Chapter 459 Chapter 459 An Early Dinner
"Of course! I have time to spare but... may i have the pleasure of knowing your names first?" Our bored gamer replied to this unexpected invitation.
He looked not at Lucas but paid much of his attention to the sexy lady beside the male agent. It did not need telling that Sophia was indeed a marvelous sight to behold at this time.
"I am Lucas Armstrong and this is my partner Sophia Patel. We are from a special section of the Empire Police called the Empire Correction Department.
You should have a clue already on why we are here." Lucas answered and his voice deepened slightly. It was obvious to see that our good gamer was in a whole lot of trouble today.
Alas, Clark merely smiled and nodded in nonchalance.
"I can guess. Please follow me then. Let's take this somewhere else." Our avid gamer said and then started walking unto a particular part of this hotel.
The two agents of justice took a significant pause before mirroring the steps of our very own protagonist.
With their worldwide scanning system in operation, Caden D. Stone would have to be pretty capable in order to escape their notice.
"I don't like it. He appears so calm before us." Sophia commented.
"Being an apprentice of Grand Master Azodus will do that to anyone." Lucas shrugged and started walking deeper into the hotel.
Before long, the two of them arrived in an eatery called The Grove. There were a few patrons and no entertainers on the stage at the center.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis would probably be more lively several hours from now when dinner time arrives.
Lucas could see that a young waitress has already received the meal orders from their very own fat target.
And judging from the excited face of the girl, she had indeed received a big customer at this time.
"You should have not bothered at all, Mr. Stone. We won't be staying for long." Lucas said the moment he sat down at the table.
He did not even do the usual gentle manners of pulling Sophia's chair for her since he knew that his partner was not a delicate flower in the garden.
"Ahhh... It's just money, Lucas. That thing is no object at all when one has enough of it already." Our bored gamer went for a first name basis as if he and Lucas were long time friends.
In fact, they could be considered as great acquaintances at this time judging on their recent exciting meetings.
Alas, it was sad to note that only our avid gamer has known of this fact amongst the three of them.
"So what brings the two of you here unto my humble abode?" Clark smiled as he ignored the hint of displeasure that passed briefly on the face of Mr. Lucas Armstrong.
"We are here about your questionable conduct earlier. Sixteen young kids suffered extreme injuries because of your doing. A few of them were even permanent ones.
This is a clear violation of the Empire Police Laws." Sophia replied for her partner and her lovely face was marred ugly by her prejudice.
"As long as nobody dies in Astro, a noble can get away scot-free if i remember correctly."
"This was stated by your very own Lord. I'm sorry to see you waste your time and mine but I merely served justice where justice is due. I see no wrong in doing that.
And those boys in your mouth are already 20 plus years old. They do not belong to the real innocents of this world."
Clark sighed and leaned back on his chair.
"CREAK!" The poor construct groaned in the immense weight of our bored gamer.
"A noble cannot put justice in his own hands. That is not your job, Mr. Stone." Lucas said in a hard voice in order to get his point across.
Unfortunately, our bored gamer simply shook his head in disagreement.
"I look around me and witness how some nobles prey on the weak.
They kidnap and take advantage of the mortals of this world and yet where were the two of you when all of this was happening?
From the looks of it, I seem to have much more freedom in policing what's right and fair than those of you who pledged to do this job in the first place. Isn't that ironic?"
Clark gave a sad smile and gazed at the speechless visitors before him. A good example for this case was the old dragon that his true body was busy consuming, digesting, and refining even now.
That evil being lured and kidnapped young girls into prostitution. And not only ones or twos but many and in loads.
This was the reason why that dragon's clubs and properties were very popular in Astro.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"..." A full minute of silence elapsed before Lucas stood up to conclude this meeting. He did not want to admit it but he liked this new apprentice of the grand master.
Others who have come before Caden D. Stone lived a life of seclusion and endless practice thereafter.
Lucas could only imagine the vast knowledge that Grand Master Azodus could impart unto his disciples.
Although there were rumors running around that this fat young college student has rejected the willing guidance of the grand master but only a fool would believe that.
Lucas was well aware of how exceedingly versed our bored gamer was already in the field of myriad magics based on how he accomplished the gruesome beating earlier.
To this, this good agent Lucas can only express his admiration in silence.
"Thank you for your time, Mr. Stone. Please enjoy your early dinner." Lucas muttered and it was surprising to see that he had a genuine smile on his face right now.
Though it only lasted for a fleeting second but that was more than enough to deliver a subtle message unto our very sharp gamer.
"We are watching you, Mr. Stone. Tread carefully from now on." Sophia remained a professional all throughout and this act has only made our very own protagonist smile wider.
'It seems like the roles of these agents have been reversed at this moment.' Clark thought and replied no more to the busy merchants of justice.

"Are you expecting company, Sir Caden?" The beautiful young waitress asked after the food had been delivered in full.
The large table was filled with all kinds of dishes but it was strange to see that our avid gamer was all alone at this time.
"They have already left me, Laura. Would you be kind enough to join me for dinner?"
