My Celestial Ascension

"It's done. They should arrive here by midnight. I should get some rest before they come here." He then rose and walked out of the restaurant after paying his bill; no one noticed anything unusual about him, and the people soon forgot he was even there.

As soon as the man left the small restaurant, everyone looked at each other with confusion as though they'd forgotten something and couldn't remember what it was.

"What are we doing like this? Why can't I remember anything?" One of the servers of the restaurant mumbled in a confused tone, looking at everyone with a confused look on his face.

"You...You just served food to someone a moment ago...where did that person go?" Another worker looked at the surroundings with a confused look on his face.

Not only the restaurant staff but also the guests became very confused, and they also couldn't remember what happened a moment ago, it was all fuzzy.

"I feel like I have forgotten something just now..."

"I also feel the same...I couldn't even remember what I ate a moment ago. I only know that I ate something but don't know what it was... strange..."

"This is really confusing...I can't even remember why I was here..."

At the same time, the restaurant owner stared at the five shiny silver coins on the counter with a strange look on his face as he couldn't remember who paid the money.

"Strange...very strange, why can't I remember who paid the bill?"

The owner scratched the back of his head in confusion, trying hard to remember the face of the person who paid the money but no matter how hard he tried he couldn't remember it.

"Before I was hesitant to spend my precious gold coins to buy information about the targets. But now...it seems that I don't have any other choices." The man spoke to himself as he walked through the dark and gloomy street which was very empty, filled with garbage and rotten smell.

"It's about time I give a visit to Lisa after so long, I wonder how she is doing these days." A smirk appeared on his face and increased his pace.

A few minutes later, the man arrived at a street filled with many women showing their seductive bodies to attract customers, and the smell of strong alcohol and passion filled the entire street.

This is one of the red-light districts of the common realm. In this place, there are many bars selling alcohol and as well as providing women to relieve stress.

Most of the women who work here are illegal slaves who were sold by the bandits, who captured them after looting and destroying their village, killing their families.

Since they put a slave collar on their necks, they can't do anything and have to obey the orders of the person who owns them. The worst part is that they can't die even if they want to, the slave collar won't let them suicide.

A minute later, he arrived at a large building where many beautiful women were standing at the entrance showcasing their seductive figures.

"If I remember correctly, this is where I'll meet Lisa...I wonder if she is still in business." He walked into the building with an enthusiastic look on his face.

The women tried to seduce him, but he was uninterested; he ignored them as if their beauty was insufficient to entice him, and entered the building with a serene expression on his face.

Inside the building, many people were drinking while watching a few gorgeous women entertain them with their nude bodies; some of them were dancing as they enticed the opposing genders, causing them to buy more beverages.

Seeing the man entering the bar, the woman suddenly came to him and tried to seduce him as well, and asked him if he wanted to have fun with them.

But the man smiled calmly before shaking his head, indicating that his objective in coming here was not to have fun but to conduct important business.

However, the women did not give up on him because the clothing he was wearing was made of high-quality silk, which only the wealthy could purchase.

Why don't you wish to spend some quality time with us? If you're interested, we can do a threesome." A woman remarked in a sultry voice, pressing her body against the man.

The other ladies did the same thing, hoping to arouse the man's desire for them. What drew them in was the man's well-built body, and they were confident that he would last much longer in bed than the regulars they saw every day.

The man's expression turned a little angry at the women's behavior, and with a cold voice, he said, "Stop touching me with your disgusting hands you bitches! And tell me where Lisa is!"

As soon as the women heard the word 'Lisa', they looked at the man with surprised looks on their faces, wondering who this man was and how he knew their Madam.

'Who the hell is this guy? How does he know about Madam Lisa? I have to immediately inform Madam about this man.' the group of women thought, and their expression turned very serious.

One of the women suddenly left the scene, she ran quickly to inform their Madam, who owns this building and is the one running this business.

A few minutes later, the woman returned and approached the man, whispering in a low voice that only he could hear.

"Madam is waiting upstairs, she wants to meet you."

"Lead the way." The man nodded and replied with a smirk on his face, which no one saw because it was hidden by a mask.

The woman then led him to the next floor, where he might see Lisa, as she mentioned that their 'Madam' wanted to meet him.

A few minutes later, they arrived in a room with magic lamps installed, and a woman with a seductive figure was sitting on a very wonderful plush sofa, in a seductive position that caused the man to swallow his saliva.

As soon as the man arrived, the woman immediately raised her eyebrows seeing the golden skull embalm on the man's robe, behind the mask her expression turned a little nervous seeing the embalm.

After all, who doesn't know about the 'Golden Skull' organization? Even a three-year-old kid knows about this terrifying organization.

'What is a member of the 'Golden Skull' doing in my establishment? What kind of trouble have I brought upon myself?' The woman cried inwardly.

"Hey Lisa, how have you been these days?" The man casually sits on another sofa, a wide grin across his face.

''Wait, this voice? I feel like I have heard it before... Isn't this voice quite similar to Trevor's? Is he possibly Trevor? But how is this possible? When did he join this deadly organization?' The woman looked at the man, surprised.

The man saw through her mask, and said, "You don't need to act so surprised, Lisa. It's really me, Trevor. The same Trevor you once knew."

"H-How...When did you become one of them? I'm surprised." The woman, Lisa asked him with a disbelieving look on her face.

"Well, after I left the Kingdom a lot of things happened." He smiled at her and said. "And on a fateful day, I helped a high-

ranking member of the 'organization' and later he offered me to join them after witnessing my awesome strength."

He continued, "And once I joined them, I received a powerful mana circulation method from the organization which improved my strength very quickly, and after proving my worth to the organization I became a very important member of the organization."

Lisa continued to sit on her sofa comfortably and listened to Trevor's story very intently, as even a fraction of the knowledge possessed by him would fetch a thousand gold coins.

"You won't believe what kind of things I've witnessed within the organization, even if I tell you, you won't believe me. Everything I've seen there would change your view about the entire world." He said a moment later, with a wide grin behind his mask.

Lisa crossed her legs and with a calm voice, she asked, "Why are you telling me all this, Trevor? I know that you're here for something, why don't you come to the point and stop wasting my time?"

"Haha, as expected of you, Lisa. You didn't change at all even after all those years, you don't like wasting your time."

"Wasting my time means I'm losing my opportunity to make some money." She responded nonchalantly.

"Yes, money... I forgot that you value nothing more than money in your life..." He grinned briefly before turning serious and saying, "I'm looking for information about a group of people who just arrived here."

"Oh, so let me guess, you couldn't find their whereabouts and come here to ask for my help, didn't you?" She asked with a cheeky grin on her lips, as the answer was too clear for her to guess.

Lisa has been in this line of work for a long time, and it is very easy for her to estimate what her client wants from her, it is all about money; the more money she receives, the more accurate the information she provides.

"So, I assure you that you do have a description of the people you're looking for and what are their names, right?"

"Isn't it obvious?" He looked at him with a smile and continued, "Well, the guy I'm looking for is really handsome, perhaps too handsome, and he is usually surrounded by a stunning group of beauties wherever he goes."

"And I heard he was talking a lot on the streets this afternoon." He said afterward.

"I see... So you are looking for them." She whispered quietly, a shocked expression on her face.

Trevor's eyes glittered briefly after hearing the small whisper, and he inquired, "So you know about them?"
