Found yourself in a pickle, Tantan?

"I… would be a great asset to this group, sir, boss, or master! Please let me in. If I fail, I accept death as a consequence."

It would be a lie to say Zoren wasn't impressed. Until now, no one had ever figured out who was behind the Phantom Circle. No one had even come close.

From another person's perspective, Zoren had it all. Wealth, power, influence. Why else would a man like him dare step foot in such a complex world when he already — almost — had everything one would want and need?

But Nathaniel had managed to follow his men's trails and had sharp judgment. His determination to uncover the identity of the big boss was admirable. Most impressive, though, was how he turned this night into a job interview, showcasing his skills in a way that earned Zoren's attention.

However, Zoren wasn't one to trust so easily, even if his instincts told him Nathaniel was serious and dedicated.
