Days passed and things in the city began to normalize. Thanks to the different abilities and magic of this world, the repairs of the damage caused by the stampede of monsters were finished and the city began to return to its normal activity. This was also reflected in the red light district, as the number of visitors increased every day, although they were still not even half of the normal amount they had before the monster stampede. In spite of this, Andrew and all the business owners in the red light district were happy, as they knew that in a short time, they would be back to normal activity and could start earning money again. There was only one day left until the opening of the dance room at the Heavenly Palace and all the invitations had been delivered. Moreover, since the guests were regular customers of the Heavenly Palace, most of them had confirmed their attendance, which made Andrew happy. Taking advantage of the time, Andrew decided it was time to introduce the tissue repair cream he had given Aki to heal her scar, as he had had it for a while and had not yet started selling it. Since this cream was similar to the rejuvenating cream, Andrew planned to sell it under the same conditions, but he did not want to go out to negotiate with Johan, because if he did, Oliver would have to accompany him and with the threat of Silvio, he did not want to leave the Heavenly Palace unprotected. For this reason, he sent a letter to Johan with one of Shadow's members, asking him to come to the Heavenly Palace to talk about a new product, but he did not specify which product it was. Searᴄh the ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Thanks to the speed of the Shadow member who went to deliver the letter. Not 10 minutes had passed and the young man was at the entrance of Johan's store. This young man was the same one who brought the letter to Candice last time. As he had to be in civilian clothes, Oliver did not want the faces of Shadow members to be known, as it would hinder their work as intelligence agents, so this young man was now more of a messenger than a Shadow member. He was called Dino and had become the person in charge of the Heavenly Palace's errands. Thanks to his skills he could perform different jobs on behalf of Heavenly Palace with the utmost speed and safety, which made him a valuable employee. Just like when he brought the letter to Candice, Dino approached the reception desk and reported that he brought a letter from Andrew for Johan and just like the receptionist at Candice's store, the receptionist here was also surprised. Although she had never seen Dino and had her reservations, she still went to inform him because she knew that not just anyone would ask for the boss without reason and she did not want to lose her job by not communicating the arrival of an important person, just because she did not know him. The girl approached Johan's office and knocked on the door. Seconds later Simon Johan's butler opened the door and when he saw the girl he wrinkled his eyebrows, as he knew she was a receptionist and they didn't come to Johan's office unless they were called. "Do you need something?" asked Simon trying to hide his distrust. However, the girl noticed that the butler distrusted her and was a little scared, as this could cost her, her job. Even so, she gathered all the courage she had and said, "Sorry for the inconvenience sir, but at the reception there is a young man who claims to have a letter from Mr. Andrew for the boss." Although she spoke politely, it was evident that she was frightened because she spoke rather quickly, to the point of almost choking for lack of air, and Simon noticed this. The old butler smiled at the girl's nervousness and replied, "Don't be nervous. You did well to give notice. Go back to your post, I'll be out in a moment to meet him." Hearing Simon, the girl let out a sigh of relief and quickly left. Simon chuckled softly as he watched her flee like a frightened rabbit, he closed the door and informed Johan. "Master, a messenger from Mr. Andrew has arrived." Johan who was reviewing some documents on his desk, quickly raised his head at the mention of Andrew. "A messenger from Andrew? Send him in," said Johan anxiously, because thanks to the rejuvenating creams provided by Andrew he had obtained many profits, not only economic but also political, since that product had allowed him to have connections with many nobles. For this reason, he held Andrew in the highest esteem and would never dare to neglect a matter related to him. Simon, as his butler and right-hand man, obviously knew that, so he did not delay and went to the reception to meet Dino. When Simon arrived at the reception, he could see Dino sitting in a small area away from the entrance, where there were some chairs. The receptionist had taken him there and offered him a cup of tea while he waited. The wait had not been long and Dino had not had a chance to drink the tea that was served to him, although he had no intention of drinking it, as due to his training, he did not drink or eat anything that was not from people he trusted and although Johan was an ally, by his standards, he did not qualify as trustworthy. To Dino and all the members of Shadow, Johan and Candice, only qualified as business allies, so their trust in them only went as far as doing business, that's why they wouldn't taste anything they served them. Simon noticing the tea still steaming, knew that it had just been served and was in no hurry to hurry Dino, but Dino saw him and stood up and greeted him, "Hello, you must be Mr. Simon, correct?". "I am, how should I address the gentleman?" the old man asked politely and Dino replied in the same way, "Dino". Simon nodded and said again, "Mr. Dino, no need to hurry, you can finish your tea," but Dino shook his head and said, "Sorry to be impolite, but I have a message for Mr. Johan and I need an answer, so I would like to meet him as soon as possible." Although Simon felt it was strange the urgency Dino had, he said nothing and only gestured for him to follow him. Before long they were at the entrance to Johan's office and Simon knocked on the door and said, "Master, Mr. Dino sent by Mr. Andrew is here." From the office, a "Come in" was heard, and then Simon opened the door. They both entered the office and Johan stood up from his seat and greeted Dino cordially, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Dino." "Nice to meet you, Mr. Johan, I have a message for you," replied Dino immediately addressing the mission he was given. Dino was still not used to the fact that he was now a representative of the Heavenly Palace, so he tended to do things in a straightforward manner, as a member of Shadow would. Experience magic on m,v,l,e,mpy,r. This behavior allowed Johan and Simon to notice his peculiarity and as people of experience as Gaston was, they also correctly intuited Dino's true occupation.
