Chapter 1378: Breakthrough and New Beginnings(9)

In place of the pagoda where Laney trained for the quest, there was now a grand building, and that was Laneyʼs residence as well as her office.

When Laney came to the door, Gerique was the first to greet her. Gerique was none other than the strongest being in the Fring City below Sheira.

Gerique was not only the head of the army of the city, but he was also the protector of the city lord. Sheira disappeared after leaving Laney in Geriqueʼs care.

Gerique took her inside the residence and told her about the different benefits of the house. Once Laney had gotten a tour of her residence, the time to sign the contract arrived.

The terms of the contract were simple and ensured Geriqueʼs loyalty to the City Lord. Despite having a level almost twice as high as Laneyʼs, Gerique had no choice but to sign the contract with him as the second party while Laney was the leader.

Once the contract was signed, the paper turned into light particles and melted into Geriqueʼs hand. Shortly after, Geriqueʼs right handʼs back displayed a pattern with the same shape as the contract paper.

Since the Fring City had been in existence for more than a million years and had functioned all those years without any city lord, the work waiting for her was gigantic, to say the least.

As the City Lord, her first duty was to assign different ministries to different competent parties, but since Laneyʼs primary purpose for entering Panagea that day was to claim some money, she decided to focus on that.

If compared to the money in terms of Sacred Dimension currencies, Laney earned a thousand ultimate Sacred stones every month. If she were to exchange all the accumulated salary, it would be a terrifying amount, but there was also the outrageous exchange rate of five thousand percent.

She would have to own Soul stones equal to five thousand ultimate Sacred stones to bring one ultimate Sacred stone out. But since the time to accumulate the sum was immense, despite the outrageous exchange rate, she would be able to exchange a large amount of money.

Claiming her salary was an easy task, so Laney claimed her entire pay over the years, taking her wealth to an unprecedented height in no time.

Laneyʼs task to enter Panagea was already done, so there was no point in her staying any longer. But Laney controlled herself since immediately disappearing from the city after taking the money wouldnʼt look good on her. To solve that, Laney decided to survey the cityʼs functions.

Laney hadnʼt even completed one-tenth of the total survey when she found that her stay in Panagea had come to an end and the system had forced her out of Panagea.

After walking out of the portal room, she looked at Aakesh. There was a long line of customers in front of him, so Laney decided to go directly to the beast room.

The familiar sight greeted her when she stepped into the room. The number of customers inside the room was higher than it was several years ago. Even in front of the second pillar which was usually filled with a few people, there was a line exceeding thirty customers.

Since Laney had already purchased a beast from the first pillar, her target at that time was the second pillar.

Laney joined the queue, and to pass the time, she looked around at the murals painted on the wall. The last time, she had a beast in her mind due to Aakesh, but that wasnʼt the case the second time.

It wouldnʼt be bad if Laney summoned another Yellow King, so she only hoped for the best beast to be summoned. Time flew by, and soon it was her time to begin the summoning.

Laney took a deep breath and pressed the button. The next moment, the square light began to rotate at a rapid rate and kept at it for five seconds.

Not long after, a beast appeared on the screen. Due to her focusing on training and Panagea, her knowledge regarding other races wasnʼt that good. She didnʼt recognize the beast on the screen.

As the card formed out of nowhere and flew into her hands, she was enthusiastic to see what beast it was.
