Chapter 31 - Adilos Troubles (2/2)

Adilo stretched out his hand to block the young man

“……?”

The young man looked at Adilo with a suspicious expression when he was blocked. Noticing his expression, Adilo continued.

“You have to line up.”

“Yes, I know.”

The young man pushed aside his hand while replying. Then he continued walking to the front.

‘If he knows then why?……Hmm?’

Why is he still walking if he knows? While having this thought, he followed the young man with his eyes. But when he saw the young man going past the normal station, he was slightly embarrassed and surprised.

‘But over there……’

The young man was heading towards the Head Manager of the fourth floor, Kerza. There were 12 spots where normal users used, and then there were 3 meant for the special users. The young man was greeting Kerza, who manned the station meant for the most special people.

“Wha……?”

Why was he sitting there? What kind of person was he?

“Park Kyung-Ho?”

Adilo was pulled out of his thoughts after the familiar voice.

“You’ve come.”

Adilo hurriedly handed his spot back to the CEO’s son. Then he glanced at Kerza’s station.

‘An envelope?’

Kerza was handing the young man a sealed envelope. What was in the envelope?

“What’s over there?”,

Kim Hyuk, the CEO’s son asked Adilo.

“Ah, that’s where people go for special business.”

“Special business?”

“Yes, either for people with special jobs or for special quests……”

‘Wait……F*ck.’

Adilo, who was answering Kim Hyuk, internally cursed again. Because the look in Kim Hyuk’s eyes had changed.

‘Why did I say that?’

Kim Hyuk was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and he also had a massive ego. He was interested in the special jobs before this, so it was almost impossible for him to not show any interest.

Adilo thought that something very nasty was going to come up again.

“Then is that person doing something special over there?”

“Yes.”

“And it could be about special jobs?”

Kim Hyuk asked.

“There’s a possibility.”

“I’m curious about what he’s doing.”

“……What?”

Adilo suddenly felt very flustered.

“I said I’m curious. About whether if it’s about a special job or not.”

Kim Hyuk said calmly.

“Ah……”

Adilo lamented at Kim Hyuk’s orders. He had said that he was curious. But it also meant something else.

“I’ll find out right away.”

Adilo conceded in a small voice. Kim Hyuk didn’t say anything to Adilo’s reply. He merely tilted his head to the young man.

‘Now I have to do this as well. Damn it.”

Adilo swore while he looked over at the special station. The young man was getting up right now.

‘Well, I was curious too. Hahaha……’

Adilo pondered about how he could approach the young man.

‘How should I ask? He won’t just tell me if I randomly come up to him……”

Should he tell his job first? But it was just a normal job unlike the young man’s. He definitely wouldn’t tell him like that.

‘Force him?’

There was always that option. There was a high possibility if he threatened with a PK. (TL: Player Kill)

If you died in Pangea, you would lose 1 level, three points from all your stats, lose one random possession, and 24-hour inaccessibility penalty.

While Adilo was thinking, the young man had already left the fourth floor. Adilo was staring at the staircase where the young man had gone down when he felt a chill down his spine. Kim Hyuk was staring at him with a chilling gaze. Seeing the cold gaze, Adilo hastily made an awkward smile and quickly chased after the young man.

“Let’s just ask first.”

There was the possibility that he would just tell him. Adilo quickly came to a decision while he was in pursuit.

‘He’s fast.’

Adilo hurriedly looked around the 1st floor. Did he have something urgent? The young man was walking abnormally fast.

‘There he is!’

Adilo finally managed to spot him near the Northern entrance.

“W-wait!”

Adilo shouted while he ran after him.

“……Do you have some business with me?”

“I-I want to ask you something.”

Adilo hurriedly said when the young man responded.

“Can you tell me what you were doing at Kerza’s desk?”

The young man didn’t immediately reply. But Adilo could also guess the answer from his frown.

“I don’t want to.”

Adil’s guess was right. The young man turned around again and walked away. Looking at the young man’s silhouette, Adilo thought.

‘I knew this would happen.’

It was an obvious conclusion. Who was going to tell what?

If he returned now, he going to get reprimanded for not fulfilling the request, giving up too easily, and lack of ability.

‘Let’s follow him.’

Adilo started tailing the young man from a distance. He could give up, but maybe he could discover something interesting.

‘But, I’m really curious now as well.’

Adilo thought as he tailed the young man.

‘What did they talk about? What’s that envelope?’

There was a user who talked with Kerza before. He was now flying his banner as a Midranker.

‘Should I kill him? He might drop the envelope.’

His mind was wandering to all sorts of thoughts.

Soo Hyuk smiled when he reached the library. He had finally taken care of everything. He didn’t need to do any quest or whatever. There was only the bliss of reading books left now.

‘I understand why he came after me……’

Of course, there was still something on his mind. It was the man who came after him at the Spire.

‘Yeah, I don’t care. It looked like he gave up anyway.’

Getting rid of the thought, Soo Hyuk approached the library entrance.
