After Acht left the factory, the place was swarmed with policemen and medics. They were apparently looking for these people for a very long time but they couldn't find them.

They were the big fish when it came to making soul amplifiers and they even distributed to all of the Surgian empire. Such a thing made the owners of this business one of the most wanted criminals in the kingdom.

But, even if they somehow knew that the GoldKnight family is the one responsible for it, they won't be doing much to stop them. In fact, they will probably ignore it and hide the fact from the population.

This was how corrupted the higher-ups of this kingdom were. It was very impressive how this country kept its power and prosperity for this long with such a flaw in its laws.

Anyway, after leaving the place, Acht sent the information he gathered from this mission through the app. One of the good things about it is that it gave you the choice to keep your identity secret or not. So, Acht immediately chose to keep himself under a veil of mystery just so he could avoid pointless problems.

After that, within a few minutes, the money was sent to him through his bank account. It was a very quick transaction that didn't need him to go back to the guild just so that he could get his rewards.

He earned a total of 500 gold coins from the mission since the one who posted it got more than just a small amount of information or even a few hints. Acht totally revealed the illegal business and even killed every single one responsible for it so he totally deserved that extra money.

'Back to a rich life.' He thought to himself.

The first thing he did was book a room in a hotel so he can have a place where he could leave for a few days until he meets Leislet again. Then, he bought some necessities for himself like health potions and stamina potions. They were all indispensable for his survival.

After that, he took a few missions in the forest nearby to hunt some monsters and get some soul stones. He wanted to gather as many soul stones as he could for when he was going to reach level 10 and pass on to the next soul level. He also wanted to raise his rank in the hunter guild quickly so he could open higher quests that could prove to be a challenge for him.

**************************

A few days passed like a breeze. Nothing major happened and it was something Acht was grateful for.

"Now…what should I do?" He muttered to himself as he sat in a restaurant, eating his lunch as he gazed at the window with a distant look.

'Maybe I should go and meet Leislet again? I have already decided to accept it anyway.' he thought to himself as he threw a french fry in his mouth.

It was set in stone that he will be going to the Mystic Soul Convention. He just needed to get himself ready and that's it. Now, he felt like he had done everything he needed to do and more so he was ready to move on to the next phase of his journey.

After deciding what to do next, he finished his food and quit the restaurant, and walked straight toward the hunter association HQ.

When he reached there, he went to the reception desk and asked for a meeting with Leislet.

The receptionist frowned and was about to politely refuse him. But, while they were standing there, a person got out of the elevator and came walking toward them.

"Hi! You came back quicker than I thought." She said as she waved her hand with a smile.

"You were expecting me, weren't you?" He responded.

"Did I get caught?" She said mischievously.

"Pretty much."

Then, they both started walking away from the receptionist who had his mouth agape like a whale.

Acht eyed the shocked receptionist once and smiled disdainfully.

After that, they both went up to the last floor where Leislet's office was. She seemed to be in a very good mood as hummed beside him like a bird.

"So, what's your answer?"

She asked as she sat down on her chair making her big boobs jiggle in the process.

"You should already expect my answer. I accept your offer." He said.

"Great! That's the good news that I always search for!" Her eyes lightened up even more and she smiled widely. It seemed that his approval of her offer was a huge thing for her.

"Can I ask you one question though?"

"Go ahead."

"Why did you choose me out of many other people? With your status, you could've gotten someone way stronger than me for the tournament."

Leislet didn't answer immediately as she pulled out a remote controller and tapped a button on it.

Then, the wall to their side suddenly lit up like a TV and the news channel appeared in front of them.

"Look at this." She said as she rested her hands again on the table.

The news channel was still airing the discovery of the drug laboratory. It was the hot topic of the capital for the past few days since it was revealed that many slum children get abused in such horrendous ways in this place and then die after getting used countless times.

The news reporter was talking about a certain point of this accident.

"This industry that is almost gaining billions of gold coins while using children as its main resource for creating soul amplifiers is just nothing short of a catastrophe…."

"Heard that?" She asked as she shut off the TV again.

"Billions of gold coins? There is no way such…"

"Exactly, there is no way such a business could be in the billions of gold coins. It's just pure nonsense. But, for more views and more exposure, they exaggerate the numbers and change the numbers and make it even more terrifying. People might think it's not true, but many will buy it."

Then, she stood up and walked to the window, and continued.

"Imagine just how big it would be if an 8 or 9 years old boy wins the prestigious Mystic Souls Tournament. It would be huge and it would even become a hot topic for months. That fact alone will boost my reputation into the sky. Not even the king himself could rival me then. Fufufufu" She said as she arched her arms as if she wanted to hug something.

"You are crazy," Acht said as he sighed under his breath with a helpless look. He seemed to be a magnet for crazy people from the moment he came here.

"I will consider that as a compliment." She said as she chuckled lightly.

"Well, fair enough. You will win from it and I will win from it so it's none of my business what you do with my win."

"Ohoh, so you're confident that you will win?" She asked with an amused look.

"It's not about confidence or any bullshit like that. I just know that I will win. It's something set in stone." He responded with an extremely serious look.

Leislet was impressed by his attitude. Such words coming from any other person's mouth would have been considered nothing but arrogant bluffing. But, Acht didn't show any type of arrogance. It was more of a blind trust in his own abilities that made him come to such a conclusion.

'What a weird kid.' She thought to herself.

Then, as she was about to say something else, a loud sound interrupted her.

*BOOOOOOMMMMMMMM*

It was the sound of a loud explosion.

"What's that?" The boy muttered and hurried his way to the window to take a look.

Outside, a few kilometers away, there was a huge fire storm that covered the sky like a veil of hell.

The clouds of smoke rose up into the far heights and moved into the other areas of the capital at a tremendous speed.

That wasn't the only thing, soon, a strong wave of soul force attacked Acht and made him back away two steps.

"What's this strong aura…No, it's not one aura…"

"Yeah, this is a monster stampede." Leislet continued his words with a serious look. Her playful demeanor was nowhere to be found.

"A monster stampede? This is not good at all." Acht muttered to himself.

Their aura alone told him that they were in the tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.

"Why did this happen?"

Leislet moved quickly and picked up the phone.

"Make an emergency call for all the hunters from B-rank and above that are in the city now. Tell them all to ignore their quests and come back quickly!"

Then, she looked at Acht and said with a serious look.

"We need to move. The capital is going to get destroyed!"
