Omega Summoner

Adrian safely returned to the inn with the other two, but they also noticed that they were being followed. It seems that they are more secretive than Nikita thought they are. Adrian is sure that the ones following him do not harbor ill intent and are only checking if he would probably tattle about their gatherings.

"It seems that one of them returned upon seeing you enter the inn. The one who remained seemed to be observing if you do anything while staying here." Solstice stated.

"I should show them that I will leave this village tomorrow. I think I overused this face too much that they might mistake the real owner of this face for me." Adrian stated as he worried that an innocent NPC would become hurt because of him.

"You do not have to worry much about the person that I took the hair strand from as he is the son of the chief of knights." Lycan stated as he noticed that Adrian is worried about the person whom he borrowed the face from would get in trouble.

"Nevertheless, what did you find out? We just got a notification that we cleared the first part of the mission." Lycan added.

"Yeah, you barely talked to the alpha. You even cleared the first part before speaking to the alpha. What did you even see?" Solstice asked as she was paying attention the whole time that Adrian was there in the gathering.

"I found out something more troublesome than an alpha that wants to wipe out vampires." Adrian replied.

"Well, spill it! We need to hear the details before lunch time. It seems that Grandpa is here thanks to someone inviting him." Solstice stated.

"Ohh! I have this od feeling that Grandpa is not a stranger at all. It feels like I met him a couple of times even though I only met him on my birthday. Anyways, the other Alpha's name is Eirene. She is an Alpha but not really a werewolf." Adrian stated.

"How can she be an Alpha if she is not even a werewolf. Even I am confused, can you please elaborate?" Lycan stated in a confused tone as only werewolves can possess the Alpha title other than wolf monsters.

"She is like me. She is borrowing the body of that Alpha except she does not use an item like me. She is the real deal. A Faceless One and a high level one at that. Only Faceless Ones could perfectly mimic another person." Adrian stated in a deep tone to increase the suspense.

"So, the real Eirene could still be alive?" Lycan asked as he only supplied a strand of hair in order for Adrian to transform.

"She is most likely dead already. The faceless ones do not transform into someone who is still alive from wat I know because I have seen the rituals they have done. They offer up the bodies of someone to an altar and this odd thing would consume it whole. Scary stuff if you ask me." Adrian replied.

"Makes sense that the real Eirene is no longer alive. It would be a risk for them if someone powerful is under their noses or rather featureless faces." Solstice added.

"I only wanted to prove that another alpha is after the duke and plotting against the vampires, but it suddenly became more of a headache." Lycan stated as he felt drained just from imagining the immense headache that he will encounter.

"Welcome to my world. This is the reason why I did not want to come here in the first place. Someone just promised me something which is why I came here." Adrian muttered as he fell backwards on the bed.

"Hey! You said that you need funds for creating your village. You must promise to help us until the end, or I will not give you any money." Solstice warned Adrian.

"Yes…I will hold up my end of the bargain but why do I feel like I am losing out on this deal." Adrian muttered quietly to himself.

"You let your brother extort money from you like that? I am pretty sure that he has a lot of money from getting quest exclusive items. Why do you need to pay him? Is there no sense of gratefulness from taking care of him when he was small?" Lycan asked Solstice but it was Adrian who replied.

"Huhuhu! From the words of my great stingy sister, 'Never let yourself be extorted for free. You must always say your price upfront whenever someone is in need of your service'. In this case, it is your quest. My time is not free especially now as I am very busy. Also, she is also going to get something out of this deal." Adrian stated.

"I will get 20% of all the earnings that his village will get. I am basically a stock owner." Solstice stated as she made a money hand sign.

"What about you? Do you want to invest in my village? I can give you 10% of the total earnings if you become an investor today. I will only offer this to you once so better think about it while I am still tagging along in your mission." Adrian stated as he also made a money hand sign with his right hand.

"I cannot believe this two. I totally forgot that my own girlfriend is a business tycoon and retired early from working life." Lycan thought as he shook his head.

"So, what are we going to do with this Faceless One then?" Lycan asked.

"What do you mean by the word we? I am only tagging until this mission. The mission given to us is not even a chain mission so it would immediately end once we report it. All the troublesome stuff would be passed onto you." Adrian stated.

"But you said that you will help us until the end?" Lycan asked.

"I did because this mission has not ended yet, so I am at your service until this mission ends." Adrian stated with a sneaky laugh.

"Are you going to accept this?" Lycan asked Solstice but she was already brooding over it.

"I see. I guess I should have worded the contract much better. It seems that he noticed that this is not a chain mission. I only hired him for this mission and the clause that I put included chain missions. I cannot believe that I was outwitted by my own brother. Have I gone soft since I no longer make investments?" Solstice muttered to herself.

"Anyways, I can still help you if I feel like it but the initial investment needs to be adjusted. Kekeke" Adrian stated.
