Mc’s not part of the story

Chapter 36: ERA

Toronto, Canada.

Kyle is inside an office. He's talking to a middle age man who's wearing a business suit.  The business man stares at him curiously.

"You said that you have a good business offer? However I don't know you?"

Smith Tremblay. Chairman of a Pharmaceutical Company is facing the 4th strongest Hunter of the Earth.

"Nice to meet you Chairman. My name is Kyle Rockwell. I'm asking for a possible business partnership, how about it? "

".. And? Why did you suddenly brake in to my office? I believe we have a strong security... You're a Hunter, am I right?"

Mister Smith touches his chin sharply gazing at him. 

"Yes. I'm a Hunter. I visit you to know if you want to partake in my soon-to-be business dealings. You see, Earth is facing a new era. Do you wanna be a part of it?"

"Tell me"

Kyle starts to talk. 

"Items, Equipment, potions, monster meat-"

"I already know about this things. If you don't have any important thing to say, you can get out of here. I'm busy- "

The business man waves his hand gesturing him to stop. Yet, Kyle continues his talking. 

"Then, how about the cure for Cancer or STD. That every six months around 500,000 people will become Hunters. Do you know about that? I'm sure you don't"

"Hahahaha now we're talking! What do you want?"

The old man grins.

"50%"

"... Convince me"

"Yes Chairman"

Kyle is now facing another war. Money and economic power. Money can control many things.  He needs money and everyone does, but he don't have it. That's why he is asking Smith Tremblay to be his partner. This old man will become a Billionaire. 

The company that Chairman Smith will build, New World Pharmaceutical or NWP will become the most famous and prominent company of the world.

They will produce the best potions and equipments around the world. Their products are world class Items. They found the cure for Cancer and other incurable diseases. His company builds many top notch equipment. 

That's why Kyle is using this knowledge. The knowledge that he learned from many discoveries that NWO found and invented. He will ride the flow to become rich. 

(Let's say, I'll give to you what you already have. ) He says inside his mind. 

"If everything that you're saying is true then I'll gladly accept your offer. However, the 50-50 shares won't do. How about a 70-30 deal?"

Smith shake his head. 

"Hahahaha. Since you don't want. That's fine. I can ask the Apple or perhaps Facebook, maybe Pfizer too. I'm sure they will accept this deal.  Okay good bye. It's unfortunate but I guess I'll leave-"

"Wait! I accept it! We can do the contract now"

The old man shouts and his back is sweating. 

"I'm sorry but I change my mind. 60-40, then we'll have deal"

"......"

.....

.

"Kuku if you don't want to, then okay. "

Kyle come out of the office. Chairman Smith didn't accept his offer, they didn't come to an understanding and just talk about the contract and agreement stipulations. Therefore, Kyle decide to leave. 

"I can build a company on my own. I'm confident about that. I'm promise that it's better than yours. "

While he walks. He uses his smartphone to find the others. In this time, internet is already part of daily lives. 

He opens the Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and any platform that uses social media. Except for Lane (perhaps she doesn't use her real name or her parents forbid her from using web), he finds all of his member. He send friend requests or follow requests to each of them. 

*wiiishh wiiisshhh*

When he's walking. He feels an aura nearby.

"... A dungeon appeared"

A Portal is appearing at the top of a commercial building. It has a yellowish color.

"2nd level huh. Well I'm actually bored. I guess I'll burn some calories and I can sell all of the Item drops I can get. I'm currently broke... I used my whole savings buying an illegal gun. "

He enters the Portal. 

*boom!*

As a welcome gesture. He gives them an Orb Beam.

"I'm glad that you're safe. When I found out that your City received a Monster Wave. I quickly used my car and drove here... "

"Hahahaha. Don't worry I'm Okay . You see I'm now living here in Laguna. Our house was destroyed... So anyway we are staying here in our Grandparents house. 

"You're not even online, I sent a message to your account but you never saw it. I thought something bad happen to you. "

Miriam pouts, she glares at Mikael. 

"I'm actually busy, I don't have time to surf the internet. "

Mikael slightly laughs and scratches his head. 

"Um excuse me . Miss would you like some juice? Please forgive my brother for being an idiot, he always plays hard to get. I actually don't know why many girls like him. "

"Hey! I'm your Kuya! At least show some respect "

The two are arguing. This is their daily routines. Whenever they have time they always make fun of each other. You can say that it's their way of bonding.  

"Kuya. Your gf was worried about you. You should've texts her but you did not!!  See, she even followed you here in Laguna. Say you're sorry!"

Klein sneers while he puts the drinks on the table. 

"You crazy!? I'm not her bf.  Miriam has a boyfriend, they love each other!!"

"Oh that. We broke up. I saw him cheating, so I punch his face... I should have kicked his balls. "

Miriam sighs when she remembers her ex. 

"What!? You said he was a good guy!? Let's go, show me his picture and if I'll find him I'll smash his face!! How dare he hurt my sister Miriam who is like my family!!"

"Hahaha don't you worry. If I see him again I'll tell you"

The two talks for a while before turning to the serious topic. The Dungeon raid.

"So you want to kill those monsters"

"Yes. I want them to die, I wanna see them suffer. I will not stop until they are extinct. "

"I'm in"

Mikael smiles when he hears her affirmation. 

"Hm? You are? Okay, we can use your Clairvoyance "

"Wait, wait a minute!! Kuya what are you talking about!? I know you're a Hunter but it's impossible to kill a millions of ants. That's a suicide!!!!"

The little brother shouts when he thinks that their conversations are going to a dangerous topic. 

"Hahahahaha what are you talking about little kid. Did Mikael didn't tell you that he is the Rank 1 of Punishment? Those insects can't even hurt us!! We fought stronger monsters in the Punishment, those ants were nothing! "

"B- but!! I don't want to!"

Klein shake his head, how can he let his brother to go there and face millions of monsters?

"Klein. Do you wanna avenge our parents?"

"...I, yes I want revenge."

He pause, yet he clenches his fist. He remembers how his parents died, he wants to see the ants suffer.

"The I'll do it. I'll show you how those monsters will die. I promise you. "

He pats his brother's head to assure that he will exact their revenge.

Miriam puts her drink and look at her friend. 

"By the way Mikael, what rewards did you get? I'm curious what Item our Rank 1 received."

"Hehe about that. You'll see it soon. "

Mikael smiles showing his teeth.
