Wings in Chains (Part 6)

"What...? The Twelve Branches already tried to recruit me? How come I don't know anything about this?" Adam was puzzled. It seemed to him that Osana was wrong.

However, the sly smile on her face showed that she was not.

"Adam, think about it this way. You weren't on very many missions compared to the usual K0 or K1-Phantoms, but the quality and danger of your missions are impressive. The fact that you defeated the Essence Thunder Demon is enough to get every one of the Twelve Branches to want to recruit you, or at least establish a relationship with you."

Adam tilted his head before nodding slowly. He realized that this was an unachievable outcome for most Phantoms.

"So... Are you saying Silvana refused them or just didn't inform me of it?"

Osana nodded.

"Adam, this is not just my assumption or guess, it is a fact, as the Rouzet Family sent a message to your Operator as well. I think you understand how I know this."

Adam gulped.
