While llisa and George enjoyed their al and drinks, Reign remained engrossed in his phone, scrolling through the Mission Panel.
His intention?
To find the perfect mission where he could eliminate a bunch of humans. It was the very purpose that led him to join this place in the first place.
As he looked at the Mission Panel, he noticed that each mission had its own level, from Copper to Gold. He could choose jobs from any of these ranks.
The Copper rank mainly consisted of simple missions, often just basic runner tasks. It felt more like being a mule for syndicates than anything else.
The Bronze Rank demanded more skill, but it still mostly entailed straightforward tasks such as eliminating unimportant people.
Advancing to Silver, the missions ramped up in difficulty, demanding a higher skill level.
Here, one could now undertake tasks such as assassinating high-level individuals or even dismantling small gangs.
But it was the Gold Rank that really captured Reign's attention.
The missions available were perfect for him.
Among them was a task to dismantle an entire criminal organization consisting of 100 individuals. It felt as though this mission had been tailor-made just for him.
With so many targets, Reign was sure he would level up and grow stronger after finishing this mission.
His plan was to continue working within the organization until he was powerful enough to go solo. This would provide a safe environnt for him to grow without having to deal with backlash.
llisa inford him that one of the benefits of joining missions was the ability to pay off the police to turn a blind eye to cris, provided he had enough credits to spare.
And if the Hunter Association caught wind that his cris were tied to missions, they wouldn't delve deeper as it wouldn't relate to Demon Activities any longer.
Nevertheless, he must remain vigilant to prevent his cover from being blown.
Regardless of the protection provided by the Organization, if everyone discovered he was a dangerous demon, even the Veiled Nights would sell him out to the Hunter Association.
Back to the Present.
He hurriedly clicked on the mission, afraid that soone else might snatch it away.
However, a notification prevented him from accepting it.
[Warning: You need more person to accept the Mission]
"Hey, what's the aning of this?" Reign grumbled in annoyance, turning to llisa for an answer.
llisa set down her glass after noticing that Reign's was in a bad mood.
"Oh, that's because that's a party type mission" she answered.
"So I can't take it?" Reign asked.
"Not necessarily. You can either recruit more people and create a team, or you can buy a Collateral, llisa replied.
She had intended to explain these details to him tomorrow, but his impatience required her to clarify now.
"I don't need a teammate. Explain to about the Collateral," Reign insisted.
llisa took a sip of her drink before explaining,
"The Collateral is sothing you can purchase in the Veiled Points Shop. You need to pay up 50% of the initial Veiled points reward for a mission as collateral. If you fail the mission, then that collateral would be liquidated, and it would be added to the reward pool," she explained, pausing to take a breather.
"This would ensure that not just anybody would take the mission and then give up midway after realizing that it was impossible to do," she added.
Reign nodded after hearing her explanation. He could understand the logic behind this move. It was true that people tended to overestimate their abilities when faced with the allure of big money.
Thus, by implenting this rule, the organization was deterring others from acting impulsively.
Taking on a mission was one thing, but completing it was another.
If a lot of failures accumulated, then even the na and reputation of the organization would be tarnished.
And for the Veiled Nights, which relied on connections, they could not afford such losses.
He looked at the reward for the mission and noticed that it was 30,000 Veiled Points plus an additional 15,000 Veiled Points, indicating that another team had already failed to complete it.
'These rules are so straightforward, but I like it,' Reign thought to himself.
It was much better this way, avoiding unnecessary process .
Overall, the Organization did not prevent anyone from taking on the mission as long as they were confident enough in their ability.
With that in mind, he checked the Veiled Points Shop and found the Collateral he needed to accept the mission.
However, the problem now was that he only had 11,000 Veiled Points, and he needed 4,000 more points to purchase it.
"Can you lend so points?" Reign asked. llisa was the only person he knew who worked for the organization.
llisa paused, her expression reflecting her concern.
"Are you sure about this? Taking on a mission of this scale is dangerous, especially for soone new," she asked.
It wasn't that she doubted his power, but completing a job this big required more than just raw strength.
"Don't worry, if I go all out, then I'm confident I could even fight dozens of ard people at the sa ti," Reign leaned closer to llisa and whispered.
"What I used in the exam was not even half of what I can do," he added. There was no arrogance in his voice; it was simply the truth.
Reign had another attribute: Energy.
Any attack that he infused with his energy beca stronger, and this was the basis for his confidence.
llisa was taken aback by his claim, yet deep down, she couldn't help but have faith in him.
"Alright, I have a savings of 11,000 Veiled Points here," she sighed and gave in.
"I only need 4,000," Reign replied, confused as to why she wanted to give him more.
"Trust , you will need it," she answered, pulling out her phone to transfer the money.
It was pretty straightforward; she just needed Reign's account number and then would email him the attachnt.
After getting the 11,000 points ,he imdiately purchased the collateral.
When he returned to the Mission Panel, the Collateral was used instantly, and another notification popped up on his phone.
This ti, it contained the complete information regarding the mission.
The notification revealed the mission details:
[Destroy the entire Anigma Gang. The Anigma Gang is a notorious group involved in drug trafficking, with multiple drug labs located outside of Summit City, and bars inside the Central Area....]
Reign read through all the available information in the file, but sothing struck him as odd.
Only specific goals were included, such as killing over 100 people and destroying at least 3 drug labs and 2 bars.
"Where are the location of the Drug labs? The bars ? " Reign looked at llisa , she was the one that knows more about this stuff.
"You want information? You either do your investigation yourself or buy it in the Black market," llisa responded with a chuckle.
"I told you you would need more points," she winked at him.
'Fuck, this organization is too greedy!' Reign grumbled inwardly.
Everything here cost money, which was frustrating. But after he cald down, he realized that this system was very logical.
Greedy, but logical.
By assigning a price to everything, it ensured that the circulation of Veiled Points would remain flowing. It was basic economics.
'Ti to check the black market,'
