Chapter 271: The Rogue Crew. (2/2)
No one would be happy with such circumstances.
The group of people behind Ozul all felt an eerie feeling looking at the dead stares of these men who willingly handed their own leashes in some other's hands.
However, Ozul wanted exactly something like this. He raised his eyebrows at Haley and said, ”You did a good job.”
Being praised made Haley smile ear to ear, but she tried her best not to lose her composure.
'With them, things will be a lot easier,' Ozul mused in his mind. The day had finally come when he could have people do most of his work!
As he turned back around to face these people, he noticed that they were still not properly dressed.
”Get them proper clothes later,” he ordered to which Haley nodded her head. They were all waiting to see what Ozul would say to this group of people as he hadn't previously explained to them the reason he wanted to create such a division in the organization.
Much to their disappointment, Ozul turned around again and said, ”All of you can leave.”
However, it was obvious that this 'all of you' didn't include Raven and Blaze as both of them stood unmoving on their spots. Meanwhile, Haley and Irvin quietly left.
”Aw! Can't I just stay for a while?” Unlike them, Oliver wanted to give it a shot. He was really curious as to why Ozul had created this division and allocated them so many resources.
”...”
”Alright...”
Being the target of Ozul's vacant gazing, Oliver couldn't win the staring competition and decisively chose to take his leave as well.
The compound turned silent after a few moments as Ozul confirmed that no one was spying over them.
He suddenly shifted towards the group of men and a couple of women mixed within turned tense noticing his strange behavior. They had willingly handed over their lives to this person, so they were extremely nervous as to what kind of person he was.
”I am Ozul... and as you already know, you will be following my orders from now on,” Ozul first introduced his name with a casual tone.
The people before him didn't express any emotions listening to his words. They only wanted to know what their real job was.
From what they understood by the organization's work, they expected to do infiltration, or maybe even assassination in secret? He could have very well created their division as the main force of the organization as well.
”You will do any and all kinds of things under me. If you have any questions, keep them brief. I have a nap waiting for me,” Ozul spoke impatiently.
For a while, no one dared to ask anything. No one knew what was included in this 'any and all kinds of things', so some of them had a bad premonition.
Many of this group consisted of old-looking people and only a small group looked to be around middle-aged.
After a few moments, a relatively younger looking man with small brown hair and saggy eyes stepped ahead.
Just a single stare was enough for Ozul to know that he was one of those Middle Stage ones in the group. He faced this brown-haired man and asked, ”What is your name?”
”Huh?... I am Tatsuo.” Though surprised, Tatsuo immediately answered the question.
”What is your question?” Ozul asked with bored expressions on his face. He really wanted to go and take a nap right now.
Even though Tatsuo realized Ozul's impatience, he still questioned with an unwavering tone, ”What does 'any and all kinds of things' mean?”
”Hm?” Ozul looked at him as if it was the stupidest question he had ever heard. But he still answered Tatsuo, ”You will be following me all the time. If I tell you to call over anyone, you will do so. If I ask you to take things from one place or another, you will obey. It depends on the situation really.”
He said all of that so casually that one might have even thought that he was only joking with the group.
However, Raven and Blaze couldn't conceal their astonishment as well. And just as they had expected, the Rogue Crew also showed various degrees of facial expressions as all of them had a single thought in their mind, 'You created a group of 35 Rank-8 Mages to do such miscellaneous tasks for you!?'
