Chapter 71: The Permission Slip

The shark tribe was ongoing their construction. They were building many houses for them to live in. Their village was still low on their numbers, but for now, their survival was ensured.

Currently, Ono was sitting and the chief was holding a stick with a sharp end to it. The chef started to use the stick to create tattoos on Ono's body.

"Are you sure about this Ono?"

"Please chief.."

The chief started to create a few drawings on Ono's back. It was a simple drawing with the sea and their apostle shark on it, Ono's back was bleeding as Kamu continued to create the tattoos.

Maki was sitting down beside the mama shark.

"Truly Maki this child will be an amazing one."

"You think so, Cora? I do hope that this child grows just like his father. Strong, responsible, and someone who values the village.."

"Surely you love your husband too much...hah my children take after their father too much.."

Cora was the name given to the mother shark.

...

"Ah, that was a good night's sleep, it's been too long since I ever slept like that!"

Cedric woke up and immediately got ready for his work, as Cedric finished getting ready he started to walk in the direction of his workplace.

Cedric opened his phone, and numerous notifications flooded him. Cedric tapped on Metube and he widened his eyes seeing the amount of likes and views. In just one day the video grossed over 40 million views and it kept increasing!

"What the heck?"

Cedric immediately went inside the shop.

"Elias have you seen this-"

"You quite early that's strange..."

The old man was sitting on the counter.

"Where is Elias boss?"

"My grandson is off to the city, he had some business to do."

"Oh"

Meanwhile, Elias and Layla were standing in front of a huge warehouse. The building was huge, and numerous people were walking inside the building.

"Hah... let's go"

Elias followed Layla as they went inside the building, they headed to the counter where a woman was sitting with a smile on her face

"Welcome to the Awakeners Association, How can I help you today?"

"I want to obtain a permit for my new machine.."

"I understand Can you hand me your awakener association ID?"

Layla handed the ID and the woman on the counter smiled sluggishly at her.

"Hello Ms. Everina, it's nice to see you. Here's the permission slip, and may I ask if the gentleman behind you is an acquaintance of yours?"

"Yes"

The lady gave them both a permission slip, and the two were standing in front of the elevator.

"It has been a long time since I entered this place"

Elias looked around the huge building.

"Yeah, the last time you entered this place was when we were building the security system of your company.."

"Yeah.."

The two entered the elevator.

[Please show your permission slip]

The two showed their slip, and the system scanned their permission slip, after it was scanned The door of the elevator shut and the elevator moved down.

"Hah, truly this place is the same as ever.."

[Ding]

The elevator door opened and the two made their way to the machine sector. There were many other high-rankers and small-rankers doing sorts of training in the combat facility, meanwhile, Layla and Elias were heading to the machine sector.

"This place still amazes me every time I see it"

"What's so great about this thing? Tch, these machines were all built by me and they haven't even paid me half of all these machines.."

"Haha, but you're not the only one who did this, didn't you have a-"

"Fuck shut your mouth!"

"Ok..."

Layla grumbled as they kept on walking, suddenly a woman with brown hair, and a pair of headphones with a bob cut was standing in front of them with a smile.

"This is why I hate this place.."

"Oh my, Layla it's so nice to see you!"

"Hello....Jesse..."

"Hmmm? And who is that? Your boyfriend? Ohhh are you dating now?"

"He's a friend...

Jesse smiled happily while patting Layla on the shoulder. She leaned her head.

"Bet you had fun being the no.1? It amuses me that a woman like you could be no.1, you even managed to take my spot.."

"Well, what can I say, I'm just more talented than you.."

The two were looking at one another with deep hatred that two auras were clashing at one another.

"What did you say you fucking bitch?!"

"You're calling me bitch now? You old hag!!!"

Elias shrunk down to the corner avoiding the fight. The two women were being looked at by many of the other rankers, they watched the clash with amusement. They were only B-a rankers, and some even lower That is why seeing a clash between two s class rankers surely got their attention.

"Now! Now everyone!"

A man was floating in the sky, with blonde short hair and green eyes the man was wearing a priest's outfit.

"Hey, isn't that? The Executioner, the 5th ranker..."

With a quiet hideous and devilish smile, the executioner landed between the two women.

"You two are making a scene, you shouldn't fight especially in front of other young rankers..."

"Tch.."

The two women calmed down.

"I didn't plan to fight anyways, I'm here because I want to have a permission paper for my new machine. This bitch started it!"

"Bitch? Is that how you call someone older than you?!"

The executioner was laughing and smiling while holding Jesse who was struggling and wanted to attack.

"Now you two should calm down haha"

"Let go of me!! I want to kill this son of a bitch!!"

"Oh really come and get me you old hag!!!"

....

Meanwhile, Cedric got bored waiting for Elias inside the store.

"Hah this is too boring...when will Elias come back?"

"Hmm my grandson might be a little late, he has a date...ahem..."

"Ehhhhh he has a date? Even that guy?"

"What are you saying that my grandson cannot grab or has the balls to date a woman!! I bet you haven't even dated one woman in your entire lifetime!!"

"Who said I didn't? I dated a girl once you know!"

Cedric pointed his finger at the old man

"And how many months have you ever been together?!"

"You won't believe it but we dated for over 2 years old man! see I'm not such a loser!"

"2 years? Bah, my wife and I dated for over 10 years! And got married for 40 years! Truly youngsters like you don't even know what love hah..."

"Whatever old man.."

....

Layla was sitting in front of a man with deep eye bags.

"It's you again..."

"Yep it's me again, here's the blueprint.."

The man touched the paper and it instantly disappeared, the man's eyes shone for a few minutes.

"So it's a game capsule..."

"Yes, I hope that you can approve of this..."

"Well, I don't see any harm with it.."

The man holding his pen signed the permission slip.

"Now leave I need to sleep..."

As they began to walk back. Elias noticed the slight red tint on Layla's eyes.

"You ok?"

"Yeah....just how could she say that to me, it makes me feel like shit...."

"You shouldn't be like that, how about we get some Icebucks after this?"

"Sure..."

....

"Urghhh that damn bitch!! She always does this to me!!"

Jesse sat down on the couch still fuming.

"You mad at her, come to think of it? Weren't you two partners?"

"Hmm yeah, we did this one project together...After that, she became a lousy ass bitch..."

"Hmmm is that truly all? Didn't you kind of like her before?"

"Huh? What do you mean? Are you crazy?"

"Really? You didn't like her? You two were together whenever you were working on that project. I thought you liked her? At that time the way I saw it the feelings were reciprocated...."

Jesse looked at Matthew with an annoyed expression.

"What?! Eww, no way...."

"Hmmm really?"

Matthew looked at Jesse who was sipping some tea.

'She's lying, that's cute...'

"Hmmm is that so?"

"W-what? Do you think that I would like her or something? She used to be my assistant! Besides, like I always say there is a wall between my job and my workers HAHAHAHAA"

"Your lying...I am the one chosen by god, I can discern lies in an instant..."

"Ugh, sometimes I hate that skill of yours hah..."

"And sometimes I hate the fact that you still keep on denying it even if you knew of this skill of mine.."

"Hah, you have been teasing me weren't you brother?"

"Well, what can I say, it was fun..."

"So what if I like her? That does change the fact that were born in a world where they only see two girls.....besides, I'm sure she hates me..."

"Hmmm is that so...."

Matthew looked at his sister with a smile.

'Hmm how fun, seeing two people like this...'
