Chapter 176 - The Ark Of Terms And Conditions (1/2)

Yan hugged the bag tightly and continued to chow down.

”Liked it? You can have the whole bag if you'd like. Doesn't make any difference to me.”

Yan's eyes widened with a smile starting to show.

”But don't get your hopes too high. This bag is for your recruitment and performance earlier. If you fail your missions, you won't be getting any food at all. Fail more than five times and I'll kick your sorry soul out,” explained Ashley, sternly.

”And how frequent are the missions? Is it every day?” asked Yan, stuffing his face.

”If you can kill more than 10 people on the wanted list, then I'll reward you a hearty meal. If you kill less than that, then each person killed equals to a loaf of bread.”

Yan's mouth was agape when he heard the terms. He looked at his loaf of bread.

”So, I have to kill just to eat?” asked Yan, shaking.

”That's how the world works. Learn how to step up before others steps on you.”

”That seems fair.”

”But if you were to kill a bunch of easy targets, be it a hundred, then I'll revoke that meal and give something less. If it's four easy targets, like villagers or poor kids like you, then the best I can give you is a loaf bread. For all four.”

”That sounds difficult.”

”Worry not. If you do kill only one, but that one as a ranking of a Baron or above, then I'll reward you handsomely. In terms of your language, I'll be giving double of what you are hugging now.”

”Double?” asked the young boy, as his eyes sparkled.

”It's worth the trouble. Most mobles are packed to the brim with bodyguards, so it's quite the normal reward, nothing too special. And the higher the ranking is that target, the better rewards I could give you. Even a promotion, perhaps.”

”Promotion? Ranking?” asked Yan, tilting his head.

”That's right, you are not rightly educated. Baron is the lowest for the noble ranks. Next is a Viscount, followed by an Earl. Then, it's my brother's title of Marquess, following that would be a Duke, and then a King.”
