Due to a certain pyromaniac multitasking in the aquarium, the guild competition between the three kingdoms was postponed!
It was just another two weeks, and Reylin had a lot of fun these days.
He trained in real life and did multitasking on weaker monsters. It was mainly because Yuki couldn't be away for too long, and they just had two days of their multitasking.
After two weeks, Reylin also had a few responsibilities to do outside!
Sebastian reminded him of it, "Young Master. Since your eighteenth birthday is just in a month, you must visit the bureau and issue your ID. That's the first responsibility in your adult life."
"I am more than ready for the so-called adult life," Reylin replied while eating, "Your cooking got better, Hania."
It was the weekend, and Hania was in the early morning. Although she rarely talked with Reylin, each of their conversations brought something into her life. Now, her heart fluttered with happiness from the compliment.
"Thank you!" She bowed and looked at her young master eating her breakfast with big eyes.
Sebastian smiled at them and replied to Reylin's former words, "Young Master has always been mature; that is if we exclude his crazy outbursts."
"Oh, Sebastian…… Those will be with me until the grave," Reylin replied.
Hania added, "You often see crazy middle-aged men or even some old people. People are born crazy, and that is a fact!"
"Hah," Reylin chuckled.
Sebastian shook his head, "Don't butter the young master up too much, Hania. You must be honest! Honest!"
"Isn't it too early for me, to be honest?" Hania asked, leaving Sebastian pondering.
After a bit of contemplation, he agreed with her, and the three of them left the house to go to the bureau.
Reylin took a seat in his car and looked over his phone.
"That world and its marketing literally exploded," He chuckled while tapping the screen and going across a few news.
"For the guild competition, I will have you accompany me, Sebastian," Reylin added.
However, his butler's face contorted, and worry transpired on it, "Young Master…… I can't call you by your nickname or name…… I can't, so I think it would be best for me to watch from home."
"And I thought I would have two tanks," Reylin chuckled, "I don't mind it."
"I am relieved, Young Master," Sebastian sighed and drove the car to the bureau.
In Reylin's country, his father had issued a law where those offices would work even on weekends! For many years, those people were conducting themselves as gods, so he slapped them with more work.
Reylin found himself before the bureau, and he chuckled at the queue, "Let's wait." He had many connections, such as friends in police or firefighters, but Reylin didn't want to boast or rely on his surname.
He stepped behind the man with Sebastian and Hania behind him.
"From the looks of it, we will wait at least an hour……" Sebastian sighed, and so did his co-worker, Hania.
Since many had gone through queues in their lives, Reylin wasn't the exception, and he sighed at people bumping and thrashing around. A man before him turned around and provoked Reylin so that his friend could step in.
Reylin whispered, "Don't even try, or I will stuff your briefcase with this beauty.
Seeing the bomb in Reylin's hand, the man's eyes trembled, and he turned around without saying even a word!
The queue was annoying for everyone, but Reylin found someone who topped that, "What a fateful encounter."
"Indeed, the fourth," Heinun Brand came out of the bureau just for Reylin.
That was the man who poured his money into the game, and the amount wasn't a laughing matter. Any civil would have his eyes rolling outside should they see those numbers, but for Reylin, it mattered not.
The relationship between him and his father was what brought enmity between them.
Of course, both of them wore smiling masks, and Brand invited Reylin inside.
They bypassed the queue under the disbelieving eyes and entered the bureau.
Inside, Brand didn't turn around, and he kept leading Reylin toward the room.
He said, "We happened to land in the same province, the same kingdom. Although I haven't seen your moves in the royalty and its nobles, I am not so convinced you haven't made any."
"And do you expect me to reveal my moves? Sure. I blow up monsters and people with my flames. You must have seen my legendary move, haven't you?"
Brand laughed, "I have. If you don't feel like revealing anything, I will do it. It's a game, isn't it?"
"Just a game, you say? Haha," Reylin snickered, "I am all ears."
"The players have been causing a lot of trouble. They are too greedy for the quests, and the majority of them feel entitled to get those. They don't try to explore the world, and they want everything revealed before them.
That is quite troubling for the royalty, and we will help them."
"You and your son, huh?" Reylin titled his head.
"And players working for us. You just need to throw them some money, and they will do the work for you. I have tested them against you." Brand revealed the recent activities of his people.
Just as Reylin had inferred, someone was aiming for him! Those players were paid by Brand, and he did it because Reylin was precisely a good target.
Both of them didn't like each other, and that wasn't surprising at all.
Brand continued, "I have been thinking about the name…… Police…… Youngsters these days look down on the police too much…… They wouldn't like the name, so what about the heroes?"
"Heroes? That's a good name for a group of such righteous people as you. So if I am right, you will use players to hunt other players and make them good guys for residents.
This will have interesting consequences."
"Battle will never stop in this world. I look forward to the consequences, whatever you have thought of. Mind sharing some stuff?" Brand chuckled.
"Ah, some childish ideas. I think the old man such as you wouldn't like it all," Reylin replied with a wide smile.
"The heroes will take care of the troublesome players and the dark matter's zone. We will cleanse the capital and become the royal family here. Our guild will be the royal noble household." Brand declared.
Reylin whistled, "I am so happy for you. You got so much into the game you might achieve something meaningful in your life."
His words contorted Brand's face.
Reylin quickly added, shifting the topic, "The Royal Guild. That is the concept the royalties would agree to. You are smart. I get it. Does it mean you will also be in that guild competition, or will your sonny be the spotlight?"
Brand sneered, "We will be in the spotlight. We will beat the dungeon within the ant colony and bring the most resources to the Blue Kingdom. They will show off the power of their people, us, the players, and our friendship will continue growing up."
"I mean, you don't have to tell me how much you are into gaming, old man," Reylin attacked back, then grasped the knob leading to the room with the office worker, "Thanks for guiding us and making our stay here much, much merrier. I will repay that in the game by blasting your son's face. Ah, yeah…… Good luck to your heroes too. That's such a beautiful concept."
"I look forward to seeing what you have done in the Faynom World, the fourth. I am not talking about your battles or dark matter's zone war."
"Oh, really now?"
"You, Crowns, always butt in. Even if you don't want to, you always end up at the high seat, influencing the crowd. Be it doctor, lawyer, or singer. Your brothers influence many people, from youngsters to old dogs such as me. You will end up the same." Brand said with a smile.
Although he didn't say it out loud, Brand and his son would go against Reylin and even his brothers should they enter the game.
Reylin shrugged, "See you at the guild competition."
Saying this, Reylin pulled the knob and entered the room.
Sebastian and Hania followed in, and the doors closed.
Reylin clicked his tongue, "So fucking annoying. Sebastian. You will have some work to do soon."
"Young man!" The lady in the office shouted, "How can you use such vulgar language?! You must be here for your ID, don't you? Say your name and fill this file!"
"Crown Reylin."
"Eh? Ah…… Umm…… There's really…… such…… Eh?" Her indignation quickly disappeared, and confusion appeared as she checked Reylin and confirmed his birth and parents on her screen……
The shock wasn't even enough to describe her!
