Chapter 700
Ember gets up from his seat and walks out of the private room's massive doors to be greeted by Randel and Syl.
"You've completed your assessment of the documents we had transferred over already?" Syl comments.
Ember shakes his head and begins walking down the narrow hall to make his way back to the main shopping center.
"No, not yet. There seem to be some unique guests selling worlds down on the first floor. I believe they're going to cause some trouble. I'd like to be there when it happens."
The two Red Ogres look at each other with confused expressions but follow the long-haired human they've been tasked to protect into the main hall and down into the transport elevator to bring them to ground level.
Once the door clicks open and the three walk out, with the Ogres ahead first, the tense atmosphere in the room is very apparent. The lack of active shoppers points the two bodyguards' heads to the left.
Two 9-meter-tall 1st Class Demon Lords exude an ominous pressure, standing with their arms crossed and white eyes locked on a moving status screen, while one of the 2nd Class Red Ogres below them diligently scrolls through the worlds they've provided, giving quotes for how much Ether they can purchase them for outright, one by one.
The sweating Red Ogre looks up from his status and stutters to the Demon before him with a single purple horn jutting from his forehead.
"Myron Vermillion, your excellence. I... I can't agree with this pricing. It's double the market's price."
