Orson remained alert throughout the whole process.
When he was on the first floor, Orson didn't feel anything. But when he got to the second floor, he saw that the bartenders and waiters working here were mostly at the fourth level. When Orson came to the third floor and saw the half-orc girl, he hesitated for half a second at the stairs.
In his perception, the aura of the half-orc girl was no weaker than his own.
The opponent is at least at the seventh level.
It seems that this time, I really met a tough guy.
Thinking of this, Orson walked into the box.
In the box, the same cloaked man who had just appeared at the entrance of the alley was sitting on a chair.
Because of the table blocking my view, I couldn't see the other person's lower body.
But this time, Orson could clearly feel that the other person was a real person, not a piece of clothes driven by magic.
Thinking of this, Orson sat on the sofa.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Orson." The cloaked man said. "I am the 'Angel of Death' you are looking for."
Of course, the other party's voice had been processed by magic, making it impossible for him to distinguish it.
"Although I really want to show my true face, as I just said, it is a pity that we cannot do so in our line of work."
"Okay." Orson nodded. "I understand you. Then, please answer one of my questions."
"You want to know who entrusted me to arrange for someone to kidnap Mr. Li Te's adoptive parents, right?"
"Since you know, I don't want to ask anymore. Just tell me." Orson said this. There was a seventh-level person standing outside the door, and the cloaked man in front of him couldn't tell his strength. He didn't want to stay here any longer.
"Don't be anxious, Master Orson." said the Angel of Death.
"Compared to these questions, do you know why I asked you to come here?"
"I don't know and I don't want to know." Orson shook his head.
"We, the agents, are also known as the black gloves of the nobles."
"They are different from the nobles' subordinates who are called white gloves. They also do the dirty work for the nobles, but
It’s because their men do the work that’s visible, while we mainly do the work that’s hidden in the dark.”
"We are very good at assassinations and kidnappings."
“That’s why we call ourselves the Black Gloves of the Nobility.”
"Why are you telling me this?" Orson frowned when he heard this.
"I want to say, Mr. Orson, if you need anything, you can come to me directly. There is no need to cultivate a similar organization yourself."
The other party said this, and Orson couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"I don't remember telling anyone about this." Orson said this, his tone becoming serious.
Even his father Lucius didn't know that he was running such an organization.
"I am here to cooperate with you, Mr. Orson." The other party said this, and there was actually a hint of sincerity in his tone.
"You know, although we do things for money, sometimes we also want to find a reliable master for ourselves."
"After all, only in this way can we stabilize."
"So, you mean to let me be your master?"
"No, no, no, you are far from qualified as Mr. Orson now." said the other party.
Although the other party was telling the truth, Orson still felt uncomfortable when he heard it.
"What we value is your potential and ambition, Master Orson." The Angel of Death said this, turning his cloak around and looking at Orson.
"Do you know why, even though assassins are so useful, few nobles choose to train them?"
"Because once you are discovered, you will be seen as having evil intentions and will be attacked by nobles across the empire."
"It's interesting, isn't it? There are so many nobles who use such dark methods, but when they bring them to the table, they pretend to be righteous and refute such behavior."
"So, we admire you, Master Orson. You have such ambition and courage."
"Now, we are going to see if you have the ability, Master Orson."
"What do you mean?" Orson looked at the other person with a frown.
"You want to know who the client is. Due to professional ethics, I will not tell you the client's name directly. However, in three days, there will be an assassination attempt on someone close to you."
Upon hearing this, Orson's eyes turned completely cold.
"What did you say?"
"Ah, I think you may have misunderstood something, Mr. Orson." The Angel of Killing said this, looked at Orson and let out a hoarse laugh.
"The person who assassinated you was not arranged by us. There are hundreds of agents like me in the empire, and there are many who are better than me."
"Maybe they saw that I didn't have good business skills. Even though they changed the client this time, unfortunately, they didn't expect that I was in that client's team."
"I think if it was you, Master Orson, I would have told you this news in advance so you would have been prepared, right?"
"Wouldn't it be better to settle all the new and old grudges together at that time?" the other party said.
Orson sat on the sofa, stroking his chin, thinking about something.
After a long while, he said, "Since you said you look forward to our cooperation, I will give you a commission now."
"Of course." The other party nodded after hearing this.
"I'll offer three hundred thousand gold coins for the mastermind's head."
"..." Hearing this, the other party thought for a long time, and then shook his head. "Sorry, after our evaluation, the other party's head is far more valuable than 300,000 gold coins, and the risk is extremely high, so we will not accept it."
"Okay, I understand." Orson said, stood up and smiled at the other party. "Thank you very much, I think we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future."
"I hope so." The other party said politely, but did not stand up to see him off. Instead, he just watched Orson walk out of the room.
After Orson walked out of the room, the orange-haired female orc warrior was guarding the door. When she saw Orson, she bowed respectfully.
