Chapter 150: The insider

I then approached the staff and gripped it, the staff like the other plotinum, expanded and wrapped around my body.

"Oi what the-" Perun tried to rush to me but was stopped by Damon

"Calm down, this is the process" Damon said

"I don't think there's any weapons out there in the world that would suffocate someone's body" Perun argued

The staff then turned into a small silver ring on my right hand's middle finger.

"The staff's original form is a ring?" Bora asked "All this dungeon was all for a ring?"

"No, that staff is now mine, I imprinted it, I no longer wield the power of that staff, this ring hold a different power, the ring of gluttony, I haven't come up with a name for it though"

"Is it the same material as your sword and your jacket?" Stella asked

"Of course, now we gotta put illusion magic to make the staff there as if it was never taken, so that when the students come, they'll get it and poof"

-I wish I can see their disappointed face- Ace sigh

I then used a mana crystal and inject illusion magic into it, it then projected itself as the staff.

"Solid illusions, and it'll stay as an illusion while we're gone. Even without the illusion here, Albert would figure out that it's me, and with these inscriptions, runes and other smaller artifact spread throughout the dungeon, they'll also figure out who made this dungeon and with my hint earlier, they'll also figure out who my teacher is"

"The ring of gluttony, cool" Zach applauded "You did close back the door back, right?"

"Yeah, we left all the other treasures in there, but we took your staff which is now my ring"

"Well you definitely have made yourself banned from all 10 kingdoms after your revelation earlier today" Zach chuckled

"Well not that it matters, my family business is run by my uncle, and I live in Neelofar anyway. If I want a vacation, I can just visit the other continents, there's no other missions I need to do in the meanwhile, right?"

"No, why?"

"Well it's almost time for the tournament in the vampire kingdom, I want the prince position"

"Well you do you, I have faith in you, I hope my staff or my ring in this case serve you well. What will you tell your parents now? I can already imagine how mad they are once it reached out to them that you are a part of us."

"I got it covered"

"Well I hope it goes well, because I'll need you for our goals, it's going to happen soon, and I'll need your help"

"I know"

-Soon, huh. I hope that day never comes- Diana commented

I then left the room, and out there, I saw Stella, Urie, Draven and Alice waiting for me.

"I assume everything went well with the boss?" Draven questioned

"Why are you all here?"

"I would like to apologize, I didn't know you were our boss' secret love child, I promise to tease you less from now on" Urie promised

"He hid it well" Draven commented "Can I also call you young master?"

"Don't"

"Can I call you little brother then?" Stella asked

"No"

"Zachary jr?" Alice teased "You have the same handsome features"

"Especially not that. Let's not get into this right now" I rubbed my forehead "I need to save my energy to talk with my parents"

*****

"What were you thinking?!" Mom scolded "You joined a terrorist organization?!

"Yeah, we knew you were secretive, but this is on a new level" Eliza nodded

"You guys got information fast"

"Well, the count gave me a call and hell I was surprised" Uncle John replied "You realize what the hell you're doing?"

My 2 cousins weren't allowed to come because of the language problems that may arise, so Olivia is taking care of them.

"Yeah, young man, you better come up with good excuses or else" Dad added "Becoming a dhampir or whatever was one thing, but this is taking it too far"

"And don't think you four can also get away with it" Mom pointed at my bonds "You were supposed to stop him from doing stupid things like this"

-Wow, parents are scary- Diana whimpered

-I know, man they look mad-

"Better answer us good, Perseus" Luke said "Or better yet, what's stopping you from leaving?"

"Well I'm trying to take them down from the inside. I know, I know, but let me explain. Their organization is powerful, my boss alone is strong enough to rival the whole continent, no one on this continent is powerful enough to stop them, the most effective way to stop them is the only way to stop them, destroy them from the inside. Gain their trust and stab them in the back in their moment of weakness"

"Then why didn't you tell us? Why not ask for help?" Eliza asked

"I have no choice, they do background checks on everyone, so asking someone else to be a spy is bound to put their life in danger. They recruited me, and now I made my way up to number 13, I hold certain authority over a portion of the organization, the only one who I can ask for help was Jake, he's the only one who can. And besides, the lesser people know the better, if I go down in history as one of the worst person ever born, then so be it, at least I live my life knowing that I did the right thing.

"I am willing to place my life on the line to do this, receive hate, becoming the world's enemy, I'll shoulder all the burden. Now that I got their trust, it shouldn't take any longer than 5 more years to attempt my assassination, that's why I become a dhampir, I need power if I'm going to do this. I know it's something only an adult would do, but I can't wait till someone step up, it has to be now before it's too late, they're getting stronger by the day, and I have to stop them before they can achieve their plans, just let me do this, let me help the world rid of its problems. I'm so close and I can't step away now, not when the world needs help, I don't want to be a hero, I just want to help, so just keep this a secret and let me do my job, even if I might die in the process"

-That is the most protagonist-like speech I've ever heard from you- Dabria applauded

"I'm falling in love with you again" Cordelia said with tears in her eyes

"I think...I'm in love..." Eliza mumbled and then read the mood "Sorry bad timing"
