Swallowing Yourself

The next day, at the office where Ark was.

Tyler sat on the chair with a nervous expression on his face. Not far in front of him, just across the table, appeared the figure of Ark sitting quietly. In this room, there were only the two of them. Two soldiers were guarding outside the door, so the secrecy was still very well preserved.

“Have you thought about it carefully, Tyler? You should know, although there are advantages, but there are also some disadvantages when you join the Sword of Sufferings.”

“I understand, Mr. Hades.”

Seeing the nervous and excited expression on Tyler's face, Ark shook his head lightly. He knew that the young man was intending to join the Sword of Sufferings. However, Ark itself still needs to assert some important rules, advantages and disadvantages.

“Do not rush. Let me explain the advantages and disadvantages with certainty.

First, the excess part. As a member of the Sword of Sufferings, of course you will gain a lot of advantages. At its most basic, eat once every two days. Some other advantages I explained yesterday. But this one is most important. If you join, it means that you have a chance to obtain a supply of special potions.

As you know, special herbs have a strengthening effect on the body. Because the effect is so strong, I limit the exchange to a maximum of 5 bottles per person. If you join, you will get it without any restrictions. During the completion of the mission, you will get your share.

In addition, you also have the opportunity to experience evolution. Like being a super soldier in hero movies, you can become stronger. Just like the soldiers from the Sword of Sufferings.

Even so, there are also shortcomings. First, after you join the Sword of Sufferings, it is impossible to get out unless it dies. Moreover, if you divulge even the simplest secrets, you will be punished. Punishment may include cutting off a hand, a foot, to death. Compliance is also a key requirement. If you do not obey and mess up in the task, you are also punished.

In essence, despite presenting many benefits, as long as you join the Sword of Sufferings.

So, do you still want to join the Sword of Sufferings?”

Hearing Ark's words, Tyler felt that if he nodded, the chain would wrap around his neck. This made him doubtful. However, back then he recalled the bad life he had endured for over a year and a half. The young man immediately gritted his teeth. Rather than living like that, he would rather sell his own life.

“I agree, Mr Hades! I still want to join Sword of Sufferings!”

Hearing that, Ark nodded lightly. Raising the corner of his lips and revealing a faint smile, he said.

“Then I congratulate you. From now on, you are a member of the Sword of Sufferings.” branch

“Ya, Chairman!”

Tyler replied with a respectful and passionate expression. Feeling that his life will really change for the better and better from now on.

After getting Ark's approval, Tyler goes to meet the soldier assigned to guard the goods warehouse. After obtaining a basic sword, a basic dagger, and a small bag to store items made from the material of a level 1 mutated beast, he returned to where his family lived.

Once there, Tyler is greeted by his father, sister, and girlfriend with a smile on their faces. Back then, he really felt how when it came to success.

“Have you decided to join, Son?” ask Russell.

“Although tight, I still choose to join. This is the turning point of my life.”

Tyler was proud. He then glanced towards the three people with a concealed look of disdain. Although the three of them were his family and girlfriend, the young man felt that the three of them were usually hard on him. That made him hate them a little.

‘Look at it. From now on you will depend on me for a comfortable life. What is living safely? Cowards like you will never rise to higher ground.’

Thinking that, Tyler shook his head. After calming down, he said.

“I'll go break.”

“I think Tyler has changed a little,” Russell said worriedly.

Despite often scolding Tyler and Hannah, the middle-aged man just wants to keep them safe. Moreover, he did not mind living rather badly as long as they were all safe and sound. It was the mind of a father that worried about his family.

“I don't think anything has changed, Dad. Maybe Tyler is just too happy so excited.” Hannah said with a smile on her face.

“I hope so too.” Russell took a long breath.

Meanwhile, Lexie who was not a member of the family just kept quiet. He clearly saw a look of disdain in Tyler's eyes. The young woman thought Tyler was starting to change. He also felt, it seemed that the person was dissatisfied with him for some reason.

In the Ark room was sorting out some preserved materials, Lisa's figure appeared.

“Is that okay, Brother?”

While sorting the customized dry materials based on their quality, Ark countered.

“What?”

“Tyler. That person seemed to have a somewhat twisted thought. If left to become a member of the Sword of Sufferings, wouldn't he just defame and ruin our image?”

Seeing Ark still focusing on the various materials and ignoring them, Lisa stomped her feet with an annoyed expression. He felt a bit irritated, but did not dare to make trouble since the materials in this room had been processed and packed. It was definitely the materials they would bring back to the main headquarters.

“You don't have to worry, Lisa. People like Tyler have uses, too. That guy won't cause much trouble. You can relax.”

“Not much trouble? That means he's still gonna make some trouble, right? Why should you accept such a troubled person?”

“Didn't Draco and Leon like that? They used to be troubled, but were now one part of the backbone of the Sword of Sufferings.

Just like cobra venom. It can be used to kill. However, as long as that person had knowledge, it could also be used as medicine. Don't look down on someone just because of what they're doing now, Lisa.”

Ark still chose to deal with the various materials with a serious expression on his face. Answering questions without looking at Lisa.

“Then, what if that person doesn't want to change? What if he ends up really making trouble?” asked Lisa with a serious expression on her face.

“That means Tyler can't help himself. That guy couldn't hold back his own greed, and it was even more so.”

“You'll just let it go?” ask Lisa.

Hearing that, Ark's movements paused for a moment. He then replied.

“The person who cannot resist his greed sooner or later will swallow himself. If it comes to making a mess, we just need to handle it according to the rules. If the person cannot control himself and does not want to change ..”

Ark turned his head towards Lisa and looked at the girl with his red eyes.

“That means that person does not deserve to be in the Sword of Sufferings.”
