Chapter 539 Blending In

Joining a new squad, completing a death-defying mission, earning an excessive compensation.

Masasuke Hazuki was all too familiar with this kind of work; he felt like a sea fish swimming up-stream in the dark and deep waters of the ocean. The pain wasn't from being lost at sea, but from having forever lost the chance to return to shore, and from having forgotten when this all started.

He watched as people entered the warehouse one by one, terms like 'modified humans', 'women', 'youths' were too generic to capture their distinctive traits. The only commonality they shared was the look of vigilance and seriousness on their faces, as if they had long known of the rough path ahead and were prepared to face the challenges head-on.

After exchanging names, Seeking Shadow, as the team leader, required them to use the warehouse as a base for 48 hours of preparation before finally setting off with full gear to execute the mission in Sato City.
