<Green Valley City>
<Region 1>
One mansion stood tall in the fading light of dusk, its elegant structure casting long shadows over the gardens.
A mysterious figure approached, dressed in a black jacket with swirling patterns of white lightning on the side, and a black helmet that hid his face.
Despite his suspicious appearance, the guards at the entrance barely glanced at him before stepping aside. They were all expecting this person to come here.
Not only that, but the security guards had been strictly instructed not to speak to him or ask any kind of questions, emphasizing just how important this person was.
In front of the mysterious man was the paved private road to the villa.
The mansion symbolized timeless beauty, with a blend of Mediterranean and modern styles.
Its soft pastel walls glowed warmly at twilight.
A curved driveway led to the main entrance, surrounded by well-kept gardens and tall palm trees.
As he approached, gentle lights highlighted the mansion's details.
The front doors were wooden with intricate carvings and iron accents. Above them, arched windows hinted at the elegance inside.
To the left of the entrance, a three-car garage was partly hidden by vines, adding privacy. Its dark wood doors matched the main entrance.
The second floor featured balconies with wrought iron railings, ideal for taking in the views.
While this place was smaller than other mansions in Green Valley, this one commanded a higher price .
Its location in the first region alone increased its cost by 50 times compared to other properties in the other region because of the limited space
Inside, the mansion was filled with luxury. Soft, warm lights shone on shiny marble floors with intricate patterns.
The air smelled like polished wood and fresh flowers, and soft classical music could be heard from afar.
As Quill walked further into the mansion, his footsteps echoed softly on the tiled floors.
"Welcome, Mr. Quill Flazer," greeted a distinguished middle-aged man as he came down the stairs.
Jones felt a slight insult but chose not to dwell on it .
Expecting someone like Quill to respect his elders was out of the question .
After all, the young man in front of him was infamous for being the genius black sheep of the Flazer Family.
He was so uncontrollable that he remained an unranked hunter, despite proving to everyone that he was a one in a billion talent, just because he refused to work for the Hunter Association.
"So, regarding your question," Jones's shifted the topic. "Yes, those legendary Rune does exist," he declared.
"Are you sure?" Quill asked, his tone filled with doubt.
Runes were divided into four categories: Common, Rare, Advanced, and Mastered.
The God's Rune was like a myth even in the long history of hunters. Though mentioned in ancient texts, no one had ever actually found it, making its existence questionable .
"Of course, I'm sure. And I know you believe it too, Mr. Quill," Jones responded, with a knowing look in his eyes. "That's why, even now, you haven't integrated with any rune yet, correct?"
Quill paused for a moment, momentarily shocked by Jones's accurate guess.
"How did you know that?" he replied, his tone turning serious. The secret of his runeless status had been carefully concealed by his family for years.
Due to his exceptional strength, everyone assumed he had already integrated with a rune.
Why wouldn't they?
He would be more like a monster than a human if that was not case .
But the truth was, he had deliberately handicapped himself by not integrating with a rune.
With his skill and talent, he could potentially become the youngest Hunter to reach the Peak Demon Lord Level of power if he integrated with a Mastered Rune.
However, his aspirations were much higher . He aimed not just to achieve the Demon King Level of power but to surpass it, ultimately reaching for the realm of the Demon God level.
And it was not an impossible dream for him; Quill indeed possessed the talent to break through.
"I have my sources, but honestly, I'm quite amazed at how you've achieved this level of power relying solely on your talent. Your genetics is too exceptional," Jones remarked, impressed.
"Perks of being the main character," Quill joked, attempting to conceal his earlier shock by using his sense of humor.
Since Jones already knew his secret, there was no point in denying it. Experience more content on m v|l e'-novelhall.net
