Chapter 410: Early Morning, Unexpected News (1/2)

The following day in the real world.

Michael was just leaving his driveway when he suddenly got a call from someone unexpected, which raised an eyebrow when Michael saw the name on his phone screen.

[Charon…]

“Charon? Why is he calling me? I suddenly don’t have a good feeling about this” Michael said as he picked up the call with some hesitation.

“It’s me”

[Hahaha, Good morning to you, Mr. Shadow]

A laugher came from the other side of the phone call, causing a twitch on Michael’s face.

Michael just rolled his eyes and said, “Well, it was certainly going great earlier until you called, and I feel like something bad is gonna happen with you calling me this early in the morning”

It was answered with a chuckle, as Charon replied saying, [Oh, it’s not that bad. We just have another job for you]

“Can I refuse?” Michael said.

Charon chuckled and replied with a blunt tone: [No]

“Hmmp!”

Michael couldn’t help but snort hearing that, before sighing in defeat, “Can’t you guys give me a break? I just finished one a few days ago, and I have another one already? Anyway, what is it? Give me a rough summary before sending me the full information on my phone later. God, my record must be so clean that you’re hounding me like this, Charon”

But Charon’s following words shook him as they were words he wasn’t expecting to suddenly come up, and he felt like a truck had just rammed him over and sent him over to another world..

[The President of Pearl Nation wants your services]

But Michael quickly regained his senses and said, “A president of a nation? Why me? Shouldn’t this kind of client be handed to someone in the upper ranks?”

Charon seemed to like to chuckle on small things, “Zero strongly recommended you when the request came a couple of days ago”

Suddenly losing his temper, Michael couldn’t help but let out a shout saying, “What?! He’s freaking mad! Is he trying to get me killed or something?!”

Even though Zero is now his superior, he feels incredibly angry and frustrated at the same time because he himself fully knows that there are certain rules that are meant to be followed regarding requests, especially when it comes from high profile individuals, like a nation’s president!

These kind of high profile jobs are highly sought after by people in the ranks of One Blade, as it brings them recognition and connections, as money doesn’t even matter to them at this point, and Zero recommending this f*cking job to him is literally putting a target on his back for people who are dissatisfied with this stupid decision!

He’s not scared, but he knows that he’s not at his peak, especially when there are a lot of restrictions around his identity.

Sparring with the others is just spar, it wasn’t meant to measure who was better, but it was just a way for them to keep their skills at their tip top condition.

And what Zero did was like a slap at the back of his freaking head!

It came out of nowhere, with not a warning whatsoever!
