The shrouded

So, obviously, I asked Laili what the real benefits are. Because, what's even great about having unique weapons and being free to explore? I mean, I'd have to hide those weapons, and actually buy or find some, wouldn't I? What a waste of money and time! But that's not that important though. What's important is the fact that Laili said that the members of the syndicate don't really stay in one place! Like, how the f*ck am I supposed to get some pussey then?!

Wait…

I think I got an enlightenment…

That's right!

If the syndicate has the ability to infiltrate any sect, doesn't that mean that I can enter any sect and explore this world of undiscovered pussey?!

OMG I'm a genius!!

Like, what if I disguised myself as a female and enter an all female sect… Hahaha! The possibilities!

"Stop right there Laili. You don't have to tell me about the benefits yet, because there is something very important that I want to ask you first." I was quick enough to cover Laili's mouth with my hand.

"Does the syndicate have the ability to enter any other sect? Like, can you remove an oath mark or something? You know, those mark that you get which denies you from joining any other sects." I proceeded with my flurry of questions, and when I was finally satisfied with the amount of questions that I had asked Laili, I removed my hand in order for Laili to be able to reply to me.

"That's classi-"

"I'll join your syndicate if it's possible." I told her the moment she was about to say that that information is classified. Heck, there is no way that I would miss the chance to sneak my way into every sect and explore various pusseys! Muahahaha! Gotta catch em all!

*Sigh* "Yes, indeed we do have such a method." Laili gave me her honesty.

"Then… What about the phoenix mark? Can I get rid of that?" I had another question that needed answered. Obviously, I did not forget about that awful mark that I got, hence, since we were already talking about the subject of magical marks, I thought perhaps the syndicate could get rid of that as well.

"No." Unfortunately, I was left disappointed by Laili's answer.

"Huh? What do you mean no? Isn't it the same?"

"No." Laili was quick to give a short reply again.

"Explainnnn, please? You're not making any sense. You do know that the Phoenix blood might find me here right?"

"It won't. I told you already. Also, that mark isn't a traceable mark, but a grudge mark, and one from a strong force as well. We can only do oath marks and traceable marks, and a few other simple ones. Nothing more, nothing less. So, are you joining us or not?" Laili had a tough face on her face, but me being some sort of empath, I could tell that she was a bit saddened about my misfortune. Oh, how sad… People really can't stop caring about me whenever they see this handsome face of mine, huh…

"Uhm… What about payments?" Since I didn't want to get scammed, and certainly didn't want to look cheap, I decided to ask Laili more about the benefits.

"We're like mercenaries. We explore, get recruited by a few squads on our way, and possibly, get a high paying bounty mission to kill someone. Wealth isn't difficult for us assassins to achieve, however, we do have to work in order to achieve it." Laili explained.

"Alright, alright… I see, I see… The offer isn't bad, I guess. Then, last question. Why did you recruit me? You said something about being chosen by fate, right?"

"Indeed. You have a bit of demonic force within you, and you're still perfectly fine. This means that you can easily coexist between the Demonic nature and the Primordial nature, just like all of us assassins. Such a suspicion became even more clear to me after you had made direct and physical contact by consuming the saliva of this guy Leslie over here."

*Cough* *Cough*

I accidentally choked on my own breath after hearing Laili's last words. She didn't just say that, right? No… Leslie is definitely not that. Laili is just a little confused because of the sheer similarity between the sex organs of this world. Hehehe…

Second stage of the sugma disease, denial…

Shut up! I'm not denying anything! It's all facts!

Wait, I think that was just me saying something to myself… Hehehe… Sorry to whoever is listening to my weird ramblings…

"Hey, are you okay?" Laili asked, a bit concerned about my state. The reason why she was obviously concerned, was because I was coughing, and probably because I stayed within my thoughts for a minute long after I had let out my coughs.

"Yep. I'm okay. Just having some weird thoughts at the moment." I assured Laili. Honestly, I don't think that me telling her that I had some weird thoughts was something assuring… Well, whatever…

"Good. Then, are you joining, or not?" Laili asked the same question that she had been waiting an answer for since the beginning of our acquaintance. Her scouting me, her giving me insider information, her saving me from my sacrificial death, and lastly, her saving me from a near death situation… She really put quite the effort to recruit me, didn't she? Well, the last part was kind of her fault. She still saved me from my sacrificial death though... She did that by providing me an emergency teleporting talisman by the way. Her purpose of that talisman might have been a bit different to mine, but still, she saved me. Hehehe…

How sweet…

I should definitely show her the pleasure of my wiener in the future…

A tutorial, I guess…

And if she wants to, we can also continue the game…

"Yes. I did tell you that I would join your syndicate if you answered my most important question, didn't I? So, I repeat again. Yes, I will join your sweet party of hide and seek." I finally gave Laili the answer that she had been waiting for.

"Very well. From today on, you are one of the shrouded…" Laili said to me with a bright smile on her face.
