Chapter 69 - Dirty Money

Nixxin looks around, "Wia, this place looks expensive."

Wia pull Nixxin to a mall, "Let's buy some clothes."

Nixxin follows Wia inside the mall, "Where's GB in here?"

Wia looks around, "Let's look near the main entrance."

Wia and Nixxin goes up to an escalator, they go to left, there's ice in the middle where there's people skiing, they go to right, and left again, to right, goes up the escalator, "Is there really entrance there?"

The place at the third floor is full of play ground, Nixxin sees some signs far away, Global Bank, "Wia, I see GB out there."

Wia looks around and she sees the GB, "Let's go."

Nixxin opened a door, "Wia, wait outside."

Nixxin looks around inside, "Goodmorning, I would like to inquire about getting a loan."

Nixxin continue, "Personal loan, for home repair."

Then a minute later a man goes out of the room, "You're interested for a personal loan."

Nixxin sat down in chair near the table, "I would like to borrow 15 grand, I earn around 5 grand a month as a tier 6 hero."

The man sat down, "Thank you, do you-"

Nixxin took out his wallet, "Yes I have valid ID and proof of my income, I also have hero card, I heard the GB is with Hero Foundation."

The man looks at it, alright, you just had to, "Fill this form."

Nixxin fill up the form and give it to the man, "Your money will be deposited to your account at 6am."

Nixxin goes out of the room, Wia looks at him, "What happened?"

Nixxin close the door, "I take a 15k loan, where do you like to buy clothes?"

Nixxin and Wia enter a GClothes, "Why is almost everything has at start G?"

Wia looks above, "GClothes, I don't know why, but my friends love to buy clothes in here."

Wia pulled Nixxin inside, "What would you like?"

Nixxin look around, "I already have 21 suits, I don't think it's not enough."

Wia looks at him, "Why would you always wear a suit?"

She approach Nixxin, and fix his tie, "You only have some casual outfit, most of the time you have suits, you look so serious with it."

Nixxin stared at her, "Well... I was always at my job you know, just pick what you want, I'll buy it for you."

Wia entered a room, "Wait there."

Nixxin looks at the clothes outside, while waiting for Wia, it's been 18min, what takes her so long?

The curtain rose as Wia went out of the room. Nixxin stood up; she had a white top with a black skirt. "You look like an elegant princess."

Nixxin looked over and saw her wearing that outfit—white on top, black below. The white blouse has big, puffy sleeves that get tighter toward the wrist, then flare out again into wide, frilly cuffs with layers of fabric sticking out. Around the neck, there's a wide ruffle, all folded and lacy, sitting high up.

The whole top looks loose, with lots of folds and creases everywhere the fabric bunches up. Right in the middle is a tall, solid black band that sits way above her hips, straight and smooth, cutting the white and black parts clearly apart.

The skirt's all black, full and wide. It's gathered right under that black band, then falls out in big, loose folds. You can see a faint, swirling pattern all over the fabric when the light hits it. There's an extra layer hanging at the front, longer and wider, making the whole skirt flare out a lot at the bottom.

The fabric looks thick, falling in long panels with deep shadows between every fold. Wia looks at the mirror, "It's called lolita clothing."

She pulled Nixxin's shoulder and whisper, "If you look closely at people most of the succubi sexualized themselves, that's why it was popular here to wear these thick clothes, so people can identify human."

Nixxin stared at him, "You still look like a succubus."

Wia looks at herself in the mirror again, "It cost 1450 btw."

Nixxin looks at the counter, "That's the only dress you want?"

She pulled Nixxin to the counter, "I have many dress at home, and also I don't want to buy many things."

Wia entered a small scanning room, and it says 1450, Nixxin swipe his card, and Wia jumps to his arm, "Hey, you're going to trip."

Wia stand up, "No, you're tier 6 you know, I heard only 1 in 100m people has that same tier."

Nixxin looks around outside, "That's made up number, btw, where do you want to go?"

Wia thinks while sliding getting pulled by Nixxin, "I want to buy mek up."

Nixxin intentionally try to make Wia scared by making her trip and catch her, "You should stop being a kid."

She holds tight at Nixxin's arm, "Let's go to another G shop."

Nixxin looks around, finding store with G at the start, "G?"

Wia pulled Nixxin, "Gavon."

Nixxin stared at the at the screen, 3000? Nixxin swipe his card, and they leave the store, "We should eat breakfast already, it's 6:47 now."

