Location- Sky Blossom City, Outskirts, Underground Base

Hey, guys. While we are here, is it just me or any of you guys secretly planning how to get out of this mess. I do not know about you but I am sick of doing Sansas dirty work for free. Norman voiced out his thoughts about wanting to rebel against Sansa to Grey Fur and Sniper.

Not the smartest way to test the waters but the quickest way for sure. Norman was so brazen with this approach because he knew all his memories would be read by Sansa anyway so why try to be sneaky when you know you are going to be caught anyway.

Haha, here we go again, another one of the newbies who thinks he is smart. Sniper laughed Normans words off. This was not the first time he has encountered such a brazen situation.

I remember Snipers first time he was all bark, I will kill that b.i.t.c.h, that, this, blah blah and now look at him he is the most docile dog under madam. Newbie who said we are doing this for free? Grey furs words made it clear that he was on Sansas web for a long time.

What do you mean by we are not doing this for free? Arent you guys blackmailed by Sansa to do her bidding? Norman was confused, he thought they were also being blackmailed by Sansa just like him but turns out they were not being blackmailed, but were willing partic.i.p.ants in her schemes and were also being paid handsomely.

Newbie what Grey Fur means is that we are doing this mission because Madam Web has promised each of us handsome rewards of choice. And no were not being blackmailed. Is that clear enough for you Sniper answered before Grey fur could answer Normans questions.

What? Norman thought his approach of gathering information was brazen enough but the answers he got from the Sniper and Grey fur was not something he was expecting. What kind of self-respecting card emperor would willingly partic.i.p.ate in the a.s.sa.s.sination of a teenager in the Card soldier realm. Not just one but 30 card emperors. Whats wrong with these people? Since when were Card emperors available for hire to kill a child.

Newbie, let me first welcome you to the Madam Webs club. Here in this club, you are what we call an intern, Sniper is a trainee and I am an official senior member.

The reason why you are not being paid is that you are an intern and have zero loyalty towards Madam Web. I bet you failed the madams test very badly for you to be an intern for so long. Suddenly Grey fur was interpreted by Norman midway.

What do you mean by I have been an intern for so long? Have we been on other missions together? Why do I not remember? Norman tried very hard to search his memories but the result was the same. This was the first time he had met with Grey fur.

If you can not remember me then only two reasons seem possible. One, some of your memories are still suppressed and second, some of your memories are erased by madam.

Madam hardly erases anybodys memories, I bet you must have p.i.s.sed her off very badly to get your memories erased.

Anyways, where was I? Yes, after completing the Interns.h.i.+p one becomes a trainee who has questionable loyalty towards madam but has pa.s.sed Madams test. Trainees are eligible to get paid. And over the period if you earn enough merits like me you become a member of the Madam Webs Club and will be paid handsomely for our work. Grey Fur let out a satisfied smile after finally being able to complete his explanation without any further interruption from Norman.

Wait, dont tell me 30 card emperors are willing to gather to kill a teenager of the card soldier realm for money? Since when did card emperors care for a few soul jades? Norman did not believe these Card emperors were willing to follow Sansa because of a few soul jades.

What I mean by getting paid is we get something more worth than soul jades. For example, look at Sniper, do you think any family will be willing to make him their future head? Grey fur asked Norman.

Norman did not know how to answer because Sniper was standing right next to him.

Dont mind me, be honest. Sniper pushed Norman for an answer.

Mr Sniper is more of a warrior and the battlefield is where you s.h.i.+ne the best. Family politics and management is not the best place for you. Norman chose his words carefully because he knew Sniper seemed the type to hold grudges.

Good save. Thats a way to politely put it. But the exact answer is no, no family would want a leader like Sniper. The family would fall to ruins the moment someone like the Sniper becomes the leader.

Yet, Sniper is now the top heir of his family. How is that possible? Its possible because thats what he asked Madam Web for in return for his services.

Madam Webs recruitment of interns is a bit crude and questionable but its effective as long as you pa.s.s her test anything you ever wanted will be within your reach. Grey fur seemed to know Snipers real ident.i.ty and was pretty close to him As Sniper did not snap being called a fool by him.

What about you Mr Grey fur? What did you ask in return for your service? Norman asked curiously

Arent you curious Newbie, I could tell you but I will have to kill you afterwards. Listen carefully, I rarely give advice, We all are being screwed hard but its up to you to decide whether you want to enjoy it or struggle till you are broken. Thats the only two end for you once you have entered madam webs club. Grey fur seemed to be a very private person despite him being in everybodys business.
