RISE OF EROS

These three organizations were not as powerful and recognized as those previously mentioned and known as the Big 5, but still, no one dared to underestimate them, not even the barbarians who ruled the city.

Although Shadow agents were unable to collect very detailed information from these organizations, they did find some things that Andrew and the others paid special attention to.

The first was the Church of Life, not only was it strange that a church or religion prospered in a city like this, but since its principle was healing and life, it was strange that it did not have conflicts with the Apothecaries Guild of the forest elves.

Since both organizations were not associated, it was strange, since the church provided healing and medical services, so in a way, they were competition in this area of ​​the Apothecaries Guild, which was strange that they were not hostile to each other.

Learning this, Andrew couldn't help but ask the question, "Why, aren't the Church of Life and the Apothecaries Guild enemies?" Oliver and Castor had also thought about the same question, so they looked at Shadow's agent, waiting for an answer.

Shadow's agent, seeing that the 3 bosses were looking at him, smiled bitterly and replied, "I'm sorry to disappoint the young master, but we actually still don't know the reason."

Andrew did not scold his agents, since it was normal that they could not collect all the relevant information about a city in a few days. Some people have spent countless years researching it and not even they would dare to say that they know everything.

Andrew let out a sigh and said, "It doesn't matter, I understand that it is difficult to get so much information so quickly. For now, find out the relationship between the Church of Life and the Apothecaries Guild".

Shadow's agents eagerly nodded but they did not leave immediately, as they still had other things to report. After that, the agents began to tell them about the Mages Union.

This organization was quite simple on the surface, but now that they listened to the Shadow's agents they understood that things were not as simple as they seemed.

Although the Mage Union is dedicated to protecting the interests of wizards, when Shadow's agents began investigating, they realized that they could not find information about the core members, or the operations they carried out to stay in operation.

Every organization needs resources to remain operational, so they need money to obtain these resources, which forces them to carry out certain activities, but for the Union of Mages, Shadow's agents had not found what activity they carried out.

The Church of Life offered healing services and received donations, the Assassin Society obviously killed for money, but with the Union of Mages, no one knew how they made money, so no one knew how they could still function.

It was for this same reason that the Union of Mages was always in the crosshairs of the other organizations in this city. What's even more suspicious is that while they defend the interests of wizards, not just any wizard can join.

According to what Shadow agents were able to find out, this organization does not receive members but rather recruits them. That is to say that the magicians cannot arrive at the door of the union and say that they want to join, rather the organization goes directly to the person and invites them.

It is even said that there is not a single wizard in the city that the Union of Mages has invited to join who would reject the proposal. All this made this organization very mysterious since little was known about it, and the unknown is dangerous.

Finally, the Assassin Society was the simplest of all. As its name says, it is a group of hitmen, but no one knows where its base is, how many members this group has and only the members know other members.

They were so hidden that not even the barbarians who controlled the city knew this information. The only thing known about this organization is that its members have a star system according to the ability of the assassin.

This system ranges from 1 star to 10 stars and obviously, the more stars the assassin has, the more reliable and expensive it is. It is said that there are only 3 10-star assassins and they can even kill a super expert.

This surprised Andrew and the others, because a super expert is not weak at all, in fact, on the continent it is a great battle power. Oliver seriously asked, "If no one knows where the base is, or who the members are, how do they take jobs?"

"According to what we discovered, they use a bar in the red light district. There the shopkeeper Ben receives the order and within 3 days finds the right assassin for the task. It is also this Ben who receives the money from the job," one of Shadow's agents responded. Stay connected through empire

"How is that man still alive?" Castor asked this time because it seemed incredible to him that an intermediary of a group of assassins could live to this day, but the response of Shadow's agents left him frozen.

"Well, as we found out, Ben is not the first to do this job, in fact, he is the fourth. Just as Mr. Castor mentioned, being the face of a group like this is seeking death, but so is offending this Assassin Society".

Shadow's agent paused and continued saying, "His predecessors were murdered by relatives or close friends of some victims of the work entrusted to this organization, but the perpetrator, along with his loved ones, was also murdered shortly after".

"I see, killing the face of this organization is asking the assassins to look for you, so after three attempts, no one dares to play with them anymore, right?", this time it was Oliver who asked.

"Yes, especially for those who were killed on the third occasion," Shadow's agent responded, which generated curiosity among Andrew and the others, so the agent continued speaking.

"The third intermediary of this group was killed by the son of a high official of the city council since a price had been put on the head of a brother-in-law, so when his brother-in-law was killed, this barbarian went to ask about the person who had requested this kill, but the intermediary refused to answer".

Since he had said so much, Shadow's agent took a short breath and continued saying, "As the intermediary refused, this man threatened, tortured, and then killed him, but he never got what he sought. The next day the city learned that that man, his wife, his children, and even his widowed sister were found dead."

Hearing this, Andrew and the others could not put on serious expressions, as it seemed that there were too many mysterious and dangerous organizations in this place.

They were almost regretting having come because it seemed like they would get into a lot of trouble, but they also knew that opportunities are born from chaos and it seemed that only in a city like this could they progress by leaps and bounds.

With this, the Shadow agents had finished their report, so without delay, they left to continue their investigations. Andrew and the others were transported to the Cannaris Palace and discussed what they had learned with the others.

Like the three of them, everyone else was dumbfounded upon hearing how dangerous Star City was, but they had the same thought as Andrew, Oliver, and Castor, that is, chaos brings opportunity, so they never thought of retreating from the city.

After discussing this topic, they went on to discuss what they should do next. Many ideas were brought forward, but in the end, Andrew decided that as long as they were just doing their business, they should not have enmity with anyone.

Obviously, no one believed that this would happen since they have always focused on doing their business and someone always appears to bother them. Andrew knew this too, but he didn't want to prepare for all the possibilities before opening for business, because if he did he would never open.

Everyone understood his thoughts, but he never stopped worrying about them. With that concluded, it was decided that Sonia would accompany them to the slave market to find courtesans for her pleasure house.

Unlike other cities, here, slaves were the norm for brothels, since there was no strict government and if you did not have the slave mark, escape was not difficult.

For this same reason, there is also no perception among people that sexual slaves are of low quality as is the case in many other countries, so Andrew had to obtain his courtesans from the slave market.

With all this planned and decided, everyone went to sleep. Andrew compensated his wives with a night of pleasure and the next morning they rose refreshed to carry out their activities.

Andrew, accompanied by Sonia, Oliver, and Castor, rode a carriage and went to the city's slave market. This market was not really located inside the city but on the outskirts of the desert.

It was massive. Large wooden corrals stood in a large area that was no smaller than the city itself. There they kept the slaves as if they were cows or any other barnyard animal.

Although the conditions of these slaves were not the best, they were well fed and healthy, not to mention that they could find slaves of all races, colors and ages.
