53 Ironic Mission

Yellow's eyes went wide. He felt what Davis had said was incomprehensible to him. The surrounding crowd was startled as well, looking at him as if he was an idiot.

Seeing the looks of incomprehension on the people, Davis waved his hand.

A corpse flew out and crashed into Yellow.

"Warghh!" Yellow yelped and saw the corpse's face. His face was one of horror before gradually turning into outright elation.

"This… this is Harman!!" Yellow shouted out like an idiot. It was as if he had obtained some grand treasure, his eyes glowing fervently.

"Then?" A nonchalant voice startled Yellow out of his reverie.

It was from Davis.

"Yes, yes. You have completed the mission. I'll just formally inform the receptionist, that's all. I'll get your badge and the reward soon." 

Yellow excitedly expressed and ran off.

Davis waited there for a while, receiving looks of awe, astonishment, jealousy, and even other emotions, perhaps from beginner female assassins.

He then noticed that some people were approaching him.

The two people were the two black-robed people from before.

Davis entered a state of caution but didn't show it outside.

"Fellow assassin, are you the one who battled near the Southern Gate?" The black-robed person asked in a scratchy voice. However, that voice made it difficult to determine the gender.

Davis just stared at him before questioning them.

"Who are you two?"

"Oh, it was bad of us not to introduce ourselves. I am Left Sky, and he is Right Sky." The other black-robed person replied.

The gender of this voice was difficult to determine as well.

"Way to go, brother. You just revealed our gender!" Right Sky complained.

"And now he knows that we are siblings! How many times have I told you to call me by my nickname during work" Left Sky rebutted?

"But he could've just struck that us of as good friends! He would've never known that we were twins!" Right Sky shouted in anger.

"Hey! Hey! Hey!" Davis shouted in confusion to stop them.

'Didn't these two just act cool before? Now, why are they revealing their traits one by one, or is it just an act?'

His shouting attracted those two, and they turned immediately embarrassed but didn't show it outside.

"What business do you have with me?" Davis asked calmly.

"That is… seeing that you have completed a mission that is quite difficult to complete, we decided to invite you to this Sky Grade mission." Left Sky replied and took out a jade crystal.

It was the type to hold information.

Just before he gave out that jade crystal, a voice could be heard.

"Senior Dead End! Here is your Peak Earth Grade Dark Earth Organization's Badge!" Yellow came running like a four-year-old child. It could be seen that he was thrilled.

He arrived in front of Davis and handed over the badge as well as the reward.

Davis collected the badge and the reward as he stored them in his space ring.

"Senior! You are now officially a Peak Earth Grade Assassin!"

"Hmm," Davis nodded his head indifferently as he turned to face Left Sky.

Left Sky then gave out the scroll to Davis, causing him to open and look at it.

"..."

His expression turned into one of astonishment, then turned into an ironic smile.

'What the actual f**k? Did these two just invite me to abduct myself?' Davis almost rolled his eyes. He would have laughed out loud if it were not for the nonchalant attitude he adopted at these locations.

"So Dead End? Will you work with us or move alone?"

"So far, what kind of information have you gathered about this mission?"

"All normal ones. If you ask our informants, they will tell you."

Davis took a moment to decide before answering.

"I'm not doing this mission..."

"What? Why?" Left Sky and Right Sky were both dumbfounded.

Just when Davis tried to give some reason for his rejection, Yellow, who was on the side, hurriedly explained.

"Two seniors! It isn't that Senior Dead End rejected your request. It's just that Senior Dead End doesn't like this kind of job." Yellow sadly said.

'Nice one, Yellow!' Davis gave a thumbs up to Yellow mentally.

Davis chose safety and being incognito over having fun. He was sure if he had joined that mission, he would have to kill those two and possibly others, which would have made him suspicious if he had been the only one to remain alive.

So he decided to kill them without accepting the mission as he could remain free of any suspicion that might be possibly thrown at him after he had killed them.

At the most, he would've been able to have fun if he had joined that mission by seeing the incredulous looks of the dying assassins when they finally know that they had been killed by the target whom they were planning to abduct.

"Oh? Personal preference? Leave it then..." Saying that, the twin assassins left dejectedly.

"Right, leave that mission. We have other Sky Grade missions that might fit seniors' criteria. Let's go meet the receptionist for more information." Yellow said as he went off in a direction.

Davis followed him and arrived in front of the reception.

"Congratulations on becoming a Peak Level Earth grade Assassin, Dead End." The receptionist's tone became favorable.

"Let me take a look at all the Sky Grade missions that you have," Davis said rather indifferently.

"With your rank, you can only see up to Low-Level Sky Grade missions, Dead End."

"Fine..."

The receptionist then pulled out a few jade crystals, which obviously had information on Low-Level Sky Grade assassination missions.
