Vengeance of the Returner

Chapter 67: Mission

He slammed the book on the table and removed his t-shirt with a smirk. Cinzia sat on the bed with her head tilted up facing the shirtless Youngman opposite her. He smirked and grabbed her by her chin and drew his face closer to her.

"Hmm, Why are you staring at me like that? Didn't you say that we were gonna have some fun?" He asked glancing at her lips and drifting his attention back to her eyes with his lustful eyes.

She chuckled.

"Hehe, why are you horny all the time Nix?"

"I just can't help with it, you know?"

She sighed.

"Hah, anyway I just want to know about the tattoo on your hand..."

Nix rolled his eyes.

"Hmm, I don't know... I think it is just a simple tattoo as proof of a deal. Why are you asking about it?"

"what the fuck?.... You don't even know what you are into? It's something serious because I have made some research after looking at your tattoo since I found it quite ominous. I found the explanation of your tattoo in depth. I don't know with whom you made your agreement. But, you can't go back or revert it. Fortunately, it's the same for them. I am really surprised because it is one of the high tier agreements.... "

"Wait a minute...."

He stopped her in the middle of her speech. He was in bewilderment. He just chose to make an agreement with Felishia in a flow without taking his time or researching whether he really needs to grab the agreement or not? Yet, that woman didn't fool him, and rather she was helping him all this time.

'Is that gonna be such a big deal? I think it's not that big of a deal...'

He just cleared up his mind and said.

"Is that agreement a big deal?"

She clicked her tongue.

"Tch, What the hell? You don't know anything. Do you? You are into one hell of a mess. But, don't worry you won't die. Although I was disappointed after finding out."

Nix furrowed his brows.

"What? Why would you be disappointed?"

"Yes, I've always been in doubt. Perhaps it's Felishia who you are in agreement with, right? I have been observing her and I found the same type of tattoo on her."

She said with a dejected face and continued.

"Do you know what that tattoo means?... There is a myth. It is said that they use this pact to chain each other's souls to not betray each other by gaining the permission of the celestial being, The Serpent of clandestine. Both the parties will be a slave for each other's biddings and you won't even be able to refuse or disagree. You can't harm them with your command though and they can't harm you either."

That explained why she even went out of her way to help Cinzia upon his request. Nix began to sweat as he felt anxious.

"So, what do I do now?" He asked while scratching his head.

"Why do you ask me?"

She pouted and threw a tantrum like a child while staring at him with her hands crossed to her chest.

'So, is this why you called me? huh? You Women are seriously are such wicked creatures!'

He had those words in his throat but chose to not say them.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. He approached the door and slowly opened it with a sigh. As soon as he opened Felishia entered his field of view with a smile on her face. It was not surprising to see her all of a sudden because she was certainly a mysterious woman who knows how to manipulate his mind. It was how she scouted him by bribing him with power and lust when he was completely broken yet, she is also an irreplaceable ally for him and a woman who was extremely good with the timing.

"Nix, We need to have a talk..." She said.

"Huh? Say it here."

"About the Elves and the Tiger kin..."

Receiving Nix's nod she continued.

"Those kids were complaining that you are not taking them with you. Make sure to use them."

'Who the hell are you?' He wanted to blurt those words out. He was not interested in the thing she wanted to talk about. he was concerned about the pact they made.

He certainly knew that she is the witch of seven sins but, he was in the dark about her personal data. No, He didn't even know her general information. He didn't even if it was her real name.

"Alright, is this what you wanted to talk about?"

"Yes"

"I have a question about the tattoo... can't you explain more about our agreement?" He questioned.

She rolled her eyes.

"Hmm, why are you bringing it up suddenly? We were already in the clear right?" She questioned and peered through the room and saw Cinzia. She ignored her glare and drifted her eyes back to Nix.

"It's just that... I heard that it is a high tier treaty made by getting permission from the so-called celestial being... Hmm, What's that?... Yes! some serpent of... I don't know. You used that shit?"

She giggled upon hearing it.

"Fufufu, don't you know I am the witch of Seven sins? So why would I use such meager spells? I did mention clauses, right? Don't take it to your head. I altered that agreement and devised it for our sole purpose. It would a dumb choice to use that shitty old-style agreement..." She said while adjusting her upper part of her skin-tight robe. Nix peered at her heart-shaped cleavage subconsciously. She noticed his gaze and teasingly smiled at him.

