Chapter 91: The mission (2)



Even Matt frowned when he heard this.

'That's pretty dangerous. The assassins might be more capable than we thought.' He thought, and the guild master, seeing that none of them were retreating, started talking about the mission.

"The mission was originally employed by some nobles who lived on the outskirts of the city, in the mansion that is now the target. They requested C and B Rank hunters for protection because they sensed that some assassins were out looking for them, but in the end, that same night, the hunters and all the members of the mansion were killed. This was the first group." Said the guild master.

"Due to the death of the employers, the guild set the mission with the same reward they had set before, but this time for research. Just at those times we got a message from the Kingdom, asking to increase the bounty drastically, in order to get a good group of hunters, but that also increased the alertness of the hunters, because they realized that the Kingdom was seeing this as dangerous.

Still, a second group took a chance." He said and showed the mission failure paper while shaking his head.

"They were all killed the night of the mission." He spoke.

Matt nodded.

He had a question, though.

"Why do they keep insisting that they be B-Rank hunters? Wouldn't that be suicide?" he asked, and the guild master smiled sheepishly.

"Normally, research missions are carried out by C-Rank people unless they are very high-level missions. But this is the first time a B-Rank mission about research has been issued in the guild's entire history. Besides, it's a mission near a city as big as this and within the Academy's territories. How could it be dangerous?" he said and then took out another piece of paper.

"Actually, those are not the only two groups that went. There is a third group that went, an exalted A-Rank group, they are powerful and have their own pride, but when they went they did not meet anyone. That mansion is lonely, and there is no danger there, so we couldn't evaluate it of higher rank. But...

They did not complete the mission because the truth is, they lacked people capable of investigating. They only served to reconnoiter the terrain so that we could give it an appropriate rank, and that's how it's now at Rank B." The sheepish grin on his face revealed that their hands were a little tied right now.

"We don't have enough assassin hunters or investigative hunters, and we must investigate several places. Our best investigation team is tasked with investigating some murders that happened in the Commercial City, which the Kingdom gave more importance to than the one in our city. There are still murders in hotels and all over the city.

I honestly don't know what is going on, but I suspect that an organization is behind this." He said and finally stopped talking.

He looked at Matt, Alice, Isla, and the lady beside him.

"The prize is great, but the risk seems to be great as well. I won't say more because my idea is not to put fear into you, but if you decline, then we will refer the mission to HQ for something different to be evaluated."

'Apparently, they are on their last legs about a mission that seems simple. The guild has great power in their hand, but they still can't use it the way they want to. After all, each hunter is independent, and even if they can use it, they can't force them.' Matt thought and smiled.

'This is a good chance to increase my status; everything is aligning.' He thought.

He wouldn't hesitate to accept this time. Anyway, they came here to investigate this situation.

Therefore, he smiled and spoke.

"I am in agree..."

"I am in agreement with the mission; I can start when the time is right."

Before he could finish speaking, the woman who sat quietly listening to everything spoke. Her soft voice surprised them, but the master was happy about this.

"Good." He said, smiling and looked at Matt.

"How about you guys? Since you're a group of three, why don't you two go to the Miss together? She's a skilled hunter of the assassin type." He suggested they go together.

Matt looked at her doubtfully. This woman was strong and had an almost nonexistent presence, so the fact that she was an assassin was normal.

Still, he didn't feel she was an ordinary person.

'The way she sits and stands carries a lot of meticulous movements that give her an elegant style. It's likely she's a Noble... And this has something to do with the murder of nobles... Is it nobles murdering nobles, or is she one of the victims?' Matt thought and looked at Alice.

She agreed. She didn't seem suspicious, or perhaps she trusted Matt's judgment. However, she was still observing this woman carefully.

Matt smiled and looked at her again. "If you want to join us on this mission, then we can do it together and split the reward. If there is one more assassin, it will help us get things done faster." He replied, and she stared at him.

Her face was entirely covered by a black cloth that clung to her face, so only her red eyes were visible.

She nodded softly at him, "If so, then we can meet in that room in this hotel tonight to plan when we will go out." She replied, and after seeing Matt and the girls behind him nod, she turned and left.
