Lucifer's Descendant System

132 - A Familiar Explosion

"Excuse me, sir. I'm sorry to bother you, but my boss instructed me to invite you to have a cup of tea in his office, and that he would be very happy if you accepted," the attendant said with his head slightly lowered, showing the respect he felt for Noah.

Noah was surprised by this situation. He didn't think it he was going to get so much attention from the chief organizer of this tournament. As much as he really wanted to just sit in the driver's seat of his new car, Noah thought it would be at least polite to show respect to the boss of this place who gave him such a formal invitation.

"Sure. Please, lead the way." Noah responded politely to the attendant by returning the kindness that the attendant was showing him.

He had become curious about this place, since Robert's friends showed so much respect and fear for this place. It showed how important someone had to be to be respected by the employees of that place. Now that the boss himself had invited Noah to his office, it just made Noah feel even more curious about it all.

The office itself was not far. Despite being well organized, it was clear that the place was not a real definitive office. After all, in a place like this, which could probably be discarded at any time to change the location of fights, it would make no sense to invest thousands of dollars to renovate the place.

The attendant politely knocked on the door, and after confirming that he could open it, he politely opened the door for Noah without entering the room, which Noah noticed meant that he and the boss were likely to have a private conversation.

When he entered the room, he realized that this was indeed the case. Inside the room was just himself, and on a dark table, another person that because of the darkness, Noah could not see with his eyes who they might be, but it didn't mean he couldn't try to use his Pyakugan to see who that mysterious person was.

But something that Noah didn't expect to happen at all, happened at that moment. For the first time, the ability he used to see in any situation had been denied. When he tried to look at the person in front of him with the Pyakugan, the only thing he could see was a black shadow, quite different from what he was used to.

For a second, he let the surprise show through his expression, which was not ignored by the person in front of him, who laughed a little at the situation before commenting on it. "Mr Stern, did you know that it is impolite to try to observe the secrets of people who are trying to maintain privacy?"

Hearing that voice, Noah felt two shocks: First, because the voice he heard was not distinguishable between male or female. Each word seemed that it had been said by a different sex, which further contributed to the doubt and mystery in Noah's mind. And second, what caught his attention even more was that this person called him Stern. He didn't give that name when he had introduced himself to anyone, just saying that his name was Noah.

So with that, blah went back to his empty expression and answered back, "I'm sorry, but researching a person's life when you don't even want to divulge your own appearance doesn't seem like a sign of respect for privacy either."

Hearing Noah's response, the person on the other side of the table, hugged by the darkness, gave another chuckle - a chuckle that caused Noah to shiver, who, even trying his best, could not decipher so much as what that person's gender was.

But apparently by that person's jovial tone, this was all very amusing. "What you said makes sense, Mr. Stern, but unfortunately, even though I agree with your statement, I still can't reveal myself to you. After all, it's not yet time."

Hearing what the person said, Noah raised an eyebrow in confusion. What did this person mean by that?

But the person continued, "Calling you for tea was just a random excuse. The reason I called you here was to give you advice."
