Meanwhile, in the Imperial City of Phoenix Empire;
Somewhere in the Hangu district where the Genesis Weapon store is located, there was a huge old building being renovated for the past couple of weeks.
It was once a restaurant belonging to a wealthy individual but due to some reason, his restaurant went out of his business and he neglected the ce altogether.
At the moment, the building and the 8000 sq. m ofnd beneath it is in Mark''s name, although it was bought by Alina using the money given by her master.
After purchasing the building and hiring the experts to renovate it to suit modern style architecture ording to the memories of Mark, she contacted the Song n about the development of the area around.
If the surroundings are dirty, who wille to the restaurant and eat the food? That''s why she wanted to take the help of the Public works ministry.
Fortunately, everything went on her way and the area was currently being cleaned around and the instation of firemps and electricity is being done at a rapid pace.
Inside the kitchen that waspletely renovated, Alina was busy cooking a dish. She was swirling down thedle for a few times and took an ample amount of soup with a piece of meat.
"It''s good but it''s too normal… I need something that will bring those wealthy individuals to this ce and also bring business (weapon sale) to big brother. Hmm…"
After thinking for a while, she wrapped up the cooking practice and left the ce. In about 15 minutes, she reached the guild district and started looking for something.
Because she was wearing graceful clothes and not armor like the people roaming around, she looked like a client. And her beauty did attract the attention of passersby, male and female alike.
A couple of adventurers approached Alina who appeared to be searching for a specific guild.
"Miss, may we help you?" asked an adventurer.
Alina spared a nce at him and said, "A guild called Ace. Did you know it?"
The two adventurers looked at each other and shook their heads before the guy asked, "Are you looking for someone or are you looking for a guild to post a mission?"
"Both," replied Alina in a cold tone upon spotting their lustful gazes. "Now, if you can''t help me, then, don''t waste my time…"
Disgusted by the way they are looking at her, just like the other men, Alina didn''t bother to stay there and proceeded to walk.
An adventurer suddenly grabbed her arm in a hurry, "wait… I can hel…"
Before he finished his sentence, Alina twisted her hand and grabbed his wrist with her grabbed the arm, and swung it over her shoulder.
The adventurer was mmed onto the ground and instantly became unconscious. "You must be tired of living." Shemented as she red at the adventurer at her feet.
The other adventurer was shocked to see the incident. Earlier, they just thought that she is a civilian of the middle or upper ss. But, seeing how she casually knocked a 4-circle realm Spirit Warrior, the adventurer quickly realized that they fu*ked up and immediately apologized to her.
As he begged for mercy, Alina stared at him for a while and spoke, "alright. I will forgive you but you will do one thing."
After a while, both of them were seen following her like guards as she entered the Ace guild.
A few hourster;
The same day noon;
Allen and Lin Xue were at their guild to do some missions as usual.
They have done eight missions so far and all of them were sessful. The two of them also became closer than ever due to spending time with each other in their free time and battling their enemies or monsters in their adventures.
And now, they became quite inseparable. Except during their sleep time and bath time, Lin Xue and Allen could be seen together, almost every minute of the day.
Some people detested it while some just passed it off by seeing Allen as her bodyguard. Whatever the case, neither Lin Xue nor her father minds it. So, no problem hase between them.
Just like every time, the pair of adventurers walked to the mission board to pick up a couple of missions in the same region.
As they were contemting on which one they should choose, the manager of the guild approached them. "Lady Lin, Mr. Allen…"
The both of them looked at him.
He said as he handed a piece of note to Allen, "An important client requested your services. It''s a bodyguard and hunting mission. If you are interested…"
Allen looked at it and said with a look of surprise, "This address… it''s my sister''s."
"Eh? Your sister?" The manager appeared to be shocked for some reason. On the other hand, Lin Xue beamed with delight, "Alina''s? I guess it must be for her restaurant''s business. Let''s leave right away. It''s been a while since Ist saw her anyway."
While it appeared like Lin Xue was interested in the hunting mission, the reality was something else. She just wanted to meet Allen''s sister to impress her. Earlier, she did that while trying to help her in cooking but she failed miserably. But, if it is hunting, then, it will be a good opportunity to redeem herself.
As the both of them left in a hurry, the manager stared at their backs in a daze, "that demonicdy is his sister? There was a stark difference between these siblings. The guy is someone who looked much more disciplined and never disagree on something unless it is necessary. On the other hand, that girl uses violence and threats at the slightest of disagreement." The manager shivered, thinking about Alina while the backs of Allen and Lin Xue disappeared.
About an hourter, they entered the building in the middle of renovations and found Alina in the middle of cutting down onions into thin slices to improve her cutting skills further.
"Hello, sister…" "Ms. Spencer…"
Alina looked at them and let out a smile, "it''s been a while, Allen." She didn''t respond to Lin Xue for some reason, maybe, it has to do with the fact that thisdy is bad at cooking and never gave a proper fight in a one-on-one battle against her.
Putting her feelings aside, she went on exining to them the details of their uing mission.
"So, it''s like this. I need ingredients for my recipes. Hence, we are venturing into Sector-4…"