He smiled back at her without getting flustered. It was just natural to get attracted by her womanly charms so, didn't give a damn. He was already evolving and he didn't get shy or flustered like back then during their first meeting in the pub.

"Nah, I just wanted to clarify my doubt that's it."

"Ohh alright then. Off I go..." She said and turned.

She turned in the midway and reminded him again."Make sure you use those kids. They are just idle all these days and eager to do something"

With that, she left. He planned to kill her if she ever tried to fool him but, she didn't seem like a bad person other than being mysterious since she helped him and goal seemed to be achieved after a long term which meant he still got time in his hands to find out about her.

He slowly turned and glared at Cinzia with an annoyed face.

First of all, he was just a normal man like any other. He was not an extraordinary person. That was what he thought of himself. He was just a random man with anger issues and a twisted personality. As such he didn't think of himself as a big shot.

He knew perfectly that he would have been some background figure if it was not for the Nova energy. It was clear that Felishia scouted him because of that. It was because of that reason, he gained some allies and he smiled reminiscing it.

The trivial thing is The Nix with such power was barely able to save himself. So How did his past self survived? It was a question that always appeared in his mind.

Surely a man without any privileges would have suffered a lot. Which would have paved a different path in the growth of mentality and other perspectives in his past. He couldn't imagine what sort of hellish things he would have endured. That he even decided to send his 'WILL' back to himself to achieve a certain goal knowing that he would suffer again.

"Hmm, Cinzia I think I will take care of the agreement. It won't be such a big deal. Even if it becomes a big threat I am bound to help her because she helped me... Anyway, what about the clan establishment? The loot I brought would be enough right?" He asked while sitting next to her.

"Yeah, But, we don't have tax money we need to pay. Once we pay it we can be free of tax for the next six months." She said indifferently.

Nix massaged his temples and frowned.

"Dammit! this is so annoying... Why should we pay? For fuck sake! This goddamn world... This is so annoying. What do they do with such high tax money? This city seems colorless and they don't seem to care for the people. Why would they..."

Cinzia sighed.

"Hah, Calm down. You are such a short-tempered guy! Why do you care about money and other people in the first place? I am sure we will earn a lot more once you finish the process. Just wait for it."

Nix nodded his head.

"Hmm, As you said. I don't think, I am in a place to think about the well beings of others."

Cinzia smiled.

"I am glad you understood."

Her perception darkened as she continued her speech.

"Nix I received a proposal to clear our clan's debt..."

She seemed hesitant for some reason. Nix just nodded his head and asked.

"What is it?"

"Firstly I am sorry that I revealed your personal information to someone. But, can you go on a mission? It is to pay the debt that's needed to be cleared up... Sorry but, I can't go with my level. You are stronger than their clan members so they wanted to secretly hire you for this business."

"Yeah, sure If our clan's debt gets paid up why not?"

He said nonchalantly.

Cinzia was dumbstruck by his reply since she didn't expect him to accept it so readily.

"What? I thought you wouldn't be accepting it."

He laughed at her.

"Haha, Do you think I will be just like how I was yesterday? People tend to change. They evolve... I know that I can't be a good man at least I cannot be one when I am an Outlaw. If I gain a profit. Sure, why not do things? I don't think being wicked is wicked."

She had an intrigued expression and a smile on her face.

"Hmm, you sure catch up fast!"

She walked towards the wooden drawer in the corner of the room and took a brown envelope from it and handed it to Nix.

"Your mission will be to completely demolish a rich merchant family in Ferandel. Make sure to not leave a hint of proof. You will not be accompanied by anybody during the mission. You will be accompanied by two more people to get inside the city. For more information check the data and if you are confident to take on the mission contact the Requiem clan's Commander Rafila. Make sure to keep this confidential."

"Alright, I will check the information before making the decision. And I want our clan establishment to end soon. So, I am paying up my gems in the inventory."

"Sure, then I will contact the administrator and priests then. I think the whole process will end up within two days."

"Okay, now let's have some fun." He said with a smirk and grabbed her waist and made her sit on his lap.

They indulged in their play by letting out moans which resounded throughout the clan house the entire night.
