Zick followed the knight into the room. Entering it, the knight moved away, letting him look at the view within the room.

Unline Zick's room there was no bed here, making the room look spacious. Only two sofas were in the middle of the room, and both of them were already occupied by two men.

Uthyen wore formal clothes, he had deep green hair and blue eyes. He looked to be 19 years old and was a low-rank knight. Two knights stood behind him like guards.

Seeing the man sitting opposite Uthyen, Zick was surprised internally, he couldn't feel the presence of that person at all. This would only mean one thing.

'He has to be at least at the level of master...'

That wasn't all, the figure of a 12-year-old girl laying unconscious beside the master-level person entered Zick's sight.

'So she was in here.' He felt the situation to be very twisted.

"Hahaha! You say some interesting things, don't you? Sigh.....now people are even impersonating our organization. Still, this situation is interesting in itself." The master-level person spoke in a playful tone.

He had red hair and looked very young, in his early 20s. And he had red eyes, which looked at Zick with interest.

Hearing this, Zick changed his plan immediately. He was in a very dangerous situation. If he wasn't careful enough, he would die without a doubt.

"I want to join the Everlor organization. I had to lie about being in the organization as That was the only way I could think of meeting you." Zick spoke in a calm voice.

Hearing Zick, Uthyen looked at him with a little hostility. He was in the middle of completing a very important deal right now.

Only with the help of a group like Everlor could he safely run away without the Gerthel family finding out. They were a duke rank noble in the Gorthect empire after all.

Uthyen pitied Varine, the alchemy tower would have at least not performed any experiment on her. But the Everlor organization wouldn't care less about such a thing, they would do anything which could benefit them. But being the self-centered person he is, he chose to sell her without any hesitation.

"Ohh, well we can talk about that, but before that," The master-level person's eyes shone in suspicion, "How do you know that this deal was going to happen right now?" There was evident killing intent in his tone.

If Zick didn't give him a satisfactory answer, he would kill him instantly.

'I can only take a risk in this situation....' Zick took a parchment out of his space ring and tossed it to the man.

These were the papers that he got from the bandits that gave the order to ambush Uthyen after he got out of the city.

There was a chance this order was given by this man himself after all. So this was a kind of gamble too.

"This is the paper I got from my friend, he was a bandit. We worked together sometimes, and he contacted me recently requesting me to join a raid. He said the money we would get was high so I participated in it."

"But yesterday night, in his drunken state, he revealed that this ambush was ordered by someone from the Everlor organization. He said that sir Uthyen would make a deal with someone of their own side in the morning." Zick stopped for a second after saying this.

Breathing in, he continued with an evil smile.

"So I killed them! I wanted to join the Everlor organization for a long time. I didn't want to let such a chance just slip out of my hands."

'.',

This is how Zick used his 'bandit friend', whose even name was unknown to him.

Silence prevailed in the room.

"I am starting to like you now, more members like you are needed in the organization. Even your talent doesn't seem bad, a high-rank knight at the age of 17 it's an above-average talent." The master-level person nodded in satisfaction. He looked at Zick in a little more good light. As long as a person was a criminal, they could join the Everlor so he felt that Zick had what it took to become one of them.

"You can call me sir Ovelon from now on, so who was the person ordering this ambush?"

"Unfortunately, I don't know," Zick spoke with a disappointed expression. In this dangerous situation, he gave his all in acting.

"So can you show me the bodies of your bandit friends?"

"Of course, sir Ovelon," Zick spoke with an expressionless look.

"Alright stand behind me for now, I still have business left undone."

Without a word, Zick stood behind Ovelon.

'I made it somehow....' Feeling a little relieved, Zick continued staring forwards with an indifferent face. He still hadn't let down his guard, in case of emergency.

Ovelon didn't bother asking how Zick found out their location. It was easy to find out after asking things here and there in the city.

p "Here is the location of the teleportation circle that you could use to head towards the southern part of the continent. This magic circle belongs to the Everlor organization so you would have to pay through your merit points." Saying this, Ovelon passed on a piece of paper and continued speaking with Uthyen again.

After talking for a few minutes more and exchanging things through their space ring. They started getting up at last.

Through the conversation just now, Zick was able to tell that Uthyen was just a new member and was low-ranked in the organization.

