Loading... please wait.

As the receptionist was apologizing to Nick the people around looked who was the person that caused her to be so respectful.

"Hey do you know that guy?"

"No , I've never seen him around here before. "

They saw a short haired tall man with a young face not older than 20 years old. He was wearing a simple attire and didn't seem to fit in with the rest of the crowd. He looked like he worked in a labor  intensive job and not anything related to trading. He didn't look that smart and had a plain face that you would forget really soon , but he had a poise to him that seemed like he towered the other people around him. Also behind him was a beastfolk that just stood there quietly.

" It's no problem I understand , just hurry up a little because I'm in a hurry."

" Yes , certanly !"

She then reached to grab something under the table. Nick didn't understand what that was for , but I didn't ask.

"I just called for my superior so you can ask her anything. I apologise for making you wait."

"No problem."

 He waited for about 3 minutes when a woman came slowly towards the receptionist. She talked to the receptionist in a hushed voice for a while seemingly trying to understand the situation and the faced Nick and smiling said.

" Hello esteemed costumer , I am Ms Elena ,one of the supervisors of this branch. Firstly let me apologize for the wait and if you have any complaints please tell me."

Nick took a sideways glance at the receptionist who was slightly shaking and said.

"No no, I am content. The receptionist was very professional and helpful."

"Is that so!

Then if you could follow me please,I will be taking you two gentlemen to the our VIP room."

He and Munnji followed Ms Elena and after walking through a series of complicated corridors we finally arrived at their destination. She opened the door  and motioned with her hand for them to enter first.

The room was very spacious about 20 m² and decorated with various paintings, sculptures of different beings he hadn't seen before . The walls were painted white and decorated with silver and gold lines to the edge of them. In the room was a table seemingly carved from marble but the colour was a pale gold. Around it were two couches in opposite sides of the table that seemed to be made from the leather of some kind of beast. They sat down to one of the couches while Ms Elena went to the side where there was an assortment of bottles in a small wooden table.

" Would you gentlemen like to drink anything?"

Nick not wanting to look ignorant in front of her requested the only thing that she was sure to have and that was ,water.

" Yes, we  would like a coup if  water if possible."

" Certainly.

And would you like your water to be room temperature or cold?"

He and Munnji looked at each other for a split second before they answered.

" Cold please."

She then took one of the crystal clear bottles from the table that seemed to contain a clear liquid , presumably water.She then took two glasses from the side of the table and then filled them before giving them.Nick took a mouthful of the water and to his surprise it was indeed cold.

' It's really cold water. '

He was surprised to find out that they had cold water because there didn't seem to be any ice in the glass or the bottle. He drank the water in one gulp and she refilled his glass before excusing herself.

" I will inform Mr Faley of your arrival , so please make yourself comfortable."

*Clack*

The door closed behind her leaving the two of they alone in the room. Not resisting their curiosity they looked around for a while at the decorations all over the room and both of them came to a conclusion.The decorations were all masterpieces even to their untrained eyes.

' It seemed the token that Faley gave us was more valuable than we had thought.'

After taking in the surroundings Nick decided to send a soul message to Munnji as they had created a soul link since  the beginning which had helped him greatly to communicate with Munnji and then slowly learn his language so he could  also communicate to the other inhabitants of this world. His speaking skills were decent enough, but his writing skills were very bad.

[ The place is very lavish, it seems that Faley has given us a lot of importance ,but I can't shake the feeling that he is trying to rope us into something .]

[ Are you sure? Maybe his intentions are not what you think. Maybe he was just trying to help us.]

[ Heh, maybe you are right , but we have to take everything into consideration.Do you remember the law of the jungle?]

[ The survival of the fittest!]

[ Yes, you are correct. 

And do you know the law of humans?]

[ ...no.]

[ You have to give something  in order to get something .

The law of exchange.]
