Chapter 53: Feisty Female CEO!

  (Celia’s POV)

  Ignoring the giggling girl, I approached the room, which I assumed was the CEO’s office. Opening the door, I was greeted by a woman… who was looking directly at me.

  Sven: “I know that you’re here, whoever you are.” She said with a smile, resting her chin on the back of her hands as her arms were propped up on her desk.

  Celia: “How’d you notice me?” I ask with a curious tone after undoing my invisibility.

  Sven: “I saw the stairwell access door to this floor… being picked by itself. Who hired you? I can pay triple what they paid you.” She answered and then spoke her proposal.

  Celia: “No one hired me.” I reply.

  Sven: “Then what do you want? I’ll have you know… there are five S Rank evolved humans on my payroll. And they can rush to this room within seconds.” She threatened.

  Oh, she is feisty. Why do I say that? Because she had already alerted those people she mentioned. In truth, this woman, Sven, had no intentions of making a deal with me. Ah, her name is on a very expensive looking plaque. It’s just sitting on her desk.

  Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.

  Bang!

  Just like she said, five strong people had soon rushed into the room. They immediately started a fight with me. Of course, I didn’t wish to kill any of them. I was trying to recruit Sven; you know.

  An Hour Later.

  Defeated, Sven’s guard lied on the ground, motionless. I didn’t kill them, no. Instead, I just beat them up until they finally passed out. I also healed them, by the way!

  Sven: “You…have more than one power?” She asked in shock.

  Celia: “Stop being surprised… For a Higher Being, your intelligence seems to be lacking somewhat.” I reply with a laugh.

  Sven: “Oh… you’re a player, huh? Then it makes sense… Very well, with your strength, I assume that you aim to kill all the players living in this city, yes? Including me…” She said with a grim tone.

  The woman was shaking in her shoes, so I guess that Sven doesn’t have a good power at all. Perhaps she has a power that lets her set up magic cameras? I don’t know…

  Faith: “Celia, I lied about the number of players here…” She admitted.

  Celia: “I figured… What is the actual count?” I ask with a sigh.

  Faith: “About 5,000…” She answered.

  Celia: “…”

  Hm… No wonder there were far more than “five” players in that hotel. Ignoring that omission from Faith, I decided to let this woman stew for a while longer.

  Faith: “Why aren’t you replying?” She asked.

  Celia: “Maybe she will inform us of the other players? She mentioned that these guards were S Rank, but I had no idea that evolved humans even had a grading system.” I answered.

  Faith: “Oh! Good idea. You always do either funny, entertaining, or very smart things, Celia.” She praised.

  Celia: “…”

  Since it is Faith, I kinda can’t tell if she is joking and teasing me, or she is actually praising me for real. Either way, Sven was getting nervous now… Oh, Sven must be a sub, as damn… she is the type that is fun to tease!
