Chapter 104 The Seven Sins (2/2)

It was because no one had been able to survive an encounter with them if they take on a mission with all of them participating.

People back in the day would even say that they would rather have a One Blade assassin targeting them, rather than meeting those seven people.

This was also the time when Michael met them during a mission, where he was protecting a client, and that client of his were the targets of Seven Sins whom just recently came out of their retirement and took a mission just for the thrill.

And yes, as mentioned before, the organization doesn't just kill people, but they also take missions to escort and protect someone, and members are even allowed to kill each other as long as they don't do it inside the premises of any of the organization branches around the world.

And this event would have happened seven years from now, and that's also how Michael met them, where the name Shadow was a famous up and coming One Blade assassin.

Both sides tried to kill each other, and this was the very first time that Michael almost failed a mission, but he at least managed to cover his client's retreat, but this exchange almost cost his life as he suffered heavy injuries.

Genesis and the others also didn't fared well, as all of them sustained heavy and light injuries during their exchange with Michael.

And yes, Michael was able to repel them thanks to his trusty machine gun that his client lent to him when they met, he practically gave them the hail mary of bullets.

This event also solidified Michael's reputation in the underground scene back then, but it resulted in him getting a formidable enemy or enemies, as the Seven Sins announced to the world that they would take down Michael no matter what it takes, and Michael also did the same to them.

Their friction with each other caused more clashed between both sides, but with no victors coming on top.

And their respective enemies also took this chance to meddle in their affairs and try to kill them which in turn caused them their lives instead.

But because of this, their hostility towards each other lessened as they practically became frenemies. After all, both sides are considered Alphas and they wouldn't just let any Betas to touch their ”prey”!

An example would be when Michael was escaping and got seriously injured after a confrontation with another One Blade, and his enemies who are in the dark and were waiting for a chance to strike, made their moves known as they immediately tried to kill him, but everytime that they would be able to corner Michael back then.

Genesis and the others would always appear on time and save his ass, and would always tell him that he owes them his life before leaving him.

And Michael would also save their asses from time to time, and in time, those pack of hyenas who wanted to meddle in their affairs slowly learned that they would just be sending themselves to their deaths if they don't try to learn from their predecessors mistakes.

Slowly, Michael and the Seven Sins slowly became friends after that, as they slowly realized that no winners would emerge from their conflict, and would instead gave their enemies who are hiding in the dark a chance to kill them.

Back then, Michael's path to becoming a Legend wasn't easy, as it had always been fraught with dangers.

This was the reason why Michael was able to invite the rest of them to join him, and even Viper who weren't really interested about it was forced to come along when he heard that all of his friends are coming with him.

And Michael really trust them, not because they were friends before, but because they are the people who believes in honor and fairness, and anyone who tried to question their beliefs, received an extra hole in their heads.

During those times, Amanda was always by his side, taking care of him and nursing him back to health.

And he wasn't alone on his path to becoming a Legend, there were always those people who helped him behind the scenes, like Amanda, and this is why he was so heartbroken when he lost her.

And when he finally avenged her, he didn't die because the police shot him, but because from losing a lot of blood from his injuries he sustained, and he was already hanging by a thread when he finally met and killed the senator, so he would have died right there and then even without the police shooting him down.

Meanwhile.

A certain post on the game forum of Fate Online, sent an unprecedented waves towards the gaming community, which shocked them all.
