Lucas was very excited about the weapons that he got, so he decided to try them out the next day and to get a new mission as well. It was a little late, and Lucas was very tired mentally. He thought it was because he made those memory alterations and went to sleep.
After waking up, Lucas received a call from Zaron saying that all the preparations have been done and also received the address of his new house and payment transaction to his super net account.
Lucas was now very excited to see his balance, "Nice, very nice, 105 million rads. I am filthy rich now, haha."
Lucas, after seeing further details, realized that approximately 4 million was what he looted from all the guys he killed, 1 million was his mission reward, and the rest 100 million rads were from Zaron.
Lucas now went to the Dark Gloves organization to get a new mission. Being E rank, Lucas could now do a D rank mission at max.
Lucas browsed through many missions and finally stopped at a mission named 'Grave Robber.'
After years of development in science and technology, the word grave was rarely heard by anyone as all of these graves were already exploited or explored, which was a very difficult task and could only be handled by C rank or B rank and above experts.
Though Lucas's fighting prowess was very high for his rank, it was barely enough to make a dent on a metal wall like C rank.
After thinking for a while, Lucas took the mission and, after going through the mission data, also came to know the number of people who took the mission. Unlike the previous time, this was one of the perks unlocked as his rank grew higher. Lucas knew that real fun would start as his rank grows higher. "Rose's rank may be A or even the legendary S, but no worries. It took me 5 days to get the E rank. I will soon reach her."
...…..
While Lucas left the organization building, the handsome receptionist that Lucas met on the first day in the Dark Gloves org was talking with a white-bearded man in a respectful manner on the top floor of the org building.
"My lord, under the pressure of the Flower Empress, we allowed Rose to get her hands on Zaron's legacy, but don't you think instead of keeping it a secret and letting Rose take it, we should have made Zaron know what his grandfather really left behind and protect it?"
After hearing this, the white-bearded man gave a smile, "James, don't forget that letting that thing be in the hands of the Flower Empress is far better than making Zaron aware of it just to make those old monsters send someone away to take it. Also, by making Rose take it, we have earned a favor from one of the twelve supreme beings, which is countless times more valuable than the whole organization."
After hearing his thoughts, James nodded disappointingly.
After seeing this, the old man sighed and changed the topic, "I heard some interesting fellow showed up this time on the mission. Make him take part in the Dark Tournament. I want to personally see him."
James nodded, "Yes, my lord, I agree with the first part, but he recently advanced to E rank. Maybe it's too early for him to participate in the Dark Tournament."
The old man smiled, "If he is good enough to make you take notice of him, then I am sure he will at least be under 100 rank in the tournament."
