Blood Assimilation - Chapter 298

298 Machination of Incarnation Randy(I)

While they walked down the street with varying thoughts and expressions, and even occasionally shouting out their frustrations, Incarnation Randy hid his presence and breath with the [Traceless Form] Technique and covertly followed them as he spied on them. At the same time, through his [Body Strengthen] skill, he managed to enhance his five senses, more specifically his hearing. Then, he paid close attention to the verbal exchange between the two armored men.

At this point, the sun was already setting, so it was much easier for him to conceal and hide his presence from them.

As a result, Incarnation Randy had heard everything the two armored men were saying throughout their walk to their destination. Afterward, he thought it wise to inform his main body about it just in case since he couldn’t be bothered to deal with them.

Although the incarnation Randy appeared to be the complete opposite of the main Randy in terms of temperament, he still carefully assessed the situation. He also decided to relay it back to Randy through their connection. However, his attempt was unsuccessful despite trying a few times. There seemed to be a wall blocking his connection to Randy who was inside the Safe Room.

After thinking about it for a brief moment, Incarnation Randy decided to ignore the situation altogether since whether his main body knew the situation or not wouldn’t change anything. After all, those two didn’t know the culprit behind the disappearance of their captain.

With that decision, Incarnation Randy was about to leave the two armored men to their own devices before he suddenly thought of something. He didn’t know much about the two of them enough to let them go just like that. Even though he heard them speak their minds a while ago, that only made him realize that he didn’t fully understand anything the two armored men discussed. Furthermore, he didn’t know anything about their current situation, which made them appear gloomy and pale. He could only assume it had something to do with the death of their captain.

From what he knew from observation and through their words, the two armored men were Holy Knights of the Church of Light who were apparently sent on some mission and failed. Furthermore, they seemed to be talking about something really relevant. Especially, the one regarding the true identity and background of the Holy Knight Captain whom his main body had killed to save Klara.

Incarnation Randy wanted to avoid trouble coming his way as much as possible since he was now taking his main body’s place in the Imperial City. And as he had nothing to do in the meantime, he decided to follow them into the pub in order to learn more about them.

…

…..

A few minutes later.

Inside a famous pub in the Imperial City, there were many people happily engaging in discussions. At this moment, two men covered in full-body Knight armor entered the pub. Their shining Holy Knight armor instantly attracted the attention of the people in the pub, causing them to gasp in disbelief as a result.

“Sir Holy Knights, how may we serve you today?” The bartender skillfully maneuvered through the arranged tables and appeared in front of them to receive them with a happy smile on his face.

“Just give me your strongest liquor and some roasted meat! The finest you got!” The shield-wielding armored man said to him.

The bartender scribbled the order down on a piece of paper. Afterward, he looked at the other armored man with his pen on the paper, ready to take his order.

The sharp-eyed armored man also stated his order: “I want the same, but I prefer roasted nuts to go with the liquor.”

“As you wish, honorable Holy Knights! May I ask Sir Holy Knights to please follow me upstairs for your arrangement?”

The bartender finished scribbling down the orders quickly and then gestured for the two armored men to follow him upstairs to have their seats on the second floor. The second floor of the establishment was where VIPs usually sit when they visit.

The second floor was usually reserved for VIPs that always had some extra orders besides the regular liquor and snacks. Furthermore, they would have had to reserve the seat ahead of time, but there were always some exceptions to this rule.

…

Another few minutes later.

Incarnation Randy had also arrived at the entrance of the pub, but he had a complicated expression as he stood in front of the entrance. He wondered if he had to drink alcohol now that he was in a place where that was all they served.

However, he didn’t hesitate for long before calmly entering the establishment with his black coat fluttering behind him, making him seem quite mysterious from an onlooker’s perspective.

As soon as he entered the pub, he found that many of the people were looking at him with strange gazes, but he wasn’t bothered by it. Instead, he proceeded to stand there as he patiently waited. He heard that these places usually had waitresses or someone to receive you upon arrival. This was done in order to prevent any chaos, as most people in there were intoxicated to be considerate of others.

Sure enough, moments after his arrival, a waitress, or rather a female bartender passing by, noticed his presence. She approached him and graciously welcomed him with a smile on her face.

“Hello. How can I help you, sir?”

“Did you see the two people that came in just now? They’re my friends and I would like to meet them. They should be on the second floor. I came a long way to finally meet them, but I couldn’t find them. I heard they came here not long ago, so I decided to seek them out here. Can you help me arrange it?”

The female bartender shook her head and politely said: “I’m sorry sir, but we don’t allow strangers to meet our valued customers. If you want to meet them, you’ll have to wait until they leave their room.”

He insisted with a solemn expression: “Please, I really need to see them as soon as possible. It’s related to something I cannot divulge because it is classified.”

The female bartender pondered his words for a moment and demanded: “Do you have your ID with you, so I can check your credentials?”

“No problem. Here you go.”

Incarnation Randy immediately gave her his Dungeon Hunter Card that he had prepared beforehand.

The female bartender took his ID card to read his information, and she was shocked to see his rank: “Dungeon Hunter, Rank B!”

“Please forgive my rudeness just now, sir. I will help you arrange it right away!”

The female bartender bowed with an apologetic expression as she handed his ID card back to him.

“Thank you so much for your help!”

Incarnation Randy smiled as he took his ID card from her.

“N-No need for that. Please follow me. Sir Holy Knights are currently being served in the second floor’s VIP room.”

The female bartender led Incarnation Randy to the second floor, then to the room where the two armored men were being served. Soon, Incarnation Randy and the female bartender stood in front of the door. The female bartender knocked on the door to the room.

A few moments later, two charming girls came to open the door with surprised looks on their delicate faces.

One of them frowned, turned to the female bartender, and doubtfully questioned: “What is it, Big sis Xily? We’re serving two honorable guests right now, so what did you come here for? Did Krein not tell you that this room was already booked?”
