Rebirth: The Villainous Young Master Doesn't Want to Follow the Script

************

Regarding the information of their client, who the receptionist had given to them, the client's name is GILBERT HERRER.

'Hmmm. I don't quite remember encountering someone who had a name like this.'

He thought as he recalled the details provided by the receptionist about this man named Gilbert Herrer.

According to the information provided, Gilbert Herrer is an adult young man around in his mid-20's. He came from a middle-class background since he was rumored to be a half-blood noble as his father is a Count and he's one of his father's illegitimate children.

There is nothing about his mother's background as there are no information about her but only conclude that she is from a humble background and nothing else.

Since Gilbert is an illegitimate child of a Count, from the information given to them, he left the Count's household at the age of 15 and started a business on his own.

Now, his company [Zeril] is one of the top merchant companies within the empire and not only that, there is an information regarding his connection to one of the high-ranking noble households in the empire but there is no specific name for that household from the information provided.

'Why am I seeing myself to this guy? Never mind.'

He thought as he brushed off those thoughts as he looked at the portrait of the said client for them to recognize if ever, they were going to meet that Gilbert guy after the retrieval of the item.

As the world-hopper read that information over and over again through his mind, he frowned because a sudden question popped into his mind.

'Why would someone like him, a merchant and an art collector on top of that, know about the [Ring of Razilla] and its possible location? Did he hired someone to looked for the information about this item?'

No, that's not it.

What makes the world-hopper find it odd is that, how does this Gilbert person even know about the [Ring of Razilla] personally?

He sighed as he felt a headache because of too much thinking about that item.

Back at the guild, Eclipse was taken aback when he saw on the commission board about the [Ring of Razilla] and since the commission is an S-rank, no one paid attention to it and that's why before someone could even tried to get that commission, he immediately took it since he wanted to confirm if the [Ring of Razilla] that he knew is the same on the commission pamphlet stated.

'We need to find the ring first before confronting that person. I need to fish out some information from him if necessary.'

LOCATION: VALLEY OF THE DEEP, SOUTHEASTERN PART OF CLIFFTON EMPIRE

They had arrived at the entrance of the Valley of the Deep, according to the source that they had gathered and it's exactly how the locals described this place.

"Yup! Pretty sure that this is the Valley of the Deep, according to the locals out there. A truly deep seethed place filled with nothing but vast darkness that surrounds this place. It feels like we are about to enter some dangerous zone from here."

They arrived at the borders that lies the Valley of the Deep at noon where the sun still strikes from the sky.

However, upon arriving at the innermost entrance towards the Valley of the Deep, the sun no longer reaches them and only darkness looms within the surrounding area.

'Is this some kind of outside dungeon or something? Because based on my observation, it seems like this valley isn't truly part of the empire, or partly, maybe?'

He didn't have the time to study the history of this empire that much, so Eclipse only had a general idea about this empire and the Valley of the Deep is unfamiliar to him as he only got to know about it because of the commission quest they had.

"Also, we have been warned by the locals out there about the creatures that lurks during the night here. Better to keep those warnings in mind and it's not bad to think about the warnings they gave us though."

Arico said that Eclipse snapped from his daze as he looked at the Slayer Agent with his eyebrow raised at him.

"But you love dangerous creatures, don't you? Also, since when did we ever follow those pathetic warnings, eh? Now, this place is a perfect fit for us to let out our innermost instincts, right? Then, let's have our own feast then."

The world-hopper said as he smirks at his companion and prepared himself.

Arico, on the other hand, shook off his head and chuckled because of Eclipse's statement since what he said is the truth anyway.

'Yeah, right. They are just creatures and stuff anyway. Besides, the creatures on this worldline are nothing to us and we have nothing to fear, other than our existence would cease to exist if we ever violate some of the system laws back at the Main House.'

He thought as he unleashed the primary power that most of the agents and world-hoppers back at the Main House System were familiar with.

'Ah! It feels like since forever that I haven't activated this power of mine in a long time and I only used my second attribute in this worldline since activating my primary power in a plain site could be dangerous.'

He thought as he saw his arm changing into something that most of the agents and world-hoppers from the Main House System are much more familiar with and the moment they saw Arico's primary power on plain site, be prepared then.

The second attribute he presented the moment he became an adventurer, known as [SHAPESHIFTING], where he could shapeshift to any forms of beasts or creatures that he could register upon drinking their blood and that's what Arico has been known for whenever he's doing a commission as an adventurer in this empire.

Right now, as Arico completely unleashed his primary power, his aura became different as his eyes became dark crimson with hexagonal-shaped irises and his form became even more malevolent with claws sharper than most of the beasts had ever known and appearance most likely akin to the most dangerous existence that could be on par with the Gods above.

This is the reason why Arico is widely known as the most notorious cold-blooded agent within the Slayer Department back at the Main House System.

And that's because of his first attribute, his primary power is called [DEMONIC AUTHORITY; HELLPHASTUS AURA OF DOMAIN].
