Chapter 27 - Chapter 27: Completion of the mission (1)

Myles spotted a tall building that had a thing later of metal plating in the distance. 5 fighters were guarding the building whose eyes were peeled on Myles and the others. It was a rare sight in the outer edges of the kingdom.

"Considering the size of the building and the valuable items in the vehicle, the number of guards is too low," Myles thought to himself.

Yes, this was the building where they were going to escort the AT vehicle. What happened to the vehicle after was none of their concerns.

Myles began to scan the entire building from top to bottom.

The building was certainly very big; there was a big gate near the bottom of the building, probably serving as the entrance gate of a vehicle.

Apart from this, there wasn't anything worth mentioning about the building. The vehicle kept making its way slowly towards the building.

As the distance between the vehicle and the building narrowed, the guards noticed the approaching vehicle with eyes full of relief.

When the vehicle was less than a few meters away from the building. The guards began to open the gate without uttering a single word.

"It seems like the guards have received information about our arrival," Myles thought to himself as he walked towards the building.

None of them was surprised by the actions of the guards. It made sense that their employer had made this arrangement.

Hence, without showing any signs of stopping, they continued their charge. Within a matter of a few minutes, they passed through the gate.

Upon stepping inside the building, Myles saw himself standing in a spacious room that was lit up properly. The walls were white and the floor was made up of shining tiles.

As he was inspecting the room, a calm voice resounded through his ears.

"You have finally arrived" A voice resounded through their ears.

Myles looked at the source of the voice, spotting a secretary of his employer sitting on chairs. Besides the chair, there was also a large table placed before her.

There were also two people standing near her. The two people had weapons, it was clear that they were fighters.

.

When she was certain that everyone had their eyes on her, she signaled everyone to make their way toward her.

The caption made its way toward her, hence encouraging everyone else to do the same.

As they walked towards her, the caption replied to her earlier words.

"We have barely managed to make it here" The caption replied with a bitter smile on his face.

"I know that you faced a lot of difficulty escorting the cargo, but in the end, you did manage to escort the cargo. Hence, completing your mission." The secretary replied, her voice carrying seriousness.

The caption nodded his head since it was the truth. They soon halted their steps when they were a cm away from the table.

"Please keep all the weapons and items that you have borrowed from us on the table in front of you." The secretary remarked.

They didn't look too surprised. Since it was normal to return the borrowed weapons! Myles quickly stepped out of the boots that he was wearing and kept them on the table.

The others also did the same, they stepped out of the boots and kept it on the table. The gunners also kept the guns on the table knowing that they would be compensated soon.

The secretary counted all the weapons laid before her. She signaled the person behind her to take all the weapons away after confirming all borrowed items had been returned.

The person did as told, he put all the weapons in a secure box. Taking the box away from the room.

When she was alone in the room, she stared at Myles and the others before saying something that everyone was waiting for.

"Tell me everything that happened in detail. After that, I will give you the rewards promised," The secretary remarked.

Upon hearing the caption took the lead and told her everything that happened from start to end.

As she listened to what happened, her face became paler with each passing seconds!

"This is all that happened," The caption said, reciting everything that happened.

Afterward, he fell silent. For the next few seconds, not even a single word was spoken until the silence was broken by the secretary herself.

"If whatever you said is true, then if not for your decision to call sir Daniel then you will have certainly lost.

I thank you for making the right decision; you will surely be awarded handsomely," The secretary said.

The caption just nodded almost like not caring about her.

The secretary took no offense. Instead, she diverted her attention toward Myles and the others.

"Celestial Swordkeeper, Devil Gunner, and Dark Knight. The three of you have also shown excellent performance; you shall also be rewarded handsomely," The secretary exclaimed.

"Thank you" Myles bluntly replied.

The secretary didn't say anything. Instead, she said something to one of the guards beside her.

Afterward, he began to walk in a certain direction.

"Wait here for a few minutes. He will be back soon" The secretary said as she stood up.

Myles nodded as he saw the person walking towards a certain room.

"Where did he go?" Myles thought to himself.

Thankfully, Myles didn't have to wait for too long since he soon returned. He returned with around 13 pouches. Keeping the pouches on the table when he got close enough.

It didn't take a genius to guess what was inside the pouch. It was probably full of universal coins!!

Everyone's attention was drawn towards the pouch; seeing this, the secretary smiled slightly.

"Patience, everyone, when I call your name, come here and take your reward," The secretary said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded theirs. Eagerness to receive their reward was visible on all player's faces, but the NPC did not appear to be too eager.

Probably because the reward was far too low for their liking

Nonetheless, the secretary began to call the names one after another, slowly handing out the pouches.

It wasn't long before it was Myles's turn.

"Myles, come here." The secretary called out his name as she took a pouch.

Myles walked towards her, taking the pouch from her hands when he was close enough.

The moment Myles took the pouch dozens of notifications flashed in his retina. However, he chose not to see it now.

After talking to the pouch, he walked away standing before Vincent. He took a deep breath before reading the notifications.

"Let's see if it is enough or not," Myles thought to himself
