Miya and Jade was staring at everyone in fear. Well who wont? After reading everything on the paper they discovered that this people are like high class criminals! Except for Red.
A Manipulator who has manipulate thousands of people already!
A Playboy who seduced people to get what he want!
A Assassin who already killed a lot of people!
A Hacker who hacked 30 company and sell those information she got back to the 30 company, and made them fight against each other and eventually ending up all of them being bankrupt!
A Drama Queen who has been stealing money and treated City P as his personal wallet!
They're crimes are already miles away from them. It was like comparing a baby to an adult! A dog to a bloodthirsty wolf! A cat to a Lion!
They can't believe what they've just read but they also can't deny it due to the fact that they're members of MS Headquarters.
Everyone living in this country knew about MS Headquarters and there detectives. If your a detective who graduated from their academy, your ability in solving cases will no longer be a question.
Even the person ranked last in the ranking of that academy is comparable to a detective who's been working for 5 years as a detective.
Although Miya and Jade has slowly accepted the fact that everyone except for Red are high class criminals, but there is still something there really curious about. Why did a bunch of high class criminals changed their occupation and became a part of a detective club?
But they didn't have time to ask for that question when Red suddenly interrupted their thoughts.
"Even though were detectives that graduated from MS Academy for Detectives, we are still not proud of ourselves even facing someone inferior to us! " Red sat back to his chair.
"Arrogance is not something a detective should have. After all, even if how good we are in solving cases a bullet can still kill us!"
Everyone in Red's detective squad nodded, they all agreed with what Red said. A bullet can still kill them, no matter if they're good at manipulating, seducing, making people believe their acts, hacking and even killing, just a bullet through their head is enough to kill them.
They're all aware of that fact, that once you touch the dark side of mankind it's impossible for anymore to get out from it! Red and his whole members of ROT-K Detective squad has already touch the darkness of mankind, they've not just touched it but they also went in it! So being in any form of associating with them is already extremely dangerous.
Letting Miya and Jade join them was something they should all be thinking seriously, just a small mistake can possibly kill this two.
"So, Do you two still want to join our Detective Club?" Vladimir said. He spread his arms and show Miya and Jade a smile.
Miya and Jade lowered their heads. They regret the way they acted arrogant in front of everyone, even the top 1 detective in MS Academy wasn't acting arrogant despite being top 1, how much more them who only solve a few pitiful minor cases and caused some minor problems.
Jade looked at Leo before she rushed and hug him. She finally realized that Leo denied her request of joining because he cares for her safety.
"That's enough Vladimir, don't scare this two like that. But, do you guys still want to join ROT-K Detective club? " Red patted Vladimir's shoulder.
Miya and Jade looked at each other for moment. Afterwards, they looked at Red and nodded at the same time.
"Okay! Even though Leo, James and Marvin denied your request to join. Me, Vanessa and Vladimir agreed to let you join, which means the voting ends now and congratulations your now a member of ROT-K Detective squad! " Red said with a smile.
Right now, he can conclude that his plan is 101% successful.
Now, he doesn't need to worry so much that this two will cause a big problem in their squad. Although, he still needed to fix a few problems of them such us Miya's way of handling cases and Jade's bad girl side. Those are just a little problems, sooner or latter it will be fix.
Suddenly...
*knock *knock
"Come in" Red said.
Everyone immediately looked at the door. The door was then opened and a familiar person walked in. It was Adrian, Miya's classmate.
"What do you need?" Red asked. He was curious why Adrian is showing a complicated expression.
"Umm.. I'm tasked again to tell you guys that you need to solve another case." Adrian said while scratching his head.
Hearing that, Red and his squad eyes immediately lit up. Finally, another case to solve!
"What type of case?"
"I..." Adrian hesitated for a bit before he braced himself and continued "It's another stealing case"
Hearing that, everyone's excitement died down. A Stealing case, again? What do you think our club is? A lost and found club?
"Wait, let's hear him out first. Maybe this time, it's something different" Red said trying to cheer up everyone. Even though his trying to cheer up everyone, he himself was also feeling the same as them.
"Yes! It's actually a... What was that called again?" Adrian paused for a bit to remember what Principal Diana told him.
After 3 seconds of thinking, Adrian continued " ohhh, I remember, it's called a major case. Principal Diana described the case as a major case " Adrian said.
Hearing that, except for Red, everyone was feeling excited. A major case! It's actually a major case!
"Show us the information!" Red said in a serious tone. It was only him who didn't became excited on hearing the word major case.
For a beginner detective solving a major case for the first time is exciting, but after you finished solving the major case, you will realized that it was not that exciting after all.
In a major case, it's possible for one of your members to die. Even a simple black mailing major case, it's still possible for one of your members to die if they treated the case as a joke. The person behind any major cases is extremely dangerous because it's possible that this person will do anything to achieve his goal.
Red has already solved few major cases before, so his aware of how dangerous it is. Maybe the MS Headquarters definition of major case is different with how Principal Diana define it, but no matter what explanation it is, a case won't be called a major case if it's not dangerous.
Adrian gaved Red a piece of envelope. Red opened the envelope and read it seriously. After reading, Red closed his eyes for 30 seconds before opening it again.
"Red? Do we accept the case or not?" Vladimir said. He had already noticed that Red was not excited after hearing the word major case. It was like this thing is dangerous and they should not treat it as something worth celebrating.
"Let's accept the case." Red said before he stood up.
"Everyone will come with me and investigate this case. All of you should take this case seriously, don't treat it as a joke."
