BXBX NOVEL Chapter 71 A Strange Man
"Huh?" Benimaru became dumbfounded hearing that he couldn\'t believe the reason for all this was none other than his daughter.
However, Benimaru quickly recomposed, as he knew he had gotten to the bottom of this. Benimaru asked curiously and with a bit of enthusiasm. "Care to tell me the reason? I do know Princess Ana is very good and has a lot of potential, but that shouldn\'t be enough for people to be like this."
The reception girl shook her head, denying Benimaru\'s claim. "Guest, you are wrong. That is the real reason all of them are coming here. You see, princess Ana defeated prince Troy, the sixth son of the Duke Bilovar."
Benimaru and others were shocked to hear that. Benimaru knew about the power a duke wielded, and he had explained it to his generals. So, everyone could imagine the feat Ana accomplished to defeat the offspring of such a powerhouse.
\'As expected of my daughter.\' The next moment, Benimaru\'s face turned into ecstasy, and he appeared proud, which stupefied the reception girl.
"Ahem, sir." Suddenly, the reception girl coughed, trying to bring back Benimaru from his dreams.
Benimaru snapped out of his stupor and looked at the girl before him. "Sorry about that. I was just thinking of what could have happened if I had a daughter like her. Huh~ Unfortunate."
Almost, a chuckle escaped from Ravenna\'s mouth after she heard what Benimaru said and the disappointed face he made. Because she knew the truth, and it felt very funny to her.
However, Fiain and especially the reception girl didn\'t know about that. So, she decided to comfort Benimaru, saying, "Sir, you do not have to be worried as I can feel the misses with you will surely bear a strong child for you."
"Uh-" Dumbfounded, pure dumbfounded. Benimaru wasn\'t expecting such words to come out of her.
Hearing this made Ravenna\'s face flush red like a tomato, and she felt thousands of butterflies flying in her mind. On the other hand, Fiain appeared to be confused, not understanding what the girl implied as she had no knowledge about human reproduction.
Benimaru let out a helpless sigh, deciding to forget about this. \'Well, she is still young. It is normal for her to say anything they deem right.\'
"Miss, you should just tell us where Chief Blarg\'s office is and notify us when the other party is done." Benimaru said, rubbing his forehead.
The reception girl knew she had said something wrong, so she quietly wiped her sweat and said. "Sure, sir. Chief Blarg\'s office is on the third floor, room number 302. Until the other gues-"
"Oh." The reception girl suddenly paused as she noticed someone through the corner of her eyes who were the first guests. "Sir, they had just left, you can go meet up with Chief Blarg now."
"Thank you, and I wish Miss to be careful." Benimaru left, but not before nodding his head to the girl.
"Hehe.. I will." The reception girl nodded heavily and bowed her head a little. \'I made so many mistakes in the first couple months of my job. I am sooo idiot…\'
While the girl was contemplating about herself, Benimaru was already close to the staircase.
But before coming close to it, his eyes met with those of a man who was passing by him with two guards protecting him.
Benimaru was always on alert for his surroundings and would keep a watch on the people around him. Most of the time, nothing would capture his eyes, but for some reason, there was something about the man beside him that attracted him.
The man had neck-length blonde hair that didn\'t flutter in the air. He had a pair of green eyes and a smile that would melt anyone\'s heart. He was wearing a light yellow coat with green borders, but that wasn\'t able to hide his finely toned muscles; instead, it helped to enhance them. He had a long saber by his waist that was sleeping inside a white scabbard.
However, none of these caught Benimaru\'s eye except his smile. He felt there was something deep hidden in that smile, and it was so familiar to him.
It wasn\'t only Benimaru\'s eyes that caught the blonde-haired man\'s, but the opposite too. The man\'s eyes landed on Benimaru\'s, making them halt in their steps.
They both stood silently and looked at each other. They didn\'t utter anything, but their eyes seemed to tell many stories.
Ravenna, Fiain, and the man\'s guards were confused and finally alerted, as they felt something might happen at any moment.
The man caught the sight of this, and the attention their stare-down was bringing from the surrounding. He quickly greeted Benimaru with his usual smile and pushed his right hand forward along with it. "Nice to meet you, fellow sir. I am Okarino Belogeuch, owner of All Peoples."
Benimaru also put a smile on his face and shook hands with Okarino. "I am Benimaru, owner of Heaven\'s High."
Okarino put on a surprised face and said it with astonishment. "What a bold and arrogant name! Mister Benimaru seems to be someone with high vision."
"No, no, no." Benimaru also put on a front, just like Okarino, and his was humble. "I just gave that name to catch everyone\'s attention, nothing much. But you, on the other hand, have a name that shows you love everyone, no matter their origin. You know we businessmen are known as scumbags who only seek money, which is kind of true, but just from the name of your shop, I can see the goal and vision, and for that, you have my respect."
"Hahaha, it\'s nothing." Okarino shook his head, not wanting to elaborate much further, and Benimaru also didn\'t push him.
Instead, Beinmaru said. "Mister Okarino, you caught my attention the second you appeared on this floor, and another reason was that the aura you possessed was something only worthy of a meeting with Chief Blarg."
"You flatter me too much." Okarino became a bit embarrassed.
"You deserve it, and I just wanted to ask, is Chief Blarg soft? Will he let me open a shop in this city easily?" Benimaru whispered, asking curiously.
Okario just shook his head and smiled. "You worry too much, mister Benimaru. This city is in dire need of an influx of money, and for that, foreign goods are necessary and must be sought. It will help them attract people from the surrounding area and easily increase its popularity. So, you can be sure, you will get the deal done."
"I see. Thank you for the help." Benimaru nodded his head and left while waving his hand. "We will meet again, Mr. Okarino, and I hope you have success in your business."
Okarino didn\'t say much, but he nodded his head and waved back. After Benimaru\'s group was finally gone from Okarino\'s viewpoint, his face changed drastically and went stern. "Quickly find information about him. I can\'t sense his powers properly, and something about him seems wrong."
"Yes, sir." The guards behind him nodded their heads and followed Okarino out of the building.
Meanwhile, Benimaru was having his own thoughts about the incident. \'What was that? I couldn\'t sense his powers, and the system also didn\'t notify me about him. This only happens when someone is special or stronger than me. No matter what the case might be, this is bad for me. Especially if he tries to be my enemy.\'
Suddenly, Ravenna asked. "Benimaru, what was that? Is there something wrong with that man?"
"Yes." Benimaru nodded his head and explained everything to them.
Just right after Benimaru finished his explanation, Fiain began to say. "Lord, I was not able to see his future. This only happened with the Lord and the generals. But it isn\'t like I can\'t fully see yours. I can just see a fraction of the generals, but I have yet to see the Lord\'s. It also happened with that man."
Fiain was still young and had yet to master her own way of speaking, so it sounded not too appealing. However, it was enough for Benimaru and Ravenna.
"Your words made the belief I have in him become stronger." Benimaru said, rubbing his chin.
At that moment, they had arrived at Chief Blarg\'s office. Benimaru first gave a knock, after which an answer came out. "Come in."
Benimaru opened the door and entered a basic-looking office that had a wooden desk with papers jumbled on it, one pair of sofas, one book shelf, and some other necessities.
Benimaru\'s eyes landed on the man who was sitting behind the desk.
He was a man who looked to be in his thirties. He had short black hair and rectangle shaped spectacles sitting on his nose. He had a rollie-finger-type mustache that was a bit short.
The man stood up and enthusiastically said it with a hearty smile. "Welcome to Migotanie City, guests. I am Blarg, chief of commerce for this city. Can you quickly tell me about your business so that I can sign it quickly?"
