Plundering in the Apocalypse
Chapter 235 Surprised Mastisk!



As Shin woke up in his bed. He glanced at his side and Alice's figure was missing. He checked the time; it was 11 A.M.

With a sigh, he left for the bathroom to take a shower and freshen his mind.

This feeling of being kept in the dark. He hated the most. Moreover, he himself was to blame for his lack of strength.

A while later, Shin went downstairs. He found that Reina and Aurora were in the living room while Alfred and Emily were nowhere to be seen.

"Hey, Mom, Aurora, where are the others?" Shin asked as he gave a small glance to Aurora, who was watching the news on the television. For some reason, he felt like she was ignoring him.

'Was it on purpose?' Shin thought as he noticed Aurora quickly averted her eyes from him when he glanced at her.

"Your Dad went to search for the current information regarding the Wolner Clan and Emily went to look for a hotel."

"I see," Shin nodded thoughtfully, wondering where will Alfred search for this information.

"Take your breakfast from the kitchen."

"Okay." Shin was about to step forward when Reina's next question made his steps halt.

"Where is Alice?"

"Um, well." Shin didn't know how to explain the existence of the sanctuary and the immortal Alice. 'Maybe it is better to leave the explanation for Alice.'

Before Shin left the sanctuary, Alice told him that she will be there for some time. Hence, he had to leave alone.

While he was still hesitating, Reina frowned and said displeasedly, "As I thought, you brat must have exhausted her."

Shin knew Reina misunderstood him. So he immediately wanted to correct this misunderstanding.

"No, Mom, it's not like that. Alice herself was very active. If you hadn't knocked in the morning."

"YOU SHUT UP!!" Reina shouted sharply. "I don't want to hear this from you. Because of your noises, your dad was having trouble sleeping."

Aurora, whose focus seemed to be on TV, had a red face when she heard them talk. Just remembering the voices she heard this morning made her embarrassed. That is also the reason she couldn't look into Shin's eyes, feeling guilty for some unknown reason.

Shin and Reina didn't notice Aurora's changes.

"Mom, Alice is inside her Soul Space. She will come out later. I'll give you a telepathic link with her. You can talk yourself."

With those words, Shin left for the kitchen and took his portion of breakfast.

Only when the link was connected with Alice didn't Reina stop glaring at Shin.

After breakfast, Shin was about to go out when his footsteps stopped.

"Aurora, do you want to come with me?"

"Huh?"

Aurora was stunned for a moment, as she had difficulty looking into his eyes.

"Well, you have nothing better to do, right?" Shin asked.

Aurora shook her head in response.

"I am going to meet with the guild members. We can take Emily on our way, too. Let's introduce you to them."

Only after she heard his purpose did Aurora come to her senses. She looked at him seriously and nodded. "Let's go."

Watching Aurora and Shin leaving together. Reina was a bit thoughtful. But she shook her head and went to clean Shin's room.

She was still oblivious to what kind of mess she was about to see.

***

Taking Emily, who they met on the way. They flew towards the location of their guild's headquarters. Which is still in the process of completion.

On their way, Emily felt like the atmosphere between the three of them was too quiet. 'Is it because Alice is not here?'

She couldn't understand, so she didn't care. Anyway, she liked it this way.

With Shin's upgrade of Gravity Control (C) to Gravity (A) it didn't take long for them to reach their destination.

'Wow, Mr. Mastisk's work sure is fast. As you would expect from a Dwarven Expert. It seems he really can complete the work in a week.'

As the three of them landed, they were immediately spotted by a group of people.

"Mr. Shin!"

"Oh Hi, Shu Ming." Shin saw the girl who called out to him. Behind her, some other girls were also following her. Looking at them, he gave a gentle nod.

Although Shu Ming was excited, she seems to be searching for a figure.

"Where is Miss Alice?"

"Well, she is busy, so she didn't come." When Shin said this, not only Shu Ming, but all the other girls also looked at him wide-eyed.I think you should take a look at

"What is it?"

