Apocalypse After

Preparation Completed

In the afternoon.

Annie didn't go straight back to the castle. He planned to go to a hiding place to calm down. The woman needs to digest everything that happens.

“Does anyone bother you?” ask Mei.

While walking, Annie glanced towards Mei. The woman was not only his servant or protector, but also his best friend. You could say, Mei was the one who understood Annie the most besides herself. The woman was also very sensitive, so she knew the slightest change in her mood.

“Nothing,” replied Annie.

“Faust Vermillion?” ask Mei.

“Do not ask if you already know.” Annie smiled wryly.

“...” Mei nodded without saying another word.

After walking for quite a while, they finally arrived at the hiding place without anyone following. When they entered, they were greeted by an incredible sight. Both of them could see Chris propping up his chin while looking at Yona who was acting so strangely.

“Is something wrong?” ask Annie.

“Entahlah. He's been like that since he came home last night. Could it be that being cooped up here for so long made his brain a little messy?” Chris tilted his head.

“You're not worried? Isn't he your beloved friend?” fashion Annie with a smile on her face.

“That tengil girl? My pal? Please don't make such an unfunny joke, Chairman.” Chris took a long breath.

“Who do you call a girl?! Hmph! At least I'm better than a macho woman like you!” yona said as she lifted her nose, looking a little arrogant.

“...”

The corner of Chris' lips twitched. She did not expect Yona to hear her words at all, even the woman immediately replied to her so loudly.

Christine, the woman who is often called Chris is actually beautiful. It's just, he has temperament like a man. The woman liked to forge and make various utensils, so her hair was cut a bit short so as not to disturb. Also, due to practicing a lot of forging, his body was quite strong, even having a six-pack stomach.

“It looks like the light metal used to forge your weapon is exhausted. I was too tired to look for other materials, so work was a little delayed,” Chris said with a flat expression on his face.

“It's cheating!” yona shouted dissatisfied. “You immediately used the threat theory because you couldn't reply to my words. It's cheating!”

Seeing the two begin to quarrel, Annie immediately approached Yona. He stroked the woman's head then while saying, “Stop teasing her, Chris.”

“Baik~” replies Chris with a lazy expression on his face.

“Omong by the way, why do you look happy, Yona? Is there anything good going on?” ask Annie kindly.

“Hey! Actually, there is something good going on. I met V yesterday. Then because I was upset, last night I squeezed a lot of wine out of him. He is also quite good at making potions, so next time I plan on squeezing some. At least it can be sold for extra pocket money!” yona was proud.

Hearing the name being called, a shocked expression flashed across Annie's face. He hurriedly changed his expression to be as friendly as ever, then spoke to Yona.

“Did you see him yesterday? I wonder what happened after, so ..”

“Can you tell me the details?”

***

Almost two months passed.

Alexander who was wearing a robe walked towards the outskirts of District 3 with a tired expression. After organizing the workers and guards for approximately two months, he felt somewhat tired from the many things that needed to be addressed. Whether it's the laziness of the workers, or the less-than-scrupulous guards. So, there were a lot of things he needed to direct himself in this time.

“Is it finished, V? This fast?” ask Mr. Lenka who is walking beside him.

“If it's a regular house, with a large number of workers, it can definitely be finished faster. But what was built this time is different, so please be understood.” Alexander replied casually, neither arrogant nor humble.

“I hope it's as good as you said before, V. Hopefully his performance does not disappoint the three of us.” Mr. Wilson added with a smile on his face.

After a while of walking, they saw the roof of a building that was taller than any other building. Even quite tall and towering.

Arriving there, they were immediately greeted with a magnificent three-story building. The shape is pretty beautiful. Most of the buildings are made of stone, some of them of brick and wood. In addition, there are some extras such as chandeliers and various other accessories.

A beautiful building with a large courtyard in the front, back, or side of the building. Totally different from the buildings around it. Like a phoenix mixed with a flock of chickens. Looks so flashy.

“There are three doors on the first floor because the first relaxing is divided into three parts. The front, which will be used as a store. The back-left for changing clothes, resting, putting weapons, and some other necessities of the guards. At the back-right, there is a large section to serve as a material storage warehouse and a small section for a simple kitchen.

For more details, let me take the three of you around.”

After saying that, Alexander immediately invited them into the building. After entering the front door, they were immediately greeted with a very spacious room. There is a straight wall at the back, but there are also stairs on the left and right of the wall.

The room was so spacious that hundreds of people could enter together. This made the three people confused. At that point, Alexander began to explain.

“Left and right parts will be blocked. Only the middle is wide enough. On the left and right will be built a semi-open space where we will sell a lot of goods. With this size, we can open ten stores the size of Vermillion Shop. Four on the left, four on the right, and two on the back near the dividing wall.

Each of us has two places. Whether it is used alone to sell goods, or rented out, depending on how we use it.”

Hearing Alexander's explanation, the three people were a little confused. Mr Wilson then asked, “Didn't it amount to ten? Why do you count only two?”

Alexander pointed to the furthest spot near both stairs then said, “It should be there to be used for two stores, but there are more important uses. The middle section will be used for receptionists who receive guests, the left section is used for the break room, and the right section is used as an archive room to store the data of the visitors.”

“Is it worth noting?” ask Mr. Lenka confused.

“Of course it matters. If recorded in detail and checked for authenticity, it can be used to track people if there is an unwanted incident,” said Sir Gareth. He glanced at Alexander. “Good idea. When can it be completed?”

“Bottest two weeks,” says Alexander. “Main building is finished, just need to add some things. You can also prepare to open what kind of store.”

“So so.” Sir Gareth nodded with a serious expression.

After that Alexander invited the three to see the workers' room where there were 60 iron lockers outside and there was a rather small office with six lockers in it. Clearly, public spaces were used for guard members, while special rooms were for team leaders. In addition, there was also an empty warehouse and kitchen.

Finished touring the first floor, they headed straight for the second floor. The second floor has a higher ceiling. The front looks wider. Near the wall, a stage looks quite magnificent. There are hundreds of chairs that rise like in a movie theater. Hundreds of seats. At the back of the row of chairs, there are ten different rooms so that it is more privacy.

“What is the room for V? Besides, isn't the number of seats too much?” ask Mr. Lenka.

“We will make a massive auction where not only a few people from a certain group come, but free hunters without groups can come. As long as it's a customer, we can accept it. Of course there are certain criteria to enter as a guest.

As for the room, just think of it as a VIP room. We each have one room. There are 6 left, right? Use for important guests who deserve to sit there .. for example those nobles.”

Hearing Alexander's words, everyone was shocked. At that time they immediately realized that Alexander's plan was not only to popularize the auction house to ordinary hunters, but also the higher-ups of Shelter 1. What an incredible ambition.

After that, Alexander again invited them to go to the spacious backstage area. There are warehouses, working rooms, and places to store items that will be auctioned.

Finished touring the second floor, Alexander took them to the third floor.

Compared to the two floors below, this place was slightly smaller. Of course, it was not that small as there was a rather round spacious room in the middle and four large rooms. And at the front of the wide space, there was an open place where they could see the view of Shelter 1.

“Last place is our relaxing place. This open space will be used to relax, gather together, or even conduct a meeting. Oho! I forgot.”

Alexander took out a key then threw one at each person, then continued.

“The big room belongs to you. You can use it as a regular room, place to store goods, or leave it empty. So, are you guys satisfied with this place? By the way ..”

Looking at the people who looked surprised and confused, Alexander spread out his hands. Having a grin behind his mask, the man asked.

“How about we talk about what business will be opened so that it does not conflict with each other?”
