140 Chapter 140

The man named Jack stood up and walked toward me with a big smile.

He seemed to be in his 20s with a slightly handsome face and a tall build. His clean shaved face had this wide smile that seemed to linger on his face for the most part of the day. He also ties his long hair into a messy bun.

"Come on, big boy. Don't stand there like a statue. Come inside and meet our family."

"Who said we are family, idiot? I won't accept a trash brother like you in my family." Lein said while tapping on the table urgently as she watched the old man make the cocktail she ordered.

"Hahaha, my darling, Lein. If we were a family I would be your husband." He answered with a chuckle.

"How about I slice your balls so we can see if you want to marry me or not?" She got her sword slightly out of the sheath before restoring it almost immediately.

She then gazed at the door where Acht stood. Jack also looked at the door with the same serious gaze.

"The boss is here, we should stop messing around," Jack said apprehensively.

The other two also stopped talking.

Then, the door opened and the old man Lenny came in casually, tapping with his cane on the ground.

"Oh, you are all already here? I thought it would take longer."

"Yes, boss," Jack said.

"I should formally welcome you, Acht. I hope you enjoy your stay."

Acht ignored his welcoming and looked again at the door as someone else was coming inside too.

The bell attached to the door rang again and a woman entered the place.

She wasn't particularly beautiful as she had an average face with glasses and a plain look in general. She had a blank look on her face that didn't seem to waver no matter what happens in front of her.

But her most distinct feature is the huge hammer attached to her back. The hammer was so huge it took a good chunk of space from the room.

But, somehow, she carried that 15-ton hammer as if it was nothing.

"Oh, Kin. You finished the mission?" Lein asked.

The girl named Kin nodded quietly and sat on the chair casually.

"Where have we been? Oh, right. Let me show you around the place until everyone is here and then when the last one comes back we will introduce you to them."

The two then entered another door at the back side of the bar. There, a new huge place was somehow built.

It was like a big hall the size of a castle.

"Welcome to our mansion. This is the place where all members live their daily life. We have everything needed for a luxurious stay. Saunas, pools, and even an underground training capsule. You know how hard it is to find that shit?"

Acht didn't answer as he stared around disinterestedly.

"Ehem. Anyway, let me show you your room." He said.

Then, they walked upstairs to another floor and went to a room slightly far away in the corner.

"This is your room from now on. I chose it myself. You can leave your luggage there and then come back to the bar."

The man then turned around and walked back down.

Acht didn't dwindle much and walked inside. It was a neat room that wasn't too big or too small.

He then sat down on the bed with a loud sigh. He felt exhausted and wanted to sleep but he wasn't in the mood to do so. His mind was in chaos and he felt himself being tense all the time.

'I need to calm down and deal with things as I always did. It's not the first time I had to deal with stupid shit nor will it be the last.'

He then laid down for a few minutes to calm down and organize his thoughts before he stood up again and left the room to go back to the bar.

When he reached the door, he stopped his hand a few centimeters away from the handle as his body moved away from the door and hid his presence to listen quietly.

"What the hell, boss? Why would you want a small, useless brat to join our team?"

He heard the sound of a man talking to Lenny in a loud tone. He seemed to be the last member of Nightingale.

"Stop it, Welz. You are talking to the boss so be fucking respectful." Another member interrupted.

However, Welz didn't stop.

"No, Jack. I don't know why a fucking unknown boy is joining us. He could even be a fucking spy."

"The boss chose him so he can't be a spy."

"That's why I am questioning the boss's choice!" He said as he hit the table loudly.

Then, as if a huge boulder was put on top of everyone's shoulder.

"Welz, why don't you meet him first, and then you will know the reason why I chose him?" Lenny said with the calmest voice.

Acht took a deep breath and then walked inside calmly. He didn't want to show any kind of reaction so as to not make them feel suspicious.

He immediately looked at Welz who somehow seemed to be even more pissed than he already was.

But, Acht didn't care much about him and just walked to the table casually.

"One orange juice, please." He said to the old man behind the bar.

"Right up."

Lenny then spoke again.

"Now that we are all here, let me introduce him. This boy is named Acht and he's a Gravity element user."

A bombshell was dropped like it was nothing from Lenny. Everyone stared widely at Acht who didn't care and just sipped his orange juice.

'Stop staring too much, fuckers.'

The first one to react was Jack who looked at Lenny like a broken doll and asked.

"Boss, are you sure? We are talking about a legendary lost element here? This boy has it?"

"I also didn't believe it at first but it is the truth. He is a truly monstrous talent."
