Michael's immediately narrowed, as he had the feeling that the defenses of these are truly astonishing, almost impenetrable.

It's only impenetrable because Michael have the confidence to infiltrate the City Lord's Mansion if he had the same level as the two monsters and the right skills, meant for infiltrating a stronghold or castle.

And then the Sergeant and Michael passed by a huge fountain, before finally arriving at the entrance of the mansion, with two soldiers standing guard at the both sides of the door, probably made from high quality wood, as Michael noticed it glistening.

”Wait for me here, you really came at a bad time as the Lord and his family are still probably having their lunch”

Marcus said to Michael before going inside, as he didn't even bother waiting for Michael's response.

”What the hell?”

Michael muttered under his breath as he was left all alone in front of the entrance, and so he turned back and sat beside the fountain as he started surveying his surroundings.

Then Michael felt that there were eyes looking at him, he turned towards the direction where it's coming from and saw that it was the two guards guarding the door, Michael just smiled and gave them a short nod.

Then he just closed his eyes as he started thinking about the things that he would do at this chance given to him to relive his past and change his dark future.

”Reach my former strength and surpass it”

”Rekindle my relationship with Amanda”

”Get revenge on my enemies”

”Become the best of the best in Fate Online”

”And most of all, enjoy this chance given to me from whoever god it was”

Michael's eyes would turn cold then warm as he remembered his days being an assassin and his life with Amanda, until the moment she died in his arms with the dark swirling skies and his enemies who laughed at him as the witnesses.

Two minutes later, Sergeant Marcus finally came out of the door and arrived before Michael.

”Come on, the Lord is now ready to see you”

Michael nodded as he stood up and followed behind Marcus.

Both of them arrived in front of a metallic door, one of the guards pushed it open as Marcus and Michael passed through, arriving inside a spacious hall.

The first thing Michael saw is the middle aged man sitting in a huge chair made of exquisite wood, the man has a short boxed beard with thin, nearly trimmed sides, he has piercing blue eyes, and long black hair, and Michael guess that the man is probably around mid thirties.

And then there's a blonde haired woman sitting beside him, who looks like someone who came from Britain, with a little girl around seven years old sitting on her lap, she has wavy black hair, and cute looking blue eyes, and right now, she is looking curiously at Michael.

”My lord, I've brought the person who took the quest about the monster fish, Anub'arak”

Marcus said as he knelt on one knee.

”It's a pleasure meeting you City Lord and madams. I am Shadow, the one who took the quest you posted at the City Administration”

Michael didn't kneel and instead gave a short bow and a short introduction about himself.

For Michael, kneeling in front of someone is only for those worthy of it, like someone's parents, or the people who cared for them for almost their entire lives, like those people who adopted you despite not having blood relations, or your loved ones.

And for him, kneeling towards a stranger just because they power and money is a show of weakness. He'd rather die or kill them before doing it.

”Good, I've heard a lot about you, Mr. Shadow”

”Truly, meeting you in person is really different than hearing about you from my men”

”Though still weak and young, you have the attitude of someone with an unbending will”

Michael smirk as both of them stared at each other, that Michael could even feel the oppressive air directed towards him.
