Chapter 521: Chapter 361: Hasn’t This Pavilion Master Only Been in Seclusion for Two Months?_2

With trepidation, the merchant Kakajie walked into the mission office he had previously reconnoitered.

The place was too quiet, whether it was people like him, ready to post missions, or assassins and mercenaries, there were hardly any figures in sight, not even the staff at the counter numbered more than three or four people.

"Is this really a major office?"

"I’ve heard that the mission guild’s business is dire, but I never expected it to be this bleak. Can killers still take orders in such a scenario?"

Kakajie hesitated.

But then he thought, since he had already come all this way, and it wasn’t easy for him to make a trip to Jialan City, he couldn’t just return without doing anything, right? Besides, it wasn’t certain whether the mission guild would accept his commission.

He then firmed his steps and approached a counter.

"I, I want to post an assassination bounty."

"Okay, Dear, please wait a moment~"

The receptionist’s amiability eased the nervousness in Kakajie’s heart, and in just a moment, he followed into a secluded cabin, arranged with secret rituals.

Posting an assassination bounty was naturally anonymous, as this would protect the client’s privacy.

These procedures were not much different from those of other assassin organizations.

But would the mission guild take this order?

"The target I want to put a bounty on is this person: Black Storm·Diges."

"Please describe the target information in detail, this will help us with the review and assassination."

"Oh, Diges’s rank is about Six Senses, his Awakened Ability is to summon a black storm, it’s said that he can even turn into a storm... 25 years ago, Diges attacked an oasis named ’Green Rock’ and slaughtered thousands of people there, men, women, the elderly, and children. By the time I got back, all I saw were mountains of corpses and seas of blood, with flies everywhere."

Kakajie clenched his fists, veins visibly standing out on his forehead.

Anger mingled with immense trepidation, as he had previously approached several assassin organizations, including the Hidden Assassination Pavilion, but all had turned him away.

It was not quite right to say he was rejected—more accurately, the chips he put forth weren’t enough.

He was a wealthy merchant who had scraped together several hundred thousand rich crystals through years of hard-earned money. Liquidating assets to gather one or two million wasn’t difficult, but those rich crystals were still not enough to buy the life of a Six Senses monarch.

He had made inquiries through his contacts and found that to assassinate a Six Senses monarch, rich crystals alone were often insufficient, a great power’s interest exchange was also necessary.

However, Kakajie was just a small-time wealthy merchant.

"Your bounty commission has been accepted by our guild; please proceed to the designated location to pay the commission fee."

What?

Kakajie was stunned, taking a while to regain his composure.

...

Grand Havoc City, first-class mission guild office.

Several days later, when the Red-haired Sword King arrived here again, he indeed found the place much quieter than before.

The former Hidden Assassination Pavilion hub was bustling, drawing all sorts of people, filled with the smell of blood and stench.

The current mission guild office was quiet and sparse, with not many visitors.

When the Red-haired Sword King walked into this quiet but neat and refreshing office, he unexpectedly found that he liked this kind of environment, it just didn’t quite seem like an underground base anymore.

Well, the mission guild calls it an office.

He familiarly sat down in the adjacent resting area and ordered a glass of chilled Sprite—indeed, since that day, it wasn’t his first time here, and with each visit he noticed significant changes, one of which was the increased quietness, but the quiet was only superficial, there was more difference inside.

This newly renovated resting area was one such change.

The drinks were another.

Drinking down a few glasses on a hot summer day made him feel delightfully refreshed, and this was also a reason why the Red-haired Sword King, having nothing else to do, liked to come here—in the past, aside from taking and returning missions, he would never set foot in such places.

He glanced around and noticed, like him, not many people had discovered the delightful beverages here, but there were still more than ten people who had.

There’s a kind of joy when something you like is also appreciated by others.

As this place was still an office of a bounty organization, the Red-haired Sword King casually browsed the available missions during his leisurely rest.

"The assassination missions have indeed declined quite a bit, which is not surprising."

"But there are quite a few escort missions, treasure hunting missions, errand missions, and so forth. These varied commissions actually add up to not much less than the previous assassination missions."

"The question is... can the mission guild complete all these commissions?"

The Red-haired Sword King was half right.

Certainly, the former Hidden Assassination Pavilion assassins couldn’t complete them all; while they could carry out assassinations, being escorts or security was a challenge for them.

But the Awakened could manage it!

Currently, Blue Star enjoyed a period of peace and tranquility, and many official Awakened were complaining about the scarcity of tasks and an abundance of colleagues. Diving into the Grey Mist Area was as common as going back to one’s own home, and there weren’t enough positions above on Blue Star.

He arranged for a batch to head to the Shattered Sea.

However, earning a bonus through missions was secondary. More importantly, during this process, lots of information could be collected to fill the poor archives of the Awakened, and expand the organization’s influence.

The Red-haired Sword King thought that given the current quietness of the mission guild, there probably weren’t many people taking orders.

Yet, upon closer look, he discovered,

"Not only is the commission reward 30% higher than what the Hidden Assassination Pavilion offered, but mission points can also be directly exchanged for some rare items within the guild."

The Hidden Assassination Pavilion didn’t have this; the reward was only rich crystals.

But here,

The Red-haired Sword King’s eyes widened as he carefully browsed through the treasures that could be exchanged, his breathing becoming increasingly rapid.
