I looked at the System panel while I was waiting for James to come here to Albert's den.

I thought to myself "So many skills, I guess the daily tasks did come in handy and there are some skills that I didn't even look at.

Energy manipulation arts? Might as well learn it while waiting for James, I said in a low voice, Learn Energy manipulation arts.

Suddenly, I felt a large amount of information enter my mind, it felt painful but just for a moment. The Energy Manipulation art is amazing, it manipulates similar energies and also gives us the ability to share and take energy from different objects as well as humans.

As I was going through the arts, James suddenly broke through the door and entered the room.

He was sweating and his face was pale to the point where I felt he would just collapse at any time.

James was scanning the room and his eyes landed on me, and he knelt on the spot.

James said while kneeling " I apologize for the massive inconvenience please accept this as a token of my apology"

James waved his hand and a servant from behind brought a luxurious hand-held box.

I opened the box and found a check for a hundred thousand dollars!

A Hundred Thousand dollars so much for a simple apology.

I looked at James and asked him "Did I ask for an apology? do you think that you can buy everything with money?"

Suddenly James regretted his actions and started to sweat. I took the check and tore it in front of James which made him tremble even harder.

I said after tearing the check "Now then let's get to the main topic, yesterday this assassin was hired by someone to follow me and potentially kill me. Since you are here I want the name of the person who hired her and why did he or she hire her?"

James said "Actually we can't disclose the name of the person who hires anyone for Last Wish"

I narrowed my eyes and said, "Then it seems that I was wasting my time here waiting for you."

I got up and was about to exit the room when James suddenly called out and said " Wait Sir I have a preposition if you would like"

I stopped and said "Speak "

James then explained, " Due to extreme security measures we don't disclose the information of the customer but if you become a core member of the Last Wish organization, you will have full access to all information about the missions that are posted in the Last Wish organization."

"Ohh so now you suggesting I become a part of an illegal organization that takes assassination missions. You must be out of your mind James Carter."

I said deeply "If you can't give me what I want then the meeting ends here and yeah the assassin stays she's mine now."

I realized that I said something inappropriate so I turned around to clarify and saw the assassin blushing and James seemingly smiling over my sentence thinking of a way to gain my favour.

I quickly realized that saying something more will escalate the situation so I just left the room. Going through the den I saw something that amazed me, the whole den was messed up and the walls were worn out and cracks were all over the den.

I looked at Albert and was about to apologize when he said "Don't worry master it will be fixed in no time"

I just nodded and exited the already empty den.

As I was going with Albert my stomach started grumbling, I was so embarrassed that I wanted to crawl into a hole.

Albert laughingly said," Master Danial where do you want to eat?"

"Now that you said that let's go to the Golden Leaf hotel."

"The Golden leaf! master that place is high profile and it takes weeks to secure a single reservation out there."

"Don't worry about that I will handle that"

The Golden leaf hotel is a 6-star hotel, the name itself speaks about its reputation in the Southerland District.

The first time I entered the hotel was when Harvey organized the meetup party.

Once I entered I said to the receptionist "A table for 2 please "

The receptionist replied politely "Do you have a reservation ."

I answered the receptionist "No but I do have this" as I handed the receptionist the Supreme VIP card of the Golden Leaf Hotel. The receptionist frowned and started inspecting the card, after a while, the receptionist put the card down and said "I see you faked a card ."

I frowned and said, " This is a legitimate card handed to me what are you talking about?"

The receptionist glared at me and said called security.

I had curious look on my face and thought "When would happen if I told her I am the Owner of this hotel."

Security came and the receptionist said "Throw these bastards out and make sure to beat them up" and she threw the card at me.

The security rushed at me with their batons and as they were about to hit, a sharp and sweet voice sounded

"What the hell is going on? "

The receptionist immediately went to the manager and said pointing at me " Madam Pearl this man forged a Supreme VIP card and tried to use the hotel to his benefit so I called security and was about to kick him out "

The manager had a puzzled look so she came up to me and said " Can I see the Supreme VIP card, sir "

I nodded and handed her the card and she started inspecting the card.

I saw her when the realization hit her and she suddenly bowed in front of the people and said "I am so sorry Masted I apologize for the unwanted attention"

The receptionist had a look of horror and I kinda liked it. The manager went to the receptionist and slapped her on the face and said "Apologies right now "

The receptionist was furious but she couldn't show it so she obediently bowed.

I waved my hand and said "It's okay she was doing her job but I suggest that everyone in the hotel should be well informed about VIP guests so that this would never happen"

The manager nodded vigorously and said "Please Master follow me to your suite"

I happily obliged and followed her we went to the 11th floor which was the most luxurious floor of the hotel.

The private room had its own pool and personal bar as well as other recreational activities.

The managed brought us to the room and said "Please wait here while we prepare your meal."

I entered the room and in front of me sat Albert. I started asking him questions about his life and more on the topics of organizations that are a part of the underground world.
