155 Into the belly of the beast (I)
Simon continued his days as expected, not giving any thought to his cultivation. Meanwhile, his bodyguard did what he was supposed to do, training and waiting for his master’s command.
Only two days after their arrival, Simon finally received further instructions and how he and his bodyguard should proceed. The duo gathered in the lobby, and both wore strange helmets that seemed to hide their identities.
Simon might not be that smartest, but he knew that the meeting would involve not just the mysterious organization but also others like him that were working for it.
The mysterious organization was extremely powerful, and Simon knew he had already sold their soul to them. Still, he did not want others to know his identity since that could prove dangerous. After all, if his family were to find out about his betrayal, they would kill him on the spot.
Simon and Loras got into the elevator as instructed, but before they could touch one of the buttons, it began to move on its own and dashed down with a speed that even a Level 4 Wave Warrior would find shocking.
It stopped after a few seconds, but Simon was sure they were hundreds of meters underground. Even with the current technological advancements of the Godslayer Humankind, building an underground city was a logistical nightmare, so Simon did not expect much.
However, a sense of absolute shock assaulted Simon once the elevator doors opened. As the son of a Count, he had seen a lot throughout his life, but that sight was incredible.
It was a city, not any smaller than the one owned and controlled by the Samar Family. Despite being deep underground, natural light came from the ceiling, and the buildings were hundreds of meters tall.
The one thing in which this city could be considered different from those above ground was that it had very few people living in it. That made sense, considering that this place belonged to the mysterious organization, and there was no way they would just let anyone live in it.
.....
“My father is a Peak Wave Champion, and my great-grandfather became a Major in the Imperial Military Force thanks to his impressive feats against the Dark Races. It took all their effort, blood, and wealth to build our home, yet the mysterious organization did something even more impressive.”
