Chapter 331 The Founder of Scelestus
Chapter 331 The Founder of Scelestus
Space fluctuated and Arya teleported out.
She was currently standing on top of a cliff and in front of her was a huge city around which was nothing but dense jungle.
In the middle of the city was a hundred floors tall tower spread across many acres. There was the name of the tower written on its top right corner and it was glowing red. The name of the tower was:
Nine Roses Hotel.
Arya took a step forward after having a look at it and instead of falling down the cliff, she vanished from her spot.
Arya teleported out again this time but she was now standing in front of a receptionist in the middle of a grand and luxurious looking reception.
The receptionist, noticing Arya to have suddenly arrived, she bowed without feeling any surprise or panic and said in a professional and subservient tone:
"Welcome back, Madam. How may I be of service today?"
"Call Rain. I'll be waiting for her in my office." Arya instructed and walked through the hallway that had an expensive red carpet laid on it towards a certain room.
The receptionist, while still bowing, said, "understood, Madam."
Arya walked inside a grand and spacious room. This room had an ancient looking wooden table, two chairs in front of it made with the same material were present as well. These chairs had some sort of soft cushion on them.
There was a black chair present opposite these chairs and it seemed very exquisite and premium. Arya ignored that chair and walked towards a black sofa and sat on it. The sofa was made out of expensive materials and felt soft to sit on.
There was a bookshelf present in the room, a weapon area in a corner with a few weapons such as swords and axes attached to the walls, a tea set beside the sofa, and a small glass table in front of the sofa as well.
Arya made herself some tea and waited for Rain to arrive. After only a few minutes, Arya heard a knock on the door and looking at the door, she said,
"Come in."
Rain, wearing a white shirt and black skirt with her black hair tied in a ponytail, walked towards Arya. She stood in front of Arya and bowing, she greeted her first.
"Sit down. No need to be so formal right now." Arya said and took a sip of her tea.
It was okay to be formal if they were in public. They were in private currently and Arya didn't give a single care about such formalities.
Rain, still bowing, said, "Madam, please forgive this serv–"
"Stop it, Rain. Acting so subservient would make people misunderstand me. I'll still you, it doesn't matter to me if you act like that or not. Just get the work I give you done and that's about it that I expect from you." Arya said and sipped her tea again.
Rain stood straight and looked Arya in the eyes. "Madam, I really respect you. I don't do it forcefully but out of my own free will."
Rain was very polite with her words.
Arya shook her hand and said, "Let's leave that aside for now. Let's get to work. Take your seat."
Rain walked towards the wooden chairs and sitting on it, she looked at Arya. The chair was a bit high and it made Rain appear sitting at a height, a bit above Arya. She didn't like this but she wouldn't refuse Arya's orders.
She did however blame Arya internally for not sitting on that luxurious custom made black chair in the room. This chair was made taking into consideration Arya's comfort but she didn't sit on it and rather preferred to be on the couch that was much cheaper than the chair.
She soon cleared her thoughts and paid attention to what Arya was saying. That mattered more currently than her thinking of the position she was sitting in.
"First and foremost, did you issue a black card?" Arya asked the important question.
Rain nodded. "Yes, Madam. Last time you visited the organization, you came with someone who called himself your boyfriend. You didn't deny that claim either and I thought that he really was your boyfriend. So, since that person was Madam's boyfriend, I issued a one of its kind card to him."
Arya chuckled hearing it. "Indeed, that person you're talking about, he's indeed my boyfriend and soon to be husband. Anyway, good job issuing him a special card. Now tell me, what all the benefits will he get by having that card."
Rain began explaining the things and when Arya felt that something was missing or if something needed to be changed, she briefed Rain on that. After talking for a while, they were done discussing the card topic.
'Fufu, my future husband, I am such a good wife and take into consideration so many things for your comfort. I just hope you take advantage of these things and not miss out on it.' Arya thought to herself with a smile.
Even though she made changes and made Lith have a lot of benefits with that card, it would all be useless if Lith never used the card and cut off his connection with Scelestus. But, that thing was a very low possibility as that card could be used everywhere. Such a thing was possible entirely because of one single fact.
It was a card issued by Scelestus!
Scelestus was the number one criminal organization in the world, the ones who controlled and had a monopoly over the entire dark web, and were also the strongest underworld organization. They had their hands deep into almost all places in the world and many didn't even have any idea about it.
Arya was able to provide Lith so many benefits and privilege because she,
She was the Founder of Scelestus!
She owned Scelestus and everything it was today, it was all due to her.
Arya was one of the wealthiest beings in the entire world whose wealth could even rival the Star Dragon's who was officially one of the world's ten wealthiest beings. Arya rivaled her wealth even before she was a Supreme Rank and as far as Arya knew, even Mayzin had no idea about such a thing.
Arya didn't hide things from Mayzin, but Mayzin never asked Arya about wealth and this topic never came up when they talked. Thus, Mayzin was in the dark for now.
Arya, after finishing talking about the important matters, which was nothing else but the issue with the black card, looked at Rain and asked with a smile,
"Now that we are done, I am curious to know how you arrived so early here. I was expecting you to arrive in a few weeks but you came within a few minutes."
"Madam, it's because I was already here." Rain said in a polite manner.
"Oh?"
"Yes. As soon as I got the news that Madam has ascended, I rushed to the headquarters because my intuition told me Madam will visit this place."
Arya chuckled hearing that. "Good job then. Also, speaking of being in the headquarters, did anyone figure out the location of this place yet?"
Rain shook her head. "No, Madam. As I've said before it's almost impossible to locate this place if one doesn't know about it already. There are barriers present everywhere that, I think even someone of Madam's prowess cannot bypass and enter. It's nigh impossible to breach."
Arya stood up and stretching her body, she said, "Yeah, I tried teleporting here yesterday even when I knew the coordinates but I couldn't. It's a weird thing."
Arya was a Supreme Rank now, she should be able to come and go to any place she pleased but she wasn't able to. It was a weird thing for her.
Arya walked towards the window of her office and looking outside, she saw the city surrounded by the dense jungle again.
With a smile on her face and a some seriousness in her voice, she said softly after taking a sip of her tea:
"The Hidden Continent sure is an amazing place."
