(6K, mega chapter, seeking monthly tickets!)_3 Colin’s expression and gaze turned towards the first line; he was unfamiliar with the other organizations, but these “Red Moon” followers…

If they could summon some of the “Red Moon’s” power, they might be able to stand against “Hunger.”

Plus a whole bunch of other messy stuff…

It was simply impossible to fight!!!

However, at this time, Colin noticed, after the mention of “Additionally 6,” that their reasons for coming were not uniform: some were there to prevent the company from retrieving items, while others were interested in something else, such as the source of this “Ghost Train” disaster…

There might even be enemies of enemies amongst them, yet not actually allies.

Finally, some might just be there to watch the drama unfold but wouldn’t mind taking advantage if the opportunity arose.

“Why does this feel like a grand free-for-all with piled up chaos and people seeking fun?”

Looking at these notes, Colin only felt a headache coming on.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that when those few train carriages were attacked initially, it probably wasn’t just bad luck—it was highly likely related to the items they were now tasked to retrieve.

Taking a deep breath, Colin glanced at the time and then quickly returned to where the Bonfire was located.

Upon arrival, he saw “Son of Sadomasochism” and others with extremely grim expressions.

Even without speaking, Colin felt he could read from their faces, “We’re just E level, for God’s sake, how did we end up with such a task?”

“Brother Shunzi, is there any assurance with this task?” “Son of Sadomasochism” quickly asked.

The task’s “Additionally 7” mentioned that assistance would be provided if possible, but it did not specify the kind of help.

The only thing they could rely on now was Brother Shunzi.

“We’ll do our best.”

Colin shook his head, indicating he also wasn’t sure, which made everyone’s faces turn even grimmer.

The task clearly stated they wouldn’t die, but it didn’t say whether they would be left to live as though they wished they were dead.

“Let’s not get bogged down in this. Since the task was issued, there must be a chance to complete it, it’s just slightly more difficult than usual.”

Having done plenty of thankless tasks in the past, Colin was quite unperturbed; he knew that Lady Bunny wouldn’t issue an impossible mission.

Then, Colin asked, “Do you have any knowledge about the organizations mentioned in the task?”

Among these, he seemed to have had direct encounters only with the “Red Moon” followers and demons…

Others, he had heard of, like the “Destined Ones,” which apparently were one of the official nemesis of the company, always coveting the Book of Fate. As for the rest, some he hadn’t even heard of.

Upon hearing Colin’s query, the group took another careful look at the “Additionals.”

“I’ve encountered the followers of the ‘Child of Voice’; they seem to be able to manipulate sound waves and control vibration attacks, so when these people show up, be careful of the sounds around you, because the words you speak might be altered. Once, following mission orders, we kicked over their ‘Holy Grail’ or whatever it was, disrupting their ritual…”

“I’ve come across a ‘demon’ on a mission abroad before; it seemed deranged but physically very strong. However, later on, as per company orders, we burnt it to a crisp and handed it over…”

“As for the ‘Apocalyptic Reveler’, I’ve heard that other employees burnt down their lair…”

“…”

Gathered around the bonfire, they discussed the intelligence each of them knew, and while they were doing that, they all started to feel something was off—

How come it seemed like each one had been persecuted or indirectly affected by the Bonfire Company?

“Are there any that might be allies in all this?”

Colin rubbed his chin, suddenly posing the question.

“There could be possibly…” “Emperor Sun” said:

“The people from ‘Kunshan Sanctuary’ seem to be able to manipulate exotic beasts. Our last encounter with them seemed friendly; could they be allies this time too?”

“Ah? They’re allies? Then why did we have a mission at F level to blow up all their eggs underneath some factory…” Emperor Sun was quite surprised.

Upon his remarks, everyone fell silent for a moment.

“Sigh, forget it, we’re not sure; we’ll see when the time comes…”

Colin massaged his forehead; after some more talking, they decided not to dwell on the topic.

After sharing all their intelligence, they still recognized fewer than half of the names in the task, and a considerable portion remained unknown to them…

There were simply too many entities that the company had antagonized.

Colin suspected that there was a good chance that individuals not on the list might appear.

The company might not even know how many entities they had actually offended.

“What exactly is this Level C Employee carrying that just the retrieval attracts so many people? Brother Shunzi, what exactly happened on that solo mission you recently undertook?” the “Fool’s Mushroom” in the squad asked, puzzled.

As soon as this was mentioned, everyone turned to look at Colin, hoping to obtain some information from him.

Unfortunately…

“I don’t know either; that mission was not particularly unusual…”

Colin didn’t conceal the truth, recounting his recent experience with the “Spectral Witch” and her former owner, evoking envy and astonishment from the others that such a thing could still involve true love…

After finishing that story, he circled back to the topic:

“However, I suspect that even the retrieval of a lost Golden Artifact wouldn’t cause such a huge fuss, so the value of the item that person is holding might be even higher than a Golden Artifact…”

As he spoke, Colin grew more puzzled; if the value was that high, why hadn’t the company recovered it during their heyday?
