A few minutes later.
''Number 66.''
"Here."
Dante, who had been momentarily waiting in the waiting room, got up after hearing his number being called.
"What is your name and this is your first time registering?" The receptionist asked with a business-like vibe while filing in documents as if he was a machine.
''Dante Orion White, it's my first time registering and I come with a letter of recommendation.'' He handed over the letter of recommendation gotten from Cecilia.
The male receptionist was about to scope as this slightly handsome young man with unusual eyes was trying use to get in through the back door, but all apprehension the man had vanished after seeing the seal on the letter.
''Eh?"
It was the seal belonging to someone working directly under that person.
''Lady Lemegoton's seal.''
The employee gives Dante a secondary glance and then shot to his feet.
"P-Please wait for a moment!!" He turned his body in a hurry and ran out somewhere.
Murmur—!
Everyone nearby shot a glance.
"Tch!"
Dante clicked his tongue with a short chuckle.
Although it was the expected reaction, he couldn't help but chuckle when he saw it.
[Information search on Lady Lemegoton.
Ding! She seemed to be close to the eighth Archangel, the Fallen one Lucifer.
Error! Low-level privilege, unable to access more data.]
Nemesis's voice rang out in his mind and he asked her to stop the search.
''Stop the search for now.''
She did as she was told but remarked.
[Master, the reason why you did not hand over the letter discreetly is that you desired this outcome right? You're using them as a shield.]
''Exactly, it will be foolish of me not to do it. I can't hide my identity nor I wished to do it for now. When you have some privileges you better use them or else what's the reason you get them for?"
There are pros and cons in every decision taken, in the current case revealing that he was someone with a connection with one of the strongest in a world where everyone would go crazy over being affiliated with them meant troubles.
If you thought about the countless nuisances that would follow, you might be tempted to live like a loser while hiding strength.
'That's just dumb and it does not suit my personality.'
Prestige was authority.
The foundation he had possessed was too lacking to give up the enormous authority that came with being affiliated with them.
Aside from the simple problem of money, he could gain connections, information, and a host of other small things.
Thinking about the things he had to do in the future, they weren't just one or two things he needed.
'And, to solve that…'
Authority.
He needed the title of being someone with a special connection with them so that nobody could dare disregard him. Like his system analyzed, he would be using them as a shield, not making use of the tools at his disposition
"Sorry for the wait. It'll take a bit of time, so could you please wait over here?" The employee who had run off came back and asked respectfully.
The machine and business-like appearance that the man had displayed at the start could not be seen.
'That's right. This is the power of authority.
Dante nodded his head while smirking.
"Please follow me."
The employee led the way.
"He is a big shot.''
"Big shot my ass, he is just someone lucky, someone, born with a golden spoon.''
Although Dante felt the gazes from the murmuring onlookers, he lightly brushed them off. He got no time for meaningless things.
"You can wait inside here."
The place the employee had guided him to was a waiting room that had the words 'VIP' written on the door.
At the same time in another room, someone is receiving the same treatment as Dante, she had also brought a letter of recommendation. This person was none than the silver-haired beauty, Ceres was standing behind her in silence, silence which was broken when she raised this question.
''Lady Lilith, is that a smart move to fake Lady Lemegoton's seal?"
The silver-haired beauty whose name is Lilith grinned upon hearing Ceres's question, she couldn't help but feel a little amused as the corners of her mouth perked up.
''Of course not but I'm just letting her know my whereabouts and at the same time sending a warning to not mess too much with the thing I've taken interest in,'' Lilith explained with a sweet smile but her eyes weren't laughing because she was serious.
Ceres felt like sighing, she just hoped that Lady Lemegoton wouldn't be provoked, or else it wouldn't be good.
''Relax, let's get our Hunter's license, go in dungeons, increase our strength and build a to- Ops! I mean guild.'' Lilith said to Ceres frowning.
The latter finally unable to hold back her sigh heaved a sigh.
"Your wish is my command, Lady Lilith.''
°°°°°°
Meanwhile, in another location, Lucifer's tower, Lemegoton who was dressed in a secretary suit and was signing some documents got the news that Lilith was in Sunset city.
''This little bitch is planning something. Okay, I won't mess with you for now.'' Lemegoton decided, not that she had time to play games with Lilith, the rebellious child.
The others have started to act after noticing Lucifer's move, it is time to put forward some countermeasures, at least until the tree grew a little bit to survive storms.