"How old are you this year?" Orson said this and looked at the other person.
The orc girl did not reply.
"It's okay. I just wanted to see when you reached the seventh level and compare it with myself."
Hearing this, the half-orc girl looked at Orson in surprise, her lips moved, and then she said, "Twenty-two."
"Your figure is still the same as when you were fifteen or sixteen. You must have suffered a lot when you were young." Orson showed
With a sympathetic look, "But now that you are under the control of the Angel of Death, you should be doing pretty well?"
Having said that, he shook his head and walked downstairs.
"Really? Why should I care about other people's business?" he muttered to himself.
……
On the other side, walking out of the Orchid Tavern, Orson saw the doctor standing against the wall.
The doctor also noticed Orson coming out, so he turned around and walked over to Orson.
"How was the conversation in there?"
"Not bad." Orson said, looking into the distance. "I got some general information and made some guesses."
"That's fine." The doctor felt relieved after hearing that.
As long as there is progress, there is hope of finding the other party.
"Doctor, I would like to ask you to do me one more favor."
"Go ahead."
"I'm busy with other things recently, so I want to ask you to help Leeteuk."
"May I?"
"Leet? Your brother?"
"Yeah." Orson nodded.
The doctor looked troubled when he heard this.
"Of course you can, but, Orson, are you sure your brother will agree with my way of doing things?"
"I'll convince him," Orson said.
"That's fine," the doctor said, nodding reluctantly. "But if he drives me away halfway because of a disagreement, I won't stay there."
"It's okay, she won't." Orson smiled.
Although he hoped that Lit would be independent and Lit also kept saying that he would solve the problem himself, the complexity of the matter was beyond Orson's imagination.
If you leave it to Litt alone, he may not be able to do it well. On the contrary, he may get himself into big trouble.
Even if Virgil became Litt's deputy, Orson was still not at ease.
The words of the Angel of Death just now have clearly warned him that the task he had assigned to Virgil has been discovered.
I will have to let Virgil keep the secret organization dormant for a while.
"Okay, I'll go back first. I'll arrange for Li Te to meet you later. Just wait for the notification."
"Okay." The doctor said this and waved to Orson, and then the two of them dispersed on the spot at the door of the Youlan Tavern.
When Orson returned to school again, it was almost evening. Orson first informed Virgil and asked Virgil to connect with Leet and the doctor. Then he wrote a letter to his family, reminding Lucius to pay attention to safety recently.
After all, the Angel of Death said that in three days, people around him would be assassinated.
I am not worried in the academy. After all, the security force of the academy is very strong, and non-teachers above the seventh level must register to enter the academy.
In addition, the academy has not seen a serious injury incident for a long time, so Orson believed that the other party would not choose to take action in the academy.
As for the people around him, after much thought, the only one was Lucius who was far away in the Duchy of Antica.
Now that the war has begun, as the commander-in-chief of the front-line troops, if Lucius is assassinated, even if he is just injured, it will cause a great blow to the morale of the front-line soldiers.
The more Orson thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Therefore, he didn't even go to the student union the whole day.
Until the evening, there was a knock on the door of his dormitory. Orson opened the door and thought it was Litt who came back, but he saw Olivia and Lianka standing at the door.
"Um...Olivia, Lianca, why are you in my dormitory?"
"Isn't it because someone hasn't appeared in front of me since noon, which made me worried?" Olivia said this and rolled her eyes at Orson.
Then she pointed to the lunch box in her hand.
"I heard that Li Te was off campus today. I was afraid that you had no food, so I prepared it in the dormitory and brought it to you. Li Anka hadn't eaten yet, so she came here too."
"Yeah." Lianka beside her also nodded at this moment.
"Ah, thank you for your hard work." Orson said this and quickly made way for him. "Please come in."
The three of them sat at the dining table, and Olivia took out the dishes from the lunch box and placed them on the table.
Looking at the sumptuous food on the table, and then looking at Olivia who was sitting opposite him and looking at him with a smile on her face, Orson felt a warm feeling in his heart.
Is this married life?
It’s such a blessing to have dinner with my wife at home.
although
There was a sister-in-law next to him who seemed a bit of a nuisance, but now Orson had subconsciously ignored her.
"I'm sorry. I had to deal with some things today and came back to school quite late. I'm sorry to bother you to prepare the meal at home and send it to me." Orson said apologetically.
"It's okay." Olivia put a piece of beef stew into Orson's bowl.
"I came here because I was worried that you would be too busy to have dinner. If you weren't busy, my kindness would have been wasted."
"Although I wish you weren't busy..." Olivia suddenly whispered.
"Ah? What did you say?" Orson asked again without hearing the second half of Olivia's words.
"Nothing to say! Just eat your meal!" Olivia said, and picked up another piece of meat for Orson. "Finish your work soon and spend more time with me."