"No, no, it's just." Shaking her head, Shu Ming explained with some hesitation. "Miss Alice, focusing on something else instead of clinging to you is surprising."

Shin was speechless. But when he thought back on it. It sounds pretty reasonable.

Shu Ming and the other girls' eyes fell on Aurora and Emily behind Shin. As they curiously looked at them. Of course, they have seen that video and they were also happy that now everyone recognized Shin and Alice as saviors. Because they too have been saved by them. But this also made them curious about the identity of Aurora and Emily.

Seeing their curious eyes, Shin said, "Well, let me introduce you to these two." Pointing towards the vampire duo, he continued. "They are Aurora and Emily. The friends I made in Polaris city and they will join our guild."

Then he turned his head back to Aurora and Emily as he said, "These girls are also the members of our guild."

Aurora glanced at them and asked, "Non-combatants?"

With Shin's affirmative nod. Aurora's small frown also relaxed. As both of them also took the initiative to communicate with them.

Leaving the girls to chat, Shin entered the half-completed building in front of him.

As soon as he entered, he heard a loud sound of metal clashing.

In front of him, he saw Simon smashing his big hammer into something.

While Celeste was talking with a young man, who was actually Mastisk in disguise.

As Simon seemed busy, Shin didn't disturb him and walked closer to Mastisk and Celeste. Mastisk had already discovered him when he came here. But as he was in the middle of explanation, he didn't stop.

Shin also didn't disturb them. Only when his explanation was complete did Mastisk look at him and said, "Oh, you are already back. I didn't expect you to become a little Savior. Hunting demons is good."

If Shin hadn't known Mastisk's real identity as an Elder Dwarf. He really would have felt odd by the way the young human in front of him talked.

"Well, a lot of things happened." Shin nodded with a sigh.

Suddenly, the sound of hammering stopped as both Simon and Celeste turned to look at him in surprise.

"You are back." Simon was the first to exclaim.

"Hey, bud, you reek of sweat." Shin looked at him and said jokingly.

Celeste wasn't that close with Shin, but had good feelings for him. So she greeted politely. "Welcome back, Boss."

Shin also nodded back at her.

Looking at Shin, Simon immediately thought of Elena. He wanted to have a talk with him. But at this moment, Mastisk's voice sounded.

"Did I allow you lads you take a break?"

Simon and Celeste looked at Mastisk bitterly. They knew there was no point arguing and can only continue working. This old man was too stubborn.

Both of them knew Mastisk's real identity as Elder Dwarf. Shin had already told them before leaving for Polaris City. For the last few days, they had to keep the act of ignorance.

Mastisk and Shin went to another location to chat.

"You can see the work is going pretty well. I wonder when can you complete your promise."

Before Shin could say anything, Mastisk continued. "I see that you have been pretty busy because of demons and such. So we can extend your time if you want."

When Shin heard this, a small smile appeared on his face.

'It seems this dwarf is pretty good.'

Looking at Mastisk, Shin also thought of the Elves they met in Polaris City.

Although they asked for friendship, Shin felt that there was something else behind it. So he didn't accept it right away.

But he wondered if he could somehow tie Mastisk with his guild in the future.

'Well, I can think about that later.'

"Thank you, Mr. Mastisk. But fortunately, I managed to prepare it in due time," Shin said with a smile.

But when Mastisk heard it. He looked at him incredulously.

"Really?"

Shin nodded and took out five Mana stones in front of Mastisk's surprised eyes.

"It's real. But how?"

Mastisk couldn't believe it.

Even if Shin was strong enough to defeat a level 6 dungeon monster. There are no higher-level dungeons in this world yet. Where could he replace these mana stones?

Moreover, it's only been a few days. Even if he somehow found such a dungeon, how could he clear it so fast? Also, from what he saw, Shin and his girl were busy fighting demons. So when did he replace these mana stones?