Nixxin stared at him, and feels a striking and burning sensation in his back, like something is stabbing his back, Nixxin fall on his knee, "What happen? Are you okay?"

Nixxin looks at Wia above him, "There's something sharp behind me, but I can't feel it anything sharp."

Nixxin try to stand up, "Hey, don't look so worried, it's just some light pain."

Nixxin and Wia go to a restaurant, "Another G?"

Nixxin sat down, while Wia order food at the counter, Wia brings beef steak at the table, "Is this your breakfast everyday?"

Wia took out a bite, "Of course no, most of the time it's bacon and egg, what about you?"

Nixxin stared at it, "I don't eat breakfast."

He slice the meat, "It's already 7, and I need to get back to the apartment by 10."

Wia stared outside, "Then we'll take elevator."

Nixxin take a bite, "You said it was one hour per floor."

Wia give Nixxin a bite, "Eat it, it might fall on my hand."

Nixxin eat and swallow it, "Then why the last time I go to the elevator, it last for 1hour going from floor 20 to 19?"

Wia give another bite, "Maybe something is wrong at that time."

Nixxin wait at a back alley, sitting near boxes beside him, when a couple of men comes, "I am tier 6 hero, you guys can't beat me."

The bar owner, approach him, "Oh! no, they're here to carry the boxes."

The man give the money, "Count it."

The man sat down, "Alright, this is 1. 2. 3... 150. Believe me?"

Nixxin shows his credit hard, his credit card absorb the money, "I will come back to your bar if I got more. And it will cost more"

Nixxin raise the curtain and run in the dark, and opened a door to the underground, he opened another door to his room, and he sees the general and the seller, "I know next time I have to pay."

The general looks around the boxes, "I have many boxes in here, 30 per one, and 3000 per box, I already give you 40box, so would you like to buy, another box?"

Nixxin stared at it, "Yeah, but, I don't have a customer right now, maybe, I will try to find some who will buy it."

The seller sat down, "You should find some in the floor 5, many of them actually."

Nixxin goes out of the room, I have 135K, minus 120K after 40 box, and I will sell it, for 160K, but I will say 200K, next month, so I have the 15K for my wallet for now until I have 300K, Nixxin go back to the apartment, "Wia, we have bad news, I have only 15K."

Wia looks at him, "I mean, 15K is literally your salary in 3month, you can sleep and eat for 3month without doing your job."

Nixxin stared at the calendar, "I actually have 135K, but the 120K isn't mine."

Wia opened his phone, "Who owns it?"

Nixxin opened the cabinet, "My future money."

Nixxin walks near a door and opens it, "I'll take a bath?"

Nixxin take his suit out, and look at his back in the mirror, it has 2 circular red, that looks like bleeding inside, what the hell is this, I can't even move my back slightly. Nixxin goes down to floor 5; the floor is like a maze. It has less space; all of it is full of rooms; the roof is a vast, empty, dark land. L

As they land down on floor 5, there are still many people living there, and many people also have weapons. Damn, this place is dangerous.

Then he sees a group of men; they have badges on their pockets. Isn't that the same badge as the mission where Aeolous almost died?

Nixxin approached them and showed him his hero card. A man kicked him; he fell back. "I just want to see your leader."

Nixxin stood up, and when a truck behind him pushed him, his back bled, and then a man sitting in the truck asked him, "I'm their leader; what do you want?"

Nixxin tried to stand up and fell on his knee. "I just want to sell some product." Why does it hurt? It's just a truck; even if it costs tens of thousands more, I will not fall.

The man jumps from the truck and holds Nixxin's neck and licks his face. "What is it?"

Nixxin stands up. "This drug."

Nixxin shows a syringe with a spiral inside. "It was used to allow someone to use bloody magic or something."

The man takes out the drugs and injects himself; his head feels like popping. The man beside him tries to attack Nixxin. When the man stands up and takes out a knife, he cuts his face; the blood falls on him, and then it floats. "Bring me more."

Nixxin sits in the truck. "It costs 240K."

The blood glows blue and turns into water that spins around the man's whole right arm. "Send more of this,"

Nixxin laughs. "I said it costs 240K."

The man tries to punch Nixxin, but Nixxin jumps on his head, and the man falls. "240K, and I will give you 4K syringes of those."

The man stands up; he feels dizziness. He can't focus his eyes. "Where can I buy this?"

Nixxin looks at him; he grins at him, trying to hold everything. I didn't know it was so easy to be rich with drugs. "I will bring it in here tomorrow."
