Grim Reaper in the Apocalypse: Reaping Immortals

Chapter 133: Unsolicited advice

"Is that the guy?"

Three shady figures watched the ruckus at the Club Fair from a distance. Their eyes focused on the very center of the crowd, the man with the only black battle suit in a sea of green around him.

"Finding him is easier than I thought."

The scene quickly escalated as the guy next to the Star Porter attacked him using a LifeSkill.

These shady figures immediately noticed his strength and correctly estimated that he was at the 4th stage Student realm.

They expected an easy win for the guy, but they were soon stunned to see Atlan break the guy's leg with one swift kick. Their discerning eyes saw the brief moment when the black flames emerged from out of nowhere.

Even they felt the change in pressure from a distance. It was like the Star Porter turned from a simple cat to a vicious tiger in a millisecond. His roar sent shivers down their spines.

"Tsk. He's stronger than we thought. What should we tell the young master O?"

"We tell him nothing. He has one job for us, and that's to teach this guy a lesson he won't forget."

"Agreed. The three of us are in the 5th stage. It'll be easy pickings for us to catch a single 2nd stage novice, even if he has an S class talent."

The three shady figures dispersed. They'd pounce once the perfect opportunity arrived.

Atlan looked around and saw multiple heat signatures light up in the distance.

Some of the stronger Vanguards in the buildings sensed the powers he emanated even from far away. Some were curious to see the ruckus. Either way, he gained their attention.

He ignored them. He gained enough of that today.

"Vineyard? Yeah, I know where that is."

Finally. After asking about a hundred people and hearing no response, someone finally answered his question.

"I visited that place about two years ago when I advanced to the Pre-Intern realm. I was allowed to get a 6-star Genus from it, and luckily, that led to my beloved mutation called Bear Hug."

"You couldn't get a higher rarity Genus?"

The recruiter shook his head. "I wasn't allowed to. My ticket only permitted me to enter the 6th row of the Vineyard, which limited my choice to those 6-star Genus and below."

Atlan didn't know that there were different tickets with different permissions. What about my ticket? Does it only allow me to get 6-star rarity Genuses?

"Why do you ask?"

"I was given a ticket."

The Judo recruiter didn't think he'd be surprised after what he saw today, but it looked like he underestimated the Star Porter even more.

"Really? They gave you a ticket when you're only at the 2nd stage Student realm?"

He nodded and took out the golden ticket for him to see.

The man was shocked! The luster on that ticket almost blinded him. He had never even seen this kind of ticket before because the one he had before was only made out of normal paper.

"I didn't think that existed…but that's an All-Exclusive Pass to the entire Vineyard!"

The man would have advised Atlan not to show his ticket to anyone for fear of them stealing it, but that would be useless.

The golden ticket had Atlan's name written on the bottom of the page. It was his. Nobody could claim the ticket even if they stole it from him.

"Does that mean I can get a 9-star Genus?"

The man almost salivated when he heard that. "Yes!"

As much as he wanted to congratulate Atlan, he couldn't help but wonder why HeadQuarters gave Atlan such a precious gift so early in the youth's career. He was only at the 2nd stage Student realm!

But once he thought about the theory that Atlan was invited by Mount Olympus, things finally made sense. Genesis City wanted to keep Atlan in their Territory so they opted to bribe him early so that he'd feel indebted to the City.

The man quickly told Atlan where to find the Vineyard. If he was Atlan, then he would sprint as hard as he could to claim that 9-star Genus right now.

Atlan thanked the man and left the Club Fair. There were still some lingering eyes on him, but they didn't follow him back to the main building of the HeadQuarters.

He followed the Judo recruiter's directions.

He must have walked all the way to the opposite side of the HeadQuarters because he walked for 10 minutes at least before he came across a shrubbery hedge almost that was at least 10 meters tall.

Even from the outside, he smelled the fresh and earthy scent emanating from the greenery beyond the walls.

He walked along the shrubs until he saw a steel gate that led inside.

<Genesis Garden Club>

Another club? I didn't see any Garden club in the fair…

The gate was quite rusted. He peeked inside and saw nothing but overgrown greenery, with vines and leaves strewn around the pathway. The Garden Club looked abandoned.

Is no one here?

The Garden Club was located on the very outskirts of the HeadQuarters, away from the natural path that led to the other buildings on the campus. Atlan had to go through tight passageways and deserted gates before he arrived here.

He said that the Vineyard is in the Garden Club, but why can't I see anyone?

For such a prestigious place full of highly sought-after Genus, there was a distinct lack of guards and soldiers. It was as if they weren't worried that someone would steal the Genus inside.

"Hello? Is there anyone inside?" Atlan shouted. No response. His voice only echoed back to him with a diminished tone.

Just then, he heard a faint footstep behind him. He immediately activated his Thermal Vision and saw one person leaning on a pole.

"Hey there, Star Porter."

"Who are you?" Atlan looked at his internal body heat and estimated that he was in the 4th stage Student realm or higher.

"I'm just here to give you some advice."

Atlan shook his head. "Don't need it."

The man casually walked over toward him. "Now, now, don't be too cold. I know that you've been given a golden ticket to get a new 'Genus'."

"So?"

"I'm advising you now. Don't. You'll ruin your perfect human body."
