John stood silently as he thought of which of his skills he could offer up. Someone with his life experiences was not lacking in personal skill or ability, but he had to pick the right one. Lex waited patiently for him as the man ruminated. Even if Mary hadn’t told him to give John a chance, he would have. He wanted to learn more about this person that even the System couldn’t identify. He was more than sure that ‘John’ was just an alias and was not this man’s real name. Finally the man decided…-

Alexander was relieved to hear that Helen was doing well. “I had the Sigmund family investigated while I was away. Things are not as straightforward as they appear to be. I’ll share the report with you once we return to Mars.” “Okay,” she responded simply. She was curious to know the details of what actually happened, and if her parents were involved in the decision to use her in the assassination. Alexander and Helen were catching up and his seniors were watching from a distance, his grandpa…

“Are you sure?” Alexander asked excitedly. “You can break through to the Nascent realm here?” “Yes,” answered Brandon with gleaming eyes. “The environment here is like inside the Fusion chamber except without all the danger and instability. I can feel the bottleneck for my body cultivation loosening. In fact, even my spiritual cultivation is already improving. This place is definitely not in our solar system.” The Morrison’s all shared a knowing look, as they tried to process the…

While the various new guests were roaming around the Inn, Helen was exploring the place herself as well. At first she was hesitant to move around the Inn lest she run into someone who recognizes her, but now with her glasses she moved around without worry. She noticed every few days some changes would be made to the Inn’s environment or new buildings would be added, and she liked exploring them. Everything was improving all the time, and the already pleasant environment was getting even better.…

Lex stood patiently as he awaited the arriving guests. This was by far the busiest day his Inn had ever seen, and he had to be ready to face any kind of hurdle. He would create more rooms, rent more A.I. assistants or do whatever else was needed to make sure everything went smoothly. A bright light flashed and Lex saw a few familiar faces. Brother Chen and Blane appeared, followed by a lady who bore a sharp resemblance to Chen. “Innkeeper,” the two soldiers acknowledged together as soon as they saw…

Lex tried to view the details for Glamor Sorcerer but unfortunately all he could see was that sorcery was a different school of power elevation (increasing one’s strength) than cultivation. It would be too awkward if Lex, as the Innkeeper and his boss, had to ask Harry what it was, which is why he would have to investigate in some other way. He then looked at the Event manager panel, barber shop and employee residence.The newly unlocked panel allowed him to easily organize and manage events at the Inn,…

Harry was in awe of the man before him, and all the amazing things he told him. Cultivation? Multiple worlds? The whole universe? These things were too vast and vague for him to comprehend – but the one thing he did understand was that this was an amazing opportunity for him. Harry had a hustling attitude. Every minute of every day his mind was either on how to make money or how to improve his skills and make connections. Truth be told the apartment he was living in wasn’t under his name, even though…

Harry wrapped Lex in the Barbers cape and sprayed his hair with cool water. “Before I begin I just want to be sure, you’re okay with me styling it as I want, right?” “Yeah no problem.” Harry nodded and as soon as he began his expression abruptly changed. Lex was staring at the kid in the mirror and saw his focused and serious look as he combed Lex’s hair into various styles. Once he decided what he wanted to go with, he started snipping. The teenager was snipping at an even pace, as if he…

“Wait, so you’ve launched a hunt for Marlo?” asked Alexander. “Yes, when you told us to look at Marlo’s recent actions we noticed that he disappeared shortly before the assassination. We did not suspect his involvement at all until then, it’s a good thing you tipped us off. We haven’t started looking for him directly, but we’ve already hinted to a few organizations on Earth that we want to know his whereabouts. They’ve already begun their hunt, it won’t be long before we find…

Lex walked to the young lady who always seemed to be surrounded by animals. Currently Helen had a rabbit in her lap, a pigeon on her shoulder and several peacocks surrounding her. Her affinity with animals was remarkably high. “I see you are enjoying the company of our new residents,” Lex said with a smile. “I was told you had a request, what may I do for you?” Helen, who was sitting on the grass, looked up at the mysterious Innkeeper. Although her mood had been down lately, the Innkeeper somehow…
