Tower Ascension - Chapter 85
Hearing those words, Peter couldn’t help but feel speechless. He sighed and ignored them. Since they had already released the pressure for him, Peter starts to absorb the knowledge in his brain.
To absorb the knowledge, he must have a clear mind. But, it is easier said than done. To enter such a state, he must clear every single thought in his mind which is not easy.
On the earth,
“Sister-in-law, is brother out?” Anne asked while sitting on the chair. She was typing on her computer while wearing classical glasses. Her look was quite hot.
“If he had come out, wouldn’t he visit you first?” Camellia was sitting in front of her. She shook her head and explained with a helpless expression. She knew Peter treats Anne better than her. And, she gets quite jealous of this.
But, she was happy to see Anne accepting her as her sister-in-law. Although they haven’t married, it wouldn’t take long. Both of them are twenty-one and both of them love each other. If it wasn’t for many troublesome situations, it wouldn’t be bad to get married.
“Hmm! Sister-in-law, did we invest two hundred million in security?” Anne stared at her monitor and asked.
“Yeah, we needed stronger security and you know just how much hiring soul defenders costs. But, it is only for our first industry. Recently, we have caught few Vampires and monsters moving around our industry.”
“That’s why I didn’t hesitate to invest in security,” Camellia reported.
Anne nodded her head and turned her head to the monitor.
“Sister-in-law, how about we buy?”
Hearing her words, Camellia was slightly shocked. She didn’t understand why Anne asked such a question.
“Why do you want to buy a dungeon? Although it is profitable, there are many risks and we have to recruit many soul defenders as well.”
Anne shook her head and spoke “I want to buy a dungeon for my brother. For, unless it is your private dungeon, a person can’t enter the dungeon alone. This is the rule set by the council. Brother told me that he doesn’t like showing the extent of his strength to others.”
“That’s why I want to buy the dungeon. My brother can already kill dozens of Platinum Rank Soul Defenders and a Half-Supreme. It won’t be hard for him to clear the dungeon on his own. And, we will be earning a huge amount of resources from it.”
Camellia stayed silent for a moment. She analyzed her words and asked “What if he gets himself into a dangerous situation? I don’t think going inside alone is a good idea.”
“Hehe! It seems I still know my brother more than you, sister-in-law.” Anne giggled making a lovely face and shook her head “Brother won’t do things that he isn’t confident of. And, everything he does have a certain level of planning.”
“In simple words, he plans everything and then only he takes action.”
Camellia stayed silent for a moment and asked “So, how many dungeons are we going to buy? Which level of dungeon do you want to buy?”
“We will start with Gold Rank Dungeon, below that we don’t need it. And, also spend a fifty million to establish the guild under our company. After we establish the guild, register yourself as the guild master and my brother as the vice guild-master.” Anne explained
Camellia stared at her with confusion and asked “Why do we need to establish the guild? We can directly start buying the dungeon.”
“Rule no. 77- A company/industry must pay thirty percent of their income from dungeon unless they have guild license.”
“Rule no. 154- A master of the guild must be Half-Supreme to raid Gold Rank and Platinum Rank dungeon.”
“These two rules restrict a lot of our freedom. The third percent of income is too much of loss especially when are basically raiding the guild to earn profit.” Anne maintained her posture and explained while showing her the tablet.
There was a guidebook to mentioning the rules set by the council.
Camellia stared at Anne with wide eyes and asked “You read the entire rule book?”
“It’s just a habit of mine. And, yeah, this is also the habit of my brother.” Anne looked at her with a weird gaze and asked “Sister-in-law, be honest with me, just how much do you know about my brother?”
Camellia bites her lips while lowering her head down “I don’t know much about him.”
“And, you stuck with him for three years?” Anne asked her with a questioning tone.
Camellia blushed fiercely and clenched her fists. Because of Peter’s classes and job, he rarely gets the time. And, even if he manages the time, she gets an unfortunate call from her previous guild for the raid and some unexpected dungeon appearance.
“Hush! I truly can’t say how you two stuck together for three years and still love each other so much. Well, it doesn’t matter since I am here.”
Afterward Anne started teaching Camellia a lot about Peter.
Inside the tower,
Peter slowly opened his eyes. One hour had completely passed and both of them had returned back to the original body.
“That was good.” Peter stared at Zhao Ming and nodded his head with satisfaction.
“Yeah but I am tired. I will rest while you finish your quest.” Zhao Ming spoke and stood up. Then he walked to the bed and fell down.
Peter stood up and walked out.
“By the way, while you come, don’t forget to order two large portions of food. I am truly tired.”
“Alright!” Hearing his words, Peter replied and walked out. He went straight to the purple bottom floor and saw the bar full as always.
He walked to the counter where the hotel lady was standing.
“Hello, do you need anything?” When Peter approached her, she put on a beautiful smile and asked.
“Yeah, I want to know the place where fighting is very common and you know what I mean, right?” Peter wanted to where the evilest thing happened then he realize it happens everywhere in this city. So, he asked for the place where most of the fights occur.
The lady looked at him with confusion but still nodded her head.
“In the southwest part of the city. The difference between other places and that place is quite easy to find. Here, you kill someone only when they are your enemy. But, there, you just attack, kill or even assault people on the road.”
“Most women do not go there. It’s like the hell to them and even if some end up going there, it only becomes their nightmare. After you leave the hotel, turn left and head straight.”
Peter nodded his head and walked out of the hotel. He turned to the left side and walked ahead. He saw people fighting here and there but as the lady said, nobody came to trouble him.
At least, this is what he thought when he had only walked for five minutes. Because after that, a group of fifteen men surrounded him. One of them wearing a black mask spoke “Are you the one who killed our people?”
Peter didn’t speak a single word. At this moment, he focused all of his thoughts on Stone Heart. The next moment, he opened his eyes and those eyes had turned red. Two swords appeared in his hands.
“Come!”
Peter had no words to speak the nonsense. He didn’t want to argue either. He just wants to complete the quest.
“Kill him!” The man with the mask shouted and all of them rushed towards Peter.
“True Sword Skill- Thousand Burning Sun Hurricane!”
Peter released his fire mana and erupts it out from his swords. The internal energy entered his veins and immensely strengthen his body. He gripped his sword and swings it.
Suddenly, the flames erupting out of his sword transformed into the small fireball and remained in the air. But, it didn’t stop there. Those fireballs only got bigger and brighter to the point where they covered the sky above all fifteen of them.
With the immense force of those words, those fireballs suddenly spun around them and created a thousand fireballs hurricane. It wasn’t in the level of sun but it was enough to burn these people to death.
Peter slowly walked out of the burning hurricane with the status in front of him.
