Chapter 54: Soul Tether
Coop stepped inside the plush lounge. It had an elegant carpet and plenty of open space with a central square bar area. A massive skylight above the bartender’s area lit the spacious room. Only a few well-geared guards were present, relaxing on a black leather couch with a low glass table between them. Coop started to walk toward them, but one of them shook his head and pointed even further to an area with a sign that stated VIP’s only. Coop snorted at the pretentiousness.
When he walked in, the door slid shut behind him and a young guy stood from a stool in the center of the room next to yet another private bar. This room had blood red carpet and bright red bench style seating against the black walls. It was certainly fancy, but Coop found it garish.
He hadn’t ever been given first-class treatment at an airport, and hadn’t really understood what amenities were provided. This place was like the private area of a clean, too well-lit nightclub.
The man snapped his fingers and pointed at Coop with a finger gun, “You’re the guy?” Coop inspected him.
[Human (Level 29)]
[Mindflayer (Mind)]
Coop was surprised at how little he was able to detect from the man’s aura. Coop was a much higher level, and surely had a significant advantage in his Mind stat, but it seemed like the Mindflayer class provided him with enough bonuses to hide most of his information. Coop was impressed and wondered if this guy could see Coop’s level.
What was also surprising was the second aura lingering in the corner, behind the bar. Coop subtly checked it out.
