Chapter 93: Advent of the Pages 10
The transmitter looked somewhat terrified before Noelle, small beads of sweat forming on his forehead while his white aura fluctuated. Raiden was confused by what was happening and decided to approach them; however, before he could get any closer, Noelle turned to him.
"He will be taking us." Her dark violet eyes stared at him bluntly, the aether cigarette resting between her lips.
Raiden gave her a lazy look. "Sure..."
The transmitter gestured for them to follow him to an alley by the gothic building. Noelle followed immediately, and so did Raiden. The alley led them to a back door of the gothic building, where there was a massive wooden door that the transmitter knocked on gently three times.
The door opened to a small room where a red-haired man in red clothing, glowing with a yellow aura, sat on a brown leather couch behind a small polished wooden table. Near a warm amber lamp, he showed his golden teeth in a grin as two individuals in black cloaks, like their guide’s, welcomed them in.
The moment they entered, the room felt historic despite the young man’s golden teeth. There were paintings similar to ones Raiden had seen in the palace hanging on the walls, but what drew his attention was the ceiling.
It glowed blue like the ocean, as beautiful as the coast in Coast City, with swirling patterns—possibly symbolic constellations and arcane symbols—glowing in green and gold. Though it looked somewhat like the world’s map, it was different.
"What brought you here, lads?" The man asked as he settled back on the sofa.
"Where can we find the twenty-eight pages?" Noelle blurted, and the man immediately started laughing.
Raiden shook his head in disappointment and began massaging his forehead. From the man’s expression and appearance, this wasn’t information he was going to give out just because they asked. He was clearly a businessman.
"You walked in here to ask such a ridiculous question?" The man shook his head. "Don’t you kids have anything better to do?"
Raiden cleared his throat, took a few deliberate steps forward, and positioned himself just above Noelle, drawing everyone’s focus to him.
