Chapter 30: Negotiating

If Thomas tested him, resulting in some injuries to Lucas, it would look bad on the Dark Guild.

That's why she rushed behind Thomas.

Just as she caught sight of them, she froze when she saw Lucas smiling and returning a handshake nonchalantly.

"How can this be? He is just E-ranked fitness-wise."

Thomas, on the other hand, was impressed by Lucas. He was a baron appointed by the Empire and was tasked as a representative from the Empire to look over matters, while Eva came to represent Dark Gloves.

As for Eva's background, she was actually the only daughter of Viscount Baelish, Thomas's superior. Thomas was sent here to also meet and bring her back home, but like her father, she was too adamant and insisted on forging her own path, rejecting to come back almost immediately.

Thomas was depressed for the entire day because of this, so when he heard about today's happenings, he got interested in Lucas and came enthusiastically to meet him.

Thomas continued, "Young man, you are quite capable. Want to have a cup of tea?"

Lucas felt the aura released by Thomas, but that was all about it. He knew the man before him was not acting rude but just checking his strength, so Lucas didn't hold it against him.

"How can I reject such a tempting offer?"

Resisting Thomas's aura was not related to how strong someone was; it was related to mental fortitude. Eva knew that only men and women with great power and nobility would be able to handle such auras. Eva, being the heir of a count, could also resist the aura, but not as efficiently as Lucas, who made it seem like he didn't even notice it.

Eva had only seen her elder brother Brandon do this so efficiently, but Brandon was the young master of the Wayne family and son of a count.

In her eyes, Lucas was a complete mystery right now, as she had gotten reports about Lucas's history which only stated that he was but a young master of the Zaron Corp, which was not even worth a fly before her own brother's personal forces.

Eva, after regaining her calm demeanor, arrived at the scene.

"Cough cough I must tell you that Lord Thomas is a respectable baron of the Empire, so you should refer to him as your excellency with immediate effect. Secondly, you should issue the core before you have your tea with Lord Thomas."

Lucas eyed Eva from top to bottom and then began speaking with a smirk as if mocking her.

"Cough cough Firstly, I do not have the core. My friend Shiv here has worked hard to get it, and he has it. Secondly, as per rule 16362 A of section AD, unless and until prompted by a position holder to call him with due respects, I am not obliged to follow that conduct and would prefer calling Lord Thomas as Mr. Thomas, which I think he prefers more."

Everyone knew rules existed, but no one bothered to memorize useless rules like the one Lucas just said. As for Lucas, it wasn't that he had enough time to learn them manually. It was just that after harvesting information, it would be completely memorized by him. So he could quickly recall any rules.

...Silence...

Absolute silence. No one spoke for a while. Thomas, on one hand, was very impressed, while Eva was angry.

Eva was squinting her eyes, and her cheeks had now become red, the effect of gritting her teeth. She was no doubt angry by Lucas's perfect reply, but how could she back away when her reputation was on the line? She then turned to look at Lord Thomas and hinted with her eyes to say something.

Lord Thomas, after looking at this, was reminded of the little girl that Eva used to be. He then started laughing heartily, "Hahaha, I have never seen Eva getting flustered so easily. Young man, I must say you are quite capable indeed. Come on in now, unless you make her even angrier."

Lucas smiled and followed Thomas before winking at the angry Eva.

Eva, after watching them leave, stomped her foot and turned towards Shiv and asked coldly, "You are to stay here until tomorrow so that we have enough time to verify the core. Your rewards will be issued immediately after the verification. Now hand over the core."

Shiv handed over the core to her with a smile.

In his eyes, Lucas's reputation had increased. After all, there were many who were as powerful as Lucas but only a few who could make beautiful ladies fluster with mere words.

He then smiled widely and followed Eva back into the facility.

Inside Lord Thomas's Chamber

Lucas and Thomas were now sitting in front of each other, sipping tea.

Thomas broke the silence by asking, "My friend Lucas, I find it difficult to believe that the boy was the one who got the core. Won't you explain to me how that happened?"

Lucas then told him that he made a business deal with Shiv and exchanged something he needed without revealing what exactly the deal was.

After chatting for a while, Lucas confirmed that his earlier speculations were indeed correct. He also sighed with relief when he found that the core was verified and found to be true.

The core was indeed true, but what was important inside it was gone. Lucas gave a dry laugh, thinking in his mind, "About this, I will let the Empire explain it to the Alis themselves."

He then continued, "Mr. Thomas, is the Empire going to strike a deal with Alis using the core as leverage?"

Thomas raised his brows. "And why would you mention this fact?"
