[Author's note: Well, since I am going to go all out from here onwards, thought I might as well mention this.
First, I will be posting 2chaps per day for a couple of weeks before going all out at 3 chaps/day, later onwards. If I can't at some point then that means I am buys IRL.
If you guys need any more chapters, I will publish em but at the cost of Golden Tickets. Though all the extra chapters will be published at the start of every month based on how much GT I got in the previous month.(I have mentioned the requirements in the Synopsys)
Also you guys can send castles if you want an extra chapter if you feel like really needing to read next one(I will publish it within 12hours).
Extra gifts are always welcome. I can't promise an extra chapter on that but I will make sure to shoutout your name in the upcoming chapter and maybe publish an extra chapter if I am in a good mood and I have time. That's all, hope you enjoy the story.]

An extra piece of information I thought I should add about Lucia is that she is from a very peculiar place. An exceptionally peculiar place where rules are so strict that if you don't follow them, you can literally lose your life. It's not something they imposed on themselves, but something that is natural to them.
Now Lucia was here after a certain traitor, who escaped from that certain place with very critical information and according to what I remember, that person was somewhere in Bryxton. The fact we had to move to Bryxton multiple times just to check for that person's whereabouts tells us the significance of that person to Lucia. Though I wonder why he never moved away from Bryxton….?
...…..
Zero enters through the door and follows the men through a hall before finally reaching to the end where a black gate was present. One of the men knocks on the door and after waiting for a few moments, a voice comes from the inside, calling us in.

The door opens and we proceed to enter the room. Observing the room, Zero finds himself entering a lavish office space where extravagant paintings and crafts were placed all around the wall with a table at the edge. A man was sitting on the other side with a curious look on his face as he observed Zero.
Zero too looked at him with a smile and the man smiled in return.
'Lare Michael, one of the underdogs of the traitor whom Lucia should be searching for now. All right, let the game begin. It's about time we find out how a traitor actually managed to escape from that terrible place,' thought Zero as he observed Lare.
Lare then nodded at his men, and they moved towards him. Zero followed them with a 'curious and innocent' look on his face as he observed the surroundings.
"What is your name kid?" Lare asked as he looked at Zero and Zero pretended to snap out of his daze and looked at Lare and asked with a stupefied face," What?!"
Lare didn't get annoyed at Zero's childish behaviour and smiled again before speaking,"what is your name kid?"
"Umm.. Ah! You can call me Zero for now," Zero spoke while scratching the back of his head and Lare and the others chuckled at his conduct. Then Lare looked at his men before speaking.
"What is it that you want?"
Zero this time, however, looked at the other people around him before making an awkward smile, as if he was hesitating to speak in front of the other men.
The other men couldn't help but get confused by his actions. 'Didn't you already tell us about wanting a new other identity? Why are you getting all awkward now?' is what they all were thinking.
Looking at Zero behaving the way he was, Lare understood something before asking his men to leave them alone. The men hesitated but still slowly moved out of the room, leaving only Zero and Lare alone.
"You can tell me now," Lare asked, entertaining Zero.
Zero moved forward and took a seat against Lare, and then smiled at him. This time, however, the smile was cold, piercing through Lare. The atmosphere was different. Zero didn't feel like a child anymore, but more like a man who had been through these situations thousands of times.
Lare couldn't help but gulp as he observed Zero's eyes that were piercing through him. It was as if he was sitting in front of a predator that could eat him at any moment. He even thought about calling the other men from outside, but before he could make any move, Zero took something out of his space ring. It was a blue-coloured potion and, looking at that potion, Lare's eyes turned wide in shock as he observed that potion.
"A High Grade potion?!!!" Lare asked with a dumbfounded expression as he looked at Zero again. While a High Grade potion might not be rare, it's very difficult to obtain one, unless you are from a very influential background.
There are 4 Types of Potions.
1.Low Grade for minor injuries.
2.Middle Grade for major injuries.
3.High Grade for life saving situations.
4.Supreme Grade for dispelling extreme curses and poisons that are normally difficult to get rid of.
'I found it under the bunker at the hospital… not something I can really tell him though… Well, the organisation was really generous with their funds and stuff, weren't they? A High Grade potion per bunker… though it is only available to the highest ranking members. Guess all that hard work was worth something after all?' A small smile forms on Zero's face as he recalls bits of his past before he sighs as he looks at the bright expression of Lare,'if only people knew the real side effects of potions in this day and age.'
"I want 3 things. I will give you this potion and 10 Mid Grade potions right here and now," Zero spoke as he looked at Lare.
Lare was startled to hear that Zero had even more potions, but he wasn't as startled as he was the first time. Middle Grade potions, though rare, are still available in the market at a high price.
"The first thing I want is another identity. The details of that identity will be confidential, no one but I should know about it," Zero spoke in a businessman-like tone as he observed Lare's face and used his charm magic.
"The second thing that I want is for you to provide me with a bank account on the aforementioned identity. The details of that account will be provided by me, however it should be done in a way that it is still known only to me," Zero spoke again as he turned his charm magic off and looked at Lare, who was nodding at his demand.
Normally people would question something like this, since after creating an identity one can easily create a bank account but to ask someone else to do it for them… now that would be very suspicious. Hence, Zero used Charm Magic to make sure Lare doesn't suspect anything wrong with Zero's demand.
"And the third thing that I want is… A Black Entry Card to the Bryxton Night's Auction."