Zick looked at Varine who seemed to be unconscious and couldn't help but feel helpless. He wanted to recruit her, but now it was almost impossible.

'I should still try, though they might misunderstand me, it doesn't matter.' Zick looked towards Ovelon who had just gotten up.

"Can I buy this slave?" Zick asked, pointing at Varine.

"That's not for sale, unfortunately. Haha, so you were into little girls." Ovelon laughed, he had met many kinds of people in the organization so he didn't feel that Zick was weird.

Anyone would misunderstand Zick in this situation. After all, what else might be the reason he wanted to buy a small girl?

"Is there no other way? liked this slave too...." Zick tried his best to not let his disgust show on his face and continued acting showing a disappointed face, along with a heated gaze.

He had made up his mind to do anything to pursue his goal. Just this much would never stop him.

"Hmm....well if you liked her so much, I can help you. Bring me around 1000 platinum coins after three days, I will give her to you if she is still alive of course. That much time should be enough to extract all information from this girl. I will try asking those guys to go easy on her." Picking up Varine from one hand, Ovelon held her like baggage.

Seeing Ovelon treating him already like a member, Zick felt a little less wary.

"Thank you for that, so where can I find you after three days?"

"You...I should be in the main headquarters of the Gorthect empire." Even Ovelon felt surprised at Zick"s persistence in buying Varine. He didn't have much expectation, to begin with.

'ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ N ovelBi(n)',

Could Zick who worked with bandits have 1000 platinum coins? Seems impossible to Ovelon.

Ovelon spoke without hiding a thing as he was confident in killing Zick if he was suspicious after all.

'1000 platinum coins.....' Zick thought, he didn't feel that it was impossible to make such an amount in three days. He knew the location of a mana crystal mine, using this, it was easy to collect that amount.

"Tell me where exactly you killed your bandit friends, my subordinate will check it out later." Ovelon said as he started walking out of the room, gesturing for Zick to follow along.

Uthyen didn't interfere in their conversasion and just looked at them walking out of his room.

"It is in the west of the city, near the foot of the mountain, there should be around 20 bandit's bodies," Zick said while following behind Ovelon.

"That's nearby, I will not have to waste time on that then."

While walking out of the inn, the receptionist stared at Zick with a frightened look, but he ignored her.

Reaching the entrance of the inn, a golden carriage with many ornaments entered Zick's sight. Five knights stood around the carriage, they wore mercenary-like armor. All of them were peak rank. One of the knights opened the gate for Ovelon and Zick.

"Go to the west of the city and see if there is any dead body near the foot of the mountain there, Be sure to search properly. Report me your finding through the Gelos book and go back to the base on your own."

Giving instruction, Ovelon entered the carriage with Zick following behind.

Sitting on the carriage, Zick looked at the red interior. It gave people an eerie feeling just by looking.

Slowly the carriage started moving.

"I like blood more than anything, just seeing it makes me excited. Oh don't worry, I have already gotten bored of human blood so I kill and torture demihumansthis this day In the first place," Ovelon spoke of his fetishes freely like it was the most normal thing in the world.

Before Zick could speak, Ovelon continued again. "You like young girls right? But they break very fast so it's no fun.....You should try playing with bigger things."

Placing his hand on the chin, Ovelon mused.

'This organization.....' Just by seeing how Ovelon acted, Zick could tell how the organization was. And that Ovelon was a chat box.

'The people of the Everlor organization have a very open relationship with each other. I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad though.'

There was another problem too, Ovelon would spread a weird rumour of Zick liking small girls which was a problem.....

'No, it shouldn't be much of a problem as long as it's within the organization. I can't clear this misunderstanding anyway.'

While thinking this, Zick suddenly heard Ovelon speak again.

"I have a nice idea, I will let you experience it yourselves. I am sure you will like it." Ovelon smiled brightly, fully showing his excitement.

"I will have to decline, I have no interest in that," Zick spoke firmer than ever. He didn't have any intention of getting close with Ovelon as he had nothing to gain from it. From the way Ovelon talked, Varine wasn't brought for him but someone else.

"Well if you don't want to, I won't force you. I was just giving a newbie a little advice anyway. We won't be meeting anytime soon once we part too." Ovelon seems disappointed not being able to make Zick like what he liked.

Hearing this, Zick started looking out of the window.

'I should keep my distance from the other members of this organization, unless necessary.'
