"Lucas, I understand you may have reservations about our previous encounters. Let me assure you that the actions of Caster and his associates were not sanctioned by the Black Colour Gang. Their misguided actions have led to unfortunate consequences."
I remained silent, scrutinizing Jonathan's every word. The tension in the room was palpable, and I was prepared for any attempts to manipulate or coerce me.
After all, like Caster, Jonathan at the end of the day is an evil bastard.
It doesn't matter who is less evil and who is not evil at all.
From the way Jonathan speaking to me right now I am sure he wants to use me, No, that's not his real goal
He wants to use Sunless Guild's influence! If I joined his gang and became a member I know for sure that he would put me in possession that I have to use Sunless Guild power to get out of it.
There are many guilds out there in the world but they won't even try to make connections with Gangs or any illegal organizations.
The reason? Because of the world Government' of course.
If the world government find out any guild is doing any illegal activities or has any connection to any villain organizations or groups, they have to very big price for that...
The first thing that will happen is that the Guild will be disbanded, it doesn't matter if it's a [SSS] rank guild or not. Second the person who was doing anything illegal will stay in prison until death and third, they have to pay 100 Billion C as a fine.
Even after this has been punishment some guilds are doing this kind of activity behind the scenes But I knew better than to entangle myself in such affairs. Joining the Black Colour Gang was out of the question, not just due to the moral implications, but the risk it posed to Sunless Guild's reputation and my freedom.
Jonathan, unaware of my internal deliberations, continued, "Lucas, we are aware of your prowess and the unique abilities you possess. The Black Colour Gang values strength and resourcefulness. Join us, and you'll find a place where your skills are not only respected but rewarded."
His offer hung in the air, a tempting proposition laden with potential power and wealth. However, my principles held firm against the lure of a criminal alliance.
"I appreciate the offer, Jonathan, but I cannot align myself with a gang that operates outside the boundaries of law and ethics. I responded, my tone unwavering.
Jonathan's expression shifted, a fleeting moment of disappointment overshadowed by a sly grin. "Lucas, my friend, sometimes the world requires a different perspective. The lines between right and wrong blur, and power becomes the ultimate currency."
He is right in this world if you are strong others will fear you, they respect you, they worship you.
Like Yato, the strongest out there in the world, he is so powerful that even the 'World Government' could not do anything against him.
"Good. The gang I'm talking about is the 'Red-Wolf gang.' They are planning something big, and you could use this information to your advantage. Just remember our deal," I cautioned, ensuring the terms were crystal clear.
Jonathan nodded, his interest piqued. "Red-Wolf gang, I know that gang, it's the most powerful gang here, Excellent. We have a deal, Lucas. Provide the information, and you'll find the Black Colour Gang to be a valuable ally."
"The information is I don't have me right now, it's inside my PC. I will email you when I get back home.
"That's fine," Jonathan said to me and the discussion right there.
The arrangement set, I left the dimly lit room, the door closing behind me, sealing the pact in shadows. As I exited the headquarters of the Black Colour Gang, the city's night embraced me with its enigmatic allure.
As I was on my way back home I thought about how I came to know about the Red Wolf gang.
I stole this information from my dad's laptop. The day I returned from Nova Academy I remember that they had to go stop some criminal activities that were happening in the City.
After that, I searched for who are these people and I came to know all of these people belonged to the Red Wolf gang.
Then the next day when I visited the Sunless guild I found my dad's laptop open and out of curiosity I took a pick and found there was a file open with the title 'Red-wolf'.
After reading the title the next thing I did was copy everything on my pen drive and later that night save all of that data on my room PC.
I had thought I would deal with them so they don't cause trouble for Mom and Dad but I don't have to do anything at all.
I will give that data to the Black colour gang and they will handle everything themselves.
'I'm really a genius, aren't I? With that thought I increased my walking speed and in a few hours, I was home.
Once back at my place, I wasted no time. I accessed my secure terminal and prepared to compile the detailed dossier on the Red Wolf gang. The city's underworld held its secrets, and I had delved deep into its intricacies during my time at Nova Academy.
As I meticulously gathered information, I couldn't shake the gravity of the situation. The Red Wolf gang operated with a level of sophistication that set them apart from others. Their plans, alliances, and potential threats were laid bare in the digital realm.
After compiling the data, I encrypted the file, ensuring its safety from prying eyes. With a sense of purpose, I drafted an email to Jonathan, attaching the encrypted dossier. The subject line read: "For Your Eyes Only."
The message contained a brief overview of the contents and a reminder of our agreement to keep Sunless Guild and its affiliates out of harm's way. With a click of the "send" button, I initiated a chain of events that would alter the delicate balance of power in the city.
