I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse



But from his understanding of how merchants usually things did, there was one simple explanation for that. It was something that forced an evil smile over his face.

"So the two tigers are issuing their claws at each other, hahahaha!" He knew the only logical explanation for all this was for a big war to be about to start, one between the world's owners and the Hescos imperial forces.

This was something Hye wanted to see. And if that was true, then he'd not mind getting locked here.

"That's why they separated us then," Hye then thought about the green nymph lady. She was led away on the excuse of his need to be private. But that seems now to be a false reasoning.

He guessed what happened to her, partially. If he was in the shoes of the ones leading this world, then he'd interrogate this lady, using the fact that she was just a simple merchant and wouldn't hope to enter in such a complicated conflict with the owners of this world.

But they misunderstood something… She might be a merchant, might think and act like one, but she got a valuable deal with him. So even if they tried to tempt her with riches, even threatening her with harsh promises and dangers, she'd not expose him out.

Hye didn't know if she was going to sell him out or not, but he didn't care. Even if they learnt about him drawing the attention of Hescos towards them, it wasn't like he was the one behind the long and deep enmity between the two in the first place!

In fact he'd use this situation to his advantage, offer them his services and help in any means. He didn't hesitate to send her a message, one that didn't get an answer for.

"They must have blocked any means to communicate with her, amazing," he confirmed his early guesses, knowing that she was under heavy interrogation all this time.

He was right indeed. And he didn't know that by his message to that lady working as a call centre, he freed the lady green lymph from such a useless situation.

She didn't say anything useful, only saying that Hye was an old customer of hers. She was here to lead him across the universe, a paid service which she'd act as his guide or something.

The higher ups of this world didn't buy any of this. More news about the attack coming from the Bringold impact branch arrived to their ears as the lady nymph suspected. And yet none of what she said was false, none could be held against her or him.

She was smart to tell the truth and cover up anything about their real intentions of being here. They could only let her go, after discussing what they'd should do for a long hour.

"Sorry about that, Mr. Hye," just as Hye waited for one hour, pestering that call centre lady with many complaints, the door finally opened. A new face appeared there, one middle aged man, one who wore full body armour and seemed ready to go into battle at any moment.

He didn't give Hye any vibe of being a merchant. If any, he got the air of a ferocious army leader, a mighty general, one who lived through lots of battles and bathed in the blood of his enemies frequently.

"What's that for?" Even if he knew he wasn't part of the merchant family owning this place, Hye never showed a speck of change over his face. He just showed his disgruntled expression, one that could tell anyone how dissatisfied he was with such service and treatment.

"It's just something we had to do to keep our world safe," the general didn't hide the real intentions about what happened here, didn't even try to coat his words with anything.

And that just matched the idea of his identity in Hye's mind, confirmed by his next words.

"I'm Terrance, the leading general of the forces defending my world," he passed by Hye as if he didn't care about him in the slightest, "I care too much about the safety of my home, my people, and foremost the survivability of this place."

"And?" Hye turned to face this general, crossing his arms as if he didn't care about what he just said, "what's that related to me?"

"The Hescos are after you, are coming here for blood."

"I heard you have a death feud with them, it's not like I started all this."

"And I hope you aren't going to be the one to put an end to this," the general looked in silence towards Hye, glaring in a threatening way towards him.

"I'm not your enemy, I'm here just to do business."

"Or use us as a decoy to escape, right?" Terrance saw through him, as if his thoughts were this easy to read. Even if the general and others behind him already saw through his intentions and plans, he'd never show any change on his face.

"I know you are here for business…" Terrance paused, sized Hye up and down, "but are you a friend or not… That I can't tell."

"And I don't care about your opinion," Hye turned around, intending to leave.

"You didn't ask about your girlfriend!" Terrance tried to stop him by mentioning the lady green nymph. But Hye never paused for a single second in his track, walked calmly as he said:

"I know you are sure she isn't my girlfriend."

"Aren't you worried about her?" Terrance started to follow Hye, continuing to threaten him using the lady nymph.

"She belongs to a trading impact," Hye shrugged, without even turning to look at Terrance or anything, "even if her impact is weak, it can bring your reputation huge damage if you did anything to her. So be my guest and try to see how much you'll screw up your world."

*Phew!*

It seemed the last words of Hye touched a bitter nerve at Terrace. The latter flashed fast, standing in front of Hye, blocking his path forward.

"I don't tolerate threats."
