At the dining table,
"Uncle Jas, Could you tell about Thomas Trade Centre?" I asked, I didn't stop there and continued asking, "I got surprised by the amount of trade they do on daily basis."
I didn't want to ask bluntly. Otherwise, I would be bombarded with their unnecessary questions. So, I am going to make them reveal so answers.
Hearing my question. Uncle Jas and Granny Park had a smile on their faces. They knew it, there won't be a day without so Q/A session at the dining table.
Granny Park said, "What did you find out on your visit?" she had an intrigued look on her face.
"Ha-ha, don't tell , you were stumped by Class 2 Monster there," Uncle Jas told without realizing he had revealed so answers. Which had brought a bright smile to my face..
"Finally, So tea. But, I will treat it as Intel." I comnted in my heart.
"Uncle Jas, Sorry to disappoint you. Nothing like that happened. On contrary, I made a transaction about 30 thousand credit points."
Hearing that they had a stupefied look on their face. Then I explained in great detail about Class 1 Monster Hyena's trade. I lied about their death. Just, I did with that Superior.
Both of them beco quite happy. And at the sa ti. I saw there is so hesitation on Uncle's face.
"What happened? Uncle Jas, Do you want to tell sothing?" I asked.
"Looks like your mind is currently occupied with Thomas Trade Centre that, you even forget about the hunter who tried to kill you." Uncle Jas reminded .
Hearing that, I couldn't deny him. It's almost true that I forget about that incident. My blood elent mystery has beco a more important issue now. But, I can't tell him.
When cos to Assassin. I believe I could handle Peak Trainee Apprentice. I hope, I won't co across anything above that. Otherwise, I had to run behind my tails.
When thought about escaping. I don't even have escaping technique. A month earlier, Due to a credit point shortage, I couldn't buy any technique from Alliance Network.
Before that, I need to answer him. "I didn't forget about it, Uncle Jas. On contrary, I want to focus on my next step."
My answer brought a smile to Granny's face especially. She said," He is right Jas. It's our job to handle sothing like that. He needs to train and beco stronger." Then she continued, "Don't pressure him with such a thing."
She looked at Uncle Jas. Uncle Jas nodded and said, "I just want to make sure that, he is on alert." Then he added," My aim to bring up this topic now is to discuss sothing."
Both I and Granny perked up our ears. I am more confused. Usually, Uncle Jas told everything to Granny Park. Don't know why he wants to go share now. "It must be confidential," I comnted in my heart.
Uncle Jas revealed by saying, "Our team has found out that, soone has hired him to kill you." Then he added," As expected we couldn't track the source; I believe they used him to test the water first."
"Did you inform my teacher?" it's sensible that, Uncle doesn't have access to high-tech quips and Intel. Even with that he and his team could gather sothing, which is highly comndable.
Uncle Jas nodded hearing that, He said, "Not only we inford him. But, we plan to hand over the attacker." He continued, "Both of us had the sa conclusion that there might be an increase in assassin attempts on you in the future."
Hearing that my mood becos sullen. My inner thought is screaming it says it wants to be at a quiet place, without worrying about anything.
But, I knew this is my life. All these problems would be nothing in front of Powerful and influential people. I want to be like them. I want to be strong. I don't want to be played by them.
All these roadblocks will only make stronger.
"Zack. Zack" Granny shouted in a low voice. Which had brought back to reality.
Seeing their face. I showed so smile and said, "Don't worry, I can safeguard myself. Just like I dismantled the hunter, I will remove anyone who tries to harm "
Suddenly, like a chain reaction. My aura got stirred. Seeing such a strange aura started to surround Zack.
"Zack, Calm your mind." Uncle Jas reminded . Hearing that I sighed, and in few monts my aura turned back normal.
"You brat, you are being short-tempered," Granny advised .
"Sorry, I'm just mad with these people. Why create unnecessary trouble for innocent people. Who yet to live their life fully." I replied.
