New job

Leo obeyed Iris and took a seat at the other side of the table.

"I am Iris dark, you don't need to introduce yourself since I've already read your file, Percival gave me permission to view it. This meeting will be about your next job."

Iris snapped her fingers and a guard turned on a projector before returning to his position.

"MC&D sells most of their items via the auction house, however, we also offer services.

Services are usually not able to be sold via the auction house and therefore usually remain private, only the richest of the richest are usually able to get access to them.

Those who qualify are given a private key to access a secured and private website hosted by MC&D, there they can buy services from us."

The projector shifted to a new image displaying a photo of Leo along with some text next to it and a bid button.

The text read as follows: "Is someone bugging you? Do you want to get rid of that person? Then this service is for you! MC&D has employed an anomalous agent that is capable of shapeshifting to conduct assassinations, you may ask yourself why not hire a normal assassin? If a regular one gets caught there is a chance he will spill the beans or has a clue that could lead to you, there is also a major chance that they are simply not able to execute the plan due to security being too tight or they can outright scam you! Meet agent Nightmare, a one of a kind agent capable of shapeshifting to any human form of targets they kill, this ability allows for easy infiltration and assassination of said target. If agent Nightmare is incapable of completing your request, MC&D will pay you back to full amount. Nightmare will only take one request per month and once your request is accepted you will be contacted to supply further details"

Current bid: 1.3 million

Bidder: Due to the nature of this service the bidder's name is [CLASSIFIED].

Iris continued.

"As you can see, you have been assigned your own service. the bids are arguably high since the missions will be extremely hard. Assume that normal hitmen would not be capable of completing this job due to security. Your first mission will start in three days and biddings are closing in two hours. The bids will be higher once you complete the mission. I can not disclose a lot of information about the person who currently holds the highest bid due to bids not being closed yet, but he is well trusted and has ordered from us multiple times. If he leaves a positive review you can expect the bids to quadruple and you will be given a very small share of the earnings."

Leo was still processing everything, he was just hit with an information bomb.

Iris spoke once again.

"That was pretty much everything for now, if you have any questions feel free to ask me. Keep them mission-related though."

After thinking for a while and processing all the information he received he opened his mouth.

"So, why are you now managing me personally?" asked Leo.

Iris let out a sigh before responding.

"Are you fucking stupid? I asked you to keep your questions mission-related. There is no need for you to know this."

Leo responded quickly with a sly smile on his face.

"I need this information in order to go on this mission, I want to know who manages me and why to better understand their nature and the missions they give me. If you do not comply I will refuse this mission and personally go to Percival."

Iris clicked her tongue before responding.

"You know, I really fucking hate people like you. You are way too clever for your own good. But alright, Percival is a busy man and I am his rightful heir. Right now I am more or less in training even though i don't need it."

Leo wanted to ask another question but Iris interrupted him.

"If you ask one more fucking question I will kill you."

Leo knew that this threat wasn't real since Percival would be upset at Iris if she killed him, but he wanted their relationship to be salvageable so he did not question her further.

"Looks like you atleast have some bloody value in your life, now leave this room. I will call you if I need you."

Leo obeyed Iris and quickly left the meeting room.

"Let's go see what the others are up to"
