Chapter 116: Agent Role
"If anyone needs some cookies, they are here." Kenneth softly pushed a jar closer to the middle of the table.
Finished with this important reminder, he cleared his throat and started speaking. "Jack told you we are a mercenary group, but that's not exactly the truth."
Cyril wasn't surprised in the slightest, only taking a sip of the tea.
"We are a group funded by a particular trading giant to do certain things that can't usually be done in the open," he calmly explained.
Some objection could be seen erupting from Katherine and Gethyn.
"Are you sure about sharing this?" One of them exclaimed.
Kenneth raised his hand, motioning that it was fine, so they only shrugged and went back to tea and cookies.
"Recently, our 'boss' was a victim of a horrible theft. Three important magic items went missing. All three of them being that black stone I mentioned yesterday."
Cyril kept his face blank, wary of letting any suspicious emotions show through.
However, Rhamn, standing nearby, had no such concerns. She pumped her fist with excitement at finding gold.
"Yes! We must get more Black Tulip!" She said with an obsessive glint shining in her vibrant red eyes.
