Chapter 1716 You, kid, I like you.
“This Black Mission, would I become a Star Mercenary if I complete it?”
Nux suddenly questioned, interrupting Arshia mid-sentence.
Arshia froze. For a moment, she thought Nux was joking, however, when she saw him staring at her with a serious look on his face, she realized he was not.
“Nux, forget about this. Blac-‘
“Please tell me.”
“I will not! You can’t put your life in danger like that!
Black Missions, especially this one, are nothing but suicide!
Do you not understand!?
No mercenary, no matter how good their track record was, returned alive. Every single one of them was dead!
There is a reason why so many Mercenary Halls abandoned this Mission despite risking angering a VIP customer!
You cannot do i-‘
“Judging by how you are reacting, it is possible, isn’t it?”
“Wha-?”
“I can become a Star Mercenary if I complete this Mission, correct?”
“You can! You can become more than just a Star Mercenary, but it wouldn’t do you any good if you end up dead before achieving that!
Why don’t you let me find an easy Special Mission for you? Complete it, then complete ninety-nine mor- no, screw that, eighty! Complete eighty missions, and I will somehow make you a Star Mercenary. How does that sound?”
Seeing how desperately the woman was trying to convince him, Nux could tell that she wouldn’t change her mind so easily. In the end, he had to change his approach.
“Let’s do this.”
He called out.
“Let me just see what the Mission is. If I think I cannot complete it, I will not do it. How about that?” “…Nux, there is a reason why so many people died in that mission. It is not something you can complete even if you have an entire army supporting you!”
“Please let me be the judge of that.
Trust me, I have no intention of dying.
There are people I cannot possibly leave behind!
Nux smiled.
Seeing his stubbornness, Arshia turned silent.
“Please help me, Arshia.”
Nux spoke, and in the end, Arshia just lowered her head.
“I can’t show you the mission.
Nux frowned.
“If you wish to see the Mission, you need to go to the Upper Floor. Only they have the authority over missions like that. I will put in a word for you, so be ready to meet them in an hour.”
Arshia spoke, then looked at Nux with determined eyes and,
“And make sure to reject the mission once you realize that it cannot be completed!
Don’t do something foolish because of a short-term benefit”
Hearing those words, Nux chuckled.
“I will not.”
He assured.
“Then go sit over there, I will put in a request!”
“I knew I could rely on you”
Nux smiled, but this time, Arshia just snorted,
“Talk to me when you reject the mission!”
Nux chuckled again. Then he and Riona walked towards the seat Arshia pointed at.
“She is a strange one. I can’t believe she is the same woman who sent me away the last time I met her. I wonder how she would react if she remembers that!
Nux turned towards Riona since he didn’t hear a reply, and seeing the look on her face, he smiled wryly.
“Riona, we cannot kill her.”
“Don’t worry, no one will know it is us. I’ll get Thyra to do it!
Riona spoke as she showed her palm.
There was a hair on it.
Nux frowned; soon, however, he connected the dots, and his eyes widened in surprise.
“Is tha-‘
“Yeah, it’s hers.
Considering her level, a hair should be more than enough!
However, before Riona could store the hair away, it disappeared.
She frowned and turned towards Nux.
“Don’t do something foolish.”
“Do you like her?” Riona’s frown deepened.
“She is useful.
If you haven’t noticed it already, then let me tell you, she is more than what she lets on!”
“And that is why I don’t like her.’
Riona snorted.
Nux chuckled as he then pulled the woman close to him.
Riona wrapped her arms around his arm and stopped thinking about it.
An hour later, Nux and Riona were sitting inside an office. In front of them sat a being-a giant with the head of a lion. Just one look was enough for one to realize that this being was strong. Of course,
the aura he was releasing said the same thing.
Even Nux was on alert as he faced this being,
After all, this man was a Primordial.
And it wasn’t just him. Nux could sense many other Primordials on this floor, some hidden, some out in the open, sitting inside other offices.
“I heard you wanted to attempt the Black Mission!”
The man in front of him spoke in a hoarse voice. He was wearing clothes that resembled a suit. As strange as Nux felt that a lion’s head was popped out of a suit, he had seen enough of strangeness to
not react to it.
“Yes.
Nux nodded.
He could sense that this man was trying to intimidate him, not that it was working. Yes, this man was strong, Nux doubted if he could defeat him even in a fair one-on-one battle, but… compared to Aeliana, whose aura he was pretty much used to now, someone like him didn’t matter.
Not to mention there was also that monster. There weren’t many presences that could intimidate
him after he met him.
“What makes you think you can complete that mission when so many failed?”
“How am I supposed to answer that when I haven’t even seen the details of the mission yet? It is not
even decided if I am going to select this mission or not!
“You don’t seem very confident.”
“There is a difference between confidence and arrogance.
Arrogance won’t help me survive!”
“You think confidence will?’
“If I am confident about something, I wouldn’t need to hope for survival, because I know I will!”
Nux replied, and hearing those words, the lion head smiled widely,
“You, kid, I like you.”
Then he placed his finger on the table and,
“However, I still cannot let you take the Mission!”
