Fortune's Call's building was as busy as it always was, rcenaries conversing and laughing loudly, so trying to look for suitable missions for themselves, so returning from their missions and reporting the results.
It was just any other random day in Fortune's Call with no difference at all.
Step Step
Suddenly, an extrely beautiful figure walked into the building, and in an instant, this 'busy and loud' building turned silent.
Males and females alike stared at the woman, unable to utter a single word,
Now one had to know, this was Nexus, a rcenary World, a world that welcos thousands of different races on a daily basis. If one tried to count the number of different races they see in this place, the number would be in six digits, and because of this, the 'beauty perception' here was a ss.
If a woman was beautiful in one's eyes, there would be many who wouldn't even bat an eyelid at her.
The figure, however, seed to be an exception to this rule, attracting the attention of all the races present here.
It was a welco not many received; the figure, however, ignored it all and walked towards the counter where a three-eyed woman was sitting.
Seeing the woman walking towards her, Arshia was slightly intimidated.
The woman had long black hair, dark, hollow eyes that showed no emotions. Yes, her face was extrely beautiful, but she gave off an extrely unapproachable aura.
"I need to et a man nad Simba."
The woman spoke, her voice cold just as one would expect.
"S-Simba...?"
Arshia stuttered.
It was quite a rare sight; after all, she had t a fair share of people far more intimidating than this woman.
Sure, this woman had a big presence, but it wasn't enough to make Arshia stutter. Arshia's reaction was different because she noticed sothing.
This woman...
She felt like she had t her before...
No, more accurately, she had t a woman with similar features before...
'Riona Leander...'
She recalled a na, and the mont she did, she thought of an extrely handso
man.
'Nux...'
"Do you not know him? I was told I would find him here."
Arshia's thoughts were interrupted by the woman's cold voice, which seed to have gotten even colder for so reason.
"H-He is here."
Arshia nodded.
Normally, not just anyone could et Simba, especially not soone who just barged into this place.
However, Arshia could tell this was important, so she decided to use her own authority. "I-I will take you to him, follow ."
She spoke as she stood up.
The woman nodded, and the two moved to the second floor.
On the second floor, inside a certain office, Simba stared at the woman sitting in front of him with a cold look on her face.
"So you are Simba? I have heard about you."
Amaya spoke, her voice indifferent.
"What do you want from ?"
Simba questioned back. His voice didn't lack a sense of authority, but at the sa ti, it carried a hint of respect.
It seed like he was scared of offending this woman, but at the sa ti, he also didn't want to co out subservient.
"A while ago, two Sovereign Humans took the Black Mission. You were the one who handled that matter, correct?"
"Y-Yes, that did happen."
Simba nodded.
He knew he was stronger than this woman, but for so reason... the woman's presence was simply too intimidating.
Or maybe it was because Simba already knew where this woman ca from.
"How many people know about it?"
Suddenly, the woman questioned.
"What...?"
Simba was taken aback.
"That troublemaker took that mission. How many people know about it?"
"N-Not many.
Most rcenary Halls keep the details regarding that mission a secret for... reasons."
Simba replied.
The mission's difficulty only increases as more rcenaries fail. One of the rcenary Halls was even annihilated because their attempt increased the mission's difficulty
exponentially,
Because of this, in order to not attract 'their' attention, most rcenary Halls keep it a secret whenever a rcenary picks that mission.
If this woman was indeed from the place he thought she was from, then she should
know what he was talking about.
Amaya nodded at Simba's words, confirming his doubts.
'She... is from a Supre World as well...
She's likely associated with the sa force that monster belonged to.'
Simba's face turned grim.
Then,
"Get rid of it."
Suddenly, Amaya ordered.
"W-What...?"
Simba stuttered.
"Nux and Riona Leander never ca to you and took that mission, is that clear?"
"I-L..."
Simba didn't know how to react.
He found himself in a difficult spot.
The woman in front of him was only a Sovereign. He was much stronger than her. She shouldn't be ordering him around like this... but...
"Simba."
Suddenly, the woman called out.
The mont Simba looked into her eyes, she leaned forward and,
"Till now, you have handled every single situation perfectly. I can sense that you are treading carefully and are constantly thinking your actions through.
That's a good sign."
She praised, but then, in a voice so cold that Simba felt shivers down his spine, she
continued,
"Don't ss this up now."
Simba couldn't even speak.
"Nux Leander ca here, defeated all the rcenaries to spread his na all over
Nexus, and then disappeared.
He never took any other mission after that. Is that clear?"
"Y-Yes."
Simba nodded.
Amaya then tapped her finger on the table and,
"I can leave the matter in your hands, correct?"
Simba nodded again.
"Good."
Amaya stood up.
"It was nice talking to you, Simba.
Oh, and of course, this eting never happened either. Just keep this in your mind."
Saying those words, the woman walked out of the office and reached the first floor.
Just as she was about to leave the building,
"You seem new here. Would you like to guide you? Trust , you can pay any way yo
"
A man with a smile that told everything Amaya needed to know walked towards her
and...
Whoosh
Before the man could get close to her, he was surrounded by Black Mist, and when the
Mist disappeared, so did the man.
And the woman walked out of the building, not even acknowledging the man's presence.
Simba, who saw this scene with his sense, turned solemn.
"Absolute Law..."
He muttered.
"Did she tell you who she was...?"
Simba heard a familiar voice.
