Chapter 479: Old Acquaintance
Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma TranslationsIn Demonic City, at the first floor of a luxurious condominium in the center of the city, Jessica smiled and greeted the man before her. It was a man who had golden hair and blue eyes, as well as a tall and slender figure. He was wearing an extremely expensive tailored suit. He smiled and said to Jessica, “Why, aren’t you inviting me to go up and have a seat?”
Jessica’s smile was like the brilliant sun. “Not today, my younger sister is around. I’ll invite you over next time when she’s not around.”
The man smiled and teased Jessica for a little while more before entering the sports car next to them. As the engine started to run with a great roar, he left.
Watching the gradual disappearance of the sports car’s tail lights, Jessica exhaled as if she had been relieved of a burden. “Phew, that’s settled.”
Thinking of the man’s income, family background, and his magic prints abilities, Jessica broke into a satisfied smile. “Gustav isn’t that bad, but is just a bit of a player.”
While in a good mood, Jessica gradually entered the lift. With a height of 1.8 meters, a pair of long legs, and a head of brilliant golden long hair, she caused the security guard to gulp.
Jessica slowly arrived at the door to her place.
She had co-purchased this condominium unit together with a cousin of hers. Although they were both members of the Medici Clan, one of the Five Great Clans, both she and her cousin were considered to be a part of the declining side branch. They could be said to have no power or influence, let alone have the ability to borrow the power of their clan. The only thing they could do was make sure that no one could bully them easily.
If it had not been because of that event two years ago, it would probably have been impossible for her toco-purchase this unit with her cousin.
Furthermore, she had made consecutive advancements on the way, jumping up three positions. She was now the Deputy Chief of the prefecture’s police department. Additionally, Jessica had been funded for her job transition by her workplace and was now a second transition level 29 expert.
After all, as long as magic prints Warriors had sufficient resources, they would be able to easily complete their job transition and level up. Unless the individual took the initiative to temper their attributes and specialties instead, they would just continue rising to level 29 after completing their job transition.
Jessica was, of course, not a Warrior who would put hard work into her cultivation. Therefore, after becoming the Deputy Chief and receiving funding for her job transition, she chose to go up all the way to level 29.
However, thinking back on that event two years ago still made Jessica frown slightly, and there seemed to be a hint of guilt in her eyes.
Shaking her head like she wanted to shake away all of these troubles, Jessica opened the door and said with a smile, “Mary, I’m back. Gustav sent me back. Hehe, I feel that he is infatuated with me now.”
However, the moment Jessica entered the apartment, she discovered that it was completely dark. There was not even a single sound responding to her.
The instant she stepped into the apartment, all the hair on Jessica’s body stood up. She felt as if she had stepped into a demon’s den, and endless malevolent intent and thoughts shrouded toward her. It was as if she had just arrived at the infernal regions.
As expected of having been a police officer for many years, Jessica took in a deep breath and calmed herself. She carefully observed the situation in the room and noticed that there was a black figure sitting quietly on the sofa. The room was too dark, so she could not see who the person was. However, she saw that they seemed to be wearing a strange bangle on their wrist.
Jessica could sense that all the malevolent intents were all coming from that bangle.
