Chapter 953: Murderous Intentions

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

There were not many people in the Mission Hall . Although Phantom was the most powerful organization controlled by the royal family, its total headcount had never been very high as this was an organization of specialized elites .

The people who were coming and going wore fierce expressions on their faces . Upon spotting Merlin and Belle, they merely cast them a casual, uncaring glance . Nevertheless, some recognized Belle . After all, regardless of the Combat Team, the Intelligence Team or any other team, they had to go to Logistics to claim their reward or redeem their contribution points .

Upon arriving at the Mission Hall, Merlin glanced around, and immediately sauntered up to a middle-aged man who was buried deep in some kind of writing .

“I'd like to accept a mission . ”

Merlin inquired calmly .

“There are many missions . Choose it yourself . ”

The man replied without raising his head .

“Is there any mission relating to the Python Army or the Python Army leader Orsato?”

Merlin glanced at the ma.s.sive pile of missions but he did not bother to search . Instead, he asked in a deep voice .

“The Python Army? Of course, there are . They're one of the rebel armies, which is the most frequent type of missions issued by the royal family . The Python Army is considered relatively powerful . Their leader, Orsato, has achieved peak fourth-form s.h.i.+fter and is very close to becoming an almighty full-s.h.i.+fter . If you can destroy the Python Army and disband it, you'll receive five hundred contribution points . However, if you only manage to kill Orsato, then you'll only receive three hundred contribution points . ”

“Three hundred contribution points?”

Merlin considered it carefully . In the Logistics Team, he only secured ten contribution points each month . Typically, ten contribution points would enable him to redeem one batch of materials for the Hermani Nourishment Pond formula .

Whereas killing Orsato would earn him three hundred contribution points . It appeared that the royal family was considerably concerned about the rebel armies, especially someone like Orsato, who was a fourth-form s.h.i.+fter and could develop into a full-s.h.i.+fter at any time . The royal family must be extremely wary of him, thus, the number of contribution points awarded was very generous .

“Very well . I accept the Python Army mission!”

“Huh? You alone? Which team are you from?”

At this moment, the middle-aged man finally lifted his head, revealing a high forehead and a slightly reddened nose . He looked quite comical .

“Logistics Team, Leon!”

Merlin replied coolly .

“Logistics Team? Interesting . A Logistics Team member is accepting a mission to annihilate a powerful rebel army…”

The funny-looking man gazed at Merlin with an intrigued expression .

“Why? Can't someone from the Logistics Team accept a mission?”

Merlin countered .

In Phantom, any team could accept a mission . Even the research fanatics in the Research Team could accept a mission if they wished .

However, everyone knew that Logistics was the most “privileged” team . There was almost no danger a.s.sociated with it . Many n.o.ble youths would join the Logistics Team as soon as they arrive in Phantom, just to collect gold . Since when have someone from the Logistics Team go on a mission?

However, this stereotype was about to be broken by Merlin .

“Of course not, the Logistics Team can also accept missions . Since you're so sure about this, I'll record it down . Once you kill Orsato or dismantle the Python Army, the contribution points will be awarded to you . ”

The funny-looking middle-aged man explained briefly .

“How would you know that I'm the one who completed the task, and not someone else?”

Merlin felt that there should be a recorder of some sort .

“Never doubt Phantom's intelligence abilities!”

The middle-aged man's expression grew stern . This startled Merlin but after some thoughts, he recalled that Phantom was able to collect such detailed information about Count Stanwin's death within a few days . Their intelligence gathering abilities were indeed impressive .

With that, Merlin nodded and left .

Truth was, the entire Mission Hall had already burst into a discussion . It was not because Merlin was exceptionally powerful or special, but merely the fact that someone from the Logistics Team had accepted a mission . This was a significant development in Phantom .

“Interesting . Leon from the Logistics Team should be watched closely . ”

In a corner of the Mission Hall, a middle-aged man cradling a liquor bottle . He looked drunk as he spoke softly . Beside him was a shadow-like person, who silently disappeared from the Mission Hall .

“Leon, are you really going to Cedar City to complete this mission?”

Walking behind Merlin, Belle quickly caught up and asked in astonishment . Not only was this the first time for someone from the Logistics Team to accept a mission but it was also a highly dangerous mission . Even the lunatics from the Investigation Team and the Combat Team would not dare to accept such a dangerous mission . The Python Army had many strong contenders . Once caught in their siege, the outcome would be devastating .

Not to mention, Orsato was a peak fourth-form s.h.i.+fter who was close to becoming a full-s.h.i.+fter . Most probably, other than a real full-s.h.i.+fter, no one would be able to defeat him . If Merlin were to go to Cedar City, it would be a death wis.h.!.+

Although she had not known Merlin for a long time, she still did not wish for Merlin to die a pointless death .

Merlin halted his steps . In a deep voice, he said, “Please help me inform team leader Lotus . Don't worry, I'll be careful . I won't act recklessly . ”

With that, Merlin did not pay any further attention to Belle and left Phantom Headquarters .

In the manor's laboratory, Merlin did not continue to brew the Nourishment Pond . He had joined Phantom Headquarters for three months, so he had thirty contribution points, but he did not exchange them for any Nourishment Pond materials .

Thirty contribution points could only redeem three sets of materials at most . For Merlin, three sets of materials were merely a drop in a bucket . They were of inconsequential value .

“Father, don't worry, Orsato won't be able to get away . ”

In Merlin's mind, he could still see Count Stanwin's well-built figure . Every time he appeared before Merlin, his expression was kind and affectionate .

However, now, Count Stanwin was dead . He was killed by Orsato, and according to intelligence reports, Count Stanwin's body was mutilated by Orsato and fed to the dogs .

“Rumble rumble . ”

Merlin was struggling to control his enormous Mind Power . The Illusory World threatened to leak out . At the same time, lightning and thunder flashed outside as if sensing something amiss .

In the end, Merlin managed to suppress the Illusory World . If he was discovered by the will of the Almighty Beast world at this time, he would be struck dead, and even his consciousness would completely dissipate . That meant that he would be irrevocably dead .

Currently, Merlin's Illusory World was recovering very slowly . It had only regained partial strength, so it was still incapable of defying the will of the Almighty Beast world .

Nevertheless, dealing with Orsato alone did not require mobilizing the Illusory World .

“It's time to leave!”

Merlin stood up . At this moment, his eyes were filled with a bone-chilling murderous glint .
