?


    The Masked man''s offer was met with a long period of silence, as ke was thinking in the deeper parts of his mind.


    After staying so long with the system ke learnt how to hide his thoughts from the system even though it was in its head.


    Surely, this didn''t go unnoticed by the Masked man. The prolonged silence and ke''s pondering posture made him realize what was going on. He was intrigued by how ke could do this and would love to know how he learnt it, but that wasn''t important for now.


    ''I can give you till your next meal to think about it.'' The Masked man said not wanting to rush him.


    ''What are the perks of joining the league, and what is the catch, because it is hard to believe all this is for free?'' ke asked with a suspicious look on his face.


    ''Just like every member of the league, you will be trained in the way of the Assassin and you will have ess to extremely rare resources and items which will be exchangeable for gold coins.''


    ''As for the so-called "catch", the league will collect a 30%mission on all of the missions assigned to you, and you also answer to me.'' The Masked Man exined.


    ''Isn''t that the same if I stay with the Ash Corps?'' ke wasn''t too impressed by the offer.


    ''No, it isn''t. In the League, there is no form of discrimination and I am the best person you could possibly be under. Besides you can get your hands on all types of information that exists without care for your rank, as long as you can pay for it.'' The Masked Man went on to give ke all the info he needed to know to make a decision.


    In the League of Assassins, there were only 2 ranks; that of the Masked man, and members. It didn''t matter how long one had been part of the League, all that mattered was their strength.


    ''So, from what you are saying I won''t be forced to ept missions from clients, but when it is something that has to do with the League itself, it ispulsory for me to take part?'' ke asked to confirm.


    ''Exactly.'' The Masked man confirmed.


    ''Onest question, before I make a decision.''


    ''Carry on.'' The Masked Man said without any signs of hurry in his tone.


    ''What if I say no?'' ke couldn''t help but ask because although the Masked Man sounded meek, he was still the mysterious leader of one of the most dangerous organizations in Infinite realm.


    ''Nothing will happen because I haven''t told you any secret information about the League. Besides I am very confident you will join.'' The Masked man said with a smirk.


    ke would have loved to keep asking questions but the longer the conversation took, the more things would look out of ce.


    ''All right, I agree to join the League. So how do you n on getting me out of here?'' ke asked as he resumed eating his food to look normal.


    ''Wee to the League of Assassins, Zero.'' The Masked Man smiled before continuing. ''When the timees, you will get the map of the prison as well as the information and shifts of every person in the pocket dimension and Square.''


    ''As for the locks of your cell, and other doors in the prison, they will automatically open when you arrive at the checkpoints.''


    ke had always expected the League of Assassins to have inside men within the Ash Corps, but he never expected it to be up to this level. This basically meant that he could break out any prisoner he wanted.


    ''Your only problem will be how to deal with the officials and Ancestral descendants.'' The Masked man said.


    ''I heard that the Ancestral descendants sent to Calton are close to a hundred. The best I can do is 50 at most, but anything above that is beyond me.'' ke replied.


    ''That is already more than impressive, but most of them will not even be in Calton by then. So you don''t have to worry.'' The Masked man said.


    ''I shall await your signal.'' Once that was done, ke felt something leave his mind space.


    Due to the high risk involved, ke would have loved to ask more questions about the smallest of details but since this was the Leader of the League of Assassins, ke was confident that he had everything covered.


    [He is finally gone.] The system said as it revealed its presence.


    [Why did you make such a deal with someone like him?] The system couldn''t help but ask.


    ''Why shouldn''t I?'' ke said without taking his eyes away from his food.


    [Don''t you think you should have consulted me?] The system said.


    ''Consulting someone is when I am confused about what to do, but I know what I want. If I join the League of Assassins, not only would I be able to get to put a lot of nobles in their ce, but I will be able to get my hands on more information quicker than if I remain in the Ash Corps.''


    ''So instead of waiting for months or years before I get another promotion while constantly being hindered and framed by nobles. It is best I join the league and find my purpose in Infinite realm quickly.'' ke exined the reasons for his decision and sure enough, the system didn''t see anything wrong with it.


    The system would have argued that the League were the bad guys, but they were both aware that most of their actions were against the nobles because they always targeted themselves and no one would pay suchrge amounts just to killmoners.


    As for the problem of having a bounty on him, that was nothing new to ke. The only difference now was that no one would stop him from eliminating anyone that made his life difficult or stood in his way.


    [Their days are numbered.] The system felt helpless as it felt the rage in ke''s heart.
