* Warrior gazing at the insides of a gate is fond of your bravery and warns you that keeping on going with your joke will lead to your death*
' Oh, since when was getting constellation's attention as easy as entering the business titan organization,' Jhin thought with a bit of caution.' Or maybe because they think I have enough courage to dare and prank the business titan?'
' Funnily enough, this is the first time in this body that a constellation directly speaks to me. Well anyway.' Jhin pushed those thoughts to the back of his mind and focused on his current situation.
* Warrior gazing at the insides of a gate is surprised by how cold your reaction was after having your first message from a constellation*
* Warrior gazing at the insides of a gate tells you that if you ever wish to become a hunter all you have to do is get out of this situation unscratched without apologizing*
' Isn't this entertaining, even though I do not need such measly help I can still take an ability out of him.' He mused as he replied with a faint nod.
* Warrior gazing at the insides of a gate is glad that you accepted his challenge and promises you of a good ability upon completion*
Shortly after the constellation stopped talking, Jhin showcased a gold-colored card to Arnold.
" You can at least spare a few minutes of your time to inform the director of this branch after showing you this right?"
Taking a look at the golden card the man had just taken out, Arnold didn't bother to waste ay more time and immediately went to the stairs to go up and inform his boss.
Sigh!
Jhin sighed in boredom as he destroyed the golden card in his right hand and threw it in a nearby trash can,' Well I was gonna use a bit of force. Still, since a constellation is already watching over me I rather show my family's organization card and not bother with this.'
If witnessing this scene, many people would conclude that this kid was none other than another wealthy inheritor of a conglomerate who came here to buy a few things with his father's money.
Yet, none would believe that the same kid everyone would think of as a rich inheritor is in fact quite poor and the card his family's organization gave him was merely for outside appearances in events and especially raids on gates.
Not bothering with that measly card that he didn't need in this timeline, Jhin marveled his eyes over the insides of the business organization titans that only a handful of buildings out there come close to.
It was a grand plaza lined with stone steles and statues. Each stele and statue was upwards of a thousand meters in height, and they radiated a Divine Might as strong as that of Constellations from where he lived the past million years. It was like each stele and statue was a living Constellation, and their presence made the several dozen people and anyone who ever entered the plaza feel like ants.
"This is the Crucible of the Ancients. Rumor has it that it once served as a colosseum of life and death for countless ancient beings, and every stele and statue here is a representation of them. Not only do these steles and statues carry great power, but they also hold the Legacies of those ancient beings," A young girl said after she noticed the guy lost in thought marveling over the statues.
Since this was the first time this person came to their organization, and he was amazed by the remnants of the Crucible of the Ancients, she decided to offer him an explanation of the surrounding steles and statues.
While Jhin was gazing in curiosity at the countless steles and statues surrounding them, other hunters or wealthy individuals who were visiting the organization for the first time were in a similar situation. A hint of fanaticism even colored their eyes when they saw the tallest steles and statues in the plaza.
"Incredible! Were those ninety-nine 10,000-meter-tall steles and statues left behind by Ancient Constellations?"
"Yes, but they're not the only Ancient Constellations steles and statues the Crucible has to offer. The ones here can be accessed so long as you pass the tournament preliminaries. If you can get into the championship's top four, you can head to a deeper area that is said to house steles and statues that are tens of thousands of meters tall. The individuals those steles and statues represent are mighty existences, even among Ancient Constellations!"
"Snap out of it. Those steles and statues aren't for us. Ordinary parties like ours have no chance of entering the top four. Many of the top hunters wanted to participate in the tournament but didn't even have the qualifications to enter. You've heard of MoonNight, right? Well, she's that S-rank hunter that ranked second in the Dragon Nation, but even she didn't manage to enter the tournament."
"There is also Abyss's Gate's David. Even though he's regarded as a nigh-invincible existence among his peers, he barely managed to start discussions about joining the tournament with the business titans."
While the people in the plaza were discussing the tournament that countless hunters dreamed of partaking in once, Jhin overheard them, and he couldn't help but wonder why hunters never had the chance to participate in it.
The young girl seeing no reaction whatsoever from the new client to the information she provided just sighed in disappointment and left to take care of other people,' These strong hunters and wealthy people never care about our existence ordinary people and only show interest when one under the business titans direct order speaks to them.'
" I have a few questions, care to answer some of them?" Jhin asked without bothering to look at Ema's direction.
Ema didn't halt her footsteps and just kept moving toward the other clients on the other side of the plaza. In her mind, such lofty people would never call her for information about anything even though this was her job, just because her identity was ordinary.
Even though this sounded cruel to the workers in this place, everyone had long gotten used to such treatment and didn't honestly care much since the payment was simply triple what the other organizations gave.
In fact, almost everyone except a few individuals liked this environment since half of their work was placed on the shoulders of the direct workers of the business titans, lifting a lot of pressure out of their daily lives.
Alas, the next words that came out of the young man's words shocked Ema to the core, a sense of fear and paranoia even invading her mind and making her body uncontrollably shake.
" Your name was Ema, right? I have asked to be given some answers and yet you ignored me, is this how the business titans treat its clients!?" Jhin's tone sounded a bit aggressive as he spoke to the girl, not caring about the reaction she will have upon hearing it.
