Once Human, Now a Parasite

Chapter 313

Arthur soon returned to the cave and found out that Lucy, some way or another, managed to calm down Hul . Although she was still glaring at him like usual, she wasn’t as hostile as before . Still, if looks could kill, he would have died a dozen times already .

"So, are you done for today or have you got other targets?"

Lucy walked up to him while her three subordinates from before appeared from the shadows and took Hul, who was unwilling but was unable to struggle away from their grip .

"Mmmm I still have one person in mind but I don’t know if he can be considered a target or not . "

Lucy jokingly pouted and retorted

"Tsk! And I was thinking about finishing what we began earlier . . . "

She was talking about their private time in her room here . It’s been a long time since they did such a thing so they wanted to fully enjoy their time but sadly, her subordinates didn’t take much time to procure information about the mercenary group, which existed no more .

While Arthur was away for a bit visiting the graveyard, Lucy had ordered two of the cloaked women to finish off the rest of the mercenaries, the ones who were busy with missions . They were no threat but that doesn’t mean they’ll be spared .

Hearing her sulking, Arthur smirked and lifted her chin, giving her a soft kiss then said

"Once this is done, we’ll have plenty of time so you better prepare yourself . "

Dazed, Lucy nodded her head, from her actions, it seems she didn’t even focus on what he said . Seeing such a behavior, Arthur chuckled and patted her head .

It has always been like this, short kisses would leave her dazed and wanting for more(not that this doesn’t imply sex but just wanting more than a short kiss . Go away! Perverted minds!) .

Arthur closed his eyes for around ten seconds before he opened them again . He located his target and all that’s left is teleport to his destination .

Using Space Magic, Arthur easily teleported himself and Lucy to the USA, more accurately, NYC . Unlike their usual routine, they didn’t appear exactly next to their target, which left Lucy a bit confused .

"You’re planning to go in normally?"

She uttered those words as she looked at the skyscraper before her . It was well over a thousand meters in height and definitely stood out from the nearby buildings, making it way too eye-catching .

As she saw the luxurious sign hanging at the wide front doors, Lucy furrowed her brows but didn’t comment .

"’LobiSoft Entertainment’, hehehe I guess a show-off never changes . "

Arthur nodded his head as he contemplated this skyscraper . Even in South Korea, Paris, or other cities, which are economically growing every day, finding such a building is very rare .

There’s a Magic Tower that’s being built, it is way taller than this building but since it isn’t finished yet, it can’t be considered as a skyscraper as there is the chance it gets destroyed due to unknown interventions .

Arthur was planning to take a good look at this Magic Tower, which is said to only be built using Medium to High-leveled magic . Massive amounts of money were spent on that project, from buying resources to hiring mages .

It is said that the Magic Tower would be a faction similar to the IHO but solely composed of mages, and talented ones at that .

However, Arthur knew that it’ll just be made of egoistic mages who think they are above the others .

Now that there is real magic, it won’t take long before the rise of new kinds of religions and powers and the fall of democratic policies, that is if not proper measures are taken and if Science doesn’t improve enough to be able to counter the Skills provided by the System, which isn’t probably unless a catalyst is used to speed up the process .

After all, high-leveled skills can cause much more destruction and fewer resources than bombs and guns . For example, if one had enough Defense or special skills such as [Metal Body] [Stone Armor] [Fortify Eath], deflecting bullets is a simple thing to do .

Arthur wanted to come here for two reasons, to visit someone and to find out about the truth about Hell Gate . It just cannot be a coincidence that the game is played on Westia, more accurately, on the Westia continent .

"Shall we go?"

Arthur lifted his arm, indicating for Lucy to hold on to him, just like a couple . To not attract more attraction than needed, His and Lucy’s appearances were changed . He resembled himself from the past, before the kidnapping, and Lucy changed into the appearance of an average looking women .

Not particularly ugly but not overly beautiful either . Although her real face was always hidden thanks to the mask, her silver hair was very unique so she’ll be recognized immediately if appeared in public with her real appearance .

With intertwined arms, the couple entered the LobiSoft lobby, where they were faced with a neat and organized reception . The place wasn’t crowded but there were some people tending to their work or managing some visits .

Arthur headed for the main reception, where a middle-aged woman with makeup was standing and waited for the guy before them to speak a few words with the receptionist before it was finally his turn .

"Hello, how may help you?"

The beautiful woman smiled friendly at them and spoke politely .

"Yes, we wish to meet CEO Josef . "

While still keeping her smile, she replied

"Yes, do you have a meeting with him?"

"No, but we still wish to meet him, please arrange that . "

Since he doesn’t want to barge in, Arthur at least wanted to try to enter normally . However, knowing how hard it is to meet with the CEO, it probably won’t work .

The receptionist’s face stiffened as she seemed to realize something, she tried her best to not show any displeasure and said

"To meet the CEO, you must schedule a meeting . Unfortunately, I can do nothing about your request . "

The first thought she had was that it’s a troublemaking couple . It isn’t rare to see someone come to the reception and ask to meet the CEO but in most cases, they end up being thrown out by the guards .

Arthur and Lucy didn’t make a ruckus and merely requested her politely so she didn’t overreact and waited for them to leave or schedule a meeting .

Moreover, not every person can schedule a meeting, after all, they aren’t meeting a farmer but the CEO of an international media and gaming company .

"I guess it can’t be helped . "

Arthur shrugged and turned invisible along with Lucy thus leaving the receptionist dumbfounded . Her face became dumbfounded as she looked around searching for them but found nothing .

She panicked and called for the guards, informing them of the strange occurrence . With the appearance of the System, seeing a couple vanish isn’t an impossible thing but usually, when it happens, it’s certainly a bad omen .

There were many cases where a few robbers who gained a special invisibly skill or item, would assault a bank and leave unscathed just by disappearing from everyone’s view .

Meanwhile, Arthur and Lucy had already teleported to the top floor, where there was nothing but an extravagant office that belonged to the CEO and his secretary .

Currently, there were two middle-aged men shaking hands with a smile on their faces . They appeared at ease and a bit worn-out since they passed the past two hours discussing a long-time contract, which will be beneficial to both parties .

At the corner of the room, Arthur and Lucy waited for the extra guest to leave while keeping their invisibility .

In fact, a person like Arthur has countless ways to turn invisible . Possessing a beast that can blend with the environment, high ranked Wind Magic skill [Subtle Invisiblity], but the best invisibility is, without a doubt, the one using Space Magic .

It literally creates a small space for him where no one can see him or sense him . One has to be an expert in the God Monarch Realm to sense him and that is if he’s only using Space Magic without the few Shadow Magic and Dark Magic passive skills that can turn him into nothing but air as if he never existed .

After a few minutes passed, the guest finally left and was replaced by an expressionless secretary that brought some tea to the CEO Josef

As he let out a sigh and savored this hot tea, CEO Josef happened to glance at a corner of the room where there a bit of shadow due to its location .

At first, he glanced for a split second and shifted his vision to the thin yet immensely large windows but after two seconds passed, he seemed to have realized something so he hastily turned his head again only to see two figures emerging from those shadows .

One was a woman and the other was a tall middle-aged man with short dark hair .

As he stared at the man, CEO Josef pupils contracted, he even forgot about the cup of tea, which he had subconsciously let go hence resulting in it spilling on the expensive carpet floor .

With a gaping mouth and a flabbergasted look, the man said

"Mother . . . fucker . . . . "
