Monarch of Gluttony: System of Sin-Chapter 226: 226: Raphael

Yulia didn't want to talk about the past at this time. She had been trying to keep the past buried in the back of her head and focus on the present.

She went up the stairs, followed by Azekiel. He didn't need to know the answers about this girl's past as that was of no concern to him, but it was just his curiosity that made him ask.

On the first floor was where Yulia actually stayed. Her bedroom was on the first floor, and so were the main kitchen and the dining room.

"You feeling hungry?" She asked Azekiel, stopping before her bedroom.

Azekiel nodded. He certainly felt hungry, and it wasn't a new phenomenon to him. If Yulia was going to cook something, it was great as he could ask her many things when she was distracted with cooking. He could get information, and he could get to eat. It was like hitting two birds with one stone.

"Alright. This is my bedroom," she opened the door of her bedroom. "You can rest here for a little bit. I'll prepare something real quick."

Yulia went to the kitchen that wasn't too far from her. However, Azekiel didn't just enter the bedroom to wait for her there. He calmly followed behind Yulia, keeping his hands in his pocket.

"Are you not going to rest?" As Yulia reached the kitchen, she noticed Azekiel not too far from her.

"It is fine. I'm not tired. I can just accompany you here, so you aren't bored while cooking." Azekiel stood with his back against the wall as if he was going to wait right there for her.

"If that's what you want." Yulia didn't mind him waiting here. In fact, she was quite pleased. Previously she only thought that Azekiel liked her when he allowed her to drink from the same glass. However, he asked her to come with him not long after, which made her suspicions even stronger.

And now this? He wanted to accompany her even here? Had he really fallen for her charm? She didn't mind it either, as Azekiel was also very handsome for her. Not only was the man handsome and her type, but he was also strong and wealthy. What could be better for her if she wanted a guy?

Azekiel was like a perfect man for her.

After her initial glee, she got back to cooking after asking what Azekiel preferred.

"Yulia, have you lived in this city all your life?" Azekiel asked the young lady as she immersed herself in cooking.

"You can say that. I've been here since I was born. And I've been working in that bar for the last three years," Yulia answered. "What about you? Where are you from?"

"I'm from somewhere far away. I don't think you'll know that place even if I told you. However, it's my first time in this city or even on this floor," Azekiel answered. "That's why I barely know anything about this place."

"I guessed as much. If you weren't a new face here, it wouldn't be my first time seeing you here."

"In your job... You must get to hear a lot of secrets too, right? You just know so much about this world. On the other hand, I know nothing. Maybe I should start working as a waiter too."

"Hahaha, nonsense. You are so wealthy; do you even need to work? As for the information about those worlds, do you even need to worry about that? I can tell you everything I know. You don't have to worry about anything."

Just as Azekiel had expected, Yulia herself offered to help him. A smirk spread across Azekiel's lips. He had someone who was going to tell him everything without him having to force them. This was the best option for now.

Since Yulia had already offered him this much, he didn't hesitate in taking her up on her offer.

"There should be a tower here, I heard. It's a tower that ranks all the Kings? Is there something like that?"

"You mean the Tower of Judgement? Yeah, there is a thing like that. Only the strongest of the strongest can get their names on the top of the ranking. That tower is insignificant for people like us though. Who cares who ranks where? Even the weakest of those rankers can kill us with a single finger."

"What is the ranking on the tower? Do you have any idea?"

Generally, everyone could see the Tower Ranking, but only after they had been in the middle realms for over a week. Since it was Azekiel's first day in this place, he couldn't see the tower or ranking at all.

Even if his name got on the rankings, he couldn't see the tower unless his one week was over, which was the most problematic part.

"I didn't pay much attention to it, but I think I do know the top name. It's some guy named Raphael who has a score of Three Million something."

"Raphael?" Azekiel exclaimed, taken aback.

How was that possible? Raphael should've been dead in the middle realms since this place was akin to the real world of the tower. If Raphael wasn't dead, there was no way his Spirit could be summoned by him.

Moreover, Raphael was certainly killed by a person from his own world. So how could his name be there? Once a King was dead, their names also disappeared from the ranking since the ranking only showed the score of the people who were alive.

Even if Raphael had come back to life, thanks to the old man, there was still no way for him to get a score of three million in such a short time. His scoring would've started from scratch if he came back to life after dying once!

"Are you sure you read the name right? It was Raphael?" he repeated the question, still finding it hard. Since he knew how the tower worked, he was having a really hard time believing it.
