Chapter 45: The invitation from Celestia.

"Let's cut to the chase ----- What is it that you want from me?" I asked.

I waited till she finished her piece of fried chicken and then decided to ask this question.

She wiped her hands off using tissue before answering my question.

"I want to recruit you."

"Recruit me? For what?" I questioned.

"To join our organization." She answered, "We are forming an organization to take over the underworld of Amay Kingdom."

To take over the underworld?

If I remember correctly, the current ruler of the Amay's nation underworld is the organization that goes by the name of infernal.

Big dreams, it's a big dream to take over the underworld organization of the Amay nation.

"Thanks for the offer, but I am not planning to join any group." I denied her offer.

I have different plans. I'll leave this place as soon as Annie is cured.

Of course, I am planning to let everyone know that I am alive. I have no reason to hide it anymore once Annie is cured.

"You are free to deny my offer, but I will make it public that Grey Hoffmann is alive." She said shooting a cheeky smile towards me.

I let out a sigh.

I was right, she is trying to blackmail me. I need to tackle this situation somehow and for that, I need more information.

"Why do you want to even recruit me? There is nothing special I could offer.".

If I need more information that's where I should begin my questions from.

"Nothing special in you?" She chuckled, she continued "It's not me who wants you to join, It's my boss. She ordered me to recruit you and she has good eyes for people, so I am sure there is a good reason to recruit you."

So she is following someone else order. Well, I think it was kind of obvious, like what kind of boss will go around recruiting people herself.

"Do you think you can overthrow Inferno?" I asked.

But before she could answer my question, she was interrupted by Annie who had a question of her own.

"Inferno?" asked Annie.

To answer her question I opened my mouth saying "Inferno is the name of the organization that is currently ruling the underworld of the Amay nation. actually, they have been the ruling organization for quite a while now."

"Are they strong?" asked Annie.

"They are pretty strong that's why I was wondering how the organization created by you guys will be able to beat inferno," I said as I shifted my attention from Annie to Rin.

"Yes we can." answered Rin, "Our boss is a capable woman. she has the intelligence to outwit anyone on her path and she is pretty strong when it comes to physical strength. With her lead, we will eventually be the ruling underworld body of the Amay nation."

Sounds interesting.... really interesting...

I would like to meet her if I ever have the chance to do so.

But joining their organization is a different case, I have no plan to do so.

"I will still have to decline your offer." I declined her offer since I have got all the information I needed for now.

This time she didn't answer with anything. She went quiet and her facial expression looked like she was pondering over something.

After a brief moment of silence, she finally opened her mouth saying:

"Then how about a bet?"

"A bet," I asked.

"Yes, A bet where if you win then you won't have to join our organization and if I win you will join the organization." She said proposing a bet.

The bet she proposed is something I will have to accept even if I don't want to.

The reason being: "Let me guess, if I don't accept your bet then you will leak the information about me everywhere." I said out loud.

"Precisely. if you don't accept my bet then I will have to tell the world that you are alive."

I let out a deep sigh before answering "Then I have no choice but to accept the bet."

With a little pause, I looked at her with a sharp gaze and asked "Do you think you can win?"

"I will." She replied with a calm voice that had nothing but confidence in it.

After saying that she stood up from her seat "Then the game is on." she said as she walked away towards the door.

Right before exiting the restaurant she paused and turned around before saying "Oh right, Celestia----Celestia will be the name of our organization."

Celestia, huh?

A nice choice of name. Celestia means from heaven and it's a perfect name for the organization that is made to overthrow Inferno, which means from hell.

She turned once more as if she remembered one more thing "And yeah one more thing. She---- my boss said that even if I fail to recruit you now, you will eventually join us by your own free will one day." she said as he finally walked out of the door.

By my own free will....

How is she so sure?

{Author note: Celestia is an organization that is yet to be formed. The leader is still recruiting capable members to join her rank.

The Celesta will make its move, two years in the future when the final core member will join their ranks.

Can you guess that member???}
