Chapter 191: Traces Of Similar Myth

Walking outside the Mission Hall, he saw many grandiose buildings and in the distance, spotted a board above a structure which said Cloud Spring Treasury.

He took out his new badge and sent soul force into it. Information flowed into his mind.

'This seems similar to jade slips I read in the novels.

This should be made from a combination of formations, albeit a little complex...' He thought, 'Can I tamper with this?'

'No... It'll probably break...' Davis shook his head.

He decided to visit the Treasury later as going now would only be useless.

'Going to my room now would be boring... Let's explore the headquarters for a bit...' Deciding so, he started to roam around.

Walking around at a slow pace, he observed the people who were passing by him to and fro, looking at him in a strange light.

He heard before that there's a population of around 400,000 Mercenaries in the Cloud Spring Mercenaries.

The Headquarters only had about 30,000 people whereas the branches spread out in the entire Tripartite Alliance Territory housed the remaining members.

Not all of them heard of him in the first place anyway.

"Yo kid, are you lost?"

Davis suddenly heard a voice behind him.

A middle-aged man who had a beard and looked lean in the uniform, smiled as he asked.

'Guide? No...' Davis mused and replied, "No, I'm just roaming around..."

Saying so, he left without giving a glance again.

"Hey wait! If you're just roaming around, I'll accompany you..." The middle-aged man shouted.

"Huh? Mister, what are you up to?" Davis rolled his eyes and questioned. He had no idea why this man called out to him.

"Haha, aren't you easily annoyed..." the middle-aged man looked left and right before moving towards him to whisper in his ears.

"I just completed my mission and saw you a while back conversing with Miss Sasha in good terms. I wonder if you can help this big brother here invite her to Nash's Restaurant this night?"

Davis blinked, "In other words, you want me to hook her up with you?"

"Ohh! You sure do unde... What! No!" The middle-aged man nodded but then hurriedly shook his head as he couldn't believe the words coming out of this boy whom he thought of as a kid.

He had his mouth agape as he looked at the boy's calm expression. It looked like this boy was well versed in the society of adults.

"Haha, little boy, keep this a secret. Tonight, I will acknowledge my love for her and earn her affection."

"..." Davis kept staring.

The middle-aged man pleaded on seeing the boy looking suspiciously at him, "I won't ever harm her, I promise!"

"..." Davis lifted up one his brows.

"You can have these..." Saying so with his bloodshot eyes, the middle-aged man handed over ten spirit stones.

Davis's eyes lit up as he grabbed those and kept it in his spatial ring, "Alright, what should I do?"

"Hehe, you can call me big brother Haus."

Haus rubbed his hand as he thought his plan succeeded and then explained what he had to do to invite Sasha.

"Right? That's all you have to do and those ten spirit stones are yours! Don't worry, here in the headquarters, no one dares to fight and most of the troublemakers are out on a mission, so this is my only chance!" Haus boasted as he smiled proudly.

"Hmm? Troublemakers?"

Haus blinked, "Uh... You don't know? Hehe, then pretend that I didn't say it..."

"I am thinking of declining this deal..." Davis disinterestedly waved his hand.

"Wa... Fine! You must be new to the headquarters to not know about them right?"

Davis nodded.

"These troublemakers actually don't respect our leader, and will intentionally cause some trouble wherever they have the chance!"

Haus sighed, "You see, Miss Sasha is talented in her own right and can be considered a genius. Many would like to marry her, including those troublemakers! If they find out that I openly invited her, they might find trouble with me."

Saying these words, he realised there was something wrong with it, "Don't misunderstand! I'm not afraid of them, it's just that I have no intentions to cause trouble in the headquarters and besides, they are only able to roam around provoking people because they have the backing of Jawan..."

Haus hurriedly shook his hands, "Anyway, you won't meet them today, I'll leave this up to you..."

Looking at his disappearing silhouette, Davis sighed and looked at the spatial ring, 'Men risk it all in the process of gaining and losing wealth, even possibly risking our lives in the process of courting a woman. Such horny creatures we are...'

Sighing once again, he returned to the Mission Hall and invited Sasha to Nash's Restaurant saying that someone wanted to invite her.

Surprisingly, she accepted it without asking much questions.

Davis had his brain stop working for a second, 'Is she naive? Or is she sure that nothing will happen to her in this place?'

He then shrugged and left, returning to his room, solidifying his cultivation while also healing his body.

Most of the injuries caused by his breakthrough were thoroughly dealt with by now, only leaving some sequelae which were impossible to remove unless he had some heavenly treasures.

...

Davis arrived at the restaurant and entered it.

There, he saw Haus waving at him happily. Davis smiled as he saw it and walked towards him.

Haus had changed his clothes to a formal one. It slightly resembled medieval western clothing that was used for banquets and parties but was quite grand.

Meanwhile, Davis wore the same uniform but didn't think much of it.

"Haha! Come here, boy! Sit down..." Haus complacently laughed.

Davis then sat on a round table that was for three persons since there were three chairs.

"I forgot to ask your name? How rude of me..."

"Tian Long..." He uttered jokingly.

"Tian... Long, is it? It's been an unknown amount of years since the Sky Word Emperor changed the world with his powers. Through that, it granted us knowledge of the language we use now, effectively removing many walls when interacting with one and another..."

'Sky Word Emperor? Is this related to the legend in the second layer?'

"Honestly, this helped the human race a lot, and played an important role in us being able to rule thirty-eight territories making us a powerhouse..."

Davis took the information in but acted as if he was confused, "What are you talking about? Also, I'm not Tian Long... I'm Davis!"

Haus turned speechless.

"Haha, sorry to bring this banter out of nowhere. Now, I trust you were able to invite the main character here?" Haus brushed off the topic and winked at him knowingly.
