Plundering in the Apocalypse-Chapter 99 Selling The Materials.

"Divine Blessing is an elixir. It is the precious blood of 1000 years old monsters or beasts. Basically when their blood contains some amount of Divine energy it becomes very precious. It only happens in a few cases not all of them contain Divine energy." Shin continued.

"The grade of the Elixir may be different depending on the source. But the better the quality the more improvement Elena can see."

"So, where can we find the Divine Blessing?" Alice asked after listening to Shin's explanation.

"Haah" Shin sighed.

"Let's hope we can find such a monster inside the labyrinth. If not I'll just try something else."

"What do you mean by that? And what is divine energy?" Alice asked as she was unfamiliar with this too.

"Let's talk on our way," Shin replied as the taxi he had booked came to pick them up.

While they were inside the taxi Shin explained his weird dreams to Alice. When she heard about her grown-up self. She couldn't help but be curious.

"Did I look beautiful?" Alice asked with her beautiful wide eyes focused on Shin.

'Th-This is a trap question. If I say she was beautiful will she think I'm undermining her current beauty? And if I said no, she may think I won't like her future self.' Shin felt a cold sweat coming down his forehead.

"You are always beautiful Alice." This answer seemed to satisfy Alice. So then again Shin started telling her about the divine energy stat he got from her.

"I still can't use it. That's why searching for a 1000-year-old monster is a far better option."

Alice nodded her head in understanding. This was a lot of information and it's something related to her too. 'Maybe I'll get to know about that in the future.'

All this time Shin and Alice were talking via Shin's mind control. So the driver didn't hear a single thing.

,m "So where are we going now?" Alice asked as they were going further inside the commercial district.

"I think it's about time we sell all the materials, we will need to purchase a few things before we head to the labyrinth."

As the driver took them around the commercial district. Shin's eyes were only focused on the places which will purchase monster materials.

He needed a good bargain without getting found out. Then his eyes fell on a building which made his blood boil in excitement.

"Marks Corporation. Panther guild."

"Stop here we will get down." Shin tapped the driver's shoulder and got off with Alice.

"Come with me," Shin said as he grabbed Alice's hands and pulled her towards the alleyway.

Alice was dumbfounded by Shin's actions. As they entered the alley Alice thought.

'Don't tell me, Shin wants to do here?' Alice's face turned beet red in embarrassment. This was too sudden for her.

But before she could ask anything she heard Shin activating his skill and calmed down.

"Shadow Veil."

Alice and Shin's figure disappeared. Soon both Shin and Alice went inside the building without attracting any attention. No one was able to see them.

There were guards stationed everywhere. But Shin just used his Mind control on them. It made them unable to notice Shin and Alice's existence. Even if the Shadow Veil gets canceled somehow.

Without any obstruction, they directly went to the monster parts section.

Shin confirmed there were no cameras inside and no eyes prying on them.

He immediately went to the counter and disabled his Shadow Veil.

The receptionist was in shock at the sudden appearance of a person. ƒ𝘳ee𝔀e𝚋n૦𝐯el.c𝗼𝓂

"Who are you? Why are you using your ability inside the guild? You will be charged a heavy penalty. I am going to complain to the higher-ups." The man warned Shin.

Shin didn't explain himself he merely said two words. "Mind Control."

With his words, the angry man calmed down but now his eyes were blank.

"I'm here to sell a lot of monster materials. Purchase all of them at a price 20% higher than the market price." At Shin's command, the man in front of him nodded.

Shin showed all his materials to that person who was also the item appraiser. He would sell all the materials of :

Shell Ape,

Shell Monkey and,

Fang Wolves.

Soon more people came inside to sell the materials and Shin used his Mind Control on all of them. So that no one will know of their presence.

When the receptionist came back after appraising all the items. He gave the slip for Shin to read.

Reading the numbers on that slip. Shin was ecstatic.

"It's 8 Million Unicoins."

"Okay, make the payment in this account." Shin gave him an account number and waited.

This amount was more than enough currently. Shin received the money and with Alice, he went out of the building.

"Won't they be able to trace your account?" Alice asked as she was thinking why did Shin not receive the money in cash when he was so careful.

"They won't be able to trace it, the account in which I received money is very secure. Dad made this account, especially for cases like this. In case Wolner Clan tries to trace us. He took a lot of precautions." Shin explained while the smile on his face wasn't fading.

Alice was very surprised by this information. It turns out, that her father-in-law is also very cool. She nodded her head in satisfaction. She expected nothing less from Shin's father.

But Alice's mind was also focused on what happened inside the building. Can Mind control affect someone that much?

She decided to ask Shin.

"Shin, what did you make them think that they became like that?"

"I made them ignore our existence excluding the receptionist who will soon forget about us and the record will only show the purchase of materials without any customer record."

"It only worked because they were weak. If they were stronger or higher metal power I would have failed. But I used appraisal on all of them before removing our cover."

Alice thought of something and replied.

"Appraisal skill is very useful. I should try to find something similar to it too."

"You can get much useful information which can't be found easily. It will help a lot."

Shin smiled at her words and replied. "Yeah, it's a great idea."

"So where are we going now? To purchase all the things we will need?" Alice asked as they already had a lot of money now so it was probably shopping time.

"We will purchase but lemme call Dad. I need to find the location." Shin uttered and called Alfred. Soon after he got what he wanted and ended the call.

"What do you mean by the location Shin aren't we going to a crafting agency?" Alice questioned.

"We are not going to purchase any items from any crafting agencies. The place we are going to is a lot better. As you are a part of the family, I'll explain it to you."

"Well, a few years ago my Dad had told me about this place. This is where many masters gather and sell their treasures. I was never interested in those things as I couldn't practice martial arts." Shin replied with a solemn look. But soon shook his head.

"So the Masters inside the Aston city also gather and sell their treasures. Although the gathering used to be done only once a month. Now they are doing almost every day. It seems they are preparing for something." Shin's explanation made Alice lost in her thoughts.

"Well, it's the matter between the big families we just to purchase what we need. It's not like we are going to interfere in any of their business." Shin comforted her while patting her head.

"Well, we still have time until tonight, so let's go home," Shin asked as he slowly grabbed Alice's hands.

She didn't say anything and let him do as he pleases. But she had one question in mind.

'Isn't Shin acting a little weird? He is talking to me a lot more. He is not closed like before. Is this the benefit of being a couple? I like it very much. It was a great idea that I made the move yesterday.' Alice was enjoying her time with Shin and she wanted to continue doing that from now on too.

They soon took a taxi and went home.

***

Inside a sewer, a man in dark cloth and a hoodie appeared out of nowhere. On his arrival, two people came running for him and kneeled in front of him.

"Welcome my lord."

"Welcome my lord."

At their words, the hooded man simply nodded but was pleased inwardly.

"Did you get all the information I wanted about the new toy?"

"Yes sir, we found everything we could." A bald man replied.

"Good, let's play it nicely at the start. If he doesn't agree we will be a little forceful. But don't kill him, okay? He seems useful." At the boss's order, both men nodded their heads and went out of the sewer.

Once the lord was alone he pushed at the wall on the side and there was a pathway leading to somewhere.

"Leonard Drake, Huhuhu, How interesting?" He continued laughing as the sounds of his crazy laughter and steps continued echoing throughout the hallway.
