Chapter 103: Dark beasts
Alex stepped out of the white space in a quiet corner before ending the void walk skill. The streets were well lit in the commercial district due to the many street lamps along the roadside and people could be seen enjoying the nightlife of the city.
No one seemed to notice Alex’s appearance; he quietly made his way toward the tall building in the distance, which was the Union building.
He reached it after a few seconds and entered. Alex was a bit surprised to see that many people were still on the down floor of the building, but he didn’t show it out as he silently approached the counter.
"Mr Chen? You came so late today."
Before he could reach the counter, a voice called out from the side. Alex felt that that voice sounded familiar, he turned his head to look and saw sub-elder Lance smiling at him. The man was in a long purple coat and holding another strange item in one of his hands.
"Do you have any business here today? I can attend to you." Lance initiated. He wasn’t offended by Mr Chen’s lack of response.
Aside from Mr Chen very much being a very powerful mage, Lance had so much respect for him after finding out that Mr Chen might be a master appraiser.
"Hmm, is the branch leader around? I need to speak with him." Alex asked in a hoarse voice.
Lance had a confused expression on his face when he heard this, he glanced around before asking Mr Chen to follow him.
Both of them made their way toward the elevator. Along the way, Lance informed Alex that the branch leader had gone to the Union Core, which was located at the capital and was yet to return.
"Is the matter very serious? All of the elders and sub-elders are present; we can assist Mr Chen on behalf of the branch leader." Lance said with a serious face.
