Secret group (2)

The noble didn't mind this once again as he continued, "You can say that I'm interested in the things that you are planning on doing and I'm someone that likes to make investments. So I'll give you the men that you want."

This time, I couldn't help being surprised when I heard this.

After narrowing my eyes to look at this man in front of me for a bit, I asked, "What do you have to gain from this?"

The noble revealed a smile when he finally heard me speak. He wasn't offended at all that I questioned him like this and instead, he said with the same smile, "I have my own matters and you can be sure that I will profit from this. So what do you say? Will you accept my offer?"

I didn't say a thing as I kept looking at this man with narrowed eyes.

I looked him up and down, as if I was trying to figure out exactly what he was playing at.

But no matter how I looked at him, I couldn't see through him.
