Pile of Letters

After Jasper left, Leus sighed

'Damn, and I thought I'll be rich!'

He grieved for the Gold that he wouldn't get ... for about a minute 

In all honesty, Leus didn't care that much.

'I need to become Elite, then if I want money, I can get a job'

'Money will be easy work once I'm powerful enough'

Right now, he had more important things to worry about 

Leus opened the mailbox, and what he saw inside made him instantly close it 

'SO MANY LETTERS!'

'What the heck? Am I a public figure? Why so many letters?'

There were at least 50 letters inside the mailbox 

'Yeah yeah, no way'

'I'm going to shower, eat, then see what's all this is about'

He stretched his body again and yawned 

'I need to sleep too'

Leus decided to start by requesting food, so he pressed the button that called for Servants

The moment his finger touched the button he heard a voice

"Hello, Young Lord, how can we help you today?"

'Damn, They're quick'

Leus asked in a polite tone

"Hello, I'd like to ask for food"

"Today's dish is (Cantonese Chicken and Salted Fish Fried Rice), would you like to eat that or should we prepare something else for you?"

Leus didn't know exactly what that was

'Chicken, fish, and rice, it will probably taste good'

"That'd work" He replied

But before he could hang up the servant asked him

"Young Lord, when can we clean your room? It hasn't been cleaned for a month"

"Oh ... can you clean it while I shower now?"

"Yes. By the time you're done, your food will be ready and the room will be cleaned, please keep the door open"

"I will, thank you"

"Happy to be at your service, Young Lord"

Leus hung up and then went to take a nice shower and change his clothes.

When he came out everything was ready like the servant said.

The room was cleaned, and the table covers and bed sheets were changed.

'These guys are perfect, I wonder if they accept tips'

'Too bad I'm too poor to give any ...'

Leus sat and removed the tray's lid

The food was basically a big plate of rice that had chicken and fish pieces in it

'It's still hot too, amazing'

The amount of rice was a lot more than what a single person would consume

'The chicken pieces too, it's like they cut an entire chicken just for my plate'

He took a bite and

'It's really delicious!'

Leus was quite hungry so he ate the entire plate.

'Who said it's more than what a single person can consume? Clearly I thought wrong, it's perfectly within the correct amount.'

On the tray, there was a big can of soda, Leus took it and got up

'Well now, time to check the big pile of Mail'

He removed his shirt, set the Jacuzzi settings for (warm water) and then brought all the letters and put them beside him

'This is life ...'

He began reading the letters one by one

Many letters were from Viorica, she was asking about his health and how his life was going and giving him news about the family

'So Merlin did go to the Capital huh'

He left for the Crimson Knight Academy a couple of weeks back.

As the family requested, the Mansion provided him with two Elite Knights as guards, one of them is an Inferno himself.

He will return home for two or three months every year and would at least spend three years in the Academy.

'I hope he achieves what he wants'

Other than that, nothing new really happened in the family, things were stable

'They also still didn't agree on my new sibling's name'

The only other thing worth noting is that Felix and Arleen have asked to meet him multiple times

'Oh well, maybe I'll go home soon ... honestly, I want to reach Elite first, but let's see'

After reading all of Viorica's letters, Leus put them aside and began reading the letters he got from the Slums.

Scar said that (His projects are almost completed)

'He's probably talking about the tunnels he's building everywhere, but he doesn't want to say it explicitly.'

Scar said that even if his projects are done he won't be leaving soon because he still has some things to do, like collecting more money and convincing Melisandre to leave with him.

Bones, Kyle, and Maxton sent their regards, and Maxton is asking him to visit them as soon as possible.

Bones explained that things are very stable in their territory and no one ever bothers them, his words were

(We've grown too powerful, only a combination of 5 to 6 strong gangs would be a threat to us, and even then it'd be a very difficult battle, I don't think that'd ever happen. We're safe for a long time.

Regardless, if something does happen, our defenses will hold out long enough to allow us to contact you. So forget about us and focus on whatever you are doing right now, we are fine Leus, thank you)

Leus felt happy reading that

'Everyone is fine and things are going well, life is pretty good'

All the important letters were over so he began skimming through the rest of the pile.

Many letters were from the Administration Department and they all contained the same message

(Respond to your mail!)

Leus found it funny

'I'm not replying to my mail, so they send more mail asking me to reply to the old mail huh? Nice logic'

But after thinking about it for a couple of seconds

'Didn't that guy say that I ignored their knocks too? Maybe they sent someone to knock on the door and I didn't hear them.'

He made a decision

'I'll try to keep an eye on my surroundings the next time I train, let's see how that works'

Then he pushed all these thoughts to the back of his mind and continued reading.

Some letters were (Special Missions)

Missions were basically a way of earning Points by doing quests or participating in contests.

The quests could be about anything, like searching for a person or a thing, collecting a certain item, hunting beasts from Guild missions, participating in some activity in the Guild, and so on.

'Interesting stuff, I'll try to do it later, I definitely need Points'

Some surprising letters came from Newspapers asking for interviews with him. Sadly, Leus immediately threw all of those to the side

'Now who would want that? Fame is a headache'

Only two letters were left, but they were different from the rest.

While all the letters were of the normal white color, these two were unique, that's why Leus left them to the end.

One was black and the other was red

'Hmm, Which to start with?
