Chapter 586 Searching for a place to stay (2)

Even from a greater distance, the imposing building’s clean contours and cutting-edge design stood out as immediately noticeable features. The limousine came to a smooth stop in front of the building.

The edifice, a magnificent and massive structure, simultaneously exuded a sense of elegance and functionality. It was also conveniently located close to high-end facilities and high-class shops.

The man representing Lucas’s Trade went past Erik and opened the door for him, pointing toward the inside. The man’s eyes betrayed a hint of pride. “Here we are, Mister Kay,” the man said. “This particular building has been meticulously selected to fulfill all of the prerequisites that you have outlined. Please allow me to serve as your guide.”

Erik nodded, his eyes moving around the outside of the structure. They passed through an enormous parking lot large enough to accommodate many vehicles. The place was entirely made of reinforced concrete and then covered in asphalt.

Erik’s gaze swept over the imposing structure, a sense of cautious curiosity pervading his thoughts. He couldn’t help but think about the security measures here—surveillance cameras, alarms. He doubted a place this big didn’t have any.

“Can you give me information regarding the safety measures put in place here?” Erik asked vigilantly, his emotions oscillating between curiosity and a subtle hint of wariness.

The Lucas’s Trade man smiled reassuringly and replied assuredly. “That is an excellent question. The security system is highly advanced, featuring biometric access controls, surveillance cameras operating around the clock, and a security team solely responsible for protecting the premises. In addition, the structure has been equipped with fire prevention precautions and secure data protection protocols. You can rest easy knowing that everything has been designed with the protection of your guild in mind.”

Erik nodded; despite the place not having everything, most of what he wanted was there.

The man gestured for Erik to follow him, and they went toward the building’s entrance.

A grand foyer that exuded sophistication welcomed them inside as soon as they entered. There were many rooms there, mostly thought to be for administrative and social purposes.

However, the man told him that after a long corridor, there was a common storage area. According to him, the constructor had reinforced and outfitted the building with lockable storage spaces, making it ideal for meeting the storage requirements of a guild. The safety precautions were impressive, and Erik could see his team use the space well.

They then went further inside the building. They saw many rooms on the way, but Erik asked another question as they went in.

“Is there a place where we can fix our vehicles in case they get broken or damaged?”

“Indeed, we’ve thought of that too,” the man said with pride. “There is a big area thought for that sole purpose. It is outfitted with the equipment and amenities required to handle the routine maintenance and repairs of various vehicles. If required, we can also connect with specialists in the field of mechanics, so you won’t have to look for them alone.”

“I will think about it.”

After that, the man brought him to what he assumed was the building area dedicated to storing goods the guild would need during its activities. Erik saw several different compartments, ranging from cold storage to general warehousing.

“The key to our setup lies in a modular shelving system. Each shelf unit can be easily moved and adjusted to accommodate various item sizes. We’ve also integrated a sliding rail mechanism, allowing swift access to stored items,” the man said, his tone measured and informative.

Erik nodded, absorbing the details as he thoughtfully processed the information. “And what about security measures here?” he inquired. “How do you ensure the safety of the stored items?”

The man’s response was equally thorough. He described the state-of-the-art surveillance cameras, the robust alarm system, and the meticulous inventory tracking that left no room for ambiguity. Erik listened intently, his emotions now a blend of intrigue and satisfaction, reassured by the careful consideration of access and security in the facility’s design.

The office spaces were similarly well-planned and designed. The atmosphere was conducive to productive work, thanks to open areas, private cubicles, and elegant meeting rooms. From the ergonomically designed furniture to the strategically placed lighting, it appeared that every detail had been noticed.

They continued on their way until they reached the training areas. The indoor locations featured state-of-the-art fitness centers, combat training zones, and even virtual reality setups to simulate different quests. The outside area included challenging obstacle courses, practice shooting ranges, and wide open spaces for more extensive workouts. Erik could perceive these areas’ potential for strenuous training and personal development.

“Can we customize the rooms however we see fit, particularly the training areas?”

The man exclaimed, “Of course!” while his eyes lit up excitedly. The building was designed with flexibility in mind to accommodate a variety of uses. You can easily adjust the layout of the office spaces, training areas, and any other sections to meet your organization’s specific requirements. Should it be necessary, our architects are also available to assist with the redesign.” .

As Erik continued his investigation of the building, he maintained his thoughtful expression, asking questions about the building’s energy efficiency, the capacity of its storage rooms, and even the neighborhood. The man responded with knowledgeable and satisfying answers each time, mirroring Erik’s enthusiasm and taking the conversation very seriously.

When the tour ended, Erik found himself highly satisfied. The structure had been able to comprise all of the elements he had envisioned for the main building of his guild.

The man from Lucas’s Trade turned to Erik, his expression revealing his eagerness for Erik’s response. “Does this property align with your broader plan?” the man politely asked.

Erik paused, his thoughts reviewing everything he had just seen. “It’s impressive,” he said with a note of delight. “You understand our requirements well; however, I would like to look at a few other listings before making a purchase decision.”

“Of course, Mr. Kay, I understand. Would you like to see them today?” The man asked. “I can bring you to a restaurant if you don’t want to return home.”

“Yes, as long as it isn’t too much trouble,” Erik said.

“Of course, it won’t. Don’t worry, Mr. Kay. Let’s go back to the limousine then,” the man said with a smile.
