Chapter 122 - 119 : Piss Off (1/2)
A million dollar is not a meager amount of money, if it's converted to cash, it'll take at least a thousand money bills, especially if it's Korean money bills.
After going to the bank and exchanging the check with cash, Lucy put the black bag full of money stacks into her storage ring and teleported back where Miya, Saly, and Randiun were.
The two-headed lizard made of bones would make anyone freeze with fear and terror but it was surprisingly friendly with Saly and would often play with her or go hunt with her, after just a week from their first meeting, the two of them became almost inseparable.
Randiun had a special invisibility skill so no human can see him if he wishes to so there was no fear of being spotted by a human. Well, technically, the lizard doesn't fear a thing as he is a summoned create from the book and belongs to the dead, what the creature fears is Lucy and only Lucy.
He follows her orders to the details and doesn't dare to disobey for some reason, maybe because Arthur ordered him to do so or because he felt fear from her albeit him being higher than her in Realm.
In the past week, Lucy wanted to test his strength so they fought many times and he would literally be behalf-dead with many of his broken bones either freezing or melting by her attacks but he didn't lose immediately.
He was quite tough and agile, what's, more is that he can produce 'Amaterasu' from his burning tale. It's also a special kind of flames that have only one purpose, burning something until that thing is dead. Lucy was hit in her left hand by the flames and even Delia couldn't get rid of it, so Lucy could only cut off her hand and waste one of the precious potions that recover a lost limb.
Unlike Arthur, she won't recover a limb if it's cut unless she drinks that potion, she still has a lot of them but they are not endless so they must be used with caution and should never be wasted.
Once she saw his black flames, Lucy was relieved to let him go with Saly as he had the power to protect her from any danger, at least on Earth as the strongest person right now is merely Lv43, it's increasing day by day but it's still too weak.
Heck! The five-year-old Saly is Lv118 and her stats have been strengthened by dungeon cores, mysterious techniques or miraculous potions. If she is to be compared to all the humans on Earth, she would be the strongest by a huge margin.
She may be only Lv118 but her power is unbelievable, she relies on martial arts coupled with the Earth Attribute while sometimes adding a few support techniques relying on the Wind Attribute.
What's more is that Randiun is next to her day and night, there is literally no one amongst those humans or those puny dungeons that can hurt her.
Delia told her that all dungeons are weak, the strongest dungeon is a High-level Dungeon which has a Lv250 boss, but even that is considered weak, with some effort, Saly can probably beat it.
....
The night soon passed and by the next day, around 8 AM, Lucy and Delia headed for Lady Sinyu's house, or to be more precise, to her mansion.
The old woman lived in a big mansion with a wide garden, an artificial fountain and some sculptors made from simple grass, all of them were diamond shaped for some reason.
Even the fountain had some small sized green diamonds, god knows if they are real or fake but they most likely were fake because who would be stupid enough to put real ones. A thief wouldn't need to go to the mansion to steal, he just has to take some from the fountain, that is if he can get past the hundreds of guards all around the mansion's perimeter.
Lucy saw the countless black-clothed guards with sunglasses and big build and was annoyed, she wasn't bothered by them but by the fact that she'll probably be stopped then questioned by them. They'll ask her many useless questions like 'who are you', 'how did you get here', 'why are you here' and so on.
It is a piece of cake for both of them to enter unnoticed so they just did it like that, quick and easy with no time to waste.
Lady Sinyu was laying on a comfortable chair in a big room in the second floor of the mansion, she was sipping from a cup of tea while looking at several small-size diamonds put on a small boxes just in front of her. A maid was standing behind her and holding a tea pot, there were also several people sitting on the opposite side of her.
”So you're saying, some woman who knows who is going to join our team?”
One of the two men present spoke with an irritated voice, he sounded like he was reprimanding her for something she did, he was totally unhappy and against what Lady Sinyu just said.
Lady Sinyu didn't seem to care, she glared back at him with an emotionless face and retorted
”Gulan, I make the decisions, not you. You just have to do your job properly.”
The old woman right now was miles apart from the excited one from yesterday, even Lucy was a bit taken aback by her current attitude, it's like she's a serious person but yesterday she was clearly blinded by the diamonds and her attitude was way different.
Gulan was a man with a normal build, a bit muscular with a long brown hair and fancy clothes. There was a tall man sitting next to him, he was both tall and burly with bulging muscles all around his body.
The remaining two were both women, one appeared to be a teenager, probably 16 or 17-year-old high-school student and the last one was a middle-aged woman with makeup on her face and expensive red lipstick, she was by no means ugly, in fact, she's the prettiest woman in the room, if we exclude Lucy and Delia of course.
Gulan banged his fist on the table from anger but he didn't speak further, he was very angry but he didn't dare utter a single word after Sinyu said that, she was, after all, the one who found him and recruited him, if not for her taking care of him and the other three, they wouldn't have the money to register in the IHO and rise in fame.
They were still C-class Heroes but they weren't bad, in fact, they came back with a few unique magical items from the Korean dungeon and managed to gain some popularity.
D and E class Heroes are everywhere but from C-class and above, they became rare and idolized. Some D-class heroes may be stronger than an A-class Hero but he prefers to remain hidden.
After a few seconds, Lady Sinyu sighed and took another sip before speaking again.
”Anyways, the guest will be arriving shortly and when they come, you guys better not show any hostility, after all, their identity is mysterious and I highly think they are from a secret organization. Well, for me that doesn't matter as long as they are willing to join the team.”
As Sinyu said that, she turned to look at the maid and ordered
”Go instruct the guards and everyone to not cause trouble if two ladies show-up, they have to immediately bring them here and treat them with respect.”
Just as she finished her sentence, not even a second passed when all of a sudden, Lucy's cold voice rang out in the big room
”No need, we are already here.”
From the point of view of others, the two women appeared out of nowhere, they were already standing not far away from Lady Sinyu and both had a cold demeanor, especially Lucy.
”W, Who are you? Guards!”
The first to speak was the tall and burly man next to Gulan, he stood up and shouted to the guards while taking a fighting stance, other than him, the rest just stared dumbfoundedly at Lucy and Delia, who in return remained silent and awaited an answer.
Lucy wanted to show up suddenly to not bother with the guards but most importantly to show off a bit, if they underestimated her and tried to a play useless trick, it would only waste more time and she didn't want that. Of course, she won't show off too much, but as long as she doesn't surpass that limit, it's alright.
It took Sinyu a couple of seconds to react to the sudden appearance of Lucy and Delia, she wasn't angry because they sneaked in or trespassed, she was just shocked. She had many guards and some of them were even E-class heroes so this only added to her approval for both of them.
”Welcome to my home, I still didn't ask for your names.”
”I'm Lucy Moonstar and this is Delia.”
