051. Black Prince (1)

An ominous aura emanates from the two men in the same room. A cold blade is touching the Adam’s apple. There is a sense of tension as if the carotid artery will be cut at any moment and blood will spurt out like a fountain. At that moment, the masked man slowly opens his mouth.

“Why would someone like you want to join the Information Guild? If you joined the Battle Guild, you could easily rise to a high position…….”

“Power is not necessary.”

‘I just need information… ‘

It is impossible to confirm whether this person is the Black Prince or not, and now the truth is irrelevant. In the Robera Guild, the only person with the most power, aside from K4, is Jones. And he was subdued in one move without even being able to see his movements? He is a powerful person who can shake the foundation of the guild.

You can’t let such a big shot rot away in the hands of the average or mid-level. It’s a fair method for someone who is hard to read and quick-witted. Jones swallowed hard and continued.

“If you listen to what I’m about to say, you won’t be able to leave our guild. If you want to leave, the only way is to kill and destroy. Oh, of course, you can join the combat guild undercover. There are still many members like that. Going in person is the best way to get information.”

Jones paused for a moment, then lowered his eyes and pointed at the blade. He wanted it to be put away. It was uncomfortable, but he was also scared and his head was not working properly. However, Icarone opened his mouth without any change in expression or behavior.

“say.”

“I’m telling you to continue,” Jones said after sighing slightly.

“Hmm… What do you think is most necessary to kill someone? A good sword? Incredible skill?”

Icarone’s eyes lit up slightly as if something was off about his question.

“information.”

At his answer, Jones’s eyes also turned curious.

“Oh… This is easier said than done. Our guild has levels from ordinary to special. Ordinary is….”

The general is a guild organization of five people per region. They have no way of knowing the true nature of the guild. Even if they become a guild member, the information they can know is extremely limited. Guild members only know people in their group. The information they diligently gather is retrieved by lower-level members. Lower-level members cannot be found either. All they can do is wait for a guild member to come to them.

In addition to such information retrieval, junior agents gather information on a broader scale. They can also receive targeted information requests, and have a network of contacts that can contact mid-level agents, so they can pass on information at any time.

And the location of the branch is revealed to mid-level agents. Most of them only handle information requests, and the information collected by lower-level and general agents is selected and organized and passed on to higher-ups.

Jones paused for a moment, exhaled carefully, and whispered softly, as if he didn’t want anyone to hear…

“And the real thing starts from the upper level.”

Icarone also expected that the reason for the question from earlier would come out, and listened intently.

“The Information Guild itself is so hard to identify, and because they do a lot of covert work, people who take advantage of that characteristic have emerged to take on requests.”

“A request that utilizes characteristics…….”

It was Jones who continued speaking in a trembling voice, unlike usual.

As expected, the request using the trait was an assassination request. They naturally refused, since their military power was lower than that of other combat guilds. However, K2, who was now promoted to a special rank, accepted an assassination request on his own during his senior years, and that inseparable desire began.

However, even now, they only take on a very small number of assassination requests, and most of them deal in information. Since they were not raised with the goal of assassination from the beginning, there are not many who are skilled. Only about ten people, including Jones and K4 in the special class, take on assassination requests.

When an assassination request comes in, the K4s judge and assign it to an appropriate high-level agent. Although Jones is still a high-level agent, he is not sure, but it seems that he carries out assassinations even when there are no requests in order to adjust the power within the city of Shar.

Even if you have outstanding skills, there are no exceptions to rising from the bottom. The reason for this is said to be loyalty to the guild and the time spent observing to figure out what kind of person you are.

Finally, the special class consists of only four members, and they are called K4, and they are the real rulers of the guild. They are sly snakes who have no idea what they are up to, and even Jones has never seen their real faces except for K2. This is because they always have their eyes and one side of their face covered by a half-mask. It is said that even if you just look at one of them, you can tell that it is an incredibly sexy woman.

“Why are you telling me that information now?”

“Of course, it’s for our guild. The real reason our guild received the assassination request wasn’t money. I personally experienced the effects of the change. Since you’re the Black Prince, I don’t need to see your skills, but can you do some assassinations?”

The corners of Icarone’s mouth slightly rose at his question. At that sight, goosebumps appeared all over Jones’ body without him knowing it.

“Oh, I asked a pointless question. Anyway, here’s what I was thinking. You need to quickly use the guild’s information power, and the guild needs to use you, and to do that, you need to reveal that you’re the Black Prince.”

