Recruiting 4

"It is fine with me, though we need to get one thing straight," Mazet started, she was struggling to tame her inner beast, "This is purely political, I cannot truly love you unless you are strong, so don't you think at all that you will be able to get your way with me!" She said, passion was burning in her eyes.

"Don't you worry about that, I'll prove my worth to you soon enough," Astor said cheekily, he was partly teasing her, but he truly had started to respect her unwavering will and morals. He would definitely try to win her heart.

"Now that this is sorted, we need to do some extensive planning. By the way, we need to exchange our true names and talent information…" Astor said, getting his composure back quickly.

"Gabriel, as you've heard, Mazet and Astor are due to get married one day before the start of hidden beta. Though, they have surely not fallen in love, this is probably purely a political marriage. I think the old Ancestors in both families had been discussing these matters for a while now" Alaric spoke.

He and Gabriel were currently in South America at Gabriel's personal abode

"Mmmmm" Gabriel mumbled some words that even I, the narrator, could not interpret.

"Yes, I agree, our relationship is purely business and friendship at the moment, though we have a very unique connection don't we?" Alaric spoke once again.

Gabriel replied with the same quiet mumbling that seemingly only Alaric could interpret.

"Then there is the matter of exchanging true names, and talent information. We need to know this information to coordinate our roles in the guild." Alaric brought the topic to the table swiftly, no one could tell his emotions from behind his charismatic eyes.

Gabriel sat there, as still as a statue. As she stared at Alaric, she seemed to be able to see through that mask that he wears daily and look at his inner emotions.

Gabriel had one green eye and an eyepatch on. Not even Alaric could pry out the information on the eyepatch. She was not wearing one when they were in the testing room but she was wearing one now. Something about the eye behind the eyepatch made Alaric weary.

After the awkward silence she started mumbling once again, once she finished Alaric was trembling in astonishment.

Currently Shaun was walking off the escalator, obviously a lot more well dressed than he was 9 days ago. Behind him were 3 people, two men and one woman.

One of the men looked like a Greek God, his muscles looked like they were carefully chiselled by a sculpture whilst his face was manly to say the least, he had many grey hairs but all they did was make him look wiser.

The man and woman were expressionless, they looked exactly the same, apart from the length of hair and body shapes they could be called identical. They followed behind Shaun exactly three steps behind, acting like his personal bodyguards

Shaun on the other hand was very sad.

He had travelled across America to his target's designated locations but he was bluntly rejected at the doorstep, he was treated like a doorstep salesperson!

Though he did manage to lure amazing people into his web!

He had managed to meet this old man whilst he was admiring the Washington monument. His name was Andreas.

After Shaun had gotten into a conversation with him and understood his profession he was shocked.

This man, given the right tools, could do the impossible with his hands. He had met Robert on numerous occasions too.

They both went on the same type of self discovery journey and were in touch or a while but that died out.

At this point Shaun knew this man would love a chance at joining Limitless if he was anything like Robert.

So Shaun started the routine he had been practicing.

"Do you want to put your skills to use?"

"You do? Sign here?"

"Limitless is a world of infinite possibilities!"

"Yes yes, you can make everything you want to and more, of course only if you have the resources!"

"What, you don't know how to get them? Join me and you'll have an infinite amount!"

Andreas was a big softie behind all those layers of muscle and after little persuasion, he decided to join the band wagon.

Shaun bought him the same series of tickets Dan bought for him and they headed to Europe.

=====

Once they arrived in Europe they tried to recruit plenty of people but to no avail.

They were about to leave Italy when two identical twins, one male and one female, came up to them. The male was holding the female in his arms, whilst the female had a leg riddled with holes!

They probaly came up to them for protection when they saw the hunky Andreas.

Shaun agreed to help them out of his good will but he did not know how to go about it.

They rushed the two to the hospital whilst watching there backs in case of the shooters coming at them.

How would Shaun and Andreas react if they knew that the attackers were scared away buy Andreas' height and and muscles?

They stayed in the hospital for 2 days waiting for the girl to recover. Andreas insisted on staying and waiting for the girl to recover because he was worried about her.

'Tsk, such a big softie' Shaun thought.

Due to modern medicine, she had recovered to the point where she could walk with a slight limp, Shaun took this as a chance to leave the hospital, but not without any gains.

What?

He had stayed here for 2 days waiting for this girl to recover and wasted all his time away.

He had to leave today for America.

So Shaun started his doorstep salesman routine in front of the duo who agreed as soo as he said,

"I would like to employ you-"

"We'll do it!" They said in unison.

They went on to explain that they needed to repay back the things they've done for them.

Shaun didn't ask questions and just agreed!