Then both of them started to explain the system. Why it is needed. Checks and balances of the power structure. They are taking too much ti to explain.
"Zack, you idiot!" I cursed at myself. I shouldn't have reacted much. If I knew they will start to lecture. I would keep myself quiet.
Sotis later, the lecture was over. Seeing reacting normally and understood the reality of our world. They decided to let go.
I returned to my room and closed the door. It's ti for so browsing to be done. I logged into the alliance network and browsed the details of Thomas Trade Centre.
I got access to their server with the unique I.D I got from them. There were several tags ntioned in the server. I browse the categories of treasure.
There were a lot of subcategories under Treasure. They were ranging from rare herbs to flowers, alchemy liquids, and unidentified tals, and finally mineral stones, unlike affinity stones these stones were different. They were mostly axillary.
Such as calming stone. I ca across this unique stone. While looking at the mineral stone tag. It is a small egg-like structure. Sold at the price rate of 100 thousand credit points.
This Calming stone helps in strengthening ntal power. I suddenly got an urge to buy this stone. But, I don't have enough credit points to do that.
I sighed at the thought of that and continued browsing.
There were several treasures. Which were quite useful to my brain unlocking. For that, I need to have so credit points. Each treasure was sold at such a high price.
Looks like whenever possible, I need to hunt so Class 1 Monster. Only by having enough credit points. I can buy without any hesitation.
Soti later, I stopped browsing and went to sleep.
anwhile, Far away distance from this place at a secluded underground facility.
The Masked Man sitting in a chair. He is gently tapping on a table, thinking sothing.
If soone takes out his mask now and get looks at his actual reaction. They will be quite scared. He had a crazy distorted look on his face.
I never thought that Hunter would get caught by Army Authorities. It's not quite clear yet whether he is taken out by Zack Lockwood or by soone else.
By the ti now, they will be searching for my trail. I have to delay the attack for the ti being.
He didn't stress on this matter. He believes that the hunter must have been intercepted by soone. He didn't even think about Zack's capabilities. The Hunter being Mid Trainee Apprentice. On top of it, the hunter is a fire elent user. He thought it's impossible to move him.
So, the Masked Man is quite confident of him. But, now he has to be patient.
Soon, the Masked Man got a visitor. One of his n brought Intel. He let him inside. After reading intel from his n.
"So, More than 50% of people in the Kill list were killed successfully." The masked man comnted.
He then mumbled, "Even though I hired few assassins to do the job. Nonetheless, the result is satisfying."
And he continued, "Only a few more people, then I can successfully ask for a higher position in the organization."
He then closed his eye and went into deep thinking.
anwhile, At Zack's room at Next day.
"Last ti, Mr. Arthur Erson gave Mind Fruit. Hope, this ti there will be sothing special." As I looked at the ssage, where Mr. Arthur Erson asked to visit his office.
After having breakfast with the family. I boarded the train.
So hours later,
"Knock. Knock"
I knocked on the door of Mr. Arthur Erson's cabin.
"Co in" He let inside.
As I entered, I found him operating on the sci-fi projection screen. I took my seat and asked, "Mr. Arthur, Did you procure all the material on the list."
For so second, he didn't respond. Monts later he turned off his protection screen and looked at .
"I called you for this exact reason." Saying that he placed a silver case in front of .
I opened the case and found a scroll on it. By looking at it, I know it's so kind of technique. But, I didn't read it. I gently closed the case.
It can be read-only at the ti of rune formation. But I had a vague feeling saying that it's sothing else.
"What kind of technique it is?" I asked.
Hearing that Mr. Arthur said, "You ntioned in the list that, you need leg technique."
I nodded at him, I never ntioned lightning technique. It must be a common technique followed by warriors like a hand-to-hand combat technique.
But, why it is inscroll? For a second, I thought I had to form rune in my consciousness.
Mr. Arthur Erson said, "Like hand to hand combat technique. It's a leg technique. It can help you in the utilization of your leg power. During the fight, you can move your feet quicker to evade and esacpe."
