Chapter 130: Laura's Business



***

During the many months that Emir spent training, Lyra used that time to go ruin diving and gather all the relics she could find.

She re-registered as a hunter with the same face she used when meeting with Kiera's gang while also using the same name, Amanda.

The reason why she chose Amanda is simply that the original Amanda was one of the many that went missing.

After hacking their database, she pulled all the information regarding Amanda and simply took over her life... As she is quite a capable AI.

Armed with the relics she had acquired from the many undiscovered ruins she knew of, she entrusted them to Laura.

Who, with her newfound connections, initiated their sale, while Lyra discreetly assisted from behind the scenes.

But Laura couldn't continue selling them batch by batch, as the relics continued to pile up dust in their house, since it took longer and longer for each transaction.

Driven by this, and Lyra's relentless advice and Emir's reminder, she finally decided to establish a new company dedicated to the sale of relics, catering to a diverse clientele.

Her customers ranged from individual hunters to corporations, the big eight themselves, and even the UEF, they too sought any relic that could advance their understanding of the old- world's technology.

Starting a company couldn't have been easy, one obvious and major issue was money, but that was easily solved as time passed, with their profits increasing by the day.

The other issue is the already competitive environment in the relic market.

While Lyra had many hunters come after her due to the constant relics she brought home, as a celestial, those hunters didn't give her any problems, and she killed them quite easily, which further caused more rumors to spread about their company.

The rumors varied widely, spanning from tales of a newbie stumbling upon a fresh site within a well-known ruin to the outlandish, such as a renowned relic merchant, or even an Elite supposedly orchestrating a situation where Lyra was used as bait, leading to rival merchants being charged in court for alleged illegal activities.

...

The air in the room was filled with anticipation as three beautiful women sat on the couch, their eyes fixed on the holoscreen.

The three Ls, Laura, Lily, and Lyra.

They watched as the newscaster finished his briefing on the situation regarding them.

"With that history in mind, Prince Emporium has become quite a big deal now, prompting even one of the Elite to involve themselves as things got way out of control... So without further ado, and needing no introduction, welcome Lord Auric of the Gold Leaf family."

Loud applause reverberated through the studio as a well-groomed man with slick blonde hair and a tailored suit made his entrance.

Every step he took exuded grace and poise, commanding attention from all.

excitement:

"Lyra, did he say when he was coming back? It's been so long."

Letting out a chuckle, she answered:

"Don't worry, sweetie, I made sure the message reached him. Although I don't yet know when

he will be coming back, trust that nothing bad happened to him."

With the same enthusiasm, Lily continued as she asked another question:

"Did he say what rank he reached?"

Lyra's lips went wide as she said:

"I didn't talk to him directly, as my connection's range is only on the sol's domain, but from what I heard from Silent, Emir reached the subrank of Paladin while also discovering another

Aspect at the same time."

Lily's face showed surprise.

"Another one? That makes it three... But how come I have only one? This is so unfair!"

"I've explained this before, you really need to listen when I teach you. Look at your mother, she already knows the answer." She replied, pointing at her mother.

Laura chuckled.

"Dear, neither you nor I have gone through mutation unlocking, while I can't do it... Ever, you might've had the chance, after all, you're Oliver's daughter, as Emir is his son, but it's too late now, we can only use those Aether cores Lyra bought for us." Nodding her head, Lily smiled at her mother, not disheartened in the least.

She never wanted to be as strong as her brother, she knew that being a celestial was enough

for her.

And although she would become stronger by ranking up, that was not what she had in mind when Lyra told them about this, she only wanted to be there with her family longer.

With her brother... She simply couldn't imagine what would happen to him the day both she

and her mother withered away.

Looking back to Lyra, Lily exclaimed:

"You still didn't tell me what Emir has as his third aspect!"

"Oh, yes, I didn't mention that, did I? His Aspect is-"
