Chapter 128: Chapter 128 Escape.

After the talk that seemed to have happened for so long, the transaction finally ended while Soma currently signed a contract with Lawrence and then shook their hands together as the roof of their agreement.

Soma put everything inside his storage ring except the globe. He threw it to Malik, which he received while raising a complaint.

"What the hell, kid!?".

"I am sorry. But I will need your help after this".

Seeing the seriousness in Soma's eyes made Malik's annoyance fade, replaced with a dumbfounded attitude. Malik started to inspect the unknown relic because he didn't know how to operate them.

Lawrence, who saw their interaction, realized that they were in a rush for something. Also, the fact that Soma just tosses the relic into Malik's hands and talks as if he knows how to operate it. Her curiosity was piqued once more, but she didn't want to probe anymore than this, afraid that Soma would turn hostile at her. So she held back her tongue and let them leave the place.

Soma, who finished with his business, stood up, followed by Hiroshi and Malik, then turned their back, walking toward the closed door.

Upon arriving before the door, Lawrence stood from her seat and offered her gratitude to the participant in the auction she held.

"Once again, I want to thank you for participating in the auction my family held".

"Yes, it is my pleasure".

"Pleasure is also mine, Miss Lawrence".

"...I will take my leave here".

Malik, Hiroshi, and Soma each give their replies. Soma pushed the door outside and found the armed guard had long gone, leaving only the male who had led them to this place earlier.

"It seems your business is finished with My lady. Then, please follow me because I will escort you to the parking lot".

"...Please do".

Soma, who stood in front, offered his consent, which replied with a slight smile from the man. Then, they began to leave the room where Lawrence stood alone, looking at their retreating back.

After seeing the group vanish from her sight, she retreated back toward her desk before she flopped her tired body toward the work chair that embraced her from behind with its softness. Lawrence slid one of the drawers onto the desk, took her phone, and started to dial her secretary's number.

{Good evening, My lady. How can I help you?}

"Violet, where are you right now?".

{I am upstairs, just finished with the aftermath. Is there anything that you need?}

"I want you to follow the person they are currently with, Nathan. Follow them until they leave the central district. Make sure you don't get noticed".

{Understood}

Lawrence separated her ear from the phone. She tapped the red button on the phone display, cutting the call. She leaned her body to the chair while sighing.

"I am curious as to why they are in a rush to leave?".

There are still many things she wanted to ask, but it seems Soma still holds up his guard around her.

"What an amusing kid. He even refused to answer my earlier question. Fufu, well. With the way things are. I am sure the truth will be revealed".

Soma and His co. are being escorted from the office as they are currently in the other basement where Malik's car was parked.

They are currently being accompanied by two employees who worked in this place. The man who accompanied them from the start and another employee, an attractive woman with purple hair and a cold expression, accompanied them until they eventually reached the parking lot.

They start to observe their surroundings to search for the car's presence. The parking lot has pretty big land, but the place looks deserted, with only a couple of cars parked in it.

Then, in the corner of the basement beside a thick pillar. A black Humvee stood alone, awaiting his owner to pick him up. On the pillar, there is a metal box with a terminal hub.

"... Please wait for a minute".

The woman, with her cold voice, spoke. She approached the box before putting the passwords the manor had prepared. As the box opened inside, it revealed many stands for car keys, and there were only four of them left, for the place also looked deserted.

"Sir, which one is your Key?".

Malik approached the box. He soon found the car key he had held dear all this time.

"This is mine".

"Thank you for your participation".

The woman bent her body ninety degrees, followed by the man behind her. Soma's group turned their back and fled the scene.

"...Excuse me".

"Have a Good night, sir".

"Thank you".

Hiroshi replied to the man's sincere words with his usual calm face.

After seeing the employee of the venue leave the place. Soma starts to connect his thoughts with his storage ring and takes out a mana core from a Valiant wolf that he still hasn't used yet.

"Mr. Malik here".

Soma took out a Valiant Wolf mana core, which shone in Blue. Then, he tossed it toward Malik, and he caught it in his hands.

"What is this?".

Malik, who suddenly gave a mana core, tilted his head because he didn't understand what Soma intended to do with it.

"Mr. Malik. Can you alter the Mana core trait, demolishing it into molecular substance and then infusing it into the Relics?".

Soma starts to act oblivious about the skill Maalik has in his possession. The truth is he already knows to some extent if the Author didn't change it, of course.

"Huh?! What are you…?".

"Please hurry up and do that, Mr. Malik. Mr. Hiroshi, you can drive this car, right?".

Malik, who still absentmindedly looked toward Soma, trying to ask how he could know his ability, but got cut off as Soma rushed the two adults to do their things.

"Well, yeah, I have some experience driving it".

"Good then".

Soma, who stood beside Malik, snatched the car key from his hand and gave it to Hiroshi, who absentmindedly received it.

"Oi, Kid, what is the meaning of this?".

"There is no time. Let's get out of here and start the process, Mr. Malik, because that thing in your hand can save us in our current situation".

Malik and Hiroshi, who heard of what Soma had told them, stiffened their bodies. A sudden truth struck them from heaven as they recalled there were two demons that were still lurking in the surroundings, trying to ambush them at any chance they had.

The two adults exchanged gazes before they nodded in agreement. Hiroshi, who held the key, rushed toward the car. He activated the car using the switch on the key, and it opened the locked function in the door that let Soma and Malik enter.

Hiroshi sat in the driver's seat, and then he started to start the car. As for Malik, he began to inspect the two items before working on them.

Soma saw the two adults in play. He put the seatbelt on first before thinking of wanting to show the earlier translucent window. seaʀᴄh thё Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

[Do you want to get rid of the curse?]

[Yes or No]

"Yes".

[The mark curse in your body has been removed]

[Curse resistance skill proficiency level up]

After receiving the notification, the skill level went up. Soma's heart leaps, but there is no continuation of the notification, and the skill doesn't level up further to level Six, making him sigh in disappointment.

"Everyone's ready".

Hiroshi looked back and saw Malik with knitted brows, observing the items in his own world, concentrating on connecting the two items. So, Soma is the one who replied.

"Yes, we are".

"Let's leave this place".

Hiroshi started to step on the gas pedal, accelerating inside the vast space, leaving it, and began to pray that they could escape the place easily.
