Chapter 36: Forgot to buy meat!

Chapter 36

"You can use it as you please; there are many things that are sold on the exorcist web. From online resources to specialized training modules. Of course, you can't let anyone know of this. Memorize this code and destroy it afterward."

She handed him the piece of paper.

Oliver looked at the code, and it was indeed quite long and complex, but he was able to memorize it quickly. Maybe it was due to the presence of espera that his brain worked faster and much more efficiently.

To be honest, he was quite shocked that he got the access to not only the exorcist web but also the Codex network so easily.

Naturally, he knew of the exorcist web; it was the network that connected exorcists all around the world. This place was primarily used for resource trading and information trade.

A normal human with no background would never be able to access this web through any means. It was not a place where they would be allowed to mess.

He had thought that he wouldn't be able to access the exorcist web until he joined the academy in the future or left the clan considering how strictly the web was monitored and regulated by the clans.

But such an unexpected scenario occurred, and not only did he get the access to the exorcist web but also the entry to the Codex Web.

Yes, the private network of the Black Codex Federation...

He memorized the code and input it at the same time to see if it was working properly, and indeed it was.

He could see a search engine and a variety of forums with different topics, all related to exorcists.

He closed the phone and said, "This is quite convenient. As expected of the Black Codex Federation."

Jenna looked at him and pondered about how he might be one of the youngest in the history to have access to the exorcist web.

She suddenly felt like she was that old lady who would give children candy and then take them to travel around the world in her van...

No... this felt illegal for some reason.

She shook her head of such thoughts.

"That's all, the rest of the stuff is some basic documentation. Feel free to burn them after reading it, or the ink will disappear on its own in a week."

She handed him the black leather box and explained simply.

Crossing her legs, Jenna could not help but think if it was the right choice to let a kid like him inside the organization just due to a moment's instinct.

Was she being whimsical, or was there really something deep about this little boy?

She had authority high enough in the organization to invite members, but expelling them required a series of discussions with other high-level members.

So, in a sense, Oliver was more or less now a permanent member.

It was one of those times where she felt indecisive in her life...

But she could not help it; she felt a really strong intuition when she saw him casually bring out multiple artifacts and even an artifact of Epic rank as well. He was definitely not simple.

"Alright then, I will leave."

Oliver also bid her farewell; he had spent too much time in the marketplace, way more than he had expected.

He must get home quickly and start practicing the technique he had bought.

"Zippy! I am back!"

Oliver announced as he returned to his courtyard, and soon a beautiful and white cat came near him.

He looked at her and was impressed!

Her disguise technique was very terrifying... white fur; she looked just like a cloud in the form of a cat.

He picked her up and went inside, but he suddenly froze.

'Fuck! I forgot to buy meat!'

He looked at the white cat in his lap, and she also looked back at him.

The cat was clearly making an expression that said, where's the meat you promised?

"Uh..." He suddenly felt tongue-tied, not knowing what to say to her.

"We will have meat tomorrow. Today we must finish the leftovers from yesterday."

"???" The clan guardian.

He coughed lightly and put her down and quickly excused himself to the kitchen.

Hastily looking around, he searched for anything that had been left from before.

Usually, it was the maid who cooked his meals, but he knew how to cook himself, albeit he was still a novice in cooking.

Creak! Creak!

He opened one shelf after another to look for ingredients he could use.

The clan guardian would definitely be suspicious if he didn't feed her well.

Over the days, he had got to know her personality a little bit. Although she was not a cat exactly, her behavior was easily that of a cat.

As long as her belly was full and she was fed regularly on precise timings, she would remain calm and happy.

If someday, due to his training or whatever reason, he forgets to feed her, she would act grumpy and even scratch him.

"Sigh..." He suspected that the clan guardian didn't even require eating, yet this cat was quite demanding.

'Well, at least I don't have to clean after her!'

Oliver tried to think positively about having the clan guardian as his cat.

Ultimately he found some rice and uncooked fish.

His eyes lit up!

He could definitely coax her with this.

He quickly cooked rice with vegetables and cooked the fish, not forgetting to season it according to her taste.

He made the rice for himself and fish for her.

Soon, a strong aroma spread in all corners of the courtyard.

The clan guardian, who was earlier infuriated at being lied to about meat, was instantly attracted.

"Meow!"

She jumped over and quickly came near the table where Oliver ate his meals.

A freshly made fish was soon placed in front of her; just smelling the aroma was enough to make her salivate...

She had eaten countless delicacies in her lifetime prepared by the best of chefs in the clan, but it has been a very very long time since she tasted this simple and good food.

It gave her a comforting feeling, and that's also why she ate his cooking regularly.

She felt that this life was not half bad!
