Afterward, he continued to quietly watch her single-handedly barbecue all of the beasts surrounding her in a leisurely manner.
’Atish, huh? That’s a good guardian name for an Abnormal with a fire-based Trait... I wonder how her trait functions though.’ As she was done killing all of the beasts at this point in time, the live broadcast was cut off before two people appeared on the screen.
"Once again, Guardian Atish burned everything in her path into a total crisp, she must’ve obtained at least 5 Red-Crystals from this hunt alone..." Then, one of the spokespersons commenced a lengthy analysis session with the central topic being the Guardian ’Atish’.
...
Putting the food on the table, the golden beauty mouthed, "Master... I’m already at the fourth level of the Purifying stage!"
"Oh, Lil Belle’s the best! Continue the great work and you’ll definitely finish this stage in a month at most." Grabbing a spoon, he put a mouthful of rice into his mouth while pronouncing that sentence distinctly.
"Yeah... by the way, before I forget, the CEO ugly brought the bank card you had demanded the other day." Muttering this sentence, the golden beauty took out a rather heavy luxurious card from her pocket as she put it on the table.
Ding~
The moment it came into direct contact with the table, however, it made an unexpected humming noise because apparently, the material with which the pitch-black card was made seemed to be some sort of special iron, steel, or something similar!
Taking a short glimpse of the luxury debit card that had a prepaid deposit number of 100,000,000,000 USD, however, Virus was rather surprised...
He was confounded because the sign which was engraved in the middle of the card was the logo of a single brain that appeared half-natural and half-artificial. Furthermore, instead of just printing the patterns on the card, the logo was beautifully ’carved’ which resulted in the card looking even more sumptuous!
{A/N: The logo is the same as Virus Corporations brand mark, if you want to check it out, you can join our discord and see (Cover #1) in the Visual Channel. Address: https://discord.gg/u3jZDyD}
"Hmm, why is ’our’ brandmark sculpted over the card instead of the relevant financial corporation?" Virus inquired in an impressed tone. Truthfully, he quite liked the way the card was designed.
"About that... the CEO ugly told me he requested the financial services corporation of the card to design it this way. A personalized design was one of the conditions." The golden beauty explained before adding, "Also, he said the American Express has guaranteed to solve any possible issues that might pop up along the way in whichever country master wants to spend his money at."
"I see... I like it... I’m also quite fond of the card’s name... [Virus Card] by the American Express corporation." Showing a half-smile, Virus proclaimed more.
Smiling back in return, Bella exclaimed, "As long as master likes it, that’s good! If it was up to me though, I would’ve preferred naming it the Mastercard... but unfortunately, that’s been taken already, hehe..."

EIGHT MONTHS BEFORE
Ella was currently strolling on the campus area while pondering, ’I can’t believe Professor Lock is one of my teachers this semester again... that’s a bit of a unique coincidence, to be honest-’
"Hello? Are you miss Ella Dell?" Suddenly, interrupting her thinking process, a suited-up man who looked around 25 or 26 in age approached her. The man was also wearing sunglasses which made it harder to distinguish her overall face.
"Yes, but who is this?" Suspicious and a little confused, Ella questioned.
Directly offering her a contact card which provided the necessary information, the man initiated his introduction, "Hello again, my guardian name is ’Reign’ and I’m here on behalf of the [Dominators] Guild in order to invite you to be one of us."
"Huh? What?" Truly lost and even bewildered by the words of the other person, Ella continued, "Dominators? Why would the Dominators guild even want to invite me? I mean, I’m not an Abnormal... so why would such an extraordinary guild like the Dominators even-"
Before she could finish, however, the person who called himself Reign interrupted, "Please stop hiding the fact that you’re an Abnormal miss Dell since we’ve already seen the video of you blasting a huge thug with a single punch in a certain alleyway."
Hearing this, Ella’s expression went a little pale as she recalled a certain night which she still felt extremely guilty about. It wasn’t that she was traumatized about the gory bloody scene of that night nor the act of murdering and killing itself that haunted her to this day... no! That wasn’t the case at all since for some unknown reason, from the very second Virus had forced her to swallow that strange pill on the day she had been kidnapped, never again had she felt traumatized or any type of extreme emotion toward the act of killing or even slaughtering, to be honest.
No! What haunted her was the guilt of taking a precious life and committing such an unforgivable sin.
And, realizing the fact that she didn’t really feel anything extreme toward the act of murdering that person, or in other words, knowing that she was apparently utterly incapable of caring about it intensified her sense of guilt and struggle even more.
It made her feel broken.
"Ho-how did you know about that?" She asked with a bit of stutter.
"Please, miss Dell, we have our own capable resources... but that doesn’t matter, nor do we care about you killing off one scum! What matters is that I’m here and we’re indeed aware of the existence of your Trait..." Pausing momentarily, he continued, "We estimate your Trait has something to do with strengthening your body. And truthfully, we think you being that strong without consuming any Red-Crystals is something very praiseworthy! Miss Dell, you’re someone filled with a lot of untapped potentials..."
At this point, Ella was just about to open her mouth and stop him, when signaling with a single hand, Reign prevented her from speaking and proceeded calmly, "And that’s why I’m here today as the purpose of my visit is to sincerely invite you to our guild so we’d be able to assist and groom you to your full potential!"
