

"Remember it will only protect you in case your life is in threat."

"And about the money, leave it to me. I will give you a nice surprise," Vice President Lee gave Lucas a wink.

...

Walking out, Ami stretched herself a bit and said"It was a burdensome meeting."

"I am sure you are tired. Let\'s have lunch. I will treat you to a nice meal."

Lucas hardened his heart to stop himself from accepting her offer and said"Miss Ami, I want some time alone."

"Huhhhhhh!"

"This is my first time in the inner zone. I have some things to do here."

Ami paused in her tracks and looked at Lucas for a moment.

\'He might be feeling uncomfortable and want to breathe fresh air.\'

"Okay, go enjoy. Do you want a tip?"

"Nooo!"Lucas refuted.

"Call me if you find yourself in any trouble."

Ami after giving Lucas some instructions sat in her car and drove away.

Lucas sighed in relief. Thankfully, he did not encounter any difficulty till now.

"Entering the inner zone is difficult but once you are entered, you will not encounter much trouble."

.....

Two hours later, Lucas exited the carriage and stood before a Dessert Shop.

RING!

Lucas\'s phone vibrated due to several notifications. He unlocked his phone and gulped his saliva after seeing the notification.

His account had been credited with 100 million. And there was also a message from an unknown person.

[Message this number if you need more]

"I wish this world had stocks. I could have multiplied my money."

Lucas put down his phone with trembling hands and stared at the shop.

The Dessert Shop was massive with richly decorated windows filled with pastels and signboards containing pictorial representations of desserts.

From the outside, it looks beautiful and comfortable.

Lucas headed towards the back where the crowd was quite less compared to the front.

Pulling out a white mask, he covered his face wholly and put down his hood. He also wore gloves so that his fingerprint would not be left behind.

The guards standing at the door handed the mask to each person that entered inside.

Lucas, who already had masks after paying the entrance fee, went inside.

\'I hope Vallah doesn\'t disappoint me.\'
