Leo woke up to see his sister opposite to him on the table . He smiled as he patted her head . He shook his head and directly left through the window .
He sat on the roof of the hotel and sighed " Even the a.s.sociation isn"t safe . I thought they will protect her , but it seems they don"t view us in good light ."
He spotted a person staring at the window he just came out of with binoculars . He could look that far easily . He was just sitting there , supporting his body with his hands as he stared at the man .
" He"s a magician . " He thought . " Magic tower ?" His thoughts directly went to the heroes a.s.sociation . " No , there are heroes that are employed by the rulers too . " He said as he looked at the insignia on the man"s robe .
" Probably right . " He squinted his eyes and focused on his Mana level . " Middle-Intermediate . He isn"t a monster . I can"t deal with him right now ." He thought .
Humans had much more intelligence than simple monsters or even bosses . It was only natural that a monster would be dumb enough to fall for simple tricks , but with humans it was a completely different case . " There might be more around ." He thought as he looked around .
The one staring at the window was roughly a kilometre away from them . " Let"s see " He turned his head to look all around himself . " 1 in my north , 2 south and 1 one each on East and West ." He stood up and looked at the ones behind him , that were looking directly at him . " That one seems to be the boss ." He manifested his wings and flew in the air .
The man that was looking at him was surprised , but then he smiled and said to the man beside him " Tell them to come back . The target is coming straight to us . " The man nodded and said some undecipherable words in his microphone attached to his collar .
~whoosh~
The sound of wind being displaced was heard as Leo landed behind the man who seemed to be the one in command . " What do you want from my sister and I ?" He said straightforwardly . " You are a high rank hero . You could"ve directly killed us if you wanted , but it seems you have some other motive ." He said as his eyes shined with a golden light .
Leo folded his wings back inside of him and stood against a wall . The man seemed to be intrigued with his behavior as he asked " You aren"t scared ?" as he smiled .
" I don"t have the strength to fight , nor do I want to leave my sister and run away . What other choice have you left me ? There are 3 more of you who must be coming here right now . I want you to spare my time . I need to look for Dungeons to sweep ." He said as he took out his card and played around with it .
The man stared at his hands and said " I can see you don"t trust the a.s.sociation as much as the other heroes ."
" Everyone believes in self-preservation ." He smiled in self-ridicule as he said " The empire is after us . I can"t believe they will risk going to war with it for just 2 low level heroes . It"s either I become significant or run from the both of them ."
" Hmmm ..." The man thought for a while and said " I am in charge of monitoring low tier heroes in Ziega . I just wanted to know what you wanted here . If that is all you want we might not meet again . Just make sure not to cause too much trouble ."
Leo looked at him and nodded , then simply manifested his wings again and flew away as he said " I"ll keep it in mind ."
The man just smiled and said to the other man " Tell them to stop observing him . He seems to be fine . Just to make sure , make someone with invisibility tail his movements for a few days ."
The other man nodded and said once more in the same code as he nodded his head once .
" I"ll be taking your Ident.i.ty card for a minute . If you need to cancel this reservation , you can come back here at any time . The dungeon you just reserved is a wood element based dungeon . Fire magic would be extremely helpful ." Said a lady at the reception as she smiled at Leo . " The dungeon will reset tomorrow morning after 7 . You are extremely lucky . This one resets only once every month and has about 12000 monster in it . This is a very high number for an upper-intermediate tier dungeon ." She said with a smile .
Leo looked at her with an annoyed face and said " I waited for the whole day , just for this 5 minute long process ?" He was extremely annoyed . He had reached the mayor"s office at 9 in the morning , exactly an hour after it opened , but he was made to sit for another 7 hours .
[ Time : 1626 ]
" I"m gonna kill them if I see those people again ." He thought as his Mana unintentionally leaked out .
" Stop it , boy . Your Mana is strange ." The lady said as she covered her mouth and laughed . " You got so angry because of waiting ?"
He looked at her and shook his head " No , I just remembered the people because of who I arrived here late ."
The lady giggled and said " You can vent in the dungeon tomorrow . Don"t make things difficult for me . I don"t want the in-charges in the mayor"s office . He blames it on me for not monitoring the heroes properly ."
Leo looked at her and took his card she had put on the table " Sorry . I"ll be back soon . I might want to go for another dungeon really soon . " He said as he smiled and left .
He stopped at the gate and looked at the wall which had the benches for a short while and thought something , then said to himself in a low voice " Nah , none of them had such good camouflage ." and just smiled and walked away .
The lady stared at where he departed for a while and said as she looked at the benches " He knew you were there . " She stopped a little before she said " The whole time ."
" I noticed ." A man appeared sitting on the bench and slouched down as he said " He discovered me as soon as he entered . He must"ve thought I can"t do anything to him ."
" You probably couldn"t have ." She said " He had his eyes on you the entire time . He knew exactly where you were ."
He sighed and said " I have tricked supreme tier heroes who pa.s.sed through here before . Why can"t I trick either of them ." as he smiled in self-ridicule " Both of them are just intermediate tier and the brother is weaker , even . Yet , I can"t seem to trick them at all ."
" You went after the sister ? " The lady was surprised .
The man looked at her and replied " She discovered me when her brother was dragging her around to look for a hotel . She seemed to always stare at me as she was getting pulled ."
" They are both extremely strange . The girl is supposed to be a support type hero , but her points are just a little less than her brother"s . And the worst part is , they are from the empire . If they are with the empire , they would probably make a wrong move . We just can"t seem to get around to seeing it ."
" Continue your work . He said he"ll come again . If he asks I"ll just say you are required to be here ." The lady smiled as the man vanished .
