Trinity gazed out at the excited crowd, a slight smile playing on her lips. "You all know that our Morningstar Adventurer Team has so incredible support behind us,".
She began, her voice steady. "All our equipnt and cultivation resources co from this benefactor, and I'm sure many of you are already familiar with the power backing us."
She paused for effect, letting anticipation build in the air. "As you might have guessed from our team na, yes! Our Adventurer Team is proudly supported by none other than the Morningstar Restaurant, the top dining establishnt in Brigdemoor City!"
A wave of surprise washed over the audience; so had already suspected this connection.
It wasn't unusual for restaurants to back adventurer teams, after all, many noble families and influential figures in the city had one or two teams under their command.
"And the manager of the Morningstar Restaurant is Brixton and I big brother" Trinity continued enthusiastically. "Today, he's here to share so exciting opportunities with all of you, opportunities that can help you grow stronger and more powerful than ever before!"
The mbers fell silent, absorbing Trinity's words as they contemplated their potential futures.
Suddenly, the grand doors of the hall creaked open with a rumble, pulling everyone from their thoughts.
All eyes turned toward the entrance to see a young man around twenty years old stepping inside.
He wore an elegant white suit that shimred subtly under the hall's lights, his silver-white hair catching everyone's attention as he walked gracefully down the center aisle with a long white-and-gold cane in hand.
The Morningstar Adventurer Team stared at him in awe until Trinity broke the silence. "Everyone, et my big brother Felix! He's not just the manager of the Morningstar Restaurant but also our team's biggest supporter!" She bead as she introduced him.
Felix paused beside Trinity and smiled warmly at her before addressing the seven hundred eager faces before him. "Hello everyone! As Trinity ntioned, I'm Felix, manager of the Morningstar Restaurant and proud supporter of your Adventurer Team." His gentle deanor instantly put them at ease.
"I won't take up too much of your ti," Felix said with a quick glance around. "I gathered all of you here today because I want each one of you to beco true mbers of the Morningstar Adventurer Team."
Confusion rippled through the crowd; puzzled expressions replaced their initial excitent.
Suddenly, one brave soul raised his hand. Felix nodded toward him encouragingly.
"Um… Mr. Felix? I don't quite understand what you an," he said sheepishly as he scratched his head. "Aren't we already part of this team?" He sat back down as others nodded in agreent.
Felix smiled knowingly. "I see where you're coming from! What I an is that I want all of you to beco permanent mbers, to truly join what the Morningstar Family and beco our exclusive Adventurer Team ".
Everyone's eyes widened in surprise as they turned to Felix.
"Hey, Mr. Felix, what exactly is the Morningstar Family?" soone piped up, curiosity written all over their face.
Felix flashed a warm smile and replied, "Great question! While so of you might know as just the manager of the Morningstar Restaurant, let introduce myself properly: I'm Felix Morningstar, and I'm actually the proud owner of the Morningstar Restaurant!"
"Huh!"The collective gasp echoed through the room as everyone turned to Felix, their eyes wide with disbelief.
In Brigdemoor City, the Morningstar Restaurant was legendary, renowned as the most stunning dining establishnt in the entire city.
Everyone knew that its owner was a Tier 9 Forbidden Realm expert, and yet here stood Felix, rely the restaurant's manager.
They were utterly unprepared for the revelation that he was, in fact, the true owner of this culinary gem.
Trinity raised an eyebrow at Felix, her surprise palpable. "Big bro, aren't you worried this will get out?"
Felix chuckled lightly and shook his head. "Don't worry; I've already sealed off the entire building."
Trinity exhaled a sigh of relief and nodded. "I see."
"So of you might be skeptical about what I just said," Felix continued with a casual shrug. "But believe when I say it's all true! What I want from you is simple: beco exclusive Adventurers for the Morningstar Family."
Now, being part of an exclusive Adventurer Team isn't sothing new; it's akin to having a private army that follows their leader's command without question.
Unlike regular Adventurers who enjoy more freedom,able to leave whenever they please,exclusive teams are bound by loyalty and duty.
In Avalonia Kingdom, maintaining a private army is illegal, but many noble families exploit a loophole and that is the Adventurers.
While technically not an army, these teams serve as powerful extensions of their will. The Royal Family knows this but remains powerless to act against it for fear of upsetting both nobles and the Adventurer Association.
