Chapter 15: Hidden Edge part 1

"So how does it feel to be back to your old self"

"It has been ages since I felt this good" replied Silent Shadow in a happy mode as he approached Tony and shakes his hand

"Let me introduce myself properly. I'm Brandan Elias, it's a pleasure meeting you" Tony replied while shaking his hand firmly "and I'm Tony'' this was a meeting between two that are going to take the world by a storm in the future.

He then left Brandan in his own world as he approached the corps of the boar king for looting it.

"Big brother who's that person" Suzy couldn't hold herself anymore and asked with curiosity, this made Tony pat her on the head "Have you heard of the Abyss battlefield" the question made her shake her head indicating that she doesn't know about it but Maya, on the other hand, appeared to know something or two.

"I heard from some classmates that it's the place where you could find anything because all the powerful organisations in the world have a dealing inside the abyss battlefield and only the strong survive there"

"Not bad for you to know this much" Tony praised her for the knowledge she knew "although it's not as simple as you said it the general idea is the same and him over there 10 years ago was known as a monster inside the abyss battlefield to the point of people calling him an absolute genius in a place were geniuses are like the sand in the sea"

"What about big brother are famous there"

"Well, I'm doing quite alright," said as he patted Suzy in the head, even though he said it casually from the way the other person acted when he knew Tony's identity speaks volumes of his fame.

When Tony saw the loot of the boar king he couldn't help but be amazed "as expectations of the first Special Elite monster to die this loot can make me the number one enemy of all the players if they know about it"

"We truly struck gold this time" Tony with his mental fortitude and was shocked by the loot, let alone the two sisters who when they saw the list of items stood in their place like a tree from the shock.

"Big sister do you see that we're rich" Suzy started jumping around from happiness "Suzy you're wrong all this belongs to brother Tony and not us" when Tony heard that he looked at Maya for a bit then said "are still treating me like an outsider?" His question embarrassed her a little bit as she lowered her head.

"If both of you really think I'm an outsider then I'll leave you alone" the moment he said that both Suzy and Maya shout Noo from the top of their lounge.

"Since I'm no outsider never say this again" after that he gave the [Whitewood staff] to Suzy while Maya got [Nature Blessings], he also gave them two boar king skin and tooth and 100 bronze while he kept the rest to himself.

After that, they turned back their attention to Brandan who was swinging his daggers around

"Since I haven't trained or improved in any way the last couple of years my body is not in a good shape. I truly was thinking like an idiot"

"Well because you abandoned everything about fighting and improving that's why you feel everything if off for you but although you didn't improve, your fighting sense is just dormant because you didn't engage in any fight or practice so why don't you use me as sparring partner because your only hope of going back to your top shape and regaining your fighting sense this game is your only hope"

Brandan's eyes lit up, his suggestion was a good solution before he shook his head "even if I regain my prime it still won't matter because I already lost everything" although he exited his depressed mode the pain he always felt won't just go away like that.

"Brandan why don't you bet on me"

"What are you implying?" Brandan didn't understand what was going through Tony's mind.

"It's simple my wish is to take the world by a storm and it's impossible to do it alone so I need helpers and companions that will be there for me whenever I need them and the requirements for them will be quite harsh since I want it to be just a small group and I wish that you take a role in it" it was the first time that Tony revealed his ambition to someone and it shocked Brandan who saw his fair share of the world greatly.

"What kind of a squad you want it to be"

"An assassin squad their number should be 20 at the beginning and in the future, it won't be more than a hundred and all the members must be all talented and most importantly is they must all have an adaptive aptitude with your experience you understand what I want right"

"So you're telling me that you want to create a bunch of monsters that are not only able to assassinate anyone in the game, but also gather information and take different types of missions" stopping there Brandan was looking at Tony with a surprised look because his ambition was truly great, but after thinking go a bit he shook his head "you invitation made me happy but I'm used to freedom so I have no thought of joining neither a guild nor a group"

"You don't seem truly understood what I meant" Tony interrupted him "it's not you working under me but for us to work together the goal of this group is not just helping me in need but each member is free to have his own road to walk. I will be providing resources, equipment, skills, and techniques in return I just want loyalty and commitment because conquering the world isn't for someone half-assed"

His words were wild and full of arrogance yet those words made Brandan's heart beat madly as he imagined the scene where they stood at the top of the world making thousands and thousands afraid of them just by their presence.

"What do you want the group to be named?" he asked Tony because at that moment he was truly interested in what he wanted to create.

"Since it'll be an assassin group that only appear when striking and taking down their enemies let's call it Hidden Edge"
