Chapter 6.2 - Steinbeck Suzerain with Disaster-Ridden Future Prospect on the Path of Taking Office Part 2 (2/2)
Although Clyde didn’t recognize the other party, since the other party took the initiative to invite him, Clyde chose to accept the appointment. His strength was so horrifying that even if this other party dug a pitfall for him, he would still fearlessly jump in. Clyde followed this figure, and after taking a turn, he noticed a hidden door nestled in a corner. There was a dimly lit restaurant behind the hidden door.
In this mysterious restaurant, there were very few guests, but this didn’t affect Clyde’s decision. The person who had led him here was sitting on an open seat located at the foremost position. In front of this woman were two cups of steaming coffee sitting on the table. One was for Clyde, and the other was for herself. Clyde could smell a very alluring fragrance from the coffee. It seemed to be very expensive.
Although the other party wore a black cloak that concealed her true appearance, from her exposed slender little hands with her fair skin and exquisite fingers, one could easily tell that she was a girl without a doubt. Clyde even saw rings and bracelets on her hands. This girl who was hiding her identity was definitely a very rich girl. Her every finger had a ring, each adorned with a different colored, expensive gem. From those rings, Clyde could sense a strong aura of different attributed magical elements, proving that they were high-grade magic rings.
“Don’t be so nervous. This coffee is on me. It only costs 20 gold coins per cup, nothing more.”
Clyde quickly realized that this hidden mysterious restaurant was actually a gathering place for billionaires. Almost all the other guests also wore black cloaks to conceal their identities. Between tables were transparent sound insulation barriers, so no one could hear the discussion contents of other guests sitting at their own separate tables.
After that mysterious girl invited Clyde to sit down, a waiter brought out some fine dishes. All were exquisite foods. According to the menu, these dishes made with rare ingredients were worth over 500 gold coins. The world of the rich was really hard to understand: they could easily toss out the cost of building a bridge.
The remuneration offered to those of the magician profession was very big. This girl was a magician, so it was not hard to understand why she was rich. Just the rings on her fingers were priceless.
Considering that Lucifer and Princess Saras waiting for him outside had not eaten yet, Clyde didn’t start to eat. He was considering whether he should pack some for them, but asking for take-out in such a high-grade restaurant would be throwing away his face!
“You must have some purpose in seeking me out. If you don’t make it clear, I will not bother you.”
“Eh, you want to struggle for less than 20 years… Cough. Cough. Excuse me, I will change my wording. You seem to be in dire need of money, I can help you solve it, but you have to protect my safety.”
“Excuse my frankness, but you can easily hire other people. You certainly don’t need to look for me. If you have enough money, you could even hire a Mercenary King.”
“This… I have my own special reason, so I cannot hire people of Mercenary Guild. If you accept my task, I can pay you 1,000 gold coins upfront.”
“Fine, I will accept the task, but you have to heed my arrangements.”
