Ruler's Awakening: Inheritor of the SSS-Rank Dimensional Talent-Chapter 142: Another Activities
Karen managed to make a successful ascension smoothly and without any problems. Arthur applauded, feeling proud of their achievement.
After the two had performed Talent Ascension, Arthur stepped from the waiting room to the administration desk. There, Sara and Karen had to pay the administrative fees agreed upon earlier.
"The total price is 100,000 RL," said the female administrative staff.
Sara was shocked by the nominal price displayed by the female staff before her. Performing Ascension in this place was very expensive, unlike the previous place —the 10th-floor city.
The administrative staff showed the details of the administration fee. One person was charged 50,000 RL for one Ascension. Karen was upset, wondering what made the price so high.
Arthur broke up their argument as it could potentially make people suspicious. Arthur took the digital payment box and paid the administration fee in full.

"Thank you for performing the Ascension Talent in our cathedral. Please feel free to come back if you need anything," the staff said, to which Karen replied with an annoyed expression.
"I’m not gonna step foot in this blackmailer’s trap again!" snapped Karen.
As Karen and Sara waltzed out of the room, Arthur noticed that people’s gazes were focused on him. He apologized for the trouble his two friends had caused, Arthur strode after the two women.
"Oh gosh. Can you guys calm down a bit?" asked Arthur, asking the two women to walk more leisurely.
"What the hell is the price? I’ll never do Ascension Talent in this place again," Karen complained.
They finally left the town cathedral, Arthur was relieved that there were many Night Liberators inside. Fortunately, none of them knew Arthur.
"But for some reason, my body feels light and powerful after doing the Ascension talent," Sara said, showing that she easily brought up her magic aura with her hands.
"Not only has the power of your talent increased, but so has your CP."
"You guys should start practicing for—"
DING!
Just as Arthur spoke, he looked to the side where a message notification appeared on Sara’s panel. Sara squinted and opened the message; it was Mona.
[Sender: Mona]
[Hey, are you done? Can you do me a favor? There’s a bunch of men who keep following me. They’re from the Night Liberators group.]
[If you read my message, come to the fork in the road in the southern district near the bakery. I’ll wait there until you pick me up.]
"What is it?" asked Arthur, curious.
"It’s from Mona. She’s asking for our help," said Sara.
Sara, without hesitation, showed the message to Arthur and Karen. Arthur squinted and tried to understand what Mona was feeling, while Karen reacted violently by cursing.
"I’m gonna kill that fucking man!" threatened Karen, being calmed down by Arthur.
"Calm down. If you kill them, it will affect our relationship with the Night Liberators," Arthur said.
"So, what are we gonna do?" asked Sara, curious.
"We’ll pick up Mona and go home with her. That’s much better as it avoids a fight."
Sara and Karen agreed. They left with Arthur stepping, leading them in front. Mona’s location was not that far from the town’s cathedral, so Arthur and the others could arrive quickly.
From afar, he spotted the bakery at a fork in the road in the southern district. The woman with large boobs was seen sitting on a metal chair outside the bakery, leisurely eating the warm bread held in her hands.
Sara and Karen ran over to Mona, hugging her and checking on her condition. Mona said that she was fine, just a bit scared.
Arthur stepped up and arrived near Mona. Glancing to the side and the surrounding area, Arthur noticed some suspicious movements of the Night Liberators. But, when they exchanged glances with Arthur, they left the place immediately.
"They’re gone," Arthur said.
Karen still felt a sense of annoyance in her heart. She stepped closer to Arthur and looked in the same direction as the man. She wanted to teach that jerk a lesson.
"Don’t think about it. The most important thing is that Mona is okay," Arthur said. Karen took a deep breath and let it out slowly.
The two turned and stared back, Sara stepping into Mona’s arms while carrying a paper bag filled with the raw food Mona had bought at the market.
It was more than enough to last them for a couple of weeks —the ingredients from the previous meal were almost rotten.
Sara and Karen shared that she had done the Ascension Talent. Sara went to the second stage, while Karen went to the last stage. Mona was happy with her friends’ achievements, yet a sadness haunted her mind.
"How about the three of you do a Talent Point Gathering?" asked Arthur, looking back.
"Gathering? I haven’t done one in a long time."
"Right. I heard that the Town Cathedral can hold a gathering. If you want, you can go there."
Arthur suggested so as to help Mona’s heart better than before. Sara agreed; it sounded exciting to her. However, Karen refused as she was still upset with the attitude of the staff there, the blackmailing staff.

"What about you? Don’t you want to do Gathering or Ascension?" asked Mona.
"The TP on both my talents is full, I can’t do Gathering. As for Ascension, the Town Cathedral does not provide Ascension options for Rank S-R and SSS-R," Arthur replied.
"But you don’t have to worry. I have no problem with my talents."
Mona nodded. Karen looked to the side, in the end, the woman agreed to do the Gathering together at the Town Cathedral.
Mona looked enthusiastic, without Arthur expecting it, she handed over all her shopping bags to Arthur.
"You take everything home. We’ll take our leave, Arthur," Mona said.
The three women walked quickly away from the place towards the town centre, in the direction of the Town Cathedral, which was getting increasingly crowded with adventurers. Arthur smiled and chuckled at their attitude.
"Oh gosh, those girls."
Arthur let them have their fun there. He returned to the house to put away the ingredients Mona had bought.
Arriving at the beautiful two-story house, Arthur saw Miki chatting with Thalenia. The two were sitting next to each other on a tree swing made of vines, which Thalenia had made.
Sensing Arthur’s presence, Thalenia got off the swing and waved, greeting Arthur gently. The man smiled and told Thalenia to relax today.
Arthur put away the ingredients in the kitchen. Once in a while, he wiped his sweat with a clean handkerchief.
WOSH!
The man appeared to squint sharply. He looked back when he felt a strong fluctuation of magic energy. The maroon magic light filled the place; Arthur widened his eyes with his mouth wide open.
"Aerith?" asked Arthur.
"Hello, Aaron. You seem to be living comfortably in this house," Aerith replied.
Arthur smiled. He stepped closer to the woman in the black dress as his right arm wrapped around her waist. Arthur’s face was so close to Aerith’s they could feel each other’s breath.
"Let me guess. You came over to do that with me, didn’t you?" Arthur asked.
"It was you who wanted it, not me."
"I know."
Arthur’s hands reached inside Aerith’s dress. Yet, the woman held back the man’s hands as she whispered something wildly into Arthur’s ear.
"Take me to a better place, Arthur."
"As you wish."
