Field day

"Alright twats, listen up each and every one of you"

Jason said pacing in frount of a large group of ripper gang members they numbered in the hundreds all of them armed to the teeth. Jack, Heheegaboo, his friends and a few more stood at the frount of the group they lead. They stood in frount of a large warehouse, while Jason continued to pace in frount of them. They are all deathly silent as Jason started to talk. This was the legendary person who had killed the ripper executive. The one who had propelled Jack's group to the top in a matter of a few weeks.

Jason turned around and pointed at the warehouse.

"inside that warehouse is a lot of stuff that costs money!"

The gang members let out loud cheers.

"they are also deadly poisons."

The cheers quickly died away into awkward coughs.

"but they are worth more than 4 silver each!"

The loud cheers resurfaced even louder this time.

"but a single drop can kill one of you guys instantly"

Everyone collectively let out a loud gulp.

Jason paced around again eyeing everyone.

"basically" he reiterated

"you spill, you die"

Jason looked at them all one more time and turned away giving them a small wave

"alright go bring them outside"

Like organized ants, the gang members carefully in a single file line walked into the warehouse each emerging carefully holding a cart of vials filled with poison.

Usually, if you were to give gang members the job of collecting valuable things and transporting them. It would have been absolute chaos and more than likely most of it would have been nabbed to line their own pockets.

Only the mild threats Jason gave and the fact that they were holding deadly poisons in their hands kept them in line. Besides Jack paid his men well.

Jason turned to Jack who was helping by leading his men to carefully place the crates of poisons near him. There he could use his inventory to transport them somewhere safe or to sell.

Jason was extremely thankful to have bumped into Jack and all of his men. For some reason, they were all charging towards the last two territories in a frenzy. But they started to calm down after he explained that Skiske's house and remains were now rubble and dust. So now there they were making sure that they cleaned out every last bit of the warehouse before they moved on to the last and final territory.

Jason turned to Jack. Jack looked back at Jason as he held directed groups of gang members to pile up the crates of poisons onto near Jason. Jack felt Jason's gaze and turned around.

Jason walked over with a grin on his face.

"Thanks for helping me with transporting these things, it would have taken me a while to get them all."

Jack responded with a small bow and a smile

"no, it was our pleasure to help the person who had just taken out one of the most troublesome opponents we had"

Jason shook his head

"na, he was a bit annoying but he was pretty easy"

Jack shook his head

"no, he was one of the men who were closest to claiming the executive position beside me, as the right-hand man of the former one he was supposed to take over."

Jason finished with a small laugh

"but you got in the way eh?"

Jack smiled and lowered his head again.

"it all started with you sir"

Jason waved it off and turned around to look at the groups of gang members. They were all productive placing the crates near Jason. He walked over and placed a few vials into his inventory while he was picking and choosing which types to take he asked Jack

"do you think you can do anything with these?"

Jack quickly nodded

"yes, I'm sure I can find a use for them, they can be sold for quite a bit on the black market too"

Jason looked at the crates and then back at Jack thinking for a bit before nodding his head.

"alright" these are yours "do what you want with them, help the fund the guild with them, use them for your own machinations, or even take care of a few unwanted people, it's all up to you."

Jack looked at the crates of deadly poison with surprise.

"Are you sure? these are worth a lot and can be used in many situations"

Jason held a few crates in his hand.

"Yeah don't worry I'm taking a few with me, the rest is all yours though"

Jack let out a grin and immediately ordered for his men to begin transporting the poisons.

In reality, Jason didn't feel like having a warehouse full of poisons in his inventory and Boops definitely didn't feel like sorting through all of them either. Speaking of his inventory Jason still had a lot of things in his inventory that he could use. He still had the monster cores which could be turned into golems and other items that he currently didn't employ. Most of the spare weapons though he handed over to Perseus since he could distribute them to the guild members.

"man, I really need to learn an engineering skill or something, I really wanna make some golems"

Jason muttered to himself quietly as he looked around.

'you can think about that after you get Jack to become the newest ripper executive'

Boops replied.

Jason nodded his head and tugged his black cloak to make sure it was secure.

"Alright, give me information about this person," He said walking away from the warehouse slowly disappearing into the alleyways.

Boops quickly pulled up a profile in frount of Jason's view in the form of a system window.

It looked like a job application profile except that multiple parts of it were empty or just had question marks on it. There was one part that was filled with lots of useful tidbits of information.

It was the section labeled as actions.

Jason read through them as he ran through the alleyways leaping over the piles of trash and the occasional homeless person.

"took over the territories of 2 other leaders, both of which have been seen faithfully serving and accomplishing the mysterious woman's missions. Strong elite ripper enforcers have been seen loitering around her territory. Almost everyone in the mysterious woman's territory acts in a somewhat mindless manner with each and every single one refusing to respond to inquiries even under threat."

Boops continued allowing Jason to focus on sliding through a crowded alleyway full of trash.

"this person's lackeys have been spotted armed to the teeth with weapons from blacksmiths found in the slums. It would seem this woman is really rich."

Jason let out a small grunt as he walked out into one of the streets in the slums. People could be seen huddling on the sidewalks as people walked through the streets.

"any idea where this mysterious woman is?" He asked while dodging an obvious pickpocket who was eyeing him with narrowed eyes.

Boops said in a slightly dejected voice

"there was no information about that, heck we don't even know her name, all that we know is her appearance, you should be able to spot her since its pretty distinct."

Jason looked up at the face Boops was zooming up for him. The mysterious woman had purple hair and dark red eyes. She had a tattoo that covered the left side of her face, her lips were cherry red and she wore a black choker and dress.

She looked out of place from the large group of ripper enforcer guards that were surrounding her.

Jason burned the image of her face into his head.

"Alright, lets find this woman"

He said stepping into the red-marked territory on the map.

Back at the warehouse, Jack was happily smiling to himself as he looked at the crates of poisons. All of those could be used to help his faction and his master! Oh the many things that he could do with them, he could sell them for money to support his master and his attempts to become a successful merchant. He could even use the money to upgrade and get his territories into a better state or get better facilities for his makeshift HQ. Or could take out some unwanted enimies, speaking of which, he had one more territory to claim until he would gain the position of ripper executive. Perhaps...

Jack turned around to ask Jason for his opinion.

His eyes swept past the groups of gang members hurriedly placing the crates of poison onto the carts Heheegaboo had brought. His eyes passed the gang members who were taking a huge sigh of relief as the last final crates were taking out of the warehouse.

His eyes scanned everywhere but he could see a sign of his eternal benefactor.

"where could he have gone?"

Jack's eyes suddenly widened and his face gave off the look of "oh no"

Just then Heheegaboo walked over scratching his back with the end of his chained blades

"Hey boss, we are just about finished with transporting the poisons..."

Jack turned around in a flash and said quickly

"organize the men, get them ready to assault the last territory"

Saying that Jack rushed off while Heheegaboo stood back in absolute confusion.

"whaaa?"

He muttered to himself as Jack ran off.