Jones thought that this was the only way to convince the K4s to accept the extraordinary treatment of promoting Icarone to a higher level. They also would not want to easily let go of this big shot who was far above Jones in skill.

So, is Icarone trustworthy? Although they haven’t been together for long, Jones decided to trust his ‘eye’ and ‘intuition’ for people, which can be considered his strengths.

The Icarone we’ve seen so far is cruel and cold, but he’s not the type of person to cause trouble other than what he wants. If he were to come in, the guild’s position could change. It was a moment when Jones’s usual cool-headed and bold decisions would shine.

A dark stone room, only a luxurious candle holder decorated with gold illuminates the place. Four people are sitting around a round table, one meter apart so that their noises do not intrude on each other. One woman and three men, they are wearing matte black masks and are silently turning over documents, but the silence is not heavy or stuffy. This means that such places happened often.

At that moment, a person wearing a black mask appeared without a sound. They were not surprised, and did not even look away, but just stared at the documents. The masked person quietly opened his mouth as if he was familiar with the sight.

“The case of Marquis Taregael of the Kingdom of Berion has been dealt with.”

“Yeah, okay. Thanks for your hard work. Go out.”

The masked man bowed his head slightly to show respect and disappeared as silently as he had come. The man who had waved his hand and told him to leave sighed as he roughly put down the documents. He was a man with a sturdy build, with long yellow hair that reached his shoulders and only the tip of his hair was tied up.

“Haa, this…….”

At his sigh, the woman sitting across from him raised her eyes slightly while still holding the documents and asked. She was a woman with long, dark purple hair and a seductive air.

“What’s going on?”

The voice is as captivating as the atmosphere.

“J4, that bastard’s work, huh?”

The man flicked his finger and pushed the document he was looking at towards her. The woman’s eyes softened as she accepted the document.

[Report, Code: J4] We’ll explore the new party information coming to Shar, three beauties and one man.

His personality is revealed from his expression. The woman did not dislike J4 like that. In this place that is bound to be dry, wouldn’t it be okay to have at least one person with a human touch?

“This guy is always acting like he’s his own boss. He followed a pretty girl around again.”

The man who had handed the woman the documents grumbled. The corners of the woman’s mouth slightly rose at his appearance.

A few days later, the same person’s report came up again.

[Report, Code: J4] C-rank subjugation request, solo handling of A-rank orc named ‘EL’.

“A-Rank? Have you ever seen an Orc named A-Rank?”

The yellow-haired man asked, tilting his head. The other two men remained silent, and only the woman answered his question.

“I’ve heard of it. I heard that there was an A-rank in the East a few years ago.”

“Ah, that’s right. What was its name…? Did you catch that too?”

“They were all caught, the punitive force…….”

At her words, the hand that had been waving the papers paused for a moment and then started moving again.

“I see. Anyway, there’s no way this guy could do anything wrong, so let’s register him as a person of interest and assign one more mid-level agent to indirectly monitor him.”

“That’s right, A-rank talents are rare…….”

* * *

-widely!

The man slammed the papers down on the table again nervously.

“Why, J4?”

“No, it wasn’t him, but it was because of him.”

The woman poked her head out and glanced at the documents. This time, her eyes narrowed a little.

[Report Code: S16] J4 acts alone, approaches the party leader, is assumed to be asking to join the guild, and his whereabouts are unknown thereafter.]

Just as the woman finished reading the report, the man shouted.

“No, why are you recommending a guild to a mere E-rank? This guy is crazy.”

“It seems like you want to bring that much. Let’s wait and see. After all, the general public is a guerrilla organization.”

The woman’s expression was stiff, but she continued to speak calmly. At that moment, a loud noise was heard outside.

-Kuwang bang! Squeak.

“what?”

The man shouted sharply. The one who opened the door roughly was none other than J4, Jones. After him, a man with black hair and a black coat was seen following him in. No one could fail to notice that it was the party leader of a woman named ‘EL’, who they knew from the report.

“What are you doing… J4?”

The large man, who had been silent until now, asked in a low voice. She could sense that he was suppressing his anger by the slight trembling. The woman also seemed surprised and stood up from her seat.

This is an extremely secretive space. Out of the thousands of people, less than twenty were allowed to enter. Whatever his intentions, bringing outsiders here was unacceptable.

“J4, I’m disappointed. I didn’t know you were so short-sighted…….”

Jones waved his hand in response to her and continued.

“No, K3. That’s not it……”

Then a black-haired man stepped forward, pushing Jones aside.

“I don’t want to waste time arguing. Let’s get to the point. I will need your intelligence, and you will need my sword.”
