Chapter 59 The Interview

Luis narrated how their day went but omitted some things like how and by whom the demons were defeated and the most important part which he needed to keep out was calling Michael a CEO while Dylan was close by.

"You guys really went through a lot today." Ace said, glancing at Luis and Dylan.

"Yeah, and I need a bath," Luis said, getting up from his bed.

"Hey, don't you want to hear how my day went?" Ace asked.

"Judging by the way you were listening to me, I'm aware that it wasn't much fun," Luis said, heading straight into the bathroom.

"How can he say that? My day was lots of fun." Ace said, fuming.

Ace kept on blabbering about how fun his day was thinking he was speaking to Dylan, unaware that the blonde-haired teenager had longed dozed off.

"Dylan." Ace called after noticing that Dylan wasn't giving him any responses.

"Dylan." He tapped him and that was when he realized that his roommate had long fallen asleep. "Come on dude, you could have taken a bath first."

Luis came out from the bathroom to find Ace on his bed reading, while Dylan was sleeping with his head against the wall.

Ignoring the two he slid into his new pair of uniforms which they were all provided with and was ready to head out.

"Where are you going?" Ace asked, pulling his book down to reveal his face.

"I just want to grab something. I'll be back soon." Luis said shutting the door before Ace could say anything else.

With increased pace, Luis was able to get to the library just in time.

He looked at the building and sighed before walking in through the door.

Instead of walking into the library like a regular here, he walked to the reception area, which was a little bit to the right on entering the library.

"Hello, how can I help you?"

Luis was greeted by a red-haired female, which wasn't the person he saw the first day he came here with Ella.

"I have an appointment., '' Luis said, showing her the card which Michael had given him.

The lady glanced at the card and then glanced at Luis, she then turned to her tablet and tapped in some information.

"Okay, walk through that door for your appointment." She said pointing at the black door at the end of the room.

"Thank you., '' Luis said before walking off towards the door.

He opened the door to find Michael sitting on his chair, with a table in front of him, but there wasn't much on the table except for a few books, a pencil sharpener, and a telephone.

Luis noticed that although the office looked nice with a sofa and bookshelf by the side and the window providing good ventilation, it all looked dusty like this place wasn't visited very often.

"I see you made it," Michael said with a smile. "Have a seat."

Luis walked to the table and sat on the seat opposite Michael, looking at the books on the table he could see they were very dusty.

"Sorry about that but I don't visit here quite frequently," Michael said.

Luis just nodded to his apology.

"Luis right?"

"Yes," Luis replied.

"You already have the job because we have already agreed on your payment."

"So all I get out of working for you is just the books you promised me."

Michael shook his head.

"I'm aware that you are just a student here, which is why I'm just going to make that sixty percent of your payment, the rest will be paid to you weekly."

p "And when will I get the books?"

"In two months."

"Two months?" Luis opened his mouth in disbelief.

"Yes, I even made it short for you."

They had three months to stay at school before going home for their break, which meant that he would get the books a month before going home.

'At least I can make a little money before then.'

Luis was planning to quit the job immediately he got what he wanted, he had estimated it to be around two weeks or a month but it turns out he was going to stay longer than his estimate.

"Ok, I accept," Luis said.

"Good." Michael said." Not like you had much of a choice anyway unless you no longer need the books."

'If I knew where those books were I would have taken them without your permission.' Luis wanted to let his thoughts out but he knew best not to.

"Just go to Rose and she will inform you about your duties."

Luis wasn't just going to leave because he still had a lot of unanswered questions to which he believed Michael would have an answer.

"Why do you have to keep your CEO identity a secret?" Luis started with his questions immediately after his first agenda was done.

"I don't think I owe you an answer to that question." Michael said, placing his legs on the table." Just make sure that friend of yours doesn't say anything as you promised and the same thing goes to you."

"Fine, you said you are in charge of running this whole area, which I thought was supposed to be demon free."

"Honestly I don't know how a demon got here but my team is currently doing an investigation and that will be the last," Michael answered smoothly.

With the way the two were now speaking, it felt like Luis was the one interviewing Michael.

Luis wasn't exactly comfortable with Michael's answer on why there were demons on the mountain but it wasn't like he was going to get him to say something else.

Michael had told Luis that they were on a mountain unaware that Luis knew about that even before he told him.

"Why are you our martial arts instructor?"

This was one of the questions Luis required an answer to because it didn't make sense for him to be an instructor.

"Oh, that." Michael chuckled. "I just volunteered, because your school didn't have one.

"Then what's with all the military training?"

"Military training?" Michael chuckled. "Trust me, those are just the basics."

'Basics.?'

To Luis, Michael wasn't really making sense.

"It looks like you are out of questions." Michael said, staring directly at Luis who didn't look away."It's time to leave then."

Luis got up and before leaving through the door he looked at the card which Michael gave to him, this brought one more question into his mind.

"Why did you just give me this card if your identity as a CEO was to be kept a secret?" Luis asked, holding up the card.

"Nobody would really pay attention to that card, it's not authentic."

"But you know I could have told someone."

"Well then it's good you didn't," Michael said, giving him a wry smile.

This man just annoyed Luis more and more with the way he went around things with his words.

Unable to get any useful answers Luis left the room while looking at the card.

"CEO of JoJo mountains business district huh," Luis said.

[ Long term command: 28 days left ]

[ 20/30 HP ]

'I hope they don't come here after 28 days.' Luis thought looking at the message that had suddenly popped up on his system screen.
