Right after a minute, they were stationed in the allotted place for the carriage. Marcus got out first and assisted his sisters down before supporting his Mom. His dad jumped right after his mom exited carefully.
The building was much bigger up close. It somehow gave fear to his parents but Marcus wasn't surprised anymore, this was the result of Raka's hard work anyway. It should have been obvious... It was obvious.
An old man in his late sixties was waiting for them at the foyer. The man, who might have been the Butler appeared kind and serene. A broad and warm smile unraveled across his face when his eyes found them settle down from the golden carriage.
Sean was behind the family of five, tending to his new carriage and wind horses. The horses seemed to like their new rider as well.
The man was donned in black butler pants which went all the way past his waist to his jutting belly which was struggling to remain in place with the belt strapped on top. His torso was covered with a vintage evening shirt, a black-tie donned on his neck. His hands were gloved and his feet were booted.
”Welcome Mr. Marcus Welcome, Master Raka has been waiting for you. My name is Jeffrey.”
The butler clasped his gloved hands together and greeted them with a smile wider than before.
”Ah, it's pleasure to meet you too Mr. Jeffrey”
Marcus bowed down in respect.
”Could you arrange my family someplace to sit?”
Marcus smiled.
”Yes Mr. Marcus, please follow me”
Jeffrey gestured towards the carpeted hallway. The hallway or the path was 5 meters wide. Pictures of Krozon legends were hanged on the walls on either side.
Marcus smiled when he saw The Flame Emperor's huge portrait hang right on top of the wall before the conference room entrance. From the looks of it, Raka prioritized work before anything.
Jeffrey held the glass door wide open for the family of five. His skin tingled as Marcus entered inside. It was an Air-Conditioned room.
No...The whole building was Air Conditioned.
(Not your casual AC, The one's run by Runestones. Runestones could be charged with elements for use, Here the ice element as used to make the room cool)
It wasn't an easy task. Getting runestones was hard as it was and using them for Air conditioning was taking it to next level. Only rich households could afford them. The higher the runestone rank, the higher the efficiency.
The conference room had a huge table surrounded by rotating, cushioned chairs. A Whiteboard hanged on the wall, the marker and duster on the shelf beside it.
An array of windows were attached to the room through which the LED lights from the outside glared inside.
The Butler gestured towards a huge door right after they passed the conference room. A signboard was mended on the door on which glaring words were etched in silver.
'RAKA RILES'
”I request the family to relax on the sofa”
The Butler helped his family towards a huge cushioned sofa bed, where they sat relaxingly.
Albert shot Marcus a reassuring glance and nodded gleefully at his son.
The butler thanked them and returned to where Marcus was standing.
”Please enter”
Jeffrey gave Marcus a warm smile before pushing the door open. A posh and cool light buzzed at his face, making him wince because of the bright light.
The steel door opened to a voice of a young man. The words sent a chill down his spine.
”AHA, Marcus... That Cheat Seed of yours, it's... hella interesting.”
