Lightning Is the Only Way

Power Walker's eyes widened in shock as the clerk in front of him exploded out of nowhere.

What the fuck was going on!?

The other clerks looked at the place of their dead colleague and sneered. 'Idiot,' they thought. 'You're supposed to report suspicious information, not request a background check.'

The other clerks had been in the Information Pavilion for far longer than this clerk, and they knew what this meant.

Usually, when a background check for a sensitive individual was commissioned, the clerk would only receive a severe pay cut.

However, there was one incidence when the clerk was directly killed.

That was when that person was one of the Opposer's children.

The clerks knew immediately that their dead colleague had tried to run a background check on one of the Opposer's children, but they didn't dare to check who it was.

They didn't want to die.

Instead, one of the clerks walked over and pocketed all of the dead clerk's belongings. Then, he looked at Power Walker. "How much did you pay?" they asked.

"150,000 God Stones," Power Walker said absentmindedly. He still had no idea what was going on.

The clerk handed the 150,000 God Stones back to Power Walker. "I'm sorry, but the information you requested has been classified as Top Secret. We can't help you."

The clerk didn't even check since he knew exactly that it would be classified as Top Secret.

Power Walker's eyes widened in shock. "Top Secret!? How!? Why!?" he asked in anger.

SHING!

Power Walker was forcefully teleported out of the Information Pavilion and reappeared on the streets of Opposer City, stunned.

What?

Ring, ring, ring!

Suddenly, Power Walker heard an alarm ring from beside him. He saw one of the guards holding some sort of mechanism in his hands, which pointed at him.

SHING!

A Commander in golden armor appeared in front of Power Walker. "It is forbidden to wear Aura-concealing equipment in Opposer City. Pay a fine of 1,000 God Stones or be sent to the mines!" he commanded.

Power Walker was still stunned, but his rage exploded. "What!? I didn't-"

WHOOOOM!

An incredibly powerful Will-Aura pressed down on Power Walker, and he couldn't move anymore.

"Are you resisting!?" the Commander shouted.

Power Walker gritted his teeth and put the Aura-concealing equipment back into his Spirit Space.

"Oh, it's you," the Commander said with a more relaxed tone. "Happy to see you again!"

Then, the Commander extended his right hand. "1,000 God Stones," he demanded.

Power Walker nearly exploded in anger, but he kept himself in check. He couldn't antagonize anyone here.
