Chapter 1759 Don't mess this up now. Fortune's Call's building was as busy as it always was, mercenaries conversing and laughing loudly, some trying to look for suitable missions for themselves, some returning from their missions and reporting the results. It was just any other random day in Fortune's Call with no difference at all. Step Step Suddenly, an extremely beautiful figure walked into the building, and in an instant, this 'busy and loud' building turned silent. Males and females alike stared at the woman, unable to utter a single word, Now one had to know, this was Nexus, a Mercenary World, a world that welcomes thousands of different races on a daily basis. If one tried to count the number of different races they see in this place, the number would be in six digits, and because of this, the 'beauty perception' here was a mess. If a woman was beautiful in one's eyes, there would be many who wouldn't even bat an eyelid at her. The figure, however, seemed to be an exception to this rule, attracting the attention of all the races present here. It was a welcome not many received; the figure, however, ignored it all and walked towards the counter where a three-eyed woman was sitting. Seeing the woman walking towards her, Arshia was slightly intimidated. The woman had long black hair, dark, hollow eyes that showed no emotions. Yes, her face was extremely beautiful, but she gave off an extremely unapproachable aura. "I need to meet a man named Simba." The woman spoke, her voice cold just as one would expect. "S-Simba...?" Arshia stuttered. It was quite a rare sight; after all, she had met a fair share of people far more intimidating than this woman. Sure, this woman had a big presence, but it wasn't enough to make Arshia stutter. Arshia's reaction was different because she noticed something. This woman... She felt like she had met her before... No, more accurately, she had met a woman with similar features before... 'Riona Leander...' She recalled a name, and the moment she did, she thought of an extremely handsome man. 'Nux...' "Do you not know him? I was told I would find him here." Arshia's thoughts were interrupted by the woman's cold voice, which seemed to have gotten even colder for some reason. "H-He is here." 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶 Arshia nodded. Normally, not just anyone could meet Simba, especially not someone who just barged into this place. However, Arshia could tell this was important, so she decided to use her own authority. "I-I will take you to him, follow me." She spoke as she stood up. The woman nodded, and the two moved to the second floor. On the second floor, inside a certain office, Simba stared at the woman sitting in front of him with a cold look on her face. "So you are Simba? I have heard about you." Amaya spoke, her voice indifferent. "What do you want from me?" Simba questioned back. His voice didn't lack a sense of authority, but at the same time, it carried a hint of respect. It seemed like he was scared of offending this woman, but at the same time, he also didn't want to come out subservient. "A while ago, two Sovereign Humans took the Black Mission. You were the one who handled that matter, correct?" "Y-Yes, that did happen." Simba nodded. He knew he was stronger than this woman, but for some reason... the woman's presence was simply too intimidating. Or maybe it was because Simba already knew where this woman came from. "How many people know about it?" Suddenly, the woman questioned. "What...?" Simba was taken aback. "That troublemaker took that mission. How many people know about it?" "N-Not many. Most Mercenary Halls keep the details regarding that mission a secret for... reasons." Simba replied. The mission's difficulty only increases as more mercenaries fail. One of the Mercenary Halls was even annihilated because their attempt increased the mission's difficulty exponentially, Because of this, in order to not attract 'their' attention, most Mercenary Halls keep it a secret whenever a mercenary picks that mission. If this woman was indeed from the place he thought she was from, then she should know what he was talking about. Amaya nodded at Simba's words, confirming his doubts. 'She... is from a Supreme World as well... She's likely associated with the same force that monster belonged to.' Simba's face turned grim. Then, "Get rid of it." Suddenly, Amaya ordered. "W-What...?" Simba stuttered. "Nux and Riona Leander never came to you and took that mission, is that clear?" "I-L..." Simba didn't know how to react. He found himself in a difficult spot. The woman in front of him was only a Sovereign. He was much stronger than her. She shouldn't be ordering him around like this... but... "Simba." Suddenly, the woman called out. The moment Simba looked into her eyes, she leaned forward and, "Till now, you have handled every single situation perfectly. I can sense that you are treading carefully and are constantly thinking your actions through. That's a good sign." She praised, but then, in a voice so cold that Simba felt shivers down his spine, she continued, "Don't mess this up now." Simba couldn't even speak. "Nux Leander came here, defeated all the mercenaries to spread his name all over Nexus, and then disappeared. He never took any other mission after that. Is that clear?" "Y-Yes." Simba nodded. Amaya then tapped her finger on the table and, "I can leave the matter in your hands, correct?" Simba nodded again. "Good." Amaya stood up. "It was nice talking to you, Simba. Oh, and of course, this meeting never happened either. Just keep this in your mind." Saying those words, the woman walked out of the office and reached the first floor. Just as she was about to leave the building, "You seem new here. Would you like me to guide you? Trust me, you can pay any way yo " A man with a smile that told everything Amaya needed to know walked towards her and... Whoosh Before the man could get close to her, he was surrounded by Black Mist, and when the Mist disappeared, so did the man. And the woman walked out of the building, not even acknowledging the man's presence. Simba, who saw this scene with his sense, turned solemn. "Absolute Law..." He muttered. "Did she tell you who she was...?" Simba heard a familiar voice.
