The City of Iron Post,
Burke Trade Centre,
Remington Talley is glad that the manager agreed to appoint them. And also, his condition was not so excessive. Even he does not want them back in Bandit Hunting Mission.
Shaking his head, Remington decided to leave. But suddenly, he thought of something. He had intended to contact the Black Fist Team.
But he decided not to talk about this. He is just another employee in this trade centre. He doesn't want to take too many liberties.
Even if he crossed their bottomline, it might cause some problems for his career. Then he talked about a few other things with Manager Peter before leaving the room.
Manager Peter, then continued to do his previous work.
Remington Talley arrived at the waiting area. Observing three of them nervously waiting He smiled and walked towards them.
"Mervin?" He called out his name.
Seeing that Remington had arrived, Mervin asked with hopeful eyes, "What happened inside?" Did that old thing agree? "
Remington smiled wryly. His tone is the same as always. "Manger Peter agreed to appoint all three of you back." But he doesn't want any of you to return to the bandit hunting mission. "
Mervin's eyes were pained." Actually, he is helpless right now. since he doesn't know how to get revenge. For the time being, he decided to get back to his old job.
But now that he has thought about the conditions, Mervin is silent.
At this time, Spencer and Gavin looked at each other. "Leader, we will support you on whatever choice you make," Spencer said, looking at his leader.
Hearing that, Reminginton's face condensed. "These guys, Last night I had a good talk with them. But still they are not able to overcome. "
Then he thought about the place. Walls have ears; it's a good place to comment on bandit hunting missions.
Remington said, "Alright, let's walk outside."
Then four of them walked out of the building after leaving their premise.
Remington impatiently asked, "Mervin, I can help you with this much." But if you still had plans for revenge, Then you should forget your old job.
Mervin glanced at his teammates. He seems to have made some decisions at this point. Then he looked at Remington and said, "Thank you for your help, Remmy." But I realised that I needed some alone time right now. I'll meet you a few days later. "
After saying that, he left with his two team members.
Remington sighs, looking at the disappearance of three of them.
"He still has two minds." Remington muttered.
He thought about others since the first thing was done. It's good that he didn't arrange the meeting.
Remington assumed that the young man (Zack) had transferred to another team. And he doesn't have much contact with other teams. He knows a few guys in other teams, but he doesn't trust them at all.
Shaking his head, he decided to call that young man
....
(From MC's POV)
My eyes opened suddenly after hearing the notification buzz. After looking at the time, it's been more than an hour since I shut my eyes off.
I looked at my communication watch and found that it was a call from Remington Talley.
"Looks like he didn't forget his words," I muttered.
Next, when the call is connected Remington told me about the meeting spot.
Then, after ending the call, I exited my room right away. I'm curious to see how these teams fared.
I know this bandit hunting team is different from the usual monster hunting teams. I believe some warriors had experience of killings.
After walking out of the hotel, I walked towards the location. It's a cafeteria, which is quite close to my location.
I appreciate his choice of spot. I thought he might choose some famous restaurant or landmark.
But this cafeteria is not that famous. Soon, I arrived at the cafeteria, where a huge billboard can be seen above the shop.
"Blue Leaf Cafeteria," I exclaimed. nice name. After stepping inside, I found Remington was waiting for me at the counter.
Seeing me coming, he led me towards the other area.
"I already booked a private room to talk," Remington said.
A slight glint flashes in my eyes. Why is he alone? What about others? I looked around and found that no one was following us.
I thought he came with the iron hammer team. That's why he is late.
Soon, two of them entered a room. There is a simple sofa chair to sit on and talk on. After taking their seats, Remington told the server that he would order later.
Remington sighs, seeing Zack's surprised face. He helplessly commented, "I know you must be surprised right now." But it's impossible for you to join the iron hammer team. "
Hearing that, my expression bit condensed and I asked, "What happened?"
Hearing that Remington told everything that happened yesterday and the current state of Mervin's mind.
After explaining everything, he further added, "So without knowing what is happening right now, It's not safe for you to join any teams. The Black Fist team must be planning something. If they find an iron hammer team, they will surely target their team members."
This?
I'm quite dumbfounded. I thought things were alright. As long as I don't offend top teams, I can spend time here training.
But the muddy water here is truly very deep. Every day has some changes to look after. After hearing his explanation, I completely gave up the idea of joining the iron hammer team.
I sighed inside and also, I'm getting nervous. The environment here is quite scarier than at Crimson Hall. This is just a Tier-8 city, but Crimson Hall is a Tier-7 city.
Looking at the silent expression of Zack, Reminginton said, "I knew you must be disappointed." But things are not easy here. If you really want to take such a risk, it's up to you. "
Hearing that, I fell into contemplation. This guy has great convincing skills. Even now, I'm hesitating to accept the mission.
But the hesitation was for a moment, then it completely disappeared. Looking at the upcoming Crimson Hall event, I have no choice but to accept the bandit hunting mission.
Then, looking at his face, I asked, "Is there any team that I can join apart from the Iron Hammer Team?"
Remington is deeply surprised. This young man is quite unexpected. He took some time to advise him, but still, this young man is hell bent on accepting the bandit hunting mission.
He really doesn't want to guide him wrong. His relationships with other weak teams were not close. If it were a normal time, he would have advised.
But things were changing constantly, and he even himself wasn't able to find any trustworthy team to recommend.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Zack. I don't know about the other teams. Remington said with a sigh.
Hearing his clear-cut answer, I don't want to force him. I nodded and said, "Well, I know your difficulties." So, I don't mind it. Thank you for your help. "
After saying that, I stood up from the seat since he had no other way to join the team. So I feel it's time to leave.
Remington Talley really wanted to help. But he strongly thinks that instead of giving bad advice, It's better not to help.
Seeing that he was ready to leave, he suddenly thought about something. "EastWood Company," he said in his heart.
Then, looking at Zack, he said, "Young man, hold on a second."
Hearing that, I turned towards him.
Remington commented, "The reason I'm helpless about your request is because I don't know about the other teams. But I know someone who does."
A quick glint flashes in my eyes.
I'm ready to listen. "You can tell me," I said.
Then I sat back in the seat.
Remington nodded and said, "There is a famous artefact company in our city." The company is called "EastWood Company."
Then he added further, "From outside, it may look like they are selling all kinds of artefacts in a day. But in the dark they do other business. It's about selling and collecting intelligence reports.
I'm not surprised about this. I've heard of such an organisation. To do business like this, the person behind the EastWood Company must be very powerful.
Remington said, "Don't worry, their information is quite true." since the iron hammer team is reduced to such a state. I wanted to know what happened, so I decided to collect intel from them.
Hearing that, I nodded. So he really didn't know anything. Maybe this company can help me find a reliable team to join.
But all of a sudden, images of Star Tower flash before my eyes. Actually, I want to stay low-key. If this company knew my real identity, then it would be troublesome.
I still have fresh memories of an assassination attempt on me.
Who knows? If this East Wood Company reveals my identity behind my back, Then there is a possibility of another assassination attempt on me.
I twitched. Going to EastWood Company is really a bad idea. Fortunately, I recalled it before it's too late.
Looking at Remington, I asked, "It would be great. If you share your intel with me, because I'm not coming with you to that place. "
