After changing into a formal suit, Zero looked much more professional. Though a few things were still missing and with that in mind, Zero moved towards a hair salon in the same mall. He looked at people waiting for their turn to get their hair done and sat down on a sofa a few metres away waiting for his turn. freeweb novel.com
After waiting for some time, the worker there called Zero to get his hair done. They asked him whether he wanted a new haircut or just to style his hair. Zero shook his head as he spoke.
"Just wash and trim my hair. I don't want to change my hairstyle."
Having white hair can make your hair dirty quite fast, so he kind of needed to get it cleaned professionally before he could start doing it by himself later. Though he knew how to do it, he wasn't really a professional and because he needed to make an appearance right now for many purposes; he decided to go an extra step with the fashion.
After 20 mins or so, his hair was back to shining white, and he smiled as he looked at himself before standing up and paying the bill. He may not be extremely handsome, but still he was above average and with a proper makeover, he too can score more than just a couple of ladies. free(w)ebnovel
As he left the salon, he made his descent to the ground floor and began looking at cars to buy. With the advancement of the system, there were many automatic cars present in this day and age.
At first the employees there thought that Zero was merely passing time as he looked at those cars but after a while when they saw him taking out a certain black card and paying the bill immediately at the checkout right beside a sleek black car, they couldn't help but look on in astonishment.
To make the work as swift and easy as possible, the car companies have now formed a way to directly sell their cars without any trouble to the buyers as long as they pay by a transparent means like card or cheque. This way, the key to the car can be registered to the name of the cardholder and it will be presented to the owner right then and there.

Before the employees could even react, Zero had already sat in the car and commanded it to travel to the location where he had bought a place a few hours ago.
Watching him leave, the employees simply looked at the car with a bitter smile on their faces as they let a potentially rich kid go right before their eyes.
Zero, on the other hand, didn't really think much about it. His mind was currently occupied with what he was going to do for the next few days. It won't be long till Elle will begin her journey towards Arcadia Academy and he needs to make sure to use the perfect opportunity to secure an ally that is going to be one of the strongest in the future.
As he was travelling through the roads, he saw the sun rising and he sighed as realised that he had been continuously moving as soon as he woke up from the hospital. A smile formed on his face as he wondered what the other escapees might be thinking right now.
As he was travelling, he saw a certain herbal shop at a distance and stopped the car.

The gate opened, and he moved out of the car. Watching him coming out of such a lavish car, people couldn't help but wonder who he was. They looked at him, wondering if he was the son of some rich/ powerful guy. Ignoring the gazes of those people, Zero moved inside the herbal shop and began looking at those herbs.
"What is it that I can do for you sir?" A young girl came with a bright smile on her face and Zero looked at her with the same smile as he spoke,"Can I get a list of the herbs you have? I am looking for a certain variety of things."
The girl pondered a bit before nodding and moving to a small almeera in the corner and taking out a register. She hurriedly comes back with the register and presents it in front of Zero with a bright smile on her face.
"You look really happy," Zero commented, and she smiled as she spoke,"yeah! My father returned home after so many months! I am really happy today!" with enthusiasm all over her face as she answered.
Zero then began looking at the list of herbs and after noticing that it had most of the things he needed, he smiled and nodded at it before looking at that girl,"umm… excuse me!" he spoke as he found that the girl had already vanished from his sight.
"Here is my father," spoke the girl with a bright smile as she dragged her father out to the shop. Zero looked at that man and he couldn't help but blink his eyes seeing that man's face.
"Why are you taking me to work this early… it hasn't even been morning yet!! And what are- What the heck?!!!" The man looked at Zero with a shocked expression as he recognized Zero's face immediately.
For the next few moments they both looked at each other and then Zero coughed a little before speaking," I think I should go." but before he could do so, the man had caught up with Zero and immediately moved in front of him, blocking his way. He had a complex look on his face as he huffed a little before speaking,"Zero… huff…huff… I don't know who you are or what you are trying to achieve… but can you… can you really cure that guy's daughter?"
Zero looked at that man's pleading eyes with a humble smile. He then spoke,
"Don't worry. If I had said that I am going to cure her, then I would. At least trust your saviour, Mr Reagen Wessex."
