Biocores: The Legendary Weapon Designer-Chapter 43: The Gold Obsessed Maniac

In a room on the top floor of Duke Duval’s residence, Pax and his brother Leon were kneeling. In front of them stood Duke Duval and his son, Warden Jubilee. The dimly lit room fuel by the oppresive energy of the two powerhouse suffocated the pair of brothers slowly.

Sitting next to them was their sister Kalix, who was, as always, exempted from punishment. "Imagine having to resort to treachery and still losing," Warden Jubilee berated his eldest son. "My good name has never been this sullied"

"Father, it is because the Monarch hired a mysterious weapon designer," Kalix spoke.

"Shut up! I am talking to you brothers." He cut her off.

"Tell me, Pax! Why did you lose?" The older man finally broke his silence.

"Grand father I did not lose. The monarch intervened by finding a better weapon designer. I cannot defeat the machinations of the Monarch" He said confidently.

"I have known Inanos my whole life, and I can tell you one thing for sure. If he promises to not interfere, he will keep his promise."

"The reason you have lost is because you never for a second considered that illegitimate son of his. Even after failing to get the upper hand multiple times."

"I have met him; now I can tell you confidently you are indeed inferior to him."

"Grandfather!" Leon intervened

"Shut-up! I am speaking."

" I have raised you too coddled. Starting today, both of you will join your father as a frontier soldier"

"Grandfather!"

"It is non-negotiable."

"Don’t ask me about the hunt your participation is revoked."

"Yes grandfather" Their responded in unison.

Nioh was right because a few hours after his conversation with X, his communication device rang. " Hello, this is Lieutenant X. Who am I speaking to?"

"Hello, I am Cyanide from the order of the Crow. I got your dialing code from your brother Cryo."

"Get to the point," X said with a stern face. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

"I would like to invite the prince as a Thank you for his assistance during the first arc of the Summer hunt."He stammered very fast.

Nioh who was standing opposite to him, rapidly typed on his screen ’ask him when and where.’

"When and where would that be?"

"Tonight, Starlight Lounge in the Trading market," Cyanide declared.

No, too exposed propose something simpler, Nioh wrote on his screen.

"For security purposes, that would not be possible. How about you make a trip to the Royal Palace?"

Cyanide hesitated before speaking. "To tell you the truth there is a an important guest who would like to speak with the prince about a certain deal. I am sure if you mention it the prince would know. We can ensure security for the meeting but it cannot be in the palace for diplomatic reasons."

Accept

"The prince would be available between nine and eleven," X answered.

"Perfect. I will send the Car."

"Nice! but can you please take a goddam shower, you stink" X said right after hanging the call.

"What are you talking about? I showered Yesterday" Nioh asked while sniffing his pits and hair.

"No it has been four days" Ekoh interrupted.

The hover car stopped right at the entrance of the Trading Market while a group of well trained attendants helped Nioh and X out. He was dressed in a silver suit that complimented his beautiful figure and his golden Eyes. X on the other hand was still on duty so he wore his military gear and followed close by.

Very quickly they rode in the elevator to the starlight lounge. Upon arrival, the popular gathering place for the elite was emptied out, leaving a single table at the center of the dimly lit lounge decorated in an almost romantic atmosphere.

Cyanide was the first to approach Nioh. "Good afternoon, Prince, My master is waiting for you," he said while leading him to the table.

After a few steps, the so-called master came into view. It was an elegant man in his early twenties with well-combed blonde hair and bleu round eyes. He was dressed in a tan suit and wore at least one gold-plated ring on each finger.

"Nioh Glev," he said, extending his hand as an introduction.

" Magnus Gold," the man said, accepting the handshake.

"Please sit down! I have to say you are gorgeous in person." Magnus declared

"Oh! Thank you. I just turned fifteen for a reminder"

"Ha!HA!Ha! I didn’t mean it that way. I have a sick obsession with golden-colored things. And Your eyes are just mesmerizing.

It takes restraint in my body to resist the temptation to rip them out." He said in an eerie tone.

X immediately reached for his sword, but Nioh raised his hand as a sign for him to stand down.

" You have an eerie sense of humor. But being a Five-star, with an S-tier Biocore at twenty, must come with some eccentricity," Nioh retorted.

" I am liking you even more now," He said with a smile.

"Let’s get down to business then. I don’t have forever."

"Cyanide told me you wanted to go to that place. There is only one way to go into that place, and that is to be selected. The selection means you have a token. Coincidentally, I have one extra that I am willing to exchange for a favor. Prince Nioh, or should I say designer Ekoh?"

A long silence filled the room as Nioh observed the opponent at the other end of the dinner table.

"Your reaction is really lackluster," Magnus exclaimed.

"It was not out of my expectation. With your money, you could have had well-known masters make a weapon for you. Why me?"

" For the simple reason that those that possess the skills to build the weapon I desire don’t lack money"

"Show me"

"Let’s have dinner first," he said snapping his hands. A line of waiters dressed in silk clothing appeared to deliver meals and drinks. The table was garnished with exotic dishes Nioh had never seen before.

He did not hesitate and ate like a starving ghost.

"It is always nice to see a junior, eat well" Magnus interrupted looking at Nioh.

"I hate wasting food the most," Nioh replied.

"I have enough money to feed you till you die. Just keep eating" he said smiling.

"Don’t tempt me, I can make this place go broke"

" It is not an issue, I own this building. And several others like this."

Nioh almost choked on his food.

He put the pieces together. The old man at the auction probably helped establish a trail on his identity and the rest was just guesswork.

"I won’t be polite then"
