Chapter 175 XII Edward Branches (1/2)

Heading to the tallest building in the city, the middle-age man walked with short steps while the people around him stared at his face with surprise before looking at the screen in  their wrists before staring at the man with with shocked faces. Today was the national holiday to celebrate the fall of the royal family and the end of the monarchy. A couple hundred thousand people gathered at the city plaza enjoy this important holiday together all the events it has today like the special show of the first Demigod singer, Hamon.

Stopping by a food stall, the middle-aged man with a simpatic face while wearing his dark-blue suit spoke to the woman at stall, ”I would like two hot-dogs and uma can of cola.”

”Understood.” With nimble movements of a cultivator in the super-human realm, the ingredients jumped and organized in the air before falling into each large bread. At the same time, she summoned a can of cola from the bracelet in her arm and handed it to him.

”It will be ten copper coins.” A single coin appeared out of thin air and he passed to the woman who was just about to say he had forgotten to pay the rest when she noticed the silver luster of the coin. It was not a copper coin but a silver coin!

One silver coin was about a fifty copper coins but some people would not even exchange for a hundred coins. Scared by the value of the coin she received, she searched the man to return his coin but he had vanished while a huge crowd appeared in his place.

Finally reaching the tallest building in the city, today known as the Zetrad Palace. The place where congress would gather every morning to discuss the political issues of the nation. In the past, this majestic place was the palace where the royal family of all the previous kingdoms lived but this had changed since the rise of the congress twenty years ago which made the fall of the royal family possible.

”Welcome my Lord, all the other lords are waiting for you in the chamber.” Said a female Secretary as she walked in between the crowd of people that started gathering around him.

”I understand.”Nodding with his head, he looked at the crowd around him and said,”I'm happy everyone is doing their part to make this world better. Keep up the good work, I should go now. There are many important people like me waiting for me.”

As he walked away, Elijah followed him while observing the unknown faces trying to see if there was someone he knew.

.....

Hours later, when everyone walked out of the chamber, the middle-aged man received a call that made his harden his face before he took a cab to outside the city. There, a white-haired man with eyes colder than ice had his  eyes lit when he saw the middle-aged man.

”Hello Edward. How many years had it been exactly?” It was possible to see a friendly tone of voice while he spoke with Edward, the total opposite of his cold stare.

”Don't play with me Biman or I should say Hamon. Since when your family started making missions here again? I remember this world was given to me by you when I helped break your seal and then kill your brother. Why are you here now?” Edward spoke with a hint of anger behind his eyes, it was clear that seeing the person here made him angry.

”It is not my family that send me here. I'm here to return the favor I owe you and could not pay since you were arrested by that old bitch...” Coughing a few times, he continued: ”Let me get to the point, are you still searching for the Chintamani Stone?”
