Chapter 88 - A Sticky Person (1/2)

”What about Raven? Didn't you say he was getting a warm welcome?” Hecathe raised his eyebrows as he asked with suspicion.

”The warm welcome is naturally over,” Kelly shrugged her shoulders as she responded, ”Just because he's new, I can't have him slack off doing nothing. He has to work hard if he wants to be accepted by the other members.”

”Did he also agree to this mission?” Hecathe lifted the file as he asked.

Kelly smiled as she heard this question, ”Of course, he agreed to it. I can't force him to take missions. You're the one I paid and not him. I can force you to take mission but if he refuses, there is nothing I can do about it.”

Hecathe frowned as he heard this. This woman was proudly stating that she owned Hecathe at this point, however, Hecathe didn't focus on that too much as he found it harder to believe that Raven had agreed to this mission.

Hecathe was yet to understand that man but from what he had seen till now, it was clear that Raven would probably not be interested in such a mission that was threatening for them.

”I don't think he would willingly agree,” Hecathe spoke up as he stated his honest opinions and asked curiously, ”How did you trick him?”

Kelly chuckle as she heard this question and shook her head as she refused to give him a straight answer and asked back in turn, ”Why would you say I tricked him? I only told him the truth.”

”Spill it,” Hecathe snapped firmly and Kelly smiled as she simply stared back at the man.

”I'm not lying. I just told him the truth and he was more than interested to join us.”

”What truth exactly?” Hecathe frowned as he questioned.

”Nothing really,” Kelly shrugged her shoulder as she leaned back on her chair and spoke, ”I just told him that you'd be there as well and he immediately agreed.”

”...”

”It seems that he has also found an interest in your ability just like me,” Kelly spoke with a smile, but her thoughts could not be deciphered easily.

Hecathe sighed as he shook his head in disbelief, thinking that he should have expected it to be something like this.

”Then if you have no further questions, you can take this and head out,” Kelly beamed and Hecathe nodded his head.

Hecathe closed the file and kept it close as he stretched his palm out forward and waited for the woman.

Kelly looked to be confused as she saw this and she asked, ”What do you want?”

”Money,” Hecathe stated without missing a beat and Kelly looked to be stunned speechless.

”...”

”You don't expect me to fly all around the city, do you?” Hecathe raised his eyebrows as he asked, ”I'm considered to be a foreigner, and do you know how hard it is for a foreigner to live in this city. Everything costs double the rate. I need money for transport.”

Kelly gulped as she pursed her lips and took a minute to respond as she asked, ”Do you see me as a bank?”
