Chapter 72 72 – Old Woman

While Kai was talking to Amber and Ibaraki in his restaurant and the old men argued near the pond as they fished, the main office of the Slayer Organization descended on a commotion.

"Bring this document to the Director already!"

"Hey! Be careful with that!"

"Send someone to investigate quickly! We have no time to stay like this!"

Among the commotion of Slayers who worked for the organization, Griffin walked toward the elevator while letting out a tired sigh.

He was called by the Director, Katarina, and was asked to visit her on the top floor. His hands were in his coat's pocket as he grumbled under his breath.

"Damn it. I had a date in 3 hours with Tiffany. Why did she call me on my day off? I worked really hard already."

The elevator door opened with a ding, and he stepped inside. His coat ruffled in the air as he turned around, ruffling his short brown hair with his right hand.

It went up quickly as it created a low ding sound each time the number on the small screen installed above the door changed.

A different ding was heard not long after, and the door was opened again. It hadn't reached the top floor yet, so Griffin looked up to see who had stopped the elevator.

"Oh?"

A soft feminine voice exclaimed as the owner stepped inside the elevator. A woman with bright purple hair stood before him, wearing the Slayer's coat and sexy clothes composed of a white shirts and black shorts, exposing her deep cleavage and smooth thighs.

When he saw her, his expression soured. She was the last person he wanted to see today, especially not after the sudden call ruined his date.

Best

"You're also going up, Griffin?"

"Yeah." His answer was short and on point. "The Director also called you?"

"Yup~" The woman smiled while pushing her round glasses with her middle finger. "Katarina said she needed my help, so here I am~"

"Damn." He let out another curse under his breath. His voice was low, so the woman in front of him could not hear him.

'Why did the Director call her too?'

There were only a few occasions where the woman was called. Even if she looked like she was in her mid-twenty, the woman in front of him was way too old compared to her appearance.

Her gray eyes were a sign of her old age. People with a lot of power and Spirit Power would age slower. By controlling their Spirit Power skillfully and using a certain technique, it was possible for people to keep their young appearance.

However, only a few people could do that. Many people chose not to use the technique because there was a severe side-effect for a fighter.

'This granny can't even use half of her strength because of the technique she used to keep herself young, but her reserve is still bigger than the Director and I combined. What a monster.'

Yes. The side-effect was the user unable to use half of their strength and Spirit Power.

Unlike the Director, who only aged slower and made her unable to use some of her Spirit Power, the woman in front of Griffin completely stopped her aging.

"Do you have any idea why she called me to her office, Griffin? My disciple didn't say anything at all."

Griffin shook his head. "Unfortunately, no. If even you, the one they call Dragon and one of the four legends in the Slayer Organization, didn't know about it, then what is the chance of me knowing about it?"

"Figures. You're so useless, Griffin."

"Ugh…" The man couldn't help but grunt from being called useless.

If he said anything to counter her, then she would resort to something even more ridiculous.

'As I thought, Director Katarina really hated me. If not, she will not call me here.' He thought as he let out a tired sigh.

The woman with the codename Dragon smirked at Griffin and glanced at him, "Also, how is that one brat? Is he doing well?"

"That brat?" Griffin asked, confused. He was unable to understand whose brat the older woman referred to.

"You know him. Marcus' grandson." Dragon raised her finger with a bemused look. "He's finally got involved with this world. Hah! That lousy man. Deciding to keep the brat hidden after he meets that thing. I never thought he was such a coward."

She kept grumbling to herself while clicking her tongue, much to Griffin's distress. He looked at her talking about how coward Marcus was and about her past, where she managed to stop a Supernatural Disaster Tear by herself.

Griffin was tired of her story and decided not to listen. Why, though? Because she sometimes spilled secret information!

Just because she loved to share her story, she forgot about the boundary and spilled important information, such as the hidden barrier that covered New York City to keep ghosts and demons out of the city.

For that reason, he would always be asked by Katarina to settle things related to secret things in New York City. Of course, that included meeting Kai, suspected of being the Ruler since the start.

'It's all this granny's fault, to begin with!' He wanted to shout, but he kept silent.

"So, how is he?"

Finally, Dragon stopped telling her story and asked once again. This time with a rather serious face.

"Is he a good boy? And is he happy?"

Griffin was curious why she asked whether the brat was happy or not. But from the story he had heard earlier, apparently, Marcus was the name of Kai's grandfather. So the brat she referred to was him.

"He's okay. He's not arrogant and looks rather interested in the Supernatural World."

Dragon beamed as she crossed her arms, repeatedly nodding with a knowing look. "I see, I see! As expected! That Marcus really made the wrong decision. If only he trained the brat instead of keeping him out of Supernatural World, that brat would be able to watch himself long before this."

A ding sound rang once again, and the elevator stopped at the highest floor.

The woman turned around and lowered her arms.

"Well, we've arrived. C'mon, Griffin. Let's hear what my disciple said and settle this quickly. Chop chop." She walked out the elevator and went down the corridor.

Looking at Dragon's back and her swaying purple hair, Griffin sighed once again as he followed her from behind.

'I hope I won't be given any troublesome task.' He thought as he sighed again. "I want to have a date…"
