NOVEL NEXT Chapter 285: A Promise
*Snap*
Sneaky snapped his fingers and the man entered a dazed state again, completely oblivious to his surroundings.
"That is everything he knows." Sneak said. "Once I found out I interrogated him for another hour but he doesn't know much, he only heard that in passing, it wasn't like he is actively a part of the guild leaders plans."
Super started to think and go through the information in his head. Both Sneaky and Bubblegum recognized the look on his face. Sneaky hoped up and gave his seat to his boss while Bubblegum quickly took advantage of the situation and moved behind the couch to rub Super's shoulders much like the maid who had been massaging Sneaky earlier.
But Super was truly wrapped up in his thoughts and didn't notice Bubblegum slipping her hands into his shirt, trying to excite him.
Once he made a decision, Super snaped out of it and came back to himself. He realized what Bubblegum was doing but didn't stop her.
Super looked towards sneaky. "Were you able to build up enough contacts here? Are you ready to go?"
Sneaky shifted back and forth. "Yes, I have made a few contacts that will provide us with information in the future, but I still haven't found out who the traitor is."
"Mmm, don't worry about that. It is time to wrap up this mission. Finish hear and get back to your normal work."
"But… Boss, what should I tell the guild leader of BluePines. They have already paid us, and they paid us a good amount."
"Tell him that it was his recently promoted vice-guild leader. The vice-guild leader's sister is married to the twisted towers guild manager."
Sneaky's eyes widened. "What? There is such a close relation between the two guilds that are constantly at war?"
Super shrugged his shoulder. "That is what I was told."
"He, he, you knew who the traitor was the whole time didn't you?"
Super nodded. "Information is the most powerful when used properly. Holding it back allowed us to enter here and now it allows us leave when we want to."
Sneaky smirked. "Alright, I will inform the guild leader once you and Bubblegum are out of here."
Super nodded and got up from the couch. "Then we are on our we out." He said before turning to a shadow and slipped out of the building.
Bubblegum pouted since Super didn't wait up for her.
Sneaky chuckled and gave her a thumbs up. "Good luck."
Her cheeks turned read and she stuck out her tongue before turning into a shadow and then chasing after Super.
Super rematerialized on a hill the looked out over the city. When Bubblegumfairy appeared next to him, she realized that he was talking to someone. She patiently waited for him to finish.
When he finished, Super closed his interface and turned towards Bubblegum.
"Lucan isn't concerned about BluePines but I think we should still do something."
"Really? He isn't worried that they will attack his citadel?" Bubblegum asked with a surprised expression.
"No, he feels that the dwarves would be happy to receive the attack. But I think we can end this without having to do much."
"Sure, what do you want to do Boss?" Bubblegum asked.
"Dark." Super called out.
A figure suddenly materialized next to the two on the hill. DarkX_XAssassin appeared out of thin air. "What do you need Boss?"
"Go to the Twisted Tower territory. Last I checked, they made most of their operating funds by controlling a mithril mine."
"Who do you want to die?" Dark asked.
Super rubbed his chin. "Take out the mine overseer and the guards at the storage warehouse."
"Do you want to me to retrieve the mithril stores?" Dark asked.
Super shrugged. "Take, I don't care if you bring it back or not, but I can't be left there. The most important part," Super then turned towards Bubblegum. "Is that you need to be seen escaping."
Bubblegum smiled. "Who do you want me to be?"
Super held up a finger while he talked to Sneaky. After a quick conversation, Super used an illusion to show Bubblegum a model of a player from BluePines. "Sneaky said, this fella is about to defect from BluePines and join a different guild. Let's take advantage of his departure."
"Alright, alright, but I want a bonus." Bubblegumfairy said.
"Alright, I can give you 5% of what I earned from this deal with BluePines."
Bubblegum shook her head.
Super frowned slightly. "The most I will do is 7%."
DarkX_XAssassin, off to the side, suppressed his laughter. He wasn't going to ask for a bonus since the boss told him he could keep any mithril that he could get his hands on, but it seemed that even with all of Bubblegum's flirting, he still didn't understand what she wanted.
"I don't want money. I want a promise from you."
Super was taken about for a moment. "I won't give you a blank promise, you have to tell me what you want first."
"He, he, that's no problem." She said with a smile. "I want you to take me out for a private dinner. And I want it to be alone."
"Uh… Sure." Super said while looking away to hide the blush on his face.
"Good, and I really mean alone. I don't want dark to be hiding in the shadows."
"Hey, keep me out of it. I don't want to be caught up in that." Dark said while holding his hands up.
"Alright, I promise you." Super said.
"Good." Bubblegum said as she started skipping away to complete her task.
Dark looked towards Super who had a helpless expression spread across his face. Dark shrugged and then faded into stealth and followed after Bubblegumfairy.
Before he got a moment to collect his thoughts, he received another message. Silent Night was in need of his services. Super never hesitated to help out Lucan and Silent when he was able to, so he responded immediately.
