Chapter 159: New party member

Chapter 158 - New party member

Souta went inside the room and saw Jimmy comfortably sitting on his seat. Souta sat opposite of Jimmy.

"I going to visit you tomorrow but I didn't think that you would come here on your own accord. It seems that you really need the monster potion now." Jimmy said to him with a smile on his face. He opened the drawer on his desk and placed the bottles with orange liquid inside it.

"Three bottles of monster potion. It seems that you've used your power just to get ahold of these three bottles of monster potions." Souta said as he picked up one bottle and looked at it.

After verifying that it was really a monster potion, Souta placed it back on the desk.

"Here, I've done to so you can enter inside the Lanny Corp and go to my office without bothering yourself. Just show this to receptionist." Jimmy said and he placed an ID on top of his desk.

"You've bother yourself," Souta said as he took the ID and looked at it. This ID showed that he was a member of the Lanny Corp and he was the captain of the explorer group at that.

Captain? It means that he was the leader of the people who went to an expedition for the Lanny Group. He also have an access to some ruins and dungeons that Lanny Corp owned.

"You can pick your own subordinate that you will lead among my subordinates. You can call me if you want to go to an expedition or not. Well, I will not force you as you just have to bring the name in any of your expedition." Jimmy said as he leaned back on his chair.

"This is pretty good." Souta nodded and he looked at Jimmy in the eyes. "Give me the details of the ruins and dungeons that Lanny Corp owned. I will decide to clear some of the dungeons if something got my interest in your possession."

"Okay, I'll prepare it for you. I will deliver it in your house." Jimmy agreed to him. He's favoring Souta too much even though Souta's power level wasn't on the top.

He saw something different on Souta. Different from the other people. A lot of people still didn't realize Souta's tremendous potential that placed him above other people. He's betting on that potential that he saw in Souta.

While those people didn't realize his potential, Jimmy was going to find Souta so that when Souta grew into a powerhouse he will get a lot of benefits from it. Surely, based on Souta's attitude he wouldn't forget Jimmy.

"Okay, thanks for this," Souta said as he knew what Jimmy was thinking. He wasn't against it as he knew that he would also receive a lot of benefits from partnering with Jimmy.

"It's nothing. I'm doing this for my future." Jimmy said with a smile.

'Future? I don't think that you will continue to invest in my once you know that I'm a monster. I'll squeeze out all the benefits I could take from you before I leave this continent.' Souta said inwardly while looking at Jimmy.

'Ufufu, you are really a scheming bastard. Pretending to be a demi and lying to everyone that you know.' Saya chuckled. She then added, 'I have to say that you should distance yourself from your friends. It's for your own good. Once they've realized that you're a monster, I wonder how many of your so called friends will stay beside you.'

'I don't need them to stay by my side. I also don't need their protection. I will handle it on my own with my own powers, that's all.' Souta said to Saya in his mind. He took a deep breath and pulled out something from his pocket.

He placed a thin yellow piece of paper on top of Jimmy's desk.

"A talisman?" Jimmy said when he saw the piece of yellow paper.

"Yeah, a transmission talisman to be precise. I wanted your help to get me a pair of this so that this piece of paper will become useful to me." Souta said.

"Okay, that's easy but where did you find this talisman?" Jimmy nodded and asked him.

"I got this talisman from one of Gregory's subordinates. It lost its connection to its other pair. It only means one thing, the other pair of this talisman was destroyed." Souta explained to Jimmy.

"I see..." Jimmy looked at Souta with a serious expression and asked, "I just wanted to ask one thing from you. Do you have any idea who killed Gregory?"

"I can't think of anyone right now. I also doubt that its the Ladro Institute." Souta said as he rubbed his chin.

"Yeah, I also think too. Ladro Institute wouldn't kill anyone that easily with investigating what happened there. You should probably be wary of your surrounding. A lot of nobles still think that you're the one who killed Gregory." Jimmy warned him to be careful of his surrounding. He knew that those nobles were still pushing the blame on Souta despite the evidence in front of them that Souta really didn't kill Gregory.

"Nobles? it will be hard to make a move with a lot of eyes watching me." Souta muttered as he rubbed his chin. He then looked at Gregory and asked, "What about you? Do you think that I'm the one who killed Gregory?"

"No." Jimmy simply said to him.

"You didn't even hesitate, why is that?" Souta asked with a curious expression.

"Based on my understanding of you, I think you understand the consequences you will experience if you killed the head of a noble family in public. You're a smart man, I know you wouldn't do it. At the very least, you will only kill Gregory if no one is watching." Jimmy said as he smiled while looking at Souta in the eyes.

"You're right at all. I wouldn't kill Gregory inside a city while everyone was watching. After all, I don't want to make an enemy of those nobles." Souta nodded and said to Jimmy.

He wouldn't do such a dumb thing while his power level was too low. Souta would only do it if he has enough to confront those hungry nobles. Those nobles would gather together if someone threatened them.

"Is there anything that you want?" Jimmy asked him one last time.

"Nothing. I'll contact you if I have something on my mind that need your help." Souta shook his head and said.

"Well, if you say so..." Jimmy looked at Souta before he closed his eyes and crossed his arms in front of his chest.

"I'll go now," Souta said before he stood up. He picked up the three bottles of monster potion on the table.

"I will contact you again," Jimmy said.

"I'm looking forward to it," Souta said before he left Jimmy's office.

...

One day later...

"Okay, I have someone I need to introduce to you," Souta said as he looked at Bryan and Brando.

Ever since Brando become an adventurer, he's always doing a quest with Bryan and sometimes with Souta. Right now, Brando was an E-rank adventurer.

"Who is it?" Bryan asked him with his face full of question marks.

"Both of you know her. From now on, she will join us in some of our quests." Souta said to Bryan and Brando.

Bryan tilted as he didn't have any idea about the new member of their party. Brando just simply wait for the new member to come.

After a few minutes, the new member if their party arrived.

"Class rep?!" Bryan exclaimed when he saw the person who arrived.

"Yeah, she's going to join us. Class rep didn't have any source of income after her father cut all ties with her so she decided to become an adventurer like us." Souta explained to them.

"I see... So that's why..." Bryan nodded as if he understood it.

"Our party consisted of one C-rank, one D-rank, one E-rank, and one F-rank. I'm the highest rank and class rep is the lowest. Still, we could take some difficulty quest with the level of our party. I think that the Adventurers Guild will let us." Souta said to them.

"Oh? It's for another quest." Bryan said with an excited expression.

"I'm going to ask the two of you if your fine with class rep joining our party?" Souta looked at them and asked.

"Yeah, I'm actually excited that class rep will join us in our adventure," Bryan said.

"I don't have any problem with it," Brando said to him.

"Thank you guys for accepting me. I'll do my best to help all of you." Lumilia stepped forward and said to the two.

"Good." Souta nodded in satisfaction when he saw this. Their party was pretty good. Two tanks, two damage dealer, and one long range attacker.

The tanks were Yuko and Brando. The two damage dealer were Souta and Bryan, while Lumilia was the long-range attacker with her spells.
