《Evolution: A Warlock’s Rise To Power》Evolution: A Warlock's Rise To Power

The days passed as it grew closer to the wedding. Lucan had noticed that Super and Silent had been spending more time together. He wasn't worried or jealous of anything. Even though Silent wouldn't tell him what they were doing, it was likely that Silent was using Super to help her find something.
Arriving in Destol, Lucan swung by the tavern that was connected to the dungeons to find the place busier than ever. After taking a look at the books he was happy to see that a large amount of gold was coming in every day. He poked his head into the instance and updated the gold count of the pirate king's treasure. It was steadily growing higher and higher. So far, no one has been able to find it and the amount of gold inside had reached over fifty thousand pieces.
Even though no one had been able to find the treasure, the players were even more excited than when it was first announced.
Lucan talked to the hostess that was in charge of reservations and found that all the dungeons had a good range of activity. His instance was the most popular, but that was likely to be attributed to the fact that multiple groups could enter at the same time without needing to make a reservation.
Soon enough, it was time to log out.
Brax got up from his capsule and took a quick shower. He checked himself in the mirror and found that his blackeye was almost gone and hardly noticeable.
After a quick breakfast, he returned to his room and began to get dressed. Today he was wearing something formal. He was putting on one of his suits.
Checking his watch, he realized he needed to pick up the pace. Brax threw on his tie and quickly did the knot before sliding into his car and pulling out of the garage.

Thankfully, he pulled up to the Beneil's right on time.
Before Brax could get out of the car and head up the walk, the front door to the house opened. Mr. Beneil, who was also dressed in a suit, and held a brief case in his hand, walked out and approached the car.
He opened the door and took a seat next to Brax.
"Good morning Mr. Beneil." Brax said.
"Hmm, I thought you were going to be late." His father-in-law remarked while opening the lid on his thermos of coffee and taking a drink.
Brax rubbed the back of his head with a bit of embarrassment. "I thought I was going to be late too. But it looks like things worked out."
The older man grunted as Brax started to type the address into his GPS. There destination was an hour and a half away.
Not wasting anymore time, Brax pulled out onto the road and began to follow the directions.

From a second-floor window, Jenna watched as her father and husband drove off together. As she looked, her phone vibrated.
[Super: I think I found something that meets your requirements. But like I said before, I have never looked for this kind of thing before. You will have to check it out yourself.]
[Jenna: Thank you, I owe you one. Send me the address when you get the chance.]
[Super: Sure, I will attach everything to an email and then send it over.]
[Jenna: Great, you are the best. If you ever come to Flower city, you have to visit Brax and I.]
[Super: Of course, but don't you think this is something you should talk to him about first, before you spend the money?]
[Jenna: Nah, he won't care. He will be excited. :D I have to run, text me if you have any more questions about how to deal with Bubblegum.]

Jenna set down her phone and started to change out of her pajamas. By the time she was finished, Super's email had arrived.
She ran down the stairs to find her mother and sister still eating breakfast. She quickly looked around the room.
"Where is Aunt Helen? Did she leave already?" Jenna asked with a pout.
Mrs. Beneil nodded. "She got a call and had to head out. She should be back tonight, although I don't know if she will be back before you start playing Evolution."
Jenna frowned but then shook it off. "Since Dad and Brax are gone, the both of you said that you would accompany me today. Are you ready to head out in a bit?"
"Already? So fast. I thought it would at least take you a couple weeks." Said Holly who was picking at her food.
"I just got an address this morning."
"Of course we will go with you." Said Mrs. Beneil. "But I do think you should let your father know sooner, rather than later."
"Umm… I will tell him soon." Said Jenna softly.
Holly shrugged. "He isn't going to be happy, no matter when you tell him."
Mrs. Beneil thought about it and then nodded in agreement.
***
In the car, silence hung between Brax and Mr. Beneil. Brax had tried to start a conversation a few times, but Mr. Beneil did nothing to keep the conversation going. He would only occasionally nod and sip his coffee.
"So, umm, the wedding is going to be happing in the game tonight. Have you already made you character so that you can come?" Brax asked.
Mr. Beneil nodded but didn't say much more.
Brax gave up on making conversation, besides he could see their destination in the distance. Turning off the main street. He pulled into the parking lot of an industrial complex. They came to a stop in front of a unit that was currently being rented to InvinoTech.
Once the car was in park, Mr. Beneil turned towards Brax and actively spoke to him. "Alright, I will go over their finances and take a look around while you check out the warehouse. Don't forget to talk to the lower-level staff. They will probably offer you a tour guide who will steer you clear from anything they don't want you to see. Make sure that you aren't fooled by them. If everything looks good, we can move forward with the purchase.
