Chapter 134 Xtra Class!!

"Anyway let's get to the important topic first." Shin started.

"What do you plan to do now? Even though we saved you you are not out of danger yet."

Finding his words very reasonable Celeste nodded her head.

"I have a friend in the Awakened association. But I couldn't get in contact with her for the last few days. Until I can reach out to her I can't let myself get caught."

'Interesting, so she has some connections.' Shin thought inwardly.

"Is that why you went to the Association? But she wasn't there."

"Yes, after that I ended up in that situation."

*Grrr* (Stomach grumbling sounds.)

Celeste's face turned red in embarrassment.

"Let's get dinner first. We will talk about this later." Shin said as he remembered it was also time to meet James and Jenny.

"But what about those assassins?" Celeste was worried they might get attacked if they go out now.

"Don't worry about them," Shin said as he glanced at Alice and she gave him a 'leave it to me look.

After all, she was keeping a track of them.

Celeste nodded her head and followed after Shin and Alice. She can't say anything about it. She can only trust them. If they wanted to harm her they would have done it from the start.

As they checked out of the hotel. The receptionist gave Shin a knowing look.

'Why does it feel like I am being falsely accused?'

He couldn't stop that feeling.

"Please come again."

They took a taxi to the meeting place.

Alice had checked the marker they had already left this place and they were very far away.

"Alice, remember the places they stay for a long time," Shin whispered in her ear.

Alice felt electricity run all over her body.

"No problem. Haah Haah. Leave it to me."

'Why is she panting?' Shin shook his head thinking must be due to their earlier session.

'Even though I control my stats while doing it. It might be tough for her. I'll ask her later.'

Alice didn't know Shin's thoughts. Otherwise, she would have refuted it strongly.

As they had nothing to do. She once again used his magic eyes to check Celeste's status.

[Celeste Hall]

[Level - 5]

[Age - 22]

[Special ability - Creator (S)]

[Trait - Innovative, Trustworthy, Simple minded, Curious, Anxious, Fearful.]

'Anxious and fearful?' Shin then saw her quivering while cautiously looking through the window.

'She is afraid the Assassin will come again.' Shin thought over it and decided to not console her. 'It's all up to Alice now.'

She didn't disappoint him. Although she could have been nicer.

"Are you still afraid? Shin already told you everything is fine. If he says it's fine then it's fine. What are you so uncertain about?"

Celeste nodded her head timidly. She felt if she kept acting like this Alice will get annoyed.

The car stopped and they walked out of it. They found themselves in front of a famous restaurant. 'The Xtra Class'. Their quality of service is pretty good.

It's one of the most luxurious restaurants in the northern sector. It was still nothing compared to the southern sector.

Shin had already made a reservation and booked a table.

"Is there a need to spend so much on a dinner?" Celeste didn't expect this. She only thought it would a dinner in some small restaurant. Not 'The Xtra Class'.

"We have money so why not use it? My guild members are coming of course I have to treat them better."

Well, that wasn't the only reason. Shin wanted to make a connection with the owner of this restaurant.

In the future, Xtra Class was not just a luxury restaurant in the northern sector. It made its name far and wide in other cities too. With its specialty meat.

Xtra Class made a problem with someone big and got acquired by someone else. So the owner or rather the head chef who made Xtra Class's popularity skyrocket worked under that big corporation just for the small mistake he made of offending them.

'The funny thing is, the corporation that troubled him was none other than Mark Corporation.'

'Seeing the current state of the restaurant the business is still good.'

'If I can get him to join us, we can get the grade food.'

'The chef became awakened with the ability to enhance others' stats with his food. He processed monster meats and made them into exquisite cuisines. His discoveries of monster meat recipes were very famous. He was also nicknamed monster chef. Too bad I don't know his name.'

'Although Leonard had many problems in his head and character. He loved good food. So he learned those recipes and tried them himself. After several failed attempts and being poisoned he was finally successful. He also got a poison resistance skill while trying to process monster meat.'

'He was never able to taste the Owner's food. This was his only regret in life.'

Shin thought as he was disgusted by Leonard. Although his memories were very useful. It's unpleasant remembering his atrocities.

As he was thinking all this he saw two familiar figures coming toward them.

"You guys are finally here," Alice said.

It was James and Jenny.

"Take a seat, guys. Order whatever you want." Shin said as he handed over the menu.

James and Jenny took a seat. They noticed Celeste, and although were unfamiliar with her they greeted her regardless. After all, she came with Shin and Alice.

While they were waiting for food James asked.

"What did you want to talk about earlier?" Before he had understood Shin wanted to ask something serious.

Jenny and Alice also stopped talking and were listing closely now. Feeling the sudden change in atmosphere. Celeste was confused about whether she should be a part of this conversation or not.

"Should I be listening to it? Isn't this a serious matter?" Celeste said.

Shin looked over at her and replied.

"Yeah, it is."

"Should I go out then?" Celeste asked not sure what to do. She was very hungry.

*Grrr*

Shin heard that terrifying rumble from her stomach and said.

"Just sit, food will arrive soon,"

Celeste turned embarrassed as she said.

"But, isn't this talk only for the guild member?"

Shin's eyes met hers.

'What a sincere person, she is thinking about others even when she is hungry.'

"Then just join the guild. You can listen to it." Alice said without giving Shin a chance to say it.

"Eh?" Celeste was surprised and confused.

"Yeah, don't think too much. You can sign a contract later. Now just take a seat." There was some annoyance in Alice's words.

Celeste didn't say anything further and took a seat.

Seeing that the matter was settled. Shin decides to continue the talk. He didn't think much about whether Celeste will join them or not. It's up to her. 'Although if she joins then I can change my plans.'

"You remember the blonde guy, which betrayed you and used you as bait." Hearing Shin's words James and Jenny's eyes turned serious.

"Of course, we remember. How could we not? I haven't taken my revenge." Jenny was the one to say it.

Alice agreed with her after all they wanted to take Jenny.

"If only I could meet him again. I wanted to crush his head and cut him into pieces." James was very angry.

"Um... s-sir, your order is here." The waiter timidly left the food on the table and scurried away. He was very afraid just now. 'I shouldn't get involved with such terrifying people.' That's what his face said.

"You scared him," Shin commented.

James felt a little embarrassed. But what he said was true he couldn't contain his anger.

"Tell me about him. What did he look like? His height, facial features, and most importantly his power."

James started telling him everything he remembered about that guy and his lackeys.

"As for his powers, I don't know exactly. He just grabbed the person and he died screaming. Although he was surrounded by a red aura."

no(????(e)lbi????.n(et

At this moment Shin was in deep thought. For the information, he still wasn't sure if the criminal organization leader was the same person.

Although in the future memories he should have made his headquarters in Polaris city. If in early stages the organization was in Aston city. It would be better to get rid of them.

If only he could be certain.

"Ah, also that guy had a green snake tattoo on his right arm. It's a big tattoo covering his whole arm." Jenny said remembering that she had seen it while they were still defending against monsters in rounds to survive.

Now Shin was certain they were talking about the same guy. So he was from Aston city. At this moment Shin felt a small tug from his side.

"What is it, Celeste?"

"The people who wanted me to join. The logo of their organization is also a green snake." Celeste said as she clearly remembers the strange logo.

"What a surprise," Shin said while smirking.
