Leave Me Alone, Heroines!

"Welcome to the hunter association HQ." The butler spoke with a graceful movement of his hand as if he was introducing an important person.

What stood behind him though was a massive building. It was so massive in fact that it would probably make any skyscraper on earth look like a motel on the side of the road.

All of the fronts of the building were made out of glass and most of it looked sturdy enough to not break after one or two punches.

Acht whistled quietly before taking a look at his surroundings. They were in the dead center of Lagradon at the moment. They had reached this place after leaving the forest and riding a luxurious limousine that was waiting for them. This district was by far the most prestigious district of Lagradon where most business companies and international banks. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was the heart of the lower world.

With just one glance, Acht could see aspiring brokers and hopeful businessmen moving left and right with their phones in their hands trying to catch any opportunity they could have so they could secure a bigger piece of the pie.

They were all mostly unawakeners who didn't find an opportunity as hunters so they had to adapt to this world's rules and lead another, more peaceful life.

But, all of that didn't matter in front of this colossal building. This place was indeed the most important out of all of them. Where most people think dreams come from.

"Follow me inside please." The man added and walked inside.

Acht and Tania then followed him inside the biggest company in the world.

The whole entrance was made out of glass so they were able to see it from the outside but it was still amazing to look at. Acht had seen plenty of luxurious places in his two lives so he grew a sense of tolerance toward them. But, this place still took his breath away.

It looked like a mix between the best hotel in the world and the best office in the world to create a modern heaven for humans.

With just one look, he could see countless employees working on their assigned jobs while wearing the same uniforms. Most of them were unawakeners with some exceptions here and there.

"This world keeps on impressing me with its aesthetics." He muttered before focusing on the butler and hurrying his steps.

He was already approaching the elevator.

"The boss is on floor 750. I won't be going with you so please take care." He said as he tapped the button for the 750th floor and left us inside.

The elevator was big enough to hold 30 people inside without a problem. There was also a big screen TV in the middle of the elevator that was showing the news.

"It will take us a while to reach floor 750," Acht said as he leaned his back on the wall.

'Leislet…I do remember her from the book but she didn't appear much…I can't predict what she will say.' He wondered quietly.

Until this point, he had predicted that he will catch the attention of some big shot in this world but he was still unclear about what they will ask from him

'She might ask me to join her family like Scarlett…'

The moment he remembered her name, a wave of nostalgia hit him. Even though it wasn't that long ago, he still slightly missed her since she was the first person that he befriended in this world.

'How is she doing I reckon?' He thought to himself.

As he was thinking so, he heard what the news reporter said while touching his hand with his ear.

"Our sources have just reported breaking news! The youngest son of the Slethermoon family has been found dead in a mysterious manner. His body was found in his hotel room pinned to the wall with a sword that was piercing his heart. The young man had come to the city for a mission assigned by his family. The authorities are still searching for clues about the killer..."

'Hmm, the Slethermoon family? I recall them from the book. They seem to be quite influential in this world.'

But, he didn't give the news much care since it had no relation to him. It was a conflict between huge powerhouses that he doesn't want to get involved in.

As he was having such thoughts, the elevator door finally opened and they found themselves on a considerably smaller floor.

This was the highest floor so, with one simple look, anyone could see the clear sky and the clouds far beneath it.

"Please…come in." a feminine voice suddenly called for them.

Acht looked at the origin of the voice who was an older woman in her 30s sitting down on a big chair.

Even with her age, she didn't look a day older than 20 with an extremely curvaceous body that was tightly hugged by a professional suit. The suit however didn't cover her huge cleavage and her beautiful neck.

She was an extremely gorgeous woman that could make any man go wild with lust.

Acht didn't seem to bother much with her appearance in contrast to Tania whose face turned extremely serious for some reason. Gradually, a small frown started appearing on her face and she instinctively clenched her fist.

'Enemy!' She thought to herself.

Acht was oblivious to his partner's reaction and just walked inside as per what she asked.

"I was really eager to meet you, mister Acht…" she said with a seductive smile on her face. Her smile was a mix between charm and coldness but it was still not emotionless by any means.

"And why is that, may I know?" He said with a casual tone.

Leislet put her hand on the table and answered.

"Honestly, you had piqued my interest since the first phase of the test. So, I decided to wait until the second phase to make sure my eyes weren't tricking me…fufufu." She giggled with her hand on her mouth.

"I see…That's an honor for me." He replied without a shred of respect in his voice.

She seemed to catch on to that but she didn't feel offended. In fact, she felt herself getting even more interested in him. She forgot the last time she had someone talk to her like that and it felt quite refreshing.

So, she stood up and walked to his side as she spoke.

"You know…People like you are rare these days…We have always been searching for talents…But you are quite frankly an exception even in the sea of talented geniuses.

Acht squinted his eyes at her words and asked with a chilling tone.

"What do you mean?"

"Nothing in particular…But, if I have to describe it…"

Then, she leaned on his chair until her cleavage was almost touching his face and her mesmerizing smell filled her nostrils. Then, she smiled as she said.

"Then, I will say one word. You are 'mysterious'. Like a big present in the holidays…And it seems my holidays are coming early this year…fufufu."

All this time she was hinting at something that Acht was understanding, but for acting sakes, he needed to stay oblivious to it. The last thing he wanted was to put himself in a disadvantageous position in this conversation.

As they looked at each other from such a close distance, they felt a killing intent engulfing the room.

Their eyes were drawn to the other person in the room.

Tania was already barely tolerating Leislet since she considered her as a threat. As if Leislet was about to steal something that was her property. This feeling only intensified when she saw how she approached Acht seductively. She also felt a sense of inferiority when she saw Leislet's assets that kept jiggling with each move she made. Even comparing her immature body with that of a walking bombshell like Leislet would be a shameful thing to do.

Now, she couldn't hold herself any longer and unleashed her murderous intent and glared at Leislet like an angry kitten.

"Oh my, I forgot about you for a moment, miss Tania. You are also included in this conversation." She replied with a smile while ignoring the gaze she was getting from the little girl.

Acht almost could swear he saw two sparkles of electricity fly between their eyes for a split second.

'What is this atmosphere here?' He wondered with a confused look.

So, to break this awkwardness, he asked Leislet a question.

"So, what's your purpose for inviting us here, Miss Leislet…I reckon you didn't do it just to praise us for our 'amazing talents'?"

Leislet laughed gently and nodded her head.

"You are right indeed. I had you come here for one main reason."

She then returned to her seat and laid back carefreely.

"Would you like to attend the Mystic Soul Convention?"
