I Can Contract Beauties-Chapter 187: Happy Reading

Miguel looked up at the high sun as he and the two beauties came out of the villa.

Their destination was the Red Family’s library, which also happened to be the largest library in the whole Blazing City.

Following the information given to him by Damian previously, Miguel and the two arrived in a lone building at one corner of the Red Family headquarters.

The building was pretty large and occupied a large area.

Miguel looked around and observed the people coming to and fro the library with serious faces. All of them seemed to be immersed in a world of their own as they muttered to themselves while walking as though recalling something from inside their head.

Miguel saw young and old alike. The library was one of the core areas of the Red Family. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

According to Damian, not only normal books, the second level of the library and upwards also stores valuable information like valuable techniques and knowledge that was not available to the public.

It was a place full of valuable information, hence, it was heavily guarded twenty four seven.

Aside from the guards that patrolled around the area, there was also a powerful elder guarding the place.

The Red Family has a point system that was also a form of currency that can only be used in the Red Family.

Youngsters and even Elders can gain points through various missions.

Erika fetched the Grimoire Summoners in Peach Village and received such points as a reward.

The points can then be used as a real currency. They can buy items, books, and even the guidance of an elder if they have many of such points they called Red Points.

In the second level of the library and upwards, everyone needs to pay a certain amount of Red Points before they can enter.

However, since he was a guest Elder especially invited by the Red Family, Miguel, or rather, Journey, has no need to be included in this points system at all.

The moment he arrived at the door of the library, two guards of considerable strength wearing shining armors immediately bowed their heads toward him after he showed them the token that Domen had brought to him a few days ago.

Journey’s identity has already been circulated around for the past few days.

Those who did know him in the Red Family at this time were simply pretending or those who just came back from a mission.

Even the children were aware of his existence as parents would use his name to scare off their misbehaving children.

The guards, trained and well informed, naturally

Glancing at them, Miguel realized that they were indeed very strong. Sensing their strength, he gauges that they should be at Advance Adept Martial Artist rank.

The two guards shivered in fright upon feeling his scrutinizing gaze. Without waiting for him to speak, they immediately opened the door of the library to let him and the two women beside him in.

As their figure disappeared from their view, the two guards wiped the sweat at the corner of their forehead as they released a relieved sigh in unison.

"So that’s Elder Journey. I almost did not recognize him because of the new mask he is wearing. Fortunately, he did not make it hard for the both of us and directly showed his token, or else..."

The guard did not continue his sentence, but the guard beside him already knew what he was trying to say.

He nodded his head in agreement and said, "That other girl must be the second strong summon that I’ve been hearing these past few days. I heard she is equally as strong as the first one."

"It’s good that we don’t provoke such a person. It’s too dangerous. Even just a casual gaze from him already made my soul tremble in fear and made my body frozen still."

"But with such a strong elder, we can be rest assured of the Red Family’s future."

...

Meanwhile, Miguel did not hear the conversation of the two guards outside. And even if he did, he would simply not care and would just focus on his own agenda.

Upon stepping inside the door, Miguel immediately took a quick cursory glance.

At the very front was a small receptionist table. Behind it were the books neatly arranged on the shelves.

The inside of the library looked massive and huge.

Books neatly piled in the row of shelves could be seen as far as the naked eye could see. In between these shelves were a reading table that was almost packed with people reading intently.

Miguel walked to the receptionist table in front and immediately showed his token to the receptionist.

The receptionist was a middle-aged woman wearing reading glasses and a formal dress. She has a red hair that looked bloody and dark, compared to the bright hair of Erika and the others.

Miguel stared at the woman intently with a scrutinizing gaze.

She looked up and met Miguel’s gaze for the first time before she quickly turned to look at the token that he was showing to her.

As though she was not surprised, she bowed her head toward him normally and spoke with a pleasant voice, "Good day, Elder Journey. My name is Carmen and I am the current librarian and receptionist of the Red Family’s library."

"There are a total of five floors in the Red Family library. Each of them corresponds to a level with each level storing different kinds of books and information according to their rarity, and preciousness."

"Right, beast are not allowed to be summoned inside the library as well as fighting and making loud noises are strictly forbidden here. However, I heard that your summons are very intelligent and were like humans so I’ll allow it."

"Normally, a member would show me their tokens and I will check if they have enough points and seniority to go to certain floors to read and buy a copy of the books that they want."

"To prevent the others from taking advantage of such a system, a member could only spend a limited period of time in the upper floors depending on their Red Points."

"However, as you have this token, I can allow you to go to any area you want except for the fifth floor, which is strictly forbidden to enter unless you have the necessary permission from the elders and the current leader of the Red Family."

"If you have any more questions, you can ask me and I will answer to the best of my abilities. If you want information about certain books, you can ask me as well and I’ll let you know if we have such a book on all floors in the library."

"If you don’t have any more questions, then I shan’t disturb you any more. Happy reading!"
