Enzo went to a small coffee shop in the suburbs.
It only had seven seats in it with one big table in the center.
The shop had no custors when he ca because everyone around except the owner of the shop had gone to the city center to see the commotion there.
He sat beside the window, ordering one cup of coffee.
The cups in this shop were quite large and made of wood, adding to the fragrant aroma of the coffee as it was freshly brewed.
Even inhaling the smoke gave a refreshing sensation.
The coffee was mixed with whole milk which, when drunk, made Enzo feel like he was so energized that the soreness from fighting disappeared.
Here, he would wait for Rosa.
The atmosphere was quite relaxed and calm so he felt at ease.
Everything that had just happened seed to be nothing more than a dream that had passed.
Once, he returned to Earth just to send a ssage to Rosa, telling her where he was.
They could not communicate over long distances in the Primordial World, so it would be difficult for them to see each other if he did not tell her first.
Rosa could return to earth to check her cell phone when she arrived in this city.
After an hour later, he finally saw the young woman appear in front of the coffee shop with that friendly smile that almost always appeared on her face.
"Enzo!" She greeted him imdiately.
When looking at her, Enzo couldn't help but stare at the woman accompanying her at her side.
The woman was in her late 20s with long black hair and a beautiful yet cold face, wearing a brown coat that went past her knees.
She seed to be always observing her surroundings and when she saw him, she narrowed her eyes sharply.
For the first ti, Enzo felt a sensation of worry when he received a stare, as if the one staring at him was a dangerous wild beast.
'This woman is so strong that even when she restrains her strength, she gives off such a threatening feeling, has she already passed Rank Expert?' He wondered in his mind.
Perhaps she was Rosa's personal bodyguard, a privilege that only the children of the more powerful Awakener could obtain, sothing that the children of the rich could not.
Enzo chose to act like he didn't realize how powerful she was.
Greeted by Rosa, he greeted her back.
"Rosa, sit here, the coffee here is very good, we can talk while drinking," he said, showing hospitality.
Rosa walked straight into the coffee shop, and said, "You know Enzo, I heard about the big fuss you caused. You even had the castle of the city lord destroyed. I wonder where I'll live after buying this city from you."
She chuckled when she said the last sentence.
"I had to do it because there were too many bullies," Enzo replied with a wry smile.
"Of course, if you mind, I can lower the price for you..." He chuckled.
He didn't mind if the price was lowered, however it was still just a castle in the end, its value was at most only 1 percent of the city's value, so the price drop of this city wouldn't be much.
"Don't worry, the price is set and I don't want to bother changing it, so I won't lower the price," Rosa replied.
"Miss, I don't think that's appropriate. One defect causes a deficiency in a thing. Even a negligible defect ans at least a 5 to 10 percent reduction in the price of a thing!" Suddenly the bodyguard spoke up.
"You must learn to bargain the price or else you will be cheated by others by taking advantage of your kindness," she added.
Hearing what she said, Enzo couldn't help but roll his eyes, not expecting her to say such a thing.
On top of that, the look she gave him seed like she was staring at an imposter.
"Lucia, I know what I'm doing. Besides, Enzo is my friend who awoke on the sa day as , I naturally can't treat him like anyone else," Rosa replied, imdiately expressing her disagreent with her comnt.
"Miss, it's my duty to remind you in addition to taking care of you... I'm talking about facts, you can't just assu soone is different just because of certain things. Being wary of anyone is the first rule for every Awakener..." The woman nad Lucia replied.
She didn't seem to like the way Rosa was treating him who thought of him as a friend.
Although this was annoying, he did not feel the need to comnt.
His focus was only on Rosa, acting as if he hadn't heard anything.
"Cih!" Suddenly the woman sneered at him.
Enzo, "..."
He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
If it wasn't for the realization that she was very strong, he definitely wouldn't have kept quiet.
However, for the sake of avoiding bigger trouble, he chose to remain calm.
In response, he took out the city lord's ring and placed it in front of Rosa.
"The holder of this ring is the mark of the city lord," he said. "As for the Star Spirit, it's still at my house, I'll go get it. It's very important for you because without it, you won't be able to use the skill you'll get after completing the mission of managing this city."
"Wait!" When Enzo wanted to summon his portal, Rosa asked him to wait.
After that, in her hand suddenly a glass box appeared and in it he saw a Star Spirit that was exactly the sa as the one he got from the city lord.
Moreover, it suddenly appeared in her hand, which ant she had a Dinsional Artifact to store sothing.
Such an artifact was an expensive and hard-to-get item.
"I already have it, so you can keep your Star Spirit. You might need it later," Rosa said with a faint smile.
