Cheater: Second Sky Adventure
20. Negotiating
"what if we move somewhere else. It's not comfortable if we talk here." Leo invites to move so that the conversation is not interrupted.
Anthony agreed with Leo's suggestion. He then ordered the remaining five members to clear the bodies of those who had been killed by Leo.
Then Anthony invites Leo and Jack to follow him into a room. "follow me!"
Jack pulled out his sword and re-stored it into his spatial ring. They followed Anthony towards a room that looked like a living room with a long sofa and a table.
"please sit!" Anthony sat down and invited Jack and Leo to sit down.
Leo and Jack sat down with Anthony.
From the gaze of Anthony it appears if he is curious about the face of an assassin who is able to defeat his members easily.
From the size of the body seen if Leo looks like a 10-year-old child. Of course the suspicions Anthony has are very baseless.
In terms of posture, Leo who has been investigated by its members exactly the same as the assassin in front of him. But in the report it is not clear if Leo is also an assassin and only a high-level mage.
But there was no report of the assassin in front of him that made him become even more curious.
"i know! you suspect that I am Mr. Leonardo Donovan. But I reiterate again! I'm not Leonardo Donovan. I'm just one of his right hands. My job is to solve problems related to the underworld." Leo's undercover remark made Anthony accept reality. Even the person sitting next to Jack was able to figure out Anthony's thoughts.
" well, I believe you! But why would Jack who was an S rank adventurer come here as well? " antony's gaze turned to Jack who was mostly silent not often said like his usual self.
"didn't I say it? I'm here to accompany my partner for a walk!" Jack changed his expression. A smile on Jack's face.
'who would believe a fool!' Anthony would not believe Jack's reasoning.
"as Jack said! Mr. Leo told her to accompany me. Even Jack doesn't know if I brought him to this place. Because this task is secret." Leo confirmed Jack's words. Because that's what happened.
Anthony breathed a "huft.. So, what does your master want to do to order a strong assassin like you. Even allowing an S rank adventurer to come along."
Back to the topic where Anthony was curious about the intentions of the arrival of the person whom Anthony considered to be Leo's messenger.
" My master wants to cooperate with your group! But not as a customer. Except as a leader in this group." Leo explains his true purpose to the point of making Jack and Anthony surprised instead of playing.
"what?" Jack and Anthony shouted in surprise. They did not expect that his goal would be so unreasonable.
"is your master crazy? There's no way I'd do what he asked. Especially if he wanted to be the leader in this group. That would be impossible." Anthony would have rejected that. Given that the person who wanted the position was the most talked about person in the entire kingdom.
" what is impossible? Although this group of yours has a top 3 rank, but with the ability of your members like that, of course in a few years you will also be devoured by a larger group.
What else if Master Leo wants to destroy this group of yours, he will not exert his full strength! And this group of yours will be easily destroyed. "
It is true what Leo said. Although this group had a top 3 rank, it was not in terms of strength. Except in terms of strategy. Because the deadliest weapon in the whole world is information. Either in the first sky or in the second sky.
Anthony himself began to worry about his decision. It is unexpected that what Leo said was so true.
With Twin Tea Party members who are A rank parties, but there is also one assassin who is very talented. But do not forget someone who is not present.
As the best group of information gatherers, of course Anthony knows that their master named Leonardo Donovan is a high-level magician. That even his strength was able to create an uproar throughout the city.
Added to the fact that he is still 10 years old. Which means, there is a possibility in the future Leonardo Donovan managed to become a legendary or even world-level wizard. Although it is clear if it is very impossible to remember if there has never been a world-level witch.
But because of that thought, Anthony did not directly approve of Leo's decision.
"what are the benefits of this group? How do you divide leadership? It's impossible if Mr. Leo wants all the leadership." Anthony had given up on resisting the wishes of Mr. Leo. So he certainly wants to hear all the agreements first before assuring.
Hearing this certainly makes Leo smile thinly behind his mask. "of course not! The leadership of this group will remain yours. But this group will be more pro to Mr. Leo. No one can pass on Mr. Leo's information to anyone. I don't know anyone who wants that information.
And of course this group will also benefit from it. Either that's the training I'm going to do, and some techniques for the members to use. "
Anthony was surprised. If its members got training from an assassin in front of him, the strength of the Notes Armor group would also increase drastically.
However, if it has to be pro to Leo, it indicates if this group will directly not accept any kind of mission with Leo as its target.
"then, what about our protection? Of course if we had to go pro to Mr. Leo, and we didn't accept any kind of mission targeting him, some groups would of course be suspicious. And that would make us look not a neutral group anymore. " Anton was worried about this fact.
" just calm down! You can still accept any kind of mission whether it's for information about Mr. Leo. But you have to tell Mr. Leo if there is such a request. He'll tell you what to do." Leo also did not want to make the other nobles aware of this fact. Leo will still be able to know the movements of the nobles.
Anthony thought about it carefully. He didn't want to take the wrong path. But given that Leonardo Donovan has tremendous power and the benefits his group will receive, Anthony can be confident that his choice will be correct "alright! I agree!"