Felix understood this dynamic perfectly and planned to leverage it for his own purposes,a little private army at his disposal.
"Rest assured," he said with a grin, "the treatnt you'll receive here will far exceed anything other Adventurer Teams offer. You won't be disappointed!"
One brave soul stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Felix, can you tell us what benefits we'll receive if we join?"
"Of course!" Felix replied enthusiastically. "Tier 1 Beginner Knights will earn 5 million Gold Coins monthly; Tier 2 Interdiate Knights 10 million gold coins; Tier 3 Master Knights : 15 million gold coins,and so on! Plus, you'll gain access to invaluable cultivation resources: techniques, skills, potions, elixirs, you na it!"
A collective gasp filled the air as jaws dropped in astonishnt.
"M-Mr. Felix,is this really true?" one stamred.
"Absolutely!" Felix laughed heartily. "And each of you will also receive one Low Grade Mana Crystal every month."
"What?!" Shock rippled through the group like wildfire as they processed this incredible offer.
"Mr. Felix," Dilya suddenly spoke up from among them, her voice steady despite her shock. "I'm willing to join the Morning Family".
Felix flashed a grin and nodded at her.
" too! I'm in!" Soone declared enthusiastically.
"Count in!" Another one also shouted.
Suddenly, it seed everyone had made up their minds to join. With the enticing benefits laid out before them, how could they resist?
The promise of Gold Coins pouring in every month was enough to stir excitent, not to ntion the allure of Mana Crystals!
Who wouldn't want such heavenly rewards? Anyone who chose not to join would be truly foolish.
Felix exchanged a knowing glance with Trinity. She imdiately understood his cue, and with a graceful wave of her hand, a stack of Blood Oath Contracts materialized in her grasp.
"Dilya, co here!" Trinity called out.
Dilya appeared instantly at her side.
"Here! Take these and distribute them," Trinity instructed, handing over the contracts. "Let everyone read through them carefully; if they're ready to commit, they can sign."
"Yes, Captain!" Dilya replied eagerly as she began passing out the contracts to each eager participant.
Turning back to Felix, Trinity whispered thoughtfully, "Big bro, don't you think the benefits you're offering are a bit excessive?"
Felix nodded slowly. "While they might seem generous, ten tis or even a thousand tis better than what others get, it cos with its own weight."
A steely glint appeared in his eyes. "These perks aren't just gifts; they co with expectations. If they're receiving this much from , then they'd better be prepared to put in ten thousand tis the effort,and risk their lives for it. After all," he added with a cold smirk, "nobody eats my food for free!"
Trinity observed Felix and the crowd buzzing around the Blood Oath Contracts and shook her head with an amused smile.
Felix surveyed the Morningstar Adventurer Team with an air of calm confidence. Sure, he was now absurdly wealthy, richer than so small kingdoms, but that didn't an he'd lost his wits along with his riches.
After all, as he had ntioned before, nobody feasts for free at his table.
With the generous benefits he offered, it was only fair that they put in the work and face the risks that ca with it.
After all opportunities are accompanied by dangers and since they have decided to take this opportunity then they must face the dangers that cos with it.
"Did you change sothing about the Blood Oath Contracts this ti?" Trinity suddenly piped up.
Felix smirked, "You could say that. But wait, where did you hear that?"
"Nixie spilled the beans about what you did with the previous contracts when you were hiring managers," Trinity shrugged nonchalantly.
"That little girl has quite a big mouth! Can't she keep a secret?" Felix's lips twitched in amusent.
He turned to see the Adventurer mbers eagerly reading and signing their contracts, excitent lighting up their faces.
"With all these incredible benefits I'm providing, I had to find a way to bind them to completely," Felix chuckled. "Otherwise, I'd be operating at a loss if they decided to bail after enjoying everything I've given them."
"You're really acting like a devil; it's almost as if you're buying their souls!" Trinity teased.
Felix laughed softly and replied, "Hehehe! You're not wrong there; after all, my surna is Morningstar."
About half an hour later, every mber of the Adventurer Team had signed their contracts. Felix took them from Dilya's hands and tucked them away in his storage ring.
With a slightly eerie smile, he looked at everyone gathered around him. "Welco to the Devil...Ahemm I an the Morningstar Family! You won't regret your decision today."
