Chapter 60 (2/2)
“Trust me, sister, a woman needs to know a hitman or two. You can ask my partner, Jack Hans, he’s accomplished a feat worthy of his name that countless woman wants to kill him for” Jack spoke with a serious expression: “You know Hans, those animals that think with their lower half”
“Lunatic, scram. Don’t mess with my business or I’m going to call the enforcers” the aunty cursed at him.
“Hah, business is so hard these days” Jack pulled his leaflet back and continued giving them out along the main road.
A dirty middle-aged man who seemed a bit awkward hesitated for a long time before walking up to Jack and spoke respectfully: “Lord Jack, the boss said that there’s a important meeting and sent me to call you”
“Ah, little B, go back and tell your boss that I have something important to do right now. I’m not going to some meeting” Jack glossed it over.
“Lord Jack, my name is Brown, not little B” the dirty middle-aged man weakly refuted him: “But this meeting is really important, boss said that you have to come”
“Ah, I got it, so it’s finally my turn to take the stage, then I’ll leave handing out these leaflets to you. Don’t be lazy now, little B” Jack gave the stack of leaflets to Brown and spoke seriously.

“For now, the only official members of the Ghostmen are us four. The other affiliated troops partly come from my old pirate crew, and partly consisted of criminals who came to take refuge in Reya” Cadiz Moreg sat on one side and explained the situation to Myerson. He was not too convinced about this guy being their leader, but since the other party was selected by Lord Negary himself, even if he had any dissatisfaction, this wasn’t the time to voice them.
“I’ve already sent someone to find Jack, he’s also working as an assassin, so if nothing happens, he should be here soon” Cadiz continued.
“If not for a certain reason, I don’t even want to come here” the white-robed Jack walked across the forest of bones while constantly looking up.
“What’s up there?” Myerson asked.
“Nothing, I’m just afraid of a hammer suddenly falling from the sky” Jack murmured: “Am I being unreasonable when I say that, that name should have been given to me as an assassin? Why the fat guy instead? Why did I learn to sneak around in the first place?”
“Ignore him, when his secondary soul was implanted, something unexpected happened and caused his soul to become chaotic. He’s always spouting some sort of tasteless joke or doing some inexplicable actions” Cadiz helplessly sighed.
At this point, Jack came up to the fat man Connor Kenway and spoke with a serious expression: “Hey fatty, what do you think about using a hammer? Or maybe a greatsword? The killing business has been bad lately so I’m planning to open up a weapon shop to make a few bucks, you want to pre-order a badge?”
The 5-meter tall Connor remained silent without saying a word, completely ignoring Jack’s banter.
“So you must be our leader then. I’m the Ghostmen King of Killers, Jack. Take care of me from now on. Until you become a box1, I’ll make sure to listen to your orders” Jack displayed a shamelessly malicious smile.
Although Myerson didn’t quite understand what ‘become a box’ meant, it was fine as long as he listened to orders. Myerson nodded and lightly gave the orders: “Lord Negary has given us our first mission. We of the Ghostmen shall move out and use the excuse of searching for Chris’ comrades Smick Lancher, Luen Donner and the rest to sweep clean the other forces within Reystromia”
“At the same time, we will be recruiting more Ghostmen affiliate troops, all of whom will undergo the Undead transformation” Myerson slowly explained as an ominous dark glow appeared on his body.
