"Your PM Please?"
The woman said to with a bright smile as if this was just a routine introduction for a hotel receptionist. Her smile and the way she talked would even fool the experienced if they don't know what they're here for.
Jacob himself was a bit suspicious looking at the lady. He couldn't tell if she was in on the whole hitman organization thing or not. If I hadn't told him about it before then he probably would have not known about it either.
"Sir, your PM please." She gently asked once more. There wasn't any hurry in her tone.
She looked a bit older than with a sense of maturity. Maybe six or seven years older.
A PM was a type of identification item at the Vagrant Palace. PM for the short term of Personal dallion. Like the na, the item was dallion that was used to verify and do any kind of work in this place.
"I don't have a PM."
The smile on the woman went away and replaced it with a worrying one, "Oh no! That's a problem sir. Without a Pm, you can't do any kind of business in this place."
"Yes, I know that."
"Oh! You did? So are you here to create a PM then?" She asked and because of her gentle behavior I didn't feel bad about her sudden suggestions either.
Or that's just how good her skill at manipulating people is.
"No, but I want you to take a look at sothing for ."
"But sir, without a pm-"
"I know, I can't do any business without a pm, right?" She nodded cutely at that, "But this is regarding to it and it won't actually be a business thing, just want to verifying one thing."
"Can you please at least do that?" I smile too as she had a thoughtful look.
"…Hmm, that depends. What do you want to verify?"
"I want you to check the pm configuration of a man nad, Agrave Van Tax."
"Agrave Van Tax." She repeated the na, "Alright then, give a mont."
The woman turned around and went through the door. After a minute later, she ca back with a large black logbook.
"Oh my, that looks heavy, why don't I help you with it?" Jacob said as he slyfully went to help her with the book and placed it on her desk.
"Thank you for that, the book was quite heavy for ." She smiled at Jacob as he blushed before coming beside .
I just looked at this with no emotion emanating on my face. She was extrely intelligent, this woman in front of . Much more than Jacob behind could ever understand.
If she wanted to then she could sell Jacob in the black market three tis and even then, there was a chance she would be able to convince him that was a mistake.
Man, if you think that the woman at my ti in the past world were scary, you can't even comprehend what these ones can do to you.
She opened the book and looked for the na. At each page, she licked her lips gently with a finger before using it to turn the page. This was a good technique, making her seem nimble and cute, making others lower their guard against her.
Nobody would be that stupid to-
"Hah…"
I looked beside and saw Jacob looking at her with a dumb smile.
This dumbass!
"I found it!" She said and looked the page over as her face quickly frowned and it only beca worse.
Jacob seeing that asked, "Is sothing wrong, big sis?"
'Big Sis?!... motherfucker I will… Nah, not now Henry. Not now.' I internally calm myself as the woman nodded.
"I'm afraid I can't give you any information of this man. His identity is way too valued for to just give it away, sir. I hope you would understand this."
'Hmm… as I guessed, the bald fucker already had acquired good value over here. I hope my gamble here pays off.'
"It's alright, we understand big sis, no worries." Jacob smiled, "We won't trouble you anymore."
Then he tugged at , "Alright then, let's go."
"Bang!"
"Hey! What gives?" Jacob complained while rubbing the place I chopped on his head.
Ignoring him, I turn, "Miss, can you check one thing, see if his status is changeable?"
"Alright" She said and searched for it before nodding, "Yes, it is."
"Who will it go to?"
"I'm afraid that I can't say that."
"Alright, but can you at least tell if it will go to his next of kin?"
The woman took a deep look at before deciding to trust as she nodded, "Yes, it will. But can you tell why you are so adamant in finding that out."
I smile. Her question now wasn't a big deal anymore. What I wanted to confirm had been confird and it's just as I wanted.
"Yes about that, you do know that this man is dead, right?"
"Yes"
"And that's why I'm here. I'm his next of kin, his only son."
The woman's eyes widened for a bit as she covered her smile, "You are! That's good then, you will get his PM-…"
"Cough Cough!" She stopped her excitent, "Before I celebrate, I'll need to confirm if what you said is actually valid. Can you give any form of identification?"
"Well, my na is Henry Van Tax and this," I pull out the ring on my index finger, "Is my families Signet ring. I'm sure this will be enough."
She nodded, "If its valid then yes, it will. Can you give it to for verification, I can promise that you'll receive it just as you gave it."
"Well, if you promise." I joked as she laughed and winked.
"I promise." She took it and tip topped off back behind the door.
"What's up with that?" Jacob asked angrily, "I behave gentlemanly with her and I get a smack, you do it and you get scot-free with a fucking wink from her."
"Relax, Prosthetic Roo, this is just a play. The only reason she winked is because I'm about to beco a big player in the ga. It's natural for her to flirt with ."
"You think so." He said and turned around while muttering quietly, "Then I still have a chance."
I shake my head, the guy got ntr'ed once and he still doesn't understand won.
This ti it took a bit longer for her to co back. But when she did, she also brought a gold plate with her. Over the plate was a black pillow that had two items over it.
One was the signet ring I gave and the other was a dallion.
Putting the plate on the desk, she smiled at with her hands joined before her stomach, "Congratulations, Henry Van Tax for joining the Vagrant Palace."
"Because of your status as our GOLD mber, you get to keep all the coins that the previous mber had on his account. But also because of your new admission to our society, the Vagrant Palace gifts you 500 coins."
"Please put a drop of your blood on this acknowledgent sheet and sign it."
