Chapter 6: 6. Lexun merchant group
My biggest concern for now is money. Currently, I'm dirt poor, and I have no job in this world. The only advantage I might have is my knowledge of the novel.
To boost my rank, I will need some resources. After all, an ant with a shot gun and a shield is still an ant that no one will respect.
" man… why didn't I reincarnate in a rich family…"
If I was a member of an elite family, I would have gotten anything I wished for. Elixirs, strong spells and a luxurious life. I wouldn't mind dying in 10 years if I live with such comfort… just kidding… or not?
I have nothing of value to sell… if I decided to sell the skill I would have been killed immediately as I was an orphan with no backing. The only advantage I have is just some random future knowledge from the novel….
" Information huh… wait a minute… if I'm not mistaken there was a merchant group that would buy information with crazy amounts"
'Lexun' was one of the famous merchant groups that works in the black market. Assassination, merchandise and information. All could be obtained with a price. One of their information gathering services is by sharing requests of some clients. The identity of the client and the identity of the informer all are kept unknown after all that's how they became famous. Because of their confidentiality and accreditation. Once the informer gives the information, a team will be dispatched to confirm whether the Intel was true or not to confirm the payments. Of course the merchant group will have a percentage of the payment, but most of the money goes to the informer.
" let's check it for once"

'In the middle of the night where the city was most active, a teenager was walking in a bar with a mask covering his face'
A beautiful mature woman at one of the benches noticed the approaching teenager and said in a raspy yet calm hearted voice " hello there, even though I can't see your face I could tell you are a handsome man, still I am too old for you honey"
The young man responded in an indifferent voice ignoring her " miss Amelia, sorry for appearing without an appointment, but I would like to take a look At the 'shared information requests'"
The woman's whole demeanor changed from a flirty way to dead serious, the only thought that was in her mind was' How did he know?'
She was an A rank hero who works as lexun member as a double agent behind the scenes. She wasn't someone in a high position as she was a rookie member, but still even her coworkers at the humanity association never suspected her.
While looking at the teenager she could gauge his rank was way too low compared to hers that's why she decided to capture him and figure out how did he know using her strongest item a legendary rank that rivals an S rank ability. The effect of her accessory is an S rank charming ability.
Secretly activating the ability she asked in a demanding tone " who are you? and how did you know who I'm?"
Contrary to her thoughts the young man seemed completely unfazed and was staring back at her with a frown in his face. Little did she know that the reason for his frown is because something appeared all of sudden in front of him.
[ Warning! S rank attack has been detected.]
[Activating ' the void'.]
[The attack was successfully removed. Cool down duration is one week from now.]
A weird portal ate her skill like it was nothing….
Why did she attack me? She is supposed to be a good character in the future… Did I end up intimidating her?
The woman was astonished, never in her life has her artifact betrayed her. Adding salt to the injury the man said " Amelia, I have no ill intentions for you to activate your ' Mermaids hypnosis ' just hand me the 'shared information request' list"
The woman was not naive, she knew not to misjudge the person in front of her, she lived long enough to understand how scary powerful individuals can be. He even knew of her strongest artifact. He could be a tiger hidden in a cat appearance, so she immediately replied with a bow " Please forgive my ignorance good sir, please follow me upstairs".

Good sir?
Me?
Oh…I accidentally mentioned the name of her artifact.
A rank hero Amelia ' the alluring poison' is one of the future powerful allies. If I remember correctly She is now a rookie member in the humanity association and will also become a teacher in the magical academy in the future, and her class was 'magic control'. Her artifact can even momentarily charm some S rank heroes. Also there were many powerful skills that she used during future events.
'dragging me from my thoughts was the same sound of the person in my mind'
" here are the current requests, there are a total of 23 requests that are still uncleared"
'taking the list from her hand, I quickly scanned the list carefully while recalling the information in the novel'
At first I thought that my information are useless but after a while, I noticed something.
Muttering in a low voice I said "Hmm? this description is familiar"
{ request No.12. Looking for the identity of a bald man with wing shaped tattoos in his back, one of the wings is cut in half and some demonic skull behind the wings. The mans strength is that of an A rank, any information regarding this individual will heftily be payed. If the location is provided the price will be a minimum of 500 thousand gold coins}
Isn't this the tattoo of the retribution order? Who is looking for them?
Retribution order was a villain group of fanatics that worships a powerful demon, and they wish for earth to be destroyed. For now they are building their own strength while hiding. The man described was an S rank villain that was known for his uncontrollable tendencies.
Are they still building their strength? Hold on… If I somehow hinder their growth can I stop them from summoning that terrifying demon?!
Ezec, a Demon general with the strength of S rank peak level. A very difficult demon to kill. If I somehow prevent him from getting summoned will ' She' Survive?
Well I'm not losing anything. Since I'm only doing a request by lexun, they will never know who exposed them.
After thinking carefully I replied " I would like to answer request number 12"
Amelia looked at the request and nodded her head then said " alright, would you like to contact the client directly or would you prefer keeping your identity hidden?"
" hidden "
" please wait a moment, I will be right back"
