Chapter 1760 Just what in the hell is that name...? "Did she tell you who she was...?" Simba heard a familiar voice. He turned around, and his eyes fell on a certain three-eyed woman who had entered his office right after Amaya left. "Arshia..." He called out with a complicated look on his face. Arshia was special. Her background was special, just as Nux had guessed. She hailed from one of the Four Supreme Worlds. Of course, not many people knew about that. Actually, only the Leader of the Fortune's Call and Simba did. Her background was also the reason why Arshia had some special privileges others working in Fortune's Call did not. No normal person could meet Simba this easily inside Fortune's Call. The very fact that that unknown woman was able to get an audience with him despite her low cultivation level was because Arshia made it possible. And Simba knew exactly why Arshia did it. Information. One look at that woman was enough to tell them that she was related to Riona Leander. Following a simple logic, it was easy to understand that the woman was also related to Nux Leander. And for Arshia, who desperately wanted to know about Nux Leander, that woman was her only option. However, "I didn't need to know." Simba shook his head. "What do you mean?" Arshia turned towards Simba. "You have to fin-" Before the woman could complete, Simba interrupted, "Don't get involved in this, Arshia. You are a smart woman. You already have the answer to the question that is in your mind; you are just refusing to accept it." "We cannot be ce-" "Don't be foolish, Arshia." Simba raised his voice.. Then, as he looked into Arshia's eyes, he sighed and continued, "Roughly 150 years have passed, and Umbrasol still stands. What does that tell you? It was a Black Mission where even an Eternal Level being lost his life. He was supposed to face 90,000 beings who are on the same level as him, and you know what's worse? We aren't even sure if that's the end of it. Umbrasol is a High Level World, little one, and it is doing everything in its power to protect itself from destruction. That boy was basically facing a High Level World on his own. How high do you think his odds were? Stop letting your emotions get the best of you. You already have a lot on your plate. You are in no position to get involved with this. We are in no position to get involved in this. The woman who came here belonged to the same force that man did, and the very fact that she wants me to get it off the records that Nux Leander ever took that mission means that they have already accepted the fact that Nux Leander is dead." Simba then stared at Arshia, his eyes showing how pressing this matter was, "And the force behind him wants to make sure that not a single being learns of his failure. You should know it better than I do about how much those worlds and the forces inside them value their reputation. They would go to any lengths to make sure that nothing harms it. Any lengths, Arshia." Simba stressed those words. "" Arshia turned silent, and Simba, who thought that she understood, nodded. "This will be the last time we bring this topic up. Is that clear?" "I..." Arshia momentarily paused, then, with a frown on her face, she spoke, "I have never heard of a force capable of cultivating a being like Nux. How are you so sure that they are from a Supreme World? And... are we sure that that woman actually part of the same force as well?" "You think any other world is capable of raising that monster?" Simba just questioned back, and Arshia had no words to rebut him. "As for that woman, I am sure she comes from the same force as well, and... She might even be stronger than him." "Huh...?" Arshia couldn't believe what she just heard. "You say that just because that woman used an Absolute Law...? Nux didn't even use his Law even when he faced all the Sovereign Level Mercenaries combined. The two aren't even comparable. I am sure Nux also has an Absolute Law." "It isn't about the Absolute Law." Simba shook his head. "What do you mean...?" Arshia frowned, and Simba, with a solemn look on his face, glanced at the place where that woman had killed the mercenary and, "When she used her Law, I couldn't see her connection to any World. That woman... She was capable of hiding the flow of her Law. Even Transcendent Level Beings cannot do that." Simba spoke, and Arshia widened her eyes in fright. Simba then turned towards her again and, "So when I say no more discussion regarding this matter, I mean no more discussions. Is that clear?" Arshia nodded weakly before she left Simba's office, while Simba deleted all the records that contained Nux's information, Decades later, on another Mercenary world many light years away from Nexus, the building of the Blade's Haven Mercenary Hall was much busier than usual as some renowned individuals walked in. As these beings walked, other mercenaries made way for them. "It's them again." "Already?" "Why are you even surprised?" "...it is time we get used to it, huh." "How are they not Elite Mercenaries yet?" "I mean, isn't that stretching it a little too far? Most of the Elite Mercenaries are Primordials, are they not?" "That doesn't mean there aren't Sovereign Level Elite Mercenaries." "But all of those are a bit special, no?" "And you think they aren't?" The person turned silent, his eyes staring at the nine beautiful women walking towards the counter. The moment they got there, They placed a storage ring on the table. "Done already?" The man sitting behind the counter questioned. He didn't receive any answer, but the Vampire handed over another mission's paper. "And... now you want to take another mission... right." The man nodded. It seemed like he was used to this. "I have no clue why you are completing all these missions so desperately. These odd actions of yours have made you popular all over Creston." He sighed. "Well... That's the plan~* Skyla laughed out loud. "Why are you so desperate to become Elite Mercenaries?" The man couldn't help but question. Skyla, however, just tilted her head, "Who doesn't like more money?" "Right..." The man nodded. "Anyways, this will be the last mission before all our party members become Elite Mercenaries, correct?" "Yes, as mentioned before, once you successfully complete this mission, your party, 'the ones who actually do all the work and should be rewarded', will become the party of Elite Mercenaries." The man nodded. In his head, however, he just sighed, 'Just what in the hell is that name...?"
