Ranking System

Chapter 48 Unsuspecting Request (Part III)

Kurt writing the contract for both of us, had it ready. The terms were pretty straightforward.

pαпdα-ňᴏνê|·сóМ Kurt here would invest in me now. Within the five-year time frame, I would have to kill the man known as Ricardo Mullen. And once I kill the man, Kurt here would give me something equal to the value of the grimoire.

If I don't kill Ricardo Mullen within five years, I will have to pay Kurt back double the price of the investment he made.

And for the punishment of not killing, paying back will have my heart crushed. The failure of this job was horrifying, but making that amount or killing Ricardo wouldn't be that hard.

"I signed it. Now give me the grimoire and the medical supplies."

"Here, take it."

The owner had handed me the things needed. He didn't hesitate since he would get something out of this either way.

"Aren't you even curious about why I want him dead?"

"Honestly, no."

"That's quite frank of you. But could you let me tell you the story? I haven't spoken about it to anyone. I want to get it out of the way."

Great, now he's using me as a therapy session. He better pay me more for this. I wasn't the type of person to be consulted.

"I'll pay you more."

Reading my mind, I let him do the talking.

[Kurt POV]

"It all started twenty years ago."

In those twenty years, I haven't forgotten my hatred toward him. I remembered the incident like it was yesterday.

"Both Ricardo and I were friends. We have been close since childhood. You might as well call us brothers at one point."

Those memories would be something that I would cherish if that "brother" of mine hadn't betrayed me. Charles looked at me without any ounce of emotion. But still, I continued the story.

"Even after that fucker Ricardo had talent, we were still close."

"I wasn't talented in the ranking board, but I had a good sense of money. Using his talent matched with mine, we would get money at an incredible rate. I used some money for his growth while he gathered some materials for me to sell."

We were like two peas in a pod. Everything we did benefited each other. But why did he do this to me? My brother, who I trusted the most, betrayed me.

"You don't have to keep going if you don't want to."

Charles looked at me without any care. What a heartless bastard. Even if it hurts me to remember this, it was for the better.

"One day, I found the love of my life."

"Don't tell me Ricardo stole your lover! This story is pretty cliche."

I was rudely interrupted by the child who I wanted to make a deal with. My face flushed in anger hearing him say that. Fortunately, that wasn't what had happened. I won't have the courage to tell an embarrassing story like that.

"No! That fucker Ricardo killed her! He did it cold-heartedly, knowing that I loved her!"

I yelled it out, spoiling the whole story. Why did that fucker have to kill her? She did nothing wrong. That fucker had to kill her just because someone offered him some cash?!? Now I'm going to get that fucker killed by cash itself.please visit panda-:)ɴᴏᴠᴇ1.co)m

"You got the whole story. He is the same person as you. He never cared about our relationship. He only wanted my talent for business."

Now that I think about it, they're similar. Fuck! Just thinking about him pisses me off. And I'm going to lose some money because of this.

"You don't have to feel bad for killing him. I doubt you do. But if you did, kill that bastard in the worst possible way."

This was my only goal in life. My business, I don't care for myself anymore. The only reason for me to live is to have that man burnt.

[Charles POV]

"Well, nice doing business with you. Later."

Now that was something. So what Kurt here wants is revenge. Knowing this would change nothing. Getting the stuff, I left the room.

All of them were waiting for me outside the room. Were they trying to eavesdrop? Kurt was staying in his room, so he shouldn't know.

"Let's leave."

With the deal made, there was no reason to stay anymore. Nene was curious about the deal, while Reina looked like she already knew what it was.

Leaving the place, I made money without even trying. There were still free resources that could be earned from our school. At the rate I'm earning, I will suck everyone dry.

"Master~! What's the deal? We couldn't listen."

"The owner wants me to kill a man named Ricardo Mullen. The eighth-ranked in the overall ranking board."

"Did you accept~?"

I took out the grimoire and showed it to them for a split second. Nene and the rest had confirmed that I had accepted it.

"Young Master. I know this is late to say, but with your status accepting jobs like these would only hurt you in the long run."

Montgomery, Reina's aide, was worried. Not in the sense of my danger but my reputation. I told myself I didn't care what people thought of me, but now that I have these two, it would be harder not to care.

"Then I will make this the last one. Unless the Interdimensional Union Committee needs help urgently."

"What does the Interdimensional Union Committee have to do with this?"

"I'm working for them."

This news comes as a surprise for both of them. Reina and Montgomery don't know I have any involvement with them.

"Is that so? You might be in luck then."

I was confused about why Montgomery had said this. Nene then had a realization of what Montgomery had said.

"Master, I forgot~!"

"There is good news~! Boss said you will be going to a party in a different world~!"

"And you tell me this now?"

"Ehehe~!"
