(From MC's Perspective)
Soon both of us reached the area of East Wood Company. In a few breaths, we arrived in front of the front gate. Seeing such a beautiful structure, I paused for a mont.
I thought the intelligence selling company would look like an old run down building. But here they are doing their business openly in broad daylight.
I wrinkled my eyebrows in confusion. Seeing my bewildernt, Remington Talley chuckled and led towards the building.
On the way, Remington thought about sothing and said in a solemn tone, "Don't ask any unnecessary questions."
On hearing, I raised my eyebrows slightly. I don't know why he said that, but I nodded at him.
Getting my affirmation, Remington Talley didn't say anything, and we quietly approached the lift to reach the 4th floor.
My face revealed a puzzled expression.At that mont, I hear a voice beside . "East Wood Company also buys and sells artifacts," Remington Talley said.
Hearing that, I nodded. It is no wonder they have built such an exclusive building. And I had really misunderstood earlier.
Soon, we reached the 4th floor.
When we walked out of the lift, I spotted a burly-looking middleaged man right in front of us. His sudden appearance caught off guard. I imdiately stepped back in a defensive position.
Remington Talley hurriedly said, "This is a place where information can be sold and bought. And this person is responsible for guarding the floor. "
Hearing that, I breathed in relief. Their thods were totally different from what I had imagined. Don't these intelligence companies usually follow so sort of secrecy?
On the other hand, the burly middle-aged man imdiately walked back to inform his superior. I saw Remington was quietly waiting for him to co back. Then I decided to wait as well.
Soon the burly middle-aged man ca back and inford us that we could enter the room.
Remington Talley turned towards and said, "Let's go."
Hearing that, I followed along.
"Creak," the door opens.
As we stepped inside, I found two people sitting behind the desk side by side in front of us. One is a 60-year old man and the other one is a young man like .
On the other hand, Tucker Nelson was surprised by Remington's sudden visit. Suddenly, he stared at the young man beside him.
He couldn't think of anyone related to Remington Talley. Then he smiled and said, "Reminginton, co on, take your seat and you too, young man."
Besides, Lewis Nelson sat silently. He watched both of them with so what curiosity. He doesn't know the purpose of their visit.
At the sa ti, Remington Talley let out a small laugh, "Ha...Ha...Ha."
"Mr. Nelson, how have you been?" He asked.
Seeing Mr. Remington is starting a conversation. I quietly followed him along and sat beside him.
Then I found the young man staring at with curiosity.
On the other hand, Old Man Nelson reveals a bitter smile and says, "Well, I'm doing fine. So what information do you want?"
Hearing that, Mr. Remington suddenly turned towards before saying, "Cough." "Mr. Nelson, we ca here to sell information."
"We?" Old Man Nelson raised his eyebrows in surprise.
I found his gaze on .
SIGH
I thought it would be better for to start the conversation.
"Hi, Mr. Nelson. My na is Zack, and I'm one of the City Warriors, "I said."
Then I added further by saying, "During the mission in the insect forest, I have gathered so information and I would like to sell it."
"Hmmm," the old man Nelson, taken by the young man's words.
At this ti, Remington added, "This young man is a friend of mine. And his words were quite credible. That's why I brought him here. "
"Oh," Old Man Nelson said.
Beside his grandson, Lewis suddenly asked, "Which team are you from?"
My heart skipped a beat, but I calmly answered, " I don't belong to any team. I just wandered around the broader of the outer areas. "
"Harumph!" Lewis snorted in disdain. He didn't believe the words coming out of the young man's mouth. In particular, the young man who appeared to be the sa age as him.
Lewis would have believed if the person had so background, like the backing of so strong team. But on hearing that he had ventured solo, Lewis doesn't know whether to laugh or cry.
On the other hand, Old Man's face turned ugly. He too had the sa thought as his grandson. This young man's words were too hard to believe. Looking at the young man, he didn't know what to say. He imdiately glared at Remington Talley for an answer.
Seeing the unbelievable look of old man Nelsom, Remington let out a bitter laugh, "Ha...Ha..Ha."
Then he said, "I knew you guys wouldn't believe that easily. But trust , the information is much more valuable than you think."
Seeing that Mr. Remington ca to my rescue, I sighed in relief. Looking at the expressions of these people, I felt they were really too much. At least they should have listened to my words.
SIGH
Old Man Nelson decided to give himself up to Remington. At the sa ti, he finds the young man quite interesting. He wants to hear what he wants to say.
Then, looking at the young man nad Zack, he asked, "Young man, tell what you want to share."
On the other hand, Remington had already predicted what would happen when they heard information about the insect forest.
At the sa ti, I began to gradually explain the insect forest. I omitted the so crucial information from my explanation. I only knew bits and pieces of the insect forest, including so places where bandits used to take rest.
When I started to explain, I found the faces of everyone slowly starting to change. But without minding them, I continued to share the information.
Soon, when I completed my words,
I heard a loud laugh from the young man in front of , "Ha...Ha...Ha..."
Lewis Nelson couldn't take it any longer.He let out a hearty laugh. He looked at Zack with a strange gaze.
An unknown warrior who wandered around the outer area is now sharing information about the inner part of the insect forest. What nerve has he got? He really thinks everyone is a fool here.
In particular, it's too hard to believe that this information is gathered by overhearing others' conversations. Lewis shakes his head in disapproval and looks at his grandfather.
Old Man Nelson's face turned ugly. His early expectations were completely swept away. He looked at Zack with a threatening glare. because he found Zack's words really baseless.
There is no supporting evidence to back up his claim. Especially since Zack himself said earlier that he was in the outer area, then how did he know about the inner area? Just by overhearing?
Then he imdiately shifted his attention towards Reminginton Talley. While gnashing his teeth in anger, he looked at Remington with a blaring gaze.
"Remington, Before I throw you out. It's best for you to leave with this person right now," Old Man Nelson said in anger.
Hearing that, Reminginton Talley gulped his saliva. He really doesn't know what's going on. Because Zack had shared a simple version of information with him. But here he had elaborated on sothing which he wasn't aware of.
To be honest, he too felt so of the information shared by Zack was hard to believe. Especially, the information about the insect bugs found in the inner area, it's unbelievable.
Even the strongest team thinks twice before entering the inner area. But Zack is describing the information as if he had personally gone there.
He found that old man Nelson was still glaring at him. Before he gets pissed off completely, it's best to leave from here. He then turned towards Zack and said, "Let's leave."
At the sa ti, after seeing the reaction of these people, My heart is boiling in rage. I had really thought I could make so money by selling the information. But it looks like it won't be possible.
I felt bitter inside. Next, I hear the sound of small laughter. I looked at the young man in front of with a cold gaze. This young man had so facial features like the old man. I bet this person might be his grandson.
On the other hand, Lewis Nelson shuddered at feeling the cold gaze of Zack. The next mont, he felt goosebumps all over his body. "What is going on?" He thought to himself.
Then he looked at Zack with a completely different gaze.
"Zack?" Remington Talley called out my na.
Hearing that, I retracted my thoughts and nodded at Remington. Then both of us left the cabin. On the way, I found Mr. Remington had sothing to talk about.
But he didn't talk straight away. I waited for us to leave this building. After waking out of the lift, we strolled towards the exit. In a few breaths, we exited the building.
I found Remington looking at with a complicated gaze. Seeing that, I sighed inside. It looked like he too didn't believe . But I feel if I had told my real identity, this wouldn't have been the case.
Now that my plan has ended in failure, I don't want to waste ti anymore by explaining to Remington.
