THE KING OF THE UNIVERSE 131 He Is My Friend

The Receptionist asked, " Lord Arjun! I beg your pardon if I have offended you. But are you sure, they really came out of the maze?"

Arjun was p.i.s.sed. He said in disappointment, " Are you for real? I told you that I have seen them coming out of the maze with my own two eyes. They were with me since then. Are you trying to say that I'm blind?"

That receptionist was terrified. Sweat was pouring down from her body. Arjun who saw this was stunned. He thought

[ Why is she terrified that much? I was acting arrogantly to make my acting look real.]

[ Not only you. Even each and every one of the people in this room are looking at me as if I'm some kind of king.]

[What happened in this past 10 years to make everyone so respectful towards me?]

Arjun said, " Whatever. Let me tell you once again. I don't know whether they have really cleared the maze to some part or not. But they really came out of The Maze. I can be a witness for it. Do you understand?"

That receptionist nodded her head in hurry. She said in fear, " I'm not doubting your statement Lord Arjun. It's just that I want to make sure that did they really come out of the maze or not. Thank you for your statement, My Lord. Please forgive my earlier rudeness."

Arjun said, " Can I leave now? It's been a very long time since I have seen my family. I have to go now and meet them. Or is there any other proceduce left for me to do?"

Receptionist said in hesitation, " Actually....."

At that time another voice came from behind, " There is no need for that My Lord!"

When everyone looked at the owner of the voice, they found an old man with long white beard and mustache walking towards them . He has a friendly smile on his face.

Receptionist said in respect, " Greetings, Manager!"

Everyone who heard her saying manager understood who he is. That old man is the manager of the Adventure's a.s.sociation.

That Manager said, " Rosy! You know what status Lord Arjun has in the world, right?"

That receptionist named Rosy replied, " Yes, Sir."

Manager asked with calm tone, " Then why would ask such kind of ridiculous question with a person with that kind of high status?"

Rosy was scared. She said, " I acknowledge my mistake. Please forgive me, Sir."

Manager looked towards Arjun and said, " My Lord! Please go. No one will stop you. Please forgive her earlier behaviour."

Arjun didn't know what was happening. But he knew one thing for sure. It is related with him being the Prince of The Star Moon Empire. So he took the advantage of it.

Arjun said, " Thank you, Manager. You can go with the legal procedure with Jimmy and d.i.c.k. They are my friends. So don't irritate them with a bunch of ridiculous questions."

Everyone were stunned when they heard the word "Friend". Who would mess with the friend of a person of high status like Arjun? No one.

Manager said, " Rest a.s.sured, my Lord! I a.s.sure you that you won't be receiving any complaint from your honourable friends about our hospitality. Please rest a.s.sured."

Arjun nodded his head and looked towards Jimmy and said, " Shall I wait for you? Let's go together to my home. My grandfather will be happy to meet you. He likes the person of your characters very much."

Jimmy said, " No need for that, my friend. You already helped us a lot. I'll visit after the procedure is completed here. You have already given me your address. I'll come. You didn't meet your family for a very long time. Just go and meet them. We will come later."

Arjun said, " Are you sure?"

Jimmy said, " Yes. I'm sure. Don't worry."

Arjun said, " Alright! See you later."

Arjun left the Adventure's a.s.sociation.Everyone in the room looked at Jimmy and d.i.c.k with envious look.

Rosy said, " Honourable guests! Please forgive my earlier rude behaviour."

Jimmy said, " I didn't see any rudeness with your behaviour. You were doing your job. We cleared some part of The Maze. Coming out alive from the maze itself is very big achievement. I know that no one would believe us, if I say that I came out alive from the maze. Needless to if I say that I have cleared some part of it. You didn't do anything wrong. Don't worry."

Rosy felt her heart at ease. She said, " Thanks for your understanding."

Manager said, " Honourable guests. Please come to my cabin. We will complete the rest of the procedure in my cabin."

Jimmy said, " Sure."

Manager took Jimmy and d.i.c.k to his room. Everyone who saw this scene were stunned completely. They were enving with Jimmy and d.i.c.k.

On the way Rick said to Arjun through Mental connection, " Cr*p! I didn't understand even a single thing. Boss, What the h.e.l.l is going on? Do you understand?"

Arjun said, " I don't know. But I have a guess. I think it has something to do with me being the prince of the Star Moon Empire."

Rick felt enlightened. He said, " That's right! All the things that we did in the Bloom Kingdom might have led to the revelation of your ident.i.ty. Afterall we also exposed the truth of Nege being the member of the a.s.sa.s.sins Organisation."

Arjun said, " That's right! But this is just a possibility. So don't believe that it is revealed that I'm the rightful hier of the kingdom. We were in the maze. So make them believe that we don't know what happened for the past 10 years."

Rick said, " That's right."

Arjun said, " Whatever. I think I did a good thing by bringing one of my clone here. Generally I wanted to use my grandfather's name to make Jimmy's claim of coming out alive from maze as a proof. That's why I created a clone and gave it Arjun's role. But I was shocked to see the reception I got here. So I used Arjun's fame and made everyone believe that both Arjun and Jimmy are friends. This old manager will not bother us that much. He will treat us practically like kings. So rest a.s.sured."

Rick said, " Yes."

They reached the top floor where the manager's cabin exists. They entered the room. Manager sat on his seat. Jimmy and d.i.c.k sat on the seat opposite to the manager. A table was present in between them.

Manager took a pen and paper. He asked, " So. Honourable Guests! Let's start the procedure."
