The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel...

Chapter 137 Headquarters

Despite having "sea" in its name, Cape City is actually a city located in the heart of the mainland.

The origin of the name "Cape" for this city has long been lost in the dust of history and cannot be traced.

This is the meeting place that Wes and Ultear agreed to meet.

When Wes found Ultear, she was sitting in a well-known ice cream shop with a large, colorful ice cream in front of her.

She looked like an ordinary girl next door, with no hint that she was a member of the "Devil's Heart" organization.

"You really have plenty of free time, huh? You're the council's number one wanted criminal now, aren't you afraid of being recognized?"

Wes ordered a coffee and sat down in the chair opposite Urutia.

"Same to you."

Urudia took off her sunglasses and handed a newspaper to Wes. "Now you're a celebrity."

The front page of the newspaper prominently featured Weiss's photo, along with an astonishing reward.

"It seems that this council really went all out."

Weiss looked at the contents of the newspaper, a slight smile playing on his lips, seemingly unsurprised by the result.

Urutia gently stirred the ice cream with the spoon, turning it into a mess. "The more chaotic the situation, the better."

After saying that, she stood up, a smile on her face.

"Let's go, Lord Hades has been waiting for a long time."

Wes glanced at his almost untouched coffee in front of him and muttered to himself that Ultear might have done this to get revenge on him.

"How petty."

He muttered a comment under his breath, then took a sip of his coffee. "So-so."

He left enough banknotes to pay the bill and turned to follow Urutia.

Both of them were highly skilled and arrived at an abandoned mining area about ten kilometers away from the town in a very short time.

The area is filled with jagged rocks and towering rocky hills, resembling a natural maze where ordinary people cannot easily find the entrance.

Urudia led Wes through the rugged terrain, turning left and right, until they passed through a narrow path and suddenly the view opened up before them.

A massive airship lay silently on the ground, its enormous size contrasting sharply with its surroundings, like a sleeping beast.

"Welcome to the headquarters of the Devil's Heart."

Urutia smiled and raised his hand in acknowledgment.

As she moved, the airship's belly slowly opened, revealing an exquisite staircase extending down.

Urudia stepped onto the stairs first, turning back to give Wes a provocative look.

Wes remained unmoved and silently followed, climbing the stairs.

Upon entering the airship, the two neatly arranged rows of personnel greeted Ultear in unison, saying, "Welcome back, Lady Ultear!" and bowing deeply in respect.

Among this group of people, a girl with short pink hair, wearing headphones, with a cute appearance but a slightly cool expression, was already waiting there.

When she saw Urutia, a smile appeared on her face, but she quickly suppressed it.

"Urutia!!"

Her voice held a mixture of affection and barely concealed joy.

"I'm back, Melty."

"Urudia said gently, and patted the girl's head lightly."

Melty, like a docile kitten, enjoyed Urudia's caresses, her face beaming with a happy smile.

However, when she realized that Wes was also present, an outsider, her cheeks flushed slightly.

Urudia gave Wes a disdainful look.

Wes shrugged innocently, as if to indicate that he hadn't done anything.

"Let's go, I'll take you to meet your companions."

As Urtia spoke, she took Melty's little hand and led her forward.

At this moment, they were at the very bottom of the airship, in the warehouse area where goods and supplies were stored.

The airship has an extremely spacious interior, capable of accommodating at least several hundred people.

For ease of movement, the airship is equipped with multiple elevators, including one specifically for senior officers.

Weiss followed Urrutia and Melty into the elevator reserved for officials.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Through the elevator's transparent glass windows, one can see the intricate structure inside the airship and the busy people moving about.

As the elevator ascended smoothly, they were about to head to a higher floor.

Through the elevator's transparent glass, Wes saw the interior of the airship: a spacious dining hall, tidy dormitories, an intense fighting arena, and even a place for the members to relax and have fun.

This airship is practically a complete mobile town, with all the necessary facilities.

"Unless members have special missions, they will stay on the command ship. The command ship will not stay in one place for more than three days, but will fly aimlessly in the air so that the council and regular guilds cannot find our whereabouts."

Urutia proudly introduced the unique features of this airship.

"That is indeed a good idea."

Wes' response was rather cold; in his view, no matter how amazing the airship was, it couldn't compare to Hogwarts.

The elevator quickly reached the top floor, which is considered to be the core of the Demon Heart organization.

The president and all the executives have their rooms on this floor. Whenever a major event occurs, Hades will gather all the executives together to discuss countermeasures.

The decor on this floor is extremely luxurious, with soft and textured carpets made of very precious materials.

The walls on both sides of the corridor are inlaid with exquisite carvings, and every detail reveals extraordinary taste.

As Urudia led Wes and Melty to the end of the corridor, a heavy door appeared before them.

Urudia knocked gently on the door, and with a dull thud, the door opened from the inside, revealing the conference room inside.

As soon as Wes stepped across the threshold, he immediately felt seven sharp gazes fall on him.

Those were the other five members of the "Seven Kin of Hell," who were both curious and scrutinizing, seemingly trying to find something unusual about this newcomer.

In addition, President and Vice President Hades and Bruno Stega were also seated at the head of the table.

Hades was dressed in black armor, the cold metal exuding a mysterious and majestic aura under the light.

Every movement he made while holding the scepter carried an inviolable solemnity. The black armor clung tightly to his body, outlining his tall and upright figure, inspiring awe in all who beheld him.

Bruno had long black braids that cascaded down his shoulders, and a slight stubble added to his weathered appearance. His nose was sharp and his sideburns reached his cheeks, giving him a cold and aloof air.

The gazes of Wes and Brunot clashed fiercely in the air, like two bolts of lightning intertwining.
