Chapter 73: Chapter 73 - Floating Castle
The Captain stopped Ashe with a hand sign and said to me "I\'m sorry young master for my subordinates inferior intelligence, as they say there is always one bad sapling among the many good ones."
Ashe didn\'t understand why I did that and he certainly didn\'t understand why his boss was undermining him for asking a question.
"It\'s alright, Captain. Your subordinate... he\'s special... in his own way, I think."
"Oh! I see that my number three has troubled you as well, please don\'t worry I will take disciplinary actions for my subordinate." Ashe hearing that started to pale... a lot.
Satisfied with what he said I finally say to the Captain "Alright, Captain. I will take my leave then."
"Oh! Before you leave Young Master." I looked at him as he said with a smile to me "You can call me Walter."
"Alright... Mr. Walter. May we have a profitable business venture in the future."
"Certainly, Young Master."
I nodded at him and left him.
As Walter Heinrich saw me leave through the stations entrance he said to both of his subordinates "The boy you just introduced me, seems to be quite intelligent for someone of his age."
Ashe as always was ready to lick his bosses boots like a loyal dog he was as he said "Yes, boss. your absolutely correct, I have never in my life seen such a young boy with such a high intelligence, certainly someone destined to be the bosses business partner."
Walter shrugged off the blatant attempt at impressing him and said "How many times do I have to get it inside your head that, you shouldn\'t speak while I am in the middle of important things."
"Haha... Sorry, boss won\'t do it again... but it was kinda strange you know, you just gave him your number and he destroyed it without any warning or anything."
Kade too also nodded inside his head as he didn\'t get it but on the outside he was like a wall as he couldn\'t look straight at his boss.
Walter sighed and shook his head "Why do I have such idiot subordinates, oh lord."
Then he looked at Ashe and said it straight "He did that so certain people don\'t find it and use that to their advantage."
"What certain people?" Kade hit him on his shoulder and said in a knowing manner "DUDE"
"What!... Ohhh, I get it now. Wow that really was smart of him, I didn\'t think he was that intelligent." Walter and Kade shook their heads at his idiotic words.
Walter turned back and started to walk back to his quarters as he said to his subordinates.
"Ashe... Regarding earlier you will receive some words from the highers ups sooner for your contribution." Ashe smiled brightly as he heard that to only become pale again at his bosses latter sentence "But before that we must take disciplinary actions for your barbaric behaviors."
As they approached the building they were stationed at for the time being, Walter turned around and looked at Kade in the eye as he said "Kade, Come to my quarters after I take care of Ashe... I need to have a word with you."
Kade became dejected but nonetheless nodded to his powerfully connected boss.
[ Back to the Main Character ]
I walked out of the station after having done connecting with the captain.
\'It was good when that idea came in my head of burning the paper like that from movies. It did the trick and impressed the guy otherwise it looked like he didn\'t want to be in business with \'Me\'.\'
\'I don\'t blame him either as nobody would go into such dangerous business with just anybody and certainly not a child like me.\'
\'It feels better to know that Ashe will get punished for this, GOD that guy annoyed me so much.
\'But I also don\'t think he will get punished much because he just made his boss and there members rich from a small endeavor and with more future cooperation coming he will certainly be gifted or something.\'
\'All I hope is that the \'Business\' goes as smoothly as possible and not let Ashe be the guy who represents me.\'
\'But looking at my inauspicious luck I don\'t think that might be possible.\'
I walk through the streets for a while but I still couldn\'t find where the Alliance was. So I asked people on the streets and one pointed me here and one there until I became angry at everything.
\'Where the fu*k is this place! Shouldn\'t it be easy to find? People over here are pointing me at one direction and the other there with no clear indication of where it might be. Isn\'t a Federation supposed to big and in a place where it is easy to fin-\'
"UNHOLY MOTHER OF BOOBAS"
As I was complaining while walking through alleyways I suddenly came to the main street where I saw the Alliance Federation.
The Alliance Federation was big like over 300 stories high as it towered through the sky and blocking the sun with its massive size. The whole building was covered in blue glass like designs that were hard to describe because of their intricate designs. But that wasn\'t the only thing that made me scream out loud like that.
High above the skies, right above the building there was something floating up there. Looking carefully I noticed that it was a huge floating building up there. It wasn\'t as tall as the federation building but its width was the thing that surprised me the most.
The floating buildings width was so large that it could cover the domain of the Alliance Federation and may even go beyond.
"No wonder even after walking for like 9 minutes I still couldn\'t feel the suns ray over me."
"Now that looks like something the main character might have to do an arc over."
"Seriously people how did they make it so big. Like even the cost... it self might have bankrupt a few kingdoms right?"
"I will never get what goes over the mind of authors who write stuff that includes things like this... It\'s like they were born with the Chūnibyō Syndrome."
I stop admiring the floating castle and look at the building in front of me which had a huge sign that wrote AF.
\'As*F*ck\'
\'That word could be interpreted in so many ways. Whoever created that logo that way deserves my non valuable respect.\'
The moment I walk inside the building a melodic voice said to me in a mature womens tone.
[ Welcome to the Alliance Federation ]
Looking at it I didn\'t get any excited or happy because of the constant popping of similar words in the last few hours.
As I smelt in the scent of Expensive Buildings like this I nod and go towards wherever next the author wrote.
