As the receptionist was apologizing to me the people around looked who was the person that caused her to be so respectful.

They saw a short haired tall man with a young face not older than 20 years old. He was wearing a simple attire and didn't seem to fit in with the rest of the crowd. He looked like he worked in a labor intensive job and not anything related to trading.

He didn't look that smart and had a plain face that you would forget really soon , but he had a poise to him that seemed like he towered the other people around him. Also behind him was a beastfolk that just stood there quietly.

" It's no problem I understand , just hurry up a little because I'm in a hurry."

" Yes ,certainly."

She then reached to grab something under the table.

I didn't understand what that was for , but I didn't ask.

"I just called for my superior so you can ask her anything."

I waited for about 3 minutes when a woman came slowly towards the receptionist. She talked to the receptionist in a hushed voice for a while seemingly trying to understand the situation and the faced me and smiling said.

" Hello esteemed costumer , I am Ms Elena one of the supervisors of this branch.

Firstly let me apologize for the wait and if you have any complaints please tell me."

I took a sideways glance at the receptionist and said.

"No no I am content. The receptionist was very professional and helpful."

"Is that so!

Then if you could follow me please,I will be taking you two gentlemen to the our VIP room."

Me and Munnji followed Ms Elena and after walking through a series of complicated corridors we finally arrived .

She opened the door and motioned with her hand for us to enter first.

The room was very spatious about 20 m² and decorated with various paintings, sculptures of different beings I hadn't seen before . The walls were painted white and decorated with silver and gold lines to the edge of them. In the room was a table seemingly carved from marble but the colour was a pale gold. Around it were two couches in opposite sides of the table that seemed to be made from the leather of some kind of beast.

We sat down to one of the couches while Ms Elena went to the side where there was an assortment of bottles in a small wooden table.

" Would you gentlemen like to drink anything?"

I not wanting to look ignorant in front of her I requested the only thing that she was sure to have and that was ,water.

" Yes, we would like a coup if water if possible."

" Certainly.

And would you like your water to be room temperature or cold?"

Me and Munnji looked at each other for a split second before I answered."

" Cold please."

She then took one of the crystal clear bottles from the table that seemed to contain a clear liquid ,I would presume water.

She then took two glasses in the side of the table and then filled them before giving them to us.

I took a mouthful of the water and to my surprise it was indeed cold.

I was surprised to find out that they had cold water because there didn't seem to be any ice in the glass or the bottle.

I drank the water in one gulp and she refilled my glass before excusing herself.

" I will inform Ms Faley for your arrival , so please make yourself comfortable."

*Clack*

The door closed behind her leaving the two of us alone in the room.

We looked around for a while looking at the decorations all over the room and we both came to a conclusion.

The decorations were all masterpieces even to our untrained eyes. It seemed the token that Faley gave us was more valuable than we had thought.

After taking in the surroundings I decided to send a soul message to Munnji.

We had created a soul link since the the beginning which had helped me greatly to communicate with Munnji and then slowly learn his language so I could comunicate to the other inhabitants of this world. My speaking skills were decent enough but my writing skills were very bad.

[ The place is very lavish, it seems that Faley has given us a lot of importance ,but I can't shake the feeling that he is trying to rope us into something .]

[ Are you sure? Maybe his intentions are not what you think. Maybe he was just trying to help us.]

[ Heh, maybe you are right , but we have to take everything into consideration.

Do you remember the law of the jungle?]

[ The survival of the fittest!]

[ Yes, you are correct.

And do you know the law of humans?]

[ ...no.]

[ You have to give something in order to get something .

The law of exhange.]
