Rising of the Weakest Mage

Vol 7/Ch 62 - The Demon of Finance

I am seriously not ready for this, Allen thought to himself as he was once again taking another carriage, but to a different destination.

"The Demon of Finance", was the nickname August advised Allen of that was given to Reynold Windblade, the owner of Reynold Enterprises. As the head of the company named after himself, as well as a very powerful and influential merchant, he had earned that nickname not that long ago.

But why does the 'Demon of Finance' want to meet with me, out of anyone?, Allen asked himself as he continued his journey.

Unfortunately for Allen, the letter itself did not detail the reasoning as for why Reynold wanted to speak to Allen personally. All it detailed was the location, which was his company headquarters, as well as to bring the letter as proof so his guards would allow him through.

Of course, Allen could have easily declined the invitation to meet him in person and discuss whatever he wanted to talk about, however both William and August both recommended he meet with him. After all, Reynold does not speak to just anyone personally. This could be perhaps a good opportunity for him, if anything at all, to speak with one of the most important people currently in London.

"We're here sir," the carriage driver advised him as Allen looked out and confirmed it for himself.

He promptly got out of the carriage, paid his fee, and then the driver left, as someone else would come back to pick him up.

Wow, this place is amazing, Allen thought as he couldn't help but take in the view around him.

The main headquarters was located near one of the major ports in London. The port was bustling with activity and work being done, as various ships were unloaded or loaded with goods. Not one worker was slow, as they all worked in unison to get their jobs done. Several magical knights were in the area, to prevent any sort of problems that could occur.

The headquarters building itself was a fairly large building, and almost rivaled the Triumvirate building in beauty and size. A lot of money was surely put toward the building, to make it stand out and remain as flawless as possible. Near the entrance were several guards Allen would need to talk to in order to gain entrance. Luckily, he did not forget the letter that Reynold sent him.

One of the guards noticed Allen slowly approach. "Can we help you?"

"I'm here to see Reynold Windblade, by invitation," Allen asked, not showing the letter in the event they already were expecting him.

"Sorry kid, but we've been instructed he has no visitors today unless by invitation," the guard replied.

"Ah, I have this," Allen finally took the letter out and handed it to the guard.

"Hmm, this doesn't look familiar," he squinted his eyes while reading it. "Unless you have a real letter, unfortunately you're going to have to put a request in"

"But, that letter is what he sent me. Didn't he inform anyone that I was to be expected?," Allen asked, getting a little annoyed now.

"Unfortunately no, so we're going to have to ask you to-"

"I'm sorry, but what do you think you are doing?," A voice came from behind the guards.

"Miss!," the two guards stepped to the side as they did a little salute.

The woman in question seemed to be in her mid twenties. She had long, white hair and what seemed to be blue eyes. She was very pretty, and it was hard for Allen not to take his eyes off of her. Despite wearing a maid outfit, it was very lavish in style.

Is she one of the maids? Wait, does Reynold Enterprises even have maids?, Allen thought to himself as she took a look at both Allen, then back at the guards.
