"Don''t look confused… You all know each other…" The young man chuckled slightly.


    Hearing this, the five became more astounded. They scrutinized each other faces but they couldn''t recall knowing each other. Since they couldn''t identify one another, they turned their head and looked at the masked man, waiting for his exnation.


    "It seems I had to exin from the beginning…." He paused and looked at the five men''s faces one after the other before continuing. "Do you remember the attack on the Viper gang?"


    Hearing the Viper gang, they raised their brow and widened their eyes. They nce at each other but decided to wait for the masked man in front of them to continue. Viper gang had many buildings in Vulture So they couldn''t pinpoint which is it. Since their calmness, the young man was pleased.


    "In Desert street, six men attack the Viper office, rescuing a middle-aged woman. Also, you six went together to burst the deal between Viper and a small gang." The young man smiled under his masked. "Everything I said, did it ring a bell?"


    The jaw of the five men was already on the ground. It took them a few seconds before they recover from the initial shock. They looked at each other with a wide gazed. Meanwhile, the masked man looked at their reaction without uttering a word. He understood what they were feeling right now. It would be bizarre if they didn''t act this way after undergoing two dangerous missions together.


    "Who are you… Are you the sixth guy?" One of the men asked.


    The masked man nodded. "Yes. I''m the sixth man."


    "Wow, you looked different. Nobody would believe you almost pissed at your pant when you first held a gun." Another man added with a smile.


    Hearing this, the menughed. Since they knew they have both undergone dangerous missions together. They were closer than before, having the feeling they could trust the person next to them.


    "I can''t be med. That was my first time on a mission and with a gun. I never fought with a gun before, so I need time to adjust." The masked man said casually.


    Oh!


    The men raised their heads, not expecting such a direct answer. "Which weapon do use to fight if you don''t use a gun." A sturdy man asked, while the smile on his face never disappeared.


    "That you would find out soon."


    "But who are you to know our identity? We believe Terra keeps our identity hidden. So…" A skinny man asked with his brow raised.


    "Don''t you know by now?" The masked man asked yfully.


    The five men shook their heads.


    "Oh, I see... I work for Terra World."


    Hearing this, the men nodded in eptance. Only the people working for Terra World would know of their identity. And besides, this young man in front of them will have a high-rank position in Terra World to be privileged to know of user''s identity. They thought.


    "Now, without wasting out time…" The masked man paused, a slight huffing sound came from his mask while all the men brighten their eyes looking at the man with rapt attention. Everyone controlled their breathing while the venttion box hummed quietly in the room.


    "You five will personally work for me… and that start from this moment." The mask announced slowly.


    The five men froze for a few seconds, all their gazes fixed on the mask. Shortly, an exhaled was released by one of the men and gradually, every one of them began to release the breath they''ve held for a couple of seconds. They took arge gulp of air and rx on the chair. Everyone in his own thought.


    After a couple of quiet moments, a man by the far end took a deep breath and ask. "Why do you want us to work for you?" He looked at the others and continue. "The way I see it. We are already working for Terra World. So…"


    "You don''t need to work me." The masked manpletes the sentence, facing the man. He straightens his back on the chair while crossing one leg over the other. "Simple, because I chose you."


    "You chose us?" Another man asked with his brow raised.


    "Yes!" He answered calmly. "Why do you think all you attend the same mission twice? That never happens in Terra World."


    Oh!


    The realization dawn on them. They rx on the chair, looking at the confident young man sitting in front of them without knowing what to say again. The fact they saw workers of Terra World had been a separate shock, while also all of them had been on a mission twice while they were not aware. Now, they need to work perfectly for the young man in front of them.


    "Is this not against Terra World?" A man asked abruptly.


    He chuckled and shook his head. "If this is again Terra World. You won''t be alive to ask that question by now."


    Hearing this, the man gasped and looked at the others, dumbfounded. Are there any more questions? Theymunicate with their eyes while shaking their head.


    "Don''t think too much about me asking you to work personally for me." The masked man announced, seriously. "You have this privilege because we''ve gone on a mission twice. Apart from that, you have nothing outstanding that may warrant me demanding you to work for me. Besides, I can make you work for me directly or indirectly from Terra World without you knowing me. But I choose not to."


    The men took a deep breath at the sudden change of the masked man''s attitude and the truth of the matter. Why did they think they are someone special? They didn''t realize it when their smugness began when they realized they are in front of a guy working for Terra World, thinking they are special. But the harshness of the truth woke them up from that illusion.


    >>Oh… it seems your men think they are special….


    ''That''s normal. Out of thousand knights and I chose them to work for a staff of Terra World directly. Anyone would think like that. However, not in my presence.''


    >>Sometimes, I don''t understand you. You support them likewise, you go against them.


    ''Understanding why they did something doesn''t mean I''ll concur to it.''


    "Do you get me?" His raspy voice was strong, giving no room for objection.


    The five men nodded their heads like a pecking chicken, scared by the abrupt change in the masked man''s attitude. The lively atmosphere hadpletely disappeared while they felt a sudden pressureing from the masked man.


    They dare not breathe too much, also the humid atmosphere became unbearable while thousand of thoughts were running through their minds. But one thing is for sure. They knew they better not get on the wrong side of the man sitting in front of them.


    However, it was oblivious to the masked man what the five men why undergoing. He only concentrated on the men, trying to show his dominant attitude and who was the boss.


    After a couple of seconds that feel forever for the five men, the masked man rxed in his chair while the pressure on the men disappears, and immediately the men could breathe normally. They gasp, taking arge gulp of air.


    Seeing this, the masked man was puzzled, looking at the men in shock. What''s going on? Why did it seem they were under some pressure?


    ''Lily, did you know what happen to them?''


    >>How would I know…? You are the one sitting in front of them… I should be the one asking you…. However, their action seems too real to be faked. Do you do anything for them?


    ''What kind of question is that? If I did something to them. Will I be asking what is wrong with them.? Common use your brain or whatever it is…''


    >>Ding*


    [Host be warned. Don''t use your mouth to profane the system. This will be yourst warning.]


    Watching this, Emma was surprised, but he quickly recovered from his shock and shook his head. ''They system acting weirder every day''


    "Do you agree to work for me?"


    Hearing the question, the men looked at each other. Did they have a choice? They force out a smile and nodded. Seeing this, the masked man nodded.


    "I will call you first guard to the fifth guard. ording to your performance during your test, you should know your level, Right"


    The men nodded.


    "Stand up and introduce yourself from the fifth guard."


    At once, the five new guards introduce themselves. Completing the introduction." You''ll receive 10 men each. The training of each guard depends on you. I won''t interfere in it. Also, there will be a ranking among you. However, if the normal knight performs better than you. I will rusticate. I don''t want useless people under me. Clear?"


    "Clear!" the men chorused.


    [[Master, the Viper gang are moving strangely. Their men are getting spreading in the vicinity of some of our resource location.]]


    At once, the masked man brought out a small device and input some instruction in it. The masked man looked at five men and said. "You have your first mission."


    What!


    Already!
