Chapter 16: CB

Z, chose to ignore the taunt of the guy. He does not want to attract unnecessary trouble.

He followed the path the woman told her. He crossed the gate and travelled a narrow path. At the end of the path was a larger road with countless buildings on each side. He thought about the payment he needed to make.

"Money huh, seems like this will be put to good use" Before he left, the old man sorrow handed him a gray token with a symbol inscribed in it. The old man said to take the token to the Central Bank and that if he is lucky enough, he can still redeem the money that that token represents.

He wandered around for almost two hours, just to find the bank.

On his way countless people looked at him with disgust. Unlike him, all of them were wearing medium to fancy clothing. Furthermore, not one of them has smears and dirt on their bodies. ' I just went down that forsaken mountain, how can I be clean' he thought, as he believed that the looks were due to him being dirty.

As he located the bank, he proceeded to climb the enormous ladder positioned before it.

"Look at that kid"

"Does he want to get killed or something?"

"Tsk, another garbage trying to beg for money"

Countless murmurs reached the ears of Z. He has a very sensitive ear, developed from living in a forest. Nonetheless, he did not mind the provocations.

After climbing the enormous ladder, he reached the front of an enormous house. At the center of which carved a symbol CB, under which elaborated the name--Central Bank. Representing the bank being the center of all trades, and also because it is located in the center of the world.

Two guards wearing fancy armor could be seen at the pillars that hold the door.

"Beggars are not allowed inside, kid." said the first guard

"I am not a beggar, I will withdraw money."

"Tsk, that dialog is already old. Go away before we force you to" the first guard added

"I really am a customer" as he showed the gray token in hand.

"HAHA! If you wanna fake a token, make it believable. There is no such thing as a gray token kid, stop making a mess" the first guard remarked

'What? Is that old man playing with me? No, that couldn't be!"

"I assure you this token exists, let me go in!

"I said no!" as the spear of the guard points to the kid.

"How can you make decisions here? I wanna go in!" The guard was pissed off. He thrust his spear to the kid unburdened by the kids life or death

"Splash!" as blood spurt on the ground
