Chapter 15: Assassin Brotherhood
🕑 Added 2023-08-19 05:33:23 +0000 UTCSeeing Parker had returned to the summoning world, Charles couldn't help but marvel at the greatness of the system.
Upon first learning that beings like Parker existed in the summoning world rather than the system space, he had instructed Parker to use reverse summoning to bring him into the summoning world.
That is a separate world, a world used by the system to house summoning beasts. His eight Ninja Dogs lived in that realm.
As for the exact size of that world, Charles Doyle didn't know and hadn't explored it yet. He couldn't go beyond the Inuzuka Mountain, probably because he hadn't unlocked other summoning beasts.
However, at the moment, besides him and his summoning beasts, no one else should be able to enter this summoning world. He just wondered if the masters of other dimensions or deities would discover it.
Looking at his nearly depleted reputation points on the system interface, Charles Doyle shook his head. Besides the ninja summons, he still had to worry about this reputation value.
After finishing the whisky in his glass, Charles Doyle returned to bed to sleep.
······
The next day-
The first thing Charles Doyle did when he woke up was to log into the system interface to check in.
Ding, check-in successful!
Received one Ninja Recruitment Scroll.
Would you like to upgrade to VIP2 to receive double scrolls?
Seeing that today's check-in reward was a Ninja Recruitment Scroll, Charles Doyle felt quite pleased. As for the so-called upgrade option, he could only mercilessly tap the "x." It wasn't that he didn't want to, but he genuinely didn't know how to upgrade!
Sometimes he wanted to ask the system, open your mouth and tell me what I need to successfully upgrade. I'll find a way to get it and make sure you succeed in upgrading.
But what frustrated him was that this system didn't have customer service.
Not to mention customer service, it didn't even have a system spirit. He had to figure things out on his own. Luckily, he was quite familiar with the Naruto: Shinobi Collection game.
Looking at the five ninja summoning scrolls he has saved up, Charles thought to himself that in another two months, when he has a total of ten scrolls, he could try summoning new ninjas.
It wasn't that he didn't want to do a single summon, but to guarantee summoning a ninja, he had to perform a ten summon.
Given his inability to upgrade and having already exhausted all his luck from the time he crossed over, he shouldn't even think about miracles happening with a single summon.
After closing the system interface, getting ready, and putting on the bulletproof suit custom-made at the continental hotel, Charles Doyle took a taxi to his office located at 71 Forrest Hills Avenue in the Queens District.
Pushing open the door to the office, just as Iruka Umino was about to greet whoever had entered, he saw that it was Charles Doyle and immediately stood up, saying, "Good morning, Lord Charles!"
"Iruka, have there been any tasks assigned to the office these past couple of days?"
Iruka picked up the task list from the table and said, "Searching for a lost cat and investigating whether a husband is having an affair – those are the only two tasks we have. The rest have all been completed."
"Currently, the tasks have been assigned to Sasuke and Rock Lee, so they should be able to complete them smoothly."
Hearing that there were only these two tasks, Charles Doyle felt a bit helpless. These tasks were obviously D-rank missions if you put them in the mission center. But, a mosquito was still meat.
Afterward, he said, "Iruka, hand me the signed task scrolls."
"Lord Charles, here are the task scrolls." Iruka took out two signed task scrolls from the cabinet and handed them to Charles.
Charles took the scrolls and then opened the system interface, entering the mission center to submit the two scrolls.
After being appraised by the mission center, both tasks were classified as D-rank missions, each with a reward of 200 reputation points and 5,000 copper coins.
Seeing these mission rewards, Charles Doyle couldn't help feeling a bit depressed. "We'll have to build a reputation for our firm. The rewards for these low-level tasks are just too low."
"Iruka, do you have any good suggestions?"
"Could we arrange for Rock Lee and Sasuke to take orders at the continental hotel?"
"The bounties over there are pretty good. With their strength, I think they can handle some ordinary assassination tasks."
Iruka presented his suggestion, while Charles Doyle shook his head.
"Iruka, for the tasks from the continental hotel, except for those I personally accept and complete, the tasks you receive can't be submitted to the mission center."
"Lord Charles, I can't think of any good suggestions at the moment. The proportion of higher-level tasks in the firm is indeed quite low.”
“Usually, we can only get one or two decent tasks per month. They mainly involve assassination tasks, which are pretty much monopolized by the continental hotel. Our reputation here is still too small."
"Only some employers who can't even afford the gold coins come to us to place orders."
Iruka had one more thing to say – both Lee and Sasuke were quite young, and they both had an Asian appearance. In the eyes of customers, they weren't taken very seriously. If it weren't for carrying Charles's name, they probably wouldn't get any tasks at all.
After all, if someone wanted Charles to take action, they could directly place an order at the continental hotel. With the backing of the hotel, their credibility was assured.
Hearing that the continental hotel was squeezing out their space to operate, Charles furrowed his brows slightly, thinking to himself: It seems that getting one of the 12 seats at the high table is becoming more urgent.
Only by becoming part of the high table leadership could he incorporate tasks from the continental hotel into the firm.
By then, the ninjas he recruited could also take on the continental hotel's tasks and upload them to the system's mission center.
John Wick, Winston, I hope you don't make me wait too long.
While Charles was lost in thought, Ginny walked in, with a smile on her face and a sweet tone as she spoke, "BOSS, did I hear you complain about not having any big contracts?"
Looking at Ginny as she spoke, Charles wasn't sure if it was an illusion or because of the big contract, but he felt that Ginny looked exceptionally charming today.
Clearing his throat, Charles looked at Ginny and asked, "Secretary Ginny, did you bring some good news?"
Ginny wasn't making a humorous joke this time; she spoke seriously, "BOSS, would you be interested in taking on a mission related to the Assassin Brotherhood?"
Hearing the name "Assassin Brotherhood," Charles's thoughts drifted away for a moment. In his previous life, he seemed to have seen a movie called "Wanted," which told the story of the Assassin Brotherhood.
However, he wasn't sure if it was the same one. He responded with uncertainty, "Is it the Assassin Brotherhood with the bullet-bending?"
Ginny nodded and answered, "Yes, it's that Assassin Brotherhood."
"Sure, I'll take it, as long as it's a big contract."
Ginny took out her phone and dialed a number, saying, "Come in."
In the next moment, a middle-aged man with curly hair pushed open the door and entered Charles's office.
