Chapter 46 - Universal Quest

Inside the restaurant, a footstep can be heard in the entire room walking into me.

Me: sit down Mr. Green and Uncle Silva so we can talk

They sat d the two of them in front of me. Mr. Green is a black man around 20's, a well-built body with a height of 6'2'', he's from Florida. While Uncle Silva, born from New York around the 50's on his age.

Uncle Silva: please don't get angry because of what we did, we just want to confirm that…

I interrupted his sentence.

Me: I would buy you out?

Mr. Green: yeah, two of us have been always sell by many guys bro!. We are 14 in our group but two of us left so we need to be careful who are we gonna trust.

Me: so the two of you try to listen to my conversation with Mr. Fisk?

Uncle Silva: ye-yeah… but now, we can trust you. But what is really confusing is that those two months, they didn't make any move. Like they are… (scratching his head thinking for his answer) investigating!

Uncle Silva: could you f*cking use your head for a god*mn second? It is not us but him! (he pointed me)

Green: Oh…is that so?

Uncle Silva: hahaha… don't worry about this guy. Even this guy is dumb, I can sure we can trust this guy.

Green: yeah that's right bro! wait, nigga what you just say?

From what I notice these two is quite interesting. Why would I say interesting is that, why would the underground king also known as kingpin would try his best to get these two? No matter what I think, I can't find any reason why would the kingpin want them alive so I asked Uncle Silva about it.

Me: let me think, the deal you talking about, is it illegal or something?

Uncle Silva: no it is not. Now, where should I begin… mmm…

Uncle Silva, Mr. Green and the other fourteen members is a treasure hunter group. Their group is composed of rookie treasure hunters except for Uncle Silva that is a veteran. He's been a treasure hunter since the age of 21 while Mr. Green just a new member of the group.

4 years earlier…..

There was a tent in the middle of the desert, raging hot temperature can be felt even you have your shelter. Music of the radio can be only heard inside the tent-like seem no one's living on there like a desolate place complemented by its surroundings.

One of Silva's comrade rushed to his tent while looking excitedly. He told them that they found what they are looking for.

Fellow 1: Mr. Silva! Mr. Silva! We have found it! The tomb has been found!

Seeing his follower explaining excitedly, Silva didn't beat around the bush then he ran to the site.

But he didn't expect what he just saw in the entrance of the tomb. He saw a pool of blood, and there lying lifelessly on the ground is his comrades. There was also a guy holding a revolver on his hand and laughing maniacally.

Silva already seem to know the reason why is his comrades lying on the ground. He shouted at the guy who's holding a gun angrily that he looks to want to kill the guy.

Silva: yo-you!!... Keith what the f*ck did you do?!!

Keith: Nah… it's nothing personal boss, only business is… hehehe… (he laugh creepily)

Silva: you mother*cker! I f*cking trusted you!

Silva didn't take it anymore rushed to Keith. Keith seems to know what will Silva gonna do, he raises his gun pointing at Silva but they suddenly felt that the ground shaking.

Silva: what-what's happening? Did you do something again Keith?

Keith: how the hell I know b*stard! The tomb just opened recently I didn't know what's happening.

Then suddenly felt that the sand and rise into 20 meters. Then they felt bone-chilling that they can't explain in words like they felt fear for the first time in their life. The only thing they saw before they are unconscious is a massive scorpion that they ever seen in their entire life.

Silva: My God!!

The sand covered the whole area that makes a massive explosion at first after that the whole area is covered with sandstorm.

*BOOOMMM**SWISSSS*

Back at the restaurant.

As listening to their stories, I just got the idea that this world is not what I have expected to be. I thought It's just a pattern and just also a coincidence. I am thinking that there is a pattern:

First is Vengeful Spirit and enchantress when I'm in the Philippines, next is the Kraken (tidehunter) at the mysterious island, and now the latest news is the scorpion also known as Sand King true name in-game DOTA as Crixalis.

Me: I see… for now it seems I'm in big trouble (I murmured to myself)

Silva: Huh? What are you saying, boss?

Me: nope nothing! You can go now, you don't need to worry about that massive bouncer. You're safe… for now.

Green: ahh??...

The two of them left the restaurant. I'm just sitting there thinking about what should I do with this notification in front of me.

[Universal Quest Alert: Search the remains of heroes

Description: N.A.

Quest Difficulty: unknown

Rewards: N.A. ]

Some of them are undiscovered and some are hidden.

Me: man… what a pain in the a.s.s this quest. You should give me at least description system. (I mumbled with scratching my hair)

I closed the panel and look at my restaurant if there still any work left and after that I go home. I just walk into my home since it's nearby.

It's Saturday so mom must be waiting in the house. Depend on what kind of mission, she may go home late but these days, she goes home early. That means that if she can go home early every Saturday night.

*knock* *knock*

I knocked the door and shouted…

Me: mom are you there?

She opened the door. I saw my mom face looks worried. Even though she's smiling right now, I can feel that she's worried about something.

Liza: It's almost twelve-midnight sweetie, you are so grounded this time!

When I just about to finish my sentence, I notice in our living room that a guy is sitting on the sofa.

Me: it seems we have a guest mom… 'wait isn't he is…'

Liza: Ohh.. right, I forgot. Let me introduced to you Agent Coulson from Strategic Homeland Inter... what is it again? Ahh! And also he's a co-worker of your mine!

Me: uh… you guys hard time saying that weird black company of yours! So why, sir Coulson in here?

Coulson: since your mom has introduce me so let's straight to the point shall we? But first, let's take a seat.

Mom and I seat in front of agent Coulson, while he is opening a black case.

*Kacha*

He hands me a bunch of files, some of them are stamped with confidential. I did not much look into it since I don't want to

Coulson: from what we have heard from the survivor's statement saying there is a massive sea monster that you have encountered in the lost island.

Me: yeah that's right! Why is it?

It is a weird question to talk about the lost island because the higher-ups want to shut out mouth up. If there's any leak about it, we will be d*mned.

Coulson: it's this…

He hands me a piece of picture. More like a satellite picture from above.

Me: this is!!

Coulson: yeah… I thought you have any idea about that thing so that is why we find you immediately. This might be absurd to know that thing you have said in the statement is true.

Me: wait you mean… the Kraken is still alive?!!
