85 You've got this

Desmond chuckled and agreed to the woman's request to pay her bill. He called out to the bartender and said, "ha, barkeep whats this woman's bill I'll pay for it".

The bartender looked at Desmond and scoffed at him after what he heard. The bartender then replied, "sure that's no problem her bill is currently 23,700 magic crystals because of how high the amount is I have to request that you stay here till the bill is paid in full. Please don't forget my 15% tip for giving such wonderful service. While you're at it don't forget to pay your own bill and for the damages to the bar".

Desmond almost completely lost his cool after hearing that number it was more than twice he made when he robbed Vincent.

"What in the world is she drinking for the bill to be that high?" uttered Desmond.

The bartender told him it was mostly the Fire Dragon's Breath that cost 100 Magic crystals per bottle. The catgirl had so many of them she basically cleaned out the inventory.

Slowly backing away Desmond said to them, "you know what I am fully supportive in the notion a woman doesn't need a man to take care of them so I think she's got this".

Just as Desmond turned around to leave he saw a charming man that carried a small book in his hand walking towards him. He had on a pair of glasses that dug into his combed-back black oily hair. His eyes were focused and stern, but there was also a gentle side to them. If he hadn't worn his official city guard uniform and had a badge on his uniform indicating his rank as a major Desmond would have thought the man was a teacher.

Because of the grueling training Desmond received from Sergeant Freeman Desmond instinctually saluted the high ranking officer in front of him. That man gave Desmond a node and stopped close behind the demi-human saluted her just like Desmond, but far more serious then and said: "Lieutenant Cornel Aundrea Briggs you are requested to report back to the city guard training camp immediately".

Aundrea looked back at the man and said, "Vlad can't it just wait I'm not done drinking I still have to do a little hunting after this too.". She drunk another glass of alcohol after saying that and the bartender served her another glass.

Vlad shook his head and said, "No, it can't this is an official announcement from General Emma Von Cooler everyone is being called back and besides none of the drinks here can even get you drunk so there is no need to keep drinking it".

"Well, what else am I suppose to do I ran out of things to drink in my office and everyone else either hides their stash from me or only has something cheaper than this".

Vlad adjusted his glasses then replied, "well you can find a new place and keep drinking latter right now we have to go"

"Fine, but since your dragging me away you paying the bill".

Vlad shrugged replying, "that's fine so long as it gets you out of here faster".

The bartender told Vlad the bill, but he didn't even flinch when he heard it, unlike Desmond. Vlad conjured a blue card the same way people summon the citizen ID that is implanted inside them.

It was a universally accepted bank card from the Black Cauldron clan. It acts similar to a magic pouch, but it can only hold magic crystals. With the added benefits of wireless transfer of funds and access to a market only accessed threw the usage of the card.

The card can only be obtained after someone has reached the minimum requirement of rank 1 and has a minimum starting balance of 100k magic crystals. There are different kinds of cards available depending on a persons rank. Rank 1 has a red card, Rank 2 has a blue card, Rank 3 has a Gold card, while rank 4 is black. A person rank is the deciding factor of what is available to them through the market.

The bartender's eyes shined when he saw the card, never in his wildest dreams would he think he would get the chance to see such a precise object let alone touch one. He handled the card with great care as he used a card reader to scan it. The bar had the card reader for a long time, but rarely did they get the chance to use it.

After Vlad paid for Aundrea's drinks both of them left completely forgetting about Desmond who was happy he didn't have to keep saluting.

"Why is it I keep running into such strong people anyone above captain rank in this city is typically rank 2 or higher and after all those books I read I'm fairly sure those two are strong enough to solo fight the entire U.S military from my old world.

I never actually seen any high ranking people fight hell I haven't even fought against many apprentice-level people. Besides that Otis guy, Lance, and a few others when sparing at the training camp. Whatever, I'm just glad I didn't accidentally insult her or my already short life would have come to an abrupt end".
