Chapter 468: Highest Discussion (1/2)
In his office, Arnaud, who was busy dealing with the extra work, suddenly woke up from his workaholic mode by a call.
He turned his head around and looked at his device, finding Roselyn's name on it.
He picked up the call and heard Roselyn's voice.
”Hello, Sir Arnaud.”
”Oh, Roselyn?! You don't need to be polite to me anymore, you know. After all, you have become far stronger than me.” Arnaud chuckled.
”No, Sir. That can't be done. Respect is something gained, not forced on you just because someone is older or higher than you.”
”Haha. Fine, I won't say anything about it anymore.” Arnaud paused for a moment and raised his vision, finding someone in front of his door.
Knock.
Knock.
Someone knocked on the door twice before opening the door, peeking inside the room. He was a young man in his early twenty. He made a weird expression as he opened his mouth. ”I'm sorry, Sir. But there is an important guest who is searching for you.”
”…” Arnaud furrowed his eyebrows, feeling that there was something big in this call since Roselyn must have explained the mission to Kai. Hence, he tried to probe things first with Roselyn. ”Can you wait for me a bit?”
”This is actually super important, Sir. It's the revision of the mission plan of our expansion from Sir Kai Carter. There are a few major deals that need to be taken care of.”
After thinking for a moment, Arnaud decided to prioritize Roselyn and asked the young man, ”Can you tell her to wait for me a bit? There is an even more important matter I need to handle.”
”This… I will tell her.” When the young man was about to leave the room, a green-haired woman pushed the door open as she entered the room. She wore a long purple dress, hiding her curves not to make someone go into a trance. ”So, is this important enough to make me wait, Arnaud?”
The one who entered the room was none other than the Poison Master, Rena Alberona, Leisa's mother.
”I have felt your presence and know who my guest is. That's why I'm putting you aside right now.” Arnaud facepalmed.
”Does Sir have an important matter?” Roselyn asked.
”Oh! The sound… It sure rings in my head… Is she your girl? What is her name again… Roselyn? The new S Rank Magician.” She narrowed her eyes.
”This… Ma'am Rena.” Roselyn recognized her voice as well.
But to avoid any confrontation, Arnaud quickly stopped Rena. ”I'm afraid you need to leave first. I need to handle an important business.”
”What is this business that you think an S Rank Magician like me can't know?” Rena smirked.
Arnaud felt things would end smoothly, so he decided to open the matter itself. ”It's about the upcoming war. What do you want to talk about? I will judge whether it's more important or not.”
”Ho?! I'm sure it's more important.” Rena smiled and sat down before him. ”Let me see… The girl you recommend to me… Felice, was it? I have done a background check on her and know you are visiting the orphanage every now and then. Yet, you have never recommended someone to me.
”But everything changed the moment Kai Carter visited the orphanage. You suddenly asked me to take in someone. Since you are the closest agent to Kai Carter, I think it's related to him.” Rena looked at Arnaud coldly and asked, ”What are you planning, Arnaud?”
”Kh.” Arnaud didn't know what to answer anymore.
Meanwhile, Roselyn was surprised as she couldn't help but utter that confusion. ”Eh? Felice?”
”Ho? This is more interesting since our little genius doesn't even know about this.” Rena smirked. ”This is more interesting.”
