Nolan and his group directly left the store. The goblins just kept following Nolan without asking any questions or talk with anyone along the way, everything was handled by Nolan himself. Even now, they didn't know where they were going but they didn't ask and just followed behind him.

This time, Nolan didn't go to another store but instead stood on the glass balcony and looked at everyone below with focussed eyes. The goblins didn't know who or what he was looking for but kept looking with him. This went on for hours and Nolan hadn't moved a single inch from where he was standing.

One of the goblins, Gege, finally couldn't take it anymore and decided to speak out.

“My Lord, what exactly is it that you're looking for here? We've been standing like this for hours now and I'm hungry.”

“Hahaha. I was wondering how long your silent game was going to last and it hasn't been that long.”

“What game?”

“As for what I'm looking for, it's actually a person and I seem to have found him. Let's go and say hi, who knows, he might just go ahead and take us to where the money is.” said Nolan as he took the elevator.

…

On the first floor, a middle aged man sat lazily on the wooden bench while chewing on wild grass. He was holding flyers and his job seemed to be giving them out but no one seemed interested. At least all the people he'd approached so far had all rejected his requests and he'd been here since morning.

‘At this rate, I'm going to leave empty handed yet again. The boss will not like this one bit. How the fuck do the others find them?!’ The middle aged man was so deep in his thoughts that he didn't even realise when someone sat beside him.

“Yo, you looking for someone… special?” said the person sitting beside him.

The middle aged man who was under stress was immediately enraged and was about to berate whoever it was that interrupted his thoughts but as soon as he saw the person, his words were stuck in his throat.

‘Perfectly compressed muscles, neither too big nor too small, perfect posture, well hidden aura, a fearless gaze and finally, the desire to win. This is the person I've been looking for.’ thought the middle aged man to himself.

“Your eyes are very sharp. You're right, I am looking for someone special. Do you want to be that special person?” The middle aged man had the most welcoming smile as he chatted with the person beside him.

Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

“I think you already know the answer to your question. Give me what I want and you'll get what you want. Who knows, your boss might even be impressed by my performance and give you a promotion.” said the person sitting beside him.

“How did you find me?” asked the middle aged man.

“That's not important. What's important is that we leave immediately and stop wasting time. Your time might not be worth anything but mine is worth money, loads of money so let's go.” said the person as he stood up, the middle aged man stood up with him.

The duo then began to walk not outside but towards the elevator. The duo was being followed by a small group of goblins.

“Hey, you haven't even introduced yourself yet and what's with the goblins? Your guards or something.”

“Something like that. As for my identity, you don't have to worry about that. All you need to know is that we're about to become famous and filthy rich.” said the person as they entered the elevator. The middle aged man then took out a small black key, revealed a hidden keyhole inside the elevator and inserted the black key in it.

The elevator then began to descend at a fast speed. And not just that, it felt like they’d just passed many floors. Only when the elevator reached the lowest floor did it stop and its doors opened automatically. When they stepped out, they were standing on tempered glass and below them was what looked like a fighting arena.

There were many people around the arena who seemed to be spectating with unhinged excitement and adrenaline. Their body language spoke for itself and even though it was quiet outside the dome, the person could still read the mood. The glass was obviously sound proof.

On the other side was another elevator but this time, two men stood guard in front of it. These two bouncers had savage looks that could easily intimidate a lot of people without even trying. The middle aged man walked in large and confident strides while the person followed behind him.

“Boys, I've finally found my lucky star, please quickly inform the boss about my return.” said the middle aged man.

“Troy, the boss is already waiting for you. She said to take you to her office as soon as you came back, now follow me.” said one of the bouncers as he led them inside the elevator. He then pressed one and the elevator descended. They were already deep underground but they were still going deeper.

Tiing!

The elevator doors opened and there was a small hallway with surveillance cameras. At the end of the hallway was a metallic door that had the same design as that the doors used for Safe's.

“It's me.” spoke the bouncer through the voice recognition and sound transmission device. The wheel on the door spun by itself and the metallic door slowly opened. The group then entered and the door closed behind them.

Once inside, everything seemed to change. Everyone suddenly felt refreshed, relaxed and in a good mood. All their worries and problems seemed to vanish with the wind and all that was left was a sense of unhappiness welling from deep within themselves.

‘Did we enter Buddha's chambers or what? Why does my body feel so light and my mind clear of all distracting thoughts?” mumbled Zaza.

Not far from them was a desk with all kinds of flowers placed on it as decorations, at the corners of this office were incense sticks that were burning, releasing a feint but fine fragrance. There was also a fan on the roof that blew a gentle on everyone. Behind the desk was a chair with someone sitting on it but the person had their back facing the group that just entered.

“Boss, I've brought Troy to you as instructed.” said the bouncer.

“Good. Now leave.” sounded a feminine voice. The bouncer bowed to the person then left.
