Soti later, in the Chairman's office;
"Are you sure about this, Rudra?" asked a frail-looking old man who had a look of worry clearly written on his face. Obviously, he was afraid of putting his life in the hands of soone who was neither a doctor nor a healer.
Captain Rudra was also quite nervous because of the unknown sealing technique but he had to trust his ntee, who is an Exalt realm expert. If only he knew that Azzy was only 14 years old, he would have never agreed to this. But, Azzy's deception made this possible and Rudra convinced his grandfather to cooperate.
As the chairman comfortably sat on the sofa and closed his eyes, Azzy slowly unleashed the Gluttony seal under the Reaper's guidance for the first ti.
Even though he was a first-tir, Azzy managed to create the gluttony beast in the form of energy while taking a bit of ti.
The beast with no eyes, no ears, and just a huge mouth with a countless number of teeth, went into the old man's body and started its work. anwhile, Azzy stayed connected to the beast and carefully controlled it through telepathy so that it won't eat everything it encounters.
Before the task, Azzy asked for one hour of ti but all it took was only 18 minutes, thereby surprising the others and himself too as they not only witness the old man being cured completely but even his soul orb ended up being intact unlike what Azzy warned them earlier.
At the sa ti, excluding Azzy, only two people in the room understood what happened inside the chairman's body. Not only the cancer cells were removed, but even other impurities were also swallowed by the gluttony beast before it disappeared. Chairman's blood, organs, bones, and soul energy were purified to the extent that he felt like he was about to make a breakthrough to rank 5 at any minute.
His soul power was stuck at 92k for more than a century. Hence, it was no surprise that he went from a depressing sickly old man to a cheerful healthy man, who started to punch and kick in the air as soon as he got up from the chair.
"You did it, Azrael," exclaid Rudra in happiness as he looked at his grandfather. In response, Azzy calmly nodded, "it's not much…"
After a while, everyone from the team was dismissed and Azzy was alone with Chairman Xavier in the latter's office.
The chairman thanked him and asked him what reward he wishes to get. The old man promised to fulfill any kind of demand whether it is a weapon, money, or a favor. All it needs is Azzy to voice it out.
However, Azzy didn't ask for any materialistic reward. Instead, he simply asked for the truth about whether he is involved in Mavis' abduction.
As soon as those words are out, for a mont, the chairman's expression changed. His speech stamred and his legs shivered as he denied any link to his grandnephew's abduction, followed by terming it as a baseless accusation in a calm tone. He further stated that he won't harm Mavis no matter what and was willing to trade all of his wealth and his life for the missing teenager.
Xavier's first reaction made Azzy find him very suspicious but the last sentence appeared to be quite genuine. Azzy won't claim himself as a person with good judgnt but he sensed that this old man was very sincere in his feelings.
Hence, Azzy didn't further interrogate him and nodded, "I understand. Then, can you help in finding him?"
"Uh… sure. Whatever it is that you needed, it will be done. After all, you are my benefactor," replied the chairman. After taking a pause for a couple of seconds, he then added, "If you don't mind, may I use your services to cure soone I know? I'll give you whatever you want."
Since Azzy had already revealed his long-lost ancient sealing technique, he didn't mind using it once again. Not to ntion, it would also help in gaining mastery over the seal. As a result, he agreed to it but only after the mission is over.
Xavier grabbed Azzy's right hand and shook it with both of his eyes with a look of gratitude on his face and promised him that he would be grateful for his help for all his life.
Azzy then went on with solving the case, asking for sothing that Mavis owns for a long ti and usually keeps with him every mont.
Xavier personally took him to the 74th floor where Mavis' room is located. The others already inspected the room. Hence, they weren't that interested.
However, Rudra and Lenore wanted to follow Azzy, with the forr hoping his ntee to discover sothing new and the latter being curious to see what Azzy is up to. As a result, everyone also followed both of them.
The room was quite luxurious than any other hotel room that Azzy had witnessed before. It was a large duplex residence, which was divided into more than eight rooms.
Azzy stayed in a five-star hotel and he also visited a royal palace; he possessed a magical tent with a duplex mansion inside and he was familiar with the interior of a skyscraper like WAMO's HQ building. However, he never saw a place like this.
On the other hand, the remaining mbers who were more experienced in this field were not surprised by a duplex residence inside a skyscraper even when they visited this room for the first ti. Hence, they were a lot calr and put their focus completely on Azzy, who was looking around curiously.
While Azzy was touring around the house, realizing that it wasn't as special as it appeared at first glance and lost his interest, the old man was also searching for sothing. After a couple of minutes, the chairman returns to the living room with a jade bracelet (beaded).
"This belongs to Mavis' mother and he wore it until he was 13. Since then, he stopped wearing it outside and only wears it when he is at ho," The chairman handed the bracelet to Azzy and further said that it was with Mavis since his birth.
As for his mother, she died in an accident when Mavis was only around 4 months old. Maybe, this is why this object was always with him. And why did he stop wearing it outside after he beca a teenager? Azzy thought it was probably due to teasing from friends and didn't pay much attention to the story anymore, putting his focus more on the object instead.
Placing the bracelet on the floor, Azzy sat down before asking the others to stay silent for so ti. He put his palm on the bracelet.
The chairman and the others wondered what he was going to do. However, none of them voiced it out for so reason. Were they intimidated? Perhaps…
Thankfully for them, Lenore acted in everyone's instead and questioned him.
In response, Azzy calmly answered while closing his eyes, "It's called aura tracing. You see… whenever a human uses an object, his/hers aura will rub it off on them. Unfortunately, it also dissipates over ti. However, in this case, this bracelet is special and…"
"Mavis was using his bracelet for 16-17 years. His aura must have accumulated over ti and since it wasn't used by others, his aura can be traced?" Rudra finished the explanation with doubt in his voice and then exclaid, "You are an Aura master? I heard they were extinct a long ti ago…"
"Aura master?"
