311 Unexpected Meeting (1/2)
Yale understood that the story wasn't as simple as Julie explained and that probably she also deserved a beating, but after an hour of beating Oscro, Yale decided to forgive Julie in exchange for the help with the True Empire and the ship.
Thus, only Oscro suffered Yale's wrath, just as Julie planned since the day when she was unable to top stop Oscro's wasteful business of selling his own plushies.
”Well, the matter of the plushies is settled. Since the money used to the ship was made taking profit from me, I suppose that I can use it on my free will, right? I am planning to leave the continent.”
Neither of them seemed surprised, although was difficult to see any expression in Oscro's swollen face.
”Of course, feel free to use it.”
Julie was about to add something, but Yale interrupted them.
”Well, now we need to speak about that picture of myself on the wall of the building.”
Oscro looked at Julie begging with his eyes.
”Please. be merciful, don't make him beat me again.”
Julie understood what Oscro wanted to say just seeing his eyes. Fortunately for Oscro, she didn't plan to have him beaten again.
”The paintings of the walls have less than one year, but we didn't do your painting because we wanted. It was the suggestion of the same person who told us that you were coming to Trade City and that you needed a ship.”
Yale didn't know if the shameless level of Julie had reached unfathomable heights or the situation was as weird as she made it sound.
At that moment, Yale had some curiosity for the person who had predicted his return to Trade City. At that start, Yale thought that was the same person that had helped him in the shadows before, but that person had never interfered with Yale so directly as asking for have an enormous picture of him on the highest building of Trade City.
”Where is this person. I want to know the person who predicted my travel.”
Yale wanted to hear some explanations from that person before deciding what to do. After all, he didn't discard that Julie was lying because she was a merchant and merchants were adept at lying.
”He is residing in our hotel. It is the best of the city and very expensive, but this person paid for the most expensive room and is living there since the day he arrived at Trade City.”
Julie knew that the person in question was rich and a big shot for expending money so easily, so she tried to please him and making a huge picture of Yale and Wyba wasn't a big price for obtaining that person's trust.
In fact, she also wanted to do something like that, but she feared too much Yale's wrath, so she didn't dare to do it until that person asked her.
”Lead me to that hotel. Oscro doesn't need to come; it would be bad for the company if others saw him in that state.”
Of course, Yale could just heal Oscro in an instant, but he was the one who beat him, he didn't plan to heal him just after the beating.
”Alright. However, you need to know that this person is very powerful and should have a big background, don't be reckless.”
Julie feared that Yale would instantly beat the other party before starting to speak and the consequences that doing that would have.
Descending from the building was quite quick since they used an elevated which was for private use of the founders. If Yale had known that elevator before, he wouldn't have needed to hide, since that elevator led to a secret exit.
Since Yale didn't know that, after leaving the highest floor, he ended up sending Wyba again to the Storage Space to avoid her being caught in any trouble if they were detected.
The hotel was quite near to the main building of the Thousand Frost Wolves Company; in five minutes they were there.
Julie had been careful and made secret doors in all the building letting her move without others noticing her presence. After all, she also sold plushies of herself and her picture was also in the building; although she didn't have as many fans as Yale, she still had a lot and mainly males. Sadly, for those males, she didn't have any interest in them because for her they were like mindless pigs.
The floor in which that person was residing was also the highest one, but the hotel only had twenty floors, it couldn't compare with the office of Julie and Oscro.
There was only one room on the twentieth floor because almost all the floor was the room itself.
Julie knocked the door before speaking.
”I am Julie. Just as you said, Yale has reached Trade City, and he wants to meet you.”
Some seconds later the door opened, and the person that Yale saw was someone that he would have never expected to find in the Zuatania Republic.
Although that person had changed quite a bit since the last time that he saw him, there was no way that Yale couldn't recognize him.
