CHAPTER 42 – Luna Tuner.
CHAPTER 42 – Luna Tuner.
Luna Turner is a famous S-ranked Raider from Orange Country. She is one of the strongest raiders in the world while also holding the unofficial title of second-strongest raider in Orange County.
She is someone so strong that even Stephan would have to act fast if he were to fight her, and all of this was not some baseless rumor, as she was really strong.
Her fame, however, was not just because of this, as she was also said to be the most beautiful woman in the world.
She had that seductive and autoreactive charm that attracted many men, and while many tried pursuing her, all of them were rejected.
With her distinctive pink hair and pink eyes, she had a thin, sharp nose and cherry-red lips. She had a perfect round ass and medium-sized, modest breasts.
Her figure was provocative to the extreme, something that tested every man's control just by looking at her body. Her dress only made it harder for people to look away from her, as she wore tantalizing dresses.
She exuded an aura of seduction and authority, which made people love and respect her.
Some people were so in love with her that they even tried assaulting her, but who was she?
Those people were made an example for the public to know the consequences of trying the same thing.
However, just like Stephan, her abilities were unknown as well.
People still speculated many things and the one that was the most suited to her skill while being believable was that she could stun her enemies, while she killed them with her whip-like sword.
Now people would think – What's so good about her ability? To answer that question, let's not forget that she is an S-ranked Raider and when one reaches that level, every second counts.
If you were to lose focus for even a second then your enemy would not let that chance go and in a situation like that, she could easily kill her enemies by stunning them.
As for the lower ranks, there was no need for her to even use her ability as she could defeat them with her physical strength and fighting techniques alone.
Because of her strength and reputation, she was elected as the manager of the auction.
She was just a 'normal' woman in her mid-20s before the gates appeared, and no one knows how, but she became one of the leaders of the Raider Association just a month after the association was established.
Right now, she was sitting in her office, doing her work as she always did. Even if the process of how she got her position was unknown, everyone in the Association knew how much importance she placed on her work.
She is said to be so devoted to her work that she would leave no stone unturned if even an F-rank item went missing.
Her day was passing just like every day, which she appreciated as she wanted her days to go on just like this, but then suddenly….
*Knock*
A single knock was heard and then her office's door opened without waiting for her response which made her eyes turn sharp.
But just as she looked for the person who was responsible for it, she found the place empty, implying that the door opened on its own and this revelation tensed her body.
Her body tensed not because she thought that it might be a ghost but because she thought that it was someone who could escape her senses.
"Who are you? Come out now," She demanded in a commanding voice, though it felt like a sweet melody. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
"…." There was no answer.
When she knew that the intruder had no thoughts of revealing themselves, she swiftly moved her hands under the table, ready to press the emergency button to warn the people outside.
She knew that whoever the intruder was, they were good enough to fool the cameras and the guards, which showed how capable they were, and she didn't want to take risks, so it was better to have a backup.
She did all this knowing full well that if the attacker could defeat her, then there was no way more people would do any better, at least not until the person she called for was stronger than her.
Unfortunately, she knew that there was no one else stronger than her present here, but she still wanted to call for the guards. Even if they could do nothing, they could still buy some time for her if they used their lives to stop the intruder.
But just as she was about to press the button, her hands stopped moving—no, her whole body stopped moving.
It wasn't that she couldn't move, not at all; she could move just fine, but she was too shocked to move as she felt something grand.
It was as if there was a divine presence right in front of her, but she still couldn't see anyone.
However, the next second, she heard an enchanting male voice.
"You will not press the button, right?" She snapped her head in the direction of the voice, and then she saw them.
There were three people in total who were present in her room other than her. The three of them were sitting on the sofa that was for guests to sit on and chat with her.
The one who spoke was the only guy among the three, and he was wearing a golden mask with some intricate designs on it.
Right now, he was hugged by the other two members, who were clearly girls.
From the way the girls were clinging to him, it was clear that they were lovers, and from the dynamic between them, it was clear that the guy was the leader.
But she wasn't able to focus on the girls, or it was better to say she had all her attention on the guy.
Not because he seemed to be the leader among them, not because he was the one who spoke, and not because of the fact that he could most likely be someone who could be here to kill her.
She was staring at him absentmindedly, as she felt that the guy was a divine being.
She did not think that because of his looks, even though she could somehow tell that the one in front of her was very handsome.
She felt her blood boil in excitement when she was with him; he felt like someone who was very high for her to reach.
"You are not, right?" She was a little shaken, but she still nodded her head and moved her hand away when she heard him repeat the question.
She didn't want to deny any of his requests or orders; she felt like she should just do whatever he asked for, even if it was to kill herself.
"Good. I have something that I would like for you to sell at the next auction. Could you do that for me?" The guy asked again, and Luna nodded her head again and moved towards him.
When she arrived in front of him, her eyes inadvertently moved towards the girls who were hugging the guy from both sides. She felt envious of them, but she also felt that she was not worthy of that position, so she just stood in front of the man with her head bowed.
"Please make yourself comfortable." Luna nodded and sat on the sofa adjacent to the three of them.
"What would you like to sell, sir?" She respectfully asked, as she didn't get what the guy's name was.
"You can call me Monarch." The guy spoke mysteriously.
Luna just nodded her head, even though she could tell that it was not the guy's true name.
She was just thinking about what it was that an entity like him wanted to sell, who he was, and whether he was a Raider. If he was, then how was he still unknown?
She knew that he was not a famous Raider, as she had already met all of them in gatherings that happened from time to time.
She knew that she shouldn't think of this, but she wanted to know more about the person in front of her.
She wanted to help him to the best of her abilities, so she focused on what he wanted to sell, and the next series of her reactions were not much different from what a normal Raider would show if they saw those items.
After all, the guy was Alex, and the things he brought with him were not just the mana core.
He brought along some other drops as well, but none of them were something that could not be found in many gates, even though they were rare.
There were some other items that the guy bought with him, such as the Orc chief's great sword and the Orc chief's armor; they were B-ranked items, which were pretty much treated as top-quality items.
But he didn't take them out right now, as his plans were different for those items. As for what the plans were, well, let's let time do its job.
