Chapter 187: Chapter 187 - Final Instructions
Hearing his question all the people inside the car quieted down immediately.
Carl became anxious as he was assaulted by their eyes that were looking at him condescendingly.
He wondered whether he had made a mistake asking such a question or not.
"Wh- Why are you guys looking at me like that?" He asked without knowing why they looked at him like that.
Delmar spoke through the speakers.
"Carl"
"Yeah?"
"I know that the boss said to ask any questions and you might be asking that because you're going on a high risk mission but still… Why are you asking such a stupid question?"
Carl face became even more confused at being asked like that.
"Hah?"
"What the irritating guy from the speaker is saying is that why do you think that an auction house like that has still stood over so many years?"
Carl slowly understood what Adam was saying to him but continued to listen to him.
"Why do you think that place is still able to produce so many high quality items while staying safe from most of critical attacks?"
Carl didn't answer but he knew that he was about to be educated on that fact.
"Is it because that place is one of the best auction houses in the Escana continent?"
"Maybe…"
"Wrong, it's literally the opposite."
"The place is the best because it can guarantee the safety of the items."
"And that's just one of the reasons why that place is the one of the best. Not only does it have good security but it also has high amount of firepower hidden under many places of that place."
"And The Guards… the guards themselves can take up a battalion of royal forces by their small number. And some of them even are high leveled Mana Users that could uproot a city if they combined their strength."
"It doesn't just end their, No. But they also have many surveillance methods that not only safeguard the items but also stay away from the VIP's path. You would find a camera on every corner of that house and those are just on the surface."
"Who knows what kind of traps and machines they have hidden in that place."
"Last time I heard some powerful mana user tried to steel from that place. The results… BOOM"
Carl jumped slightly at the jump scare as he heard.
"The guy couldn't even go to the place where they safeguard the items and was blown to smithereens just from the traps that were hidden in that place."
Carl started sweating as he now understood, how strong that auction house truly was. He also now knew why everybody in the car was looking at him like he had asked one of the dumbest question there is.
But now he was even more scared of going to that place. Before he was little confident because of his new outlook and because the guy he would be going with was supposed to be quite strong.
But as he listened to the story more and more, the only thing he felt was fear.
Not just because he was going there to buy an ancient sword that was the envy of many but also because of the person next to him.
Carl looked at Adam who was looking at him with no clear emotions on his face and thought.
'Not only is that place is under very high security but I am also going there with someone who is currently labeled as one of the most wanted criminals.'
'Isn't that literally just giving us out to them?'
Carl was hesitant to ask them about it but the fear of being blown up by machine guns and smashed to pieces by high leveled monsters got to him.
"But boss… what about him?" Carl pointed towards Adam.
Adam through was a little angry at being pointed like that he still agreed with him.
"Yeah, He is right. What about me? How is it that you were going to hide me again?"
"Oh! That huh. That's easy."
Because he was sitting on the backward front side of the car, William had to turn his head back and spoke.
"George, Give me that thing Delmar had given you."
"Here, Sir." George immediately opened the front compartment of the car and took a package out and gave it to him.
William quickly tore through it and gave the two items to the people in front of him.
Adam and Carl saw that it was two ID Cards with their faces on it while the Subject level said Class A."
But Adam was looking at the ID Card in his hand with anger in his eyes.
"What the f*ck kind of joke is this?"
"Hmm, What happened? Is there something wrong with the ID's?"
Adam said angrily to him, "Yes, There is something wrong with them. Something very very wrong with them."
"What is it?" William face was curious as he looked at the cards until he understood what he meant.
"The NAME! Who the hell has a name called 'Shod Butlick'?"
William sighed as he knew why the name was like that.
"What? Let me look at that for a second… Haha, It really is named Butlick huh."
Carl who was laughing at the name immediately shut up as he saw the look Adam was giving him.
"Let me look at your name."
"See! Yours not that better than mine too."
"What are you talking about? It's a good name."
"WHO in their right mind is called 'Mish Trigger'!"
Carl thought about what he said and after a while his face also darkened.
"Yeah… Now I see that your right."
"… Are you sure that you are a professional?"
"Yeah, I'm sure. I have a law degree from Licked."
"…"
"It's not my fault. If you want to blame someone talk to Delmar, He's the one who made the ID's." William said as he quickly threw the blame towards the one person who was smiling wickedly from where he hid.
"I should have known it would be the work of someone who would have such nefarious thoughts."
"What are you talking about? The names are very much common among people."
"Nobody even in their wrong mind would have a name like… Butlick."
"Hehe" Delmar cackled quietly but it was heard through the speakers as black clouds started forming above Adam's head.
"You know what… I'm going to have fun being employed over here." Adam said as he shocked everyone on and outside the car as well.
Delmar through shocked still asked, "Oh! And why is that?"
"Because of how good it's going to feel when I slice you into millions of pieces with my new sword."
Instead of becoming angry at the threat, Delmar smiled as he said.
"Is that so?"
"Yeah, Very much so."
"Well guess what. I am also going to have fun."
"Let me guess… by killing me?"
"No no, That would be too boring. It's much more fun trying to hurt a cattle while making him beg to kill him."
"Well I'm-"
William didn't let it continue anymore, "Well's that's enough camaraderie for now. Tell me what your main objectives are?"
"Get the sword and get out of there as fast as we can. But boss what if we get encircled by one of the groups?"
"You do the most common thing… Run"
