Chapter 119: Sponge
Vritra and the tall assassin walked into an exquisite office. It was clean and luxurious, unlike the large hall they had just been in. After entering, the tall man sat on a big, comfortable chair and gestured for Vritra to sit in front of him.
"Now, tell me, why do you want to hire the entire Dawn Minion?" the tall assassin asked.
"Before we go to that topic, I’m curious about a few things." Vritra raised two of his fingers and sat calmly.
"...Ask away." The tall man frowned slightly under his mask and nodded. Since Vritra was an important customer, he needed to pamper him a bit, and it was normal to have some doubts if the mission was this big.
"How many members do you have in your organization?" Vritra asked, putting down one finger.
"More than a thousand," the tall man replied vaguely.
"And in case of emergency, how do you gather every single member of the Dawn Minion? Like from the top leader to the very last member? Is there a way to call them in a short time?" Vritra asked, putting down the other finger.
"..." The tall man narrowed his eyes for a moment, but sensing Vritra’s weak aura, he didn’t think for a moment that he could be attacked. And since this information wasn’t a top secret, he nodded and replied, "Yes, there is a way. We have a signal that could only be used in case of maximum danger, which will summon every assassin of the Dawn Minion, even the leader."
"Whoa, can I see it? I mean, the object you use to send such a signal?" Vritra asked, slightly leaning forward and showing intrigue.
"..." The tall man was about to refuse, but Vritra instantly added:
"If you show it to me, I will add an extra thirty percent to whatever fee we agree on—and give you a big secret about the Nine Pacts and Golden Moon."
