”Well, that's a bit disappointing. I thought you and he were already a couple, turns out he wasn't even in your mind.”

”The way your talking suggests I already know this person, am I right? Still I'm pretty sure I don't know anyone from the Shadow Mercenaries. Can you tell me his name? If I hear his name I might remember who he is.” Rachel still couldn't find a way out of this situation, so she continued the conversation.

”His name is Dalvir Greyhound, but you might know him better as Alexander Samarita.” When Rachel heard the answer, she was stupefied. She already kinda figured out that Alex was someone important to the Shadow Mercenaries, she was also expecting Samuel speak of Alex's name in this conversation. She was already expecting this answer, yet when she heard it with her own two ears, she was still surprised.

'Richter Greyhound was the boss of the Shadow Mercenaries.'

This answer made the most sense, and was within what the members of the Mercenary Club predicted. The Mercenary Club members already figured out that Richter was a person with a high position within a certain organization. Evangeline figured out which organization it was, the only thing they haven't figured out about Richter was his position in this certain group. Now that Rachel heard the answer she was surprised.

”I see that makes sense... Well aren't you guys lucky, the person in my heart is Alex.”

”Then are you finally willing to come with us?” Samuel thought that Rachel would finally agree to come back with them to HQ. Seeing as she was already cornered, and its not like what they were offering was a bad deal. She was looking for Alex and they would bring her to him, making her finally reunite with the person she so dearly wanted to see.

”No.”

”Alright, you just need to... What? Did you just say no?” Samuel asked confused as to wether he heard correctly.

”Yup, I said no. I don't need to be escorted by you people. So how about we reach a compromise. Just tell me where he is, and I will go on my own. That way, both sides are satisfied.”

Hearing Rachel's answer, Samuel looked at Hektor's direction. To Samuel the deal Rachel was proposing wasn't that bad, as the target would still come to their place. Still he needed to confirm it with Hektor who knew Richter the best among the ten of them.

Hektor who saw Samuel's questioning gaze, shook his head. When Samuel saw that he sighed and answered Rachel.

”Sorry I cannot allow that. If you won't come with us quietly, then you leave us no choice but to be a little bit rough with you.”
