"I'm sorry," Kassandra pointed at Fein, "Kill him!"
'Why are you saying sorry to me when you just commanded your minions to kill me?' Fein couldn't help but complain in his heart.
"Your too stubborn... would you believe if I said that I can kill the three of you in just a second?" Fein smiled.
Kassandra suddenly felt a bad omen at his words.
Suddenly, a bright crimson light flashed, which blinded Kassandra and her two subordinates. She felt the temperature in the area increase. She had to cover her entire body with degu energy in order to resist the heat from burning her body.
'What a terrifying temperature!' Kassandra tried her best to maintain the degu energy in her body. 'If I'm not strong enough to resist this, I would have already burned to death. Thinking of this, she suddenly remembered something.
'How about Carlos and Jack!?'
Kassandra felt anxious for her two subordinates. Suddenly, she felt her connection with the purple shadows disappear. But how is that even possible? It's impossible for it to happen unless he wiped out her purple shadow army!
The crimson light disappeared as fast as it appeared when Kassandra opened her eyes. She only saw a flaming sword in the hands of Fein.
"H-how is that possible!?" Kassandra spat out blood. She looked paler than a ghost. She experience a terrifying backlash after Fein destroyed her army.
What she saw almost made her scalp numb! purple mists flooded the air. And she knew what this means...
Kassandra turned her head at Fein with horror. "How did you do that!? What kind of power do you have?"
Carlos and Jack passed out from suffocation as the heat of Fein's attack suffocated them. The high temperature charred their skin, and it dehydrated them. Kassandra fared better because she's an A rank, and she timely protected herself with her degu energy.
Now she realized that they are absolutely fucked. No one can save escape in the hands of a powerful person that could wipe out her purple shadow army in a second.
She does not doubt that Fein is the one who attacked. First, because his sword has burning traces that left scorching marks on the ground. And Kassandra knew that it was also the reason why the temperature suddenly increase earlier, which suffocated her two subordinates. Second, he's the only one here with them. And lastly, she felt the spike of degu energy, which was the same level as her.
"You won't believe me, so I decided to show it." Fein shrugged helplessly. "As I said, I have no reason to lie to you when I can kill you in the blink of an eye."
"Really?" Kassandra's looked at him with suspicion because she can't feel even an ounce of killing intent on the guy.
She's not afraid to die, but the kingdom and her people still need her. Without her, the Wen kingdom would act unscrupulous, and she didn't want this to happen. She still wants to avoid her comrades that died in this battle.
Kassandra bowed her head this time. "I apologized for my offense just now."
Fein smiled at him behave. "I won't blame you this time. I know how complicated the situation is between the kingdoms. If it was me, I would do the same thing if I were in your place."
Fein began to act as a considerate guy, so the chances of her agreeing with her proposal would increase.
"Thank you for your mercy." Kassandra had a complicated expression on her face. As an experienced commander, she knew that the guy in front of her has some kind of motive, but she doesn't know what he wants.
'I hope he doesn't demand something excessive.' Kassandra felt inexplicably nervous.
"Of course. I hope you can agree to my proposal." Fein smiled.
'Just I thought...' Although Kassandra had already expected it, she still felt a relief when he said it.
After all, she would not believe him if he didn't really want anything. She was willing to believe him if Fein states some condition.
Fein placed his sword on the scabbard in his waist and eyed Kassandra. "I hope you join my organization in the future."
Kassandra's eyes widened in surprise as she heard his request. She thought that he would request something more excessive, such as her body. But she didn't expect that Fein would ask her to join an organization.
"I'm sorry, but I can't join an Official Organization. Our kingdom won't allow it." Kassandra looked at Fein alertly, afraid that he would suddenly kill them.
"Don't rush to refuse. This isn't an Official Organization but a discreet one that I would create in the future," Fein said.
"Oh... If that's the case, I can consider your proposal." Kassandra looked at him thoughtfully.
Fein smiled with satisfaction after he saw that his coaxing was a success. "Rest assured, you would lead a squad as you would be among the first members. And I won't be stingy at that time. I would give a satisfactory reward if the members work harder." He smirked.
"What type of organization would it be?" Kassandra couldn't help but become curious. For her, Fein is a mysterious and powerful person.
Fein shifted his gaze to the sky as he started to think deeply...
"Honestly, it's more like a guild. I would post tasks that the member can voluntarily participate in from time to time, and the members could trade information or equipment with each other. It's more of a way for me to gather resources."
'Hmmm... it's not that bad.' Kassandra's tense shoulders finally relaxed.
She could also benefit if she joined the organization. With Fein's powerful strength, she didn't doubt that the organization would become a big thing in the future. And it's also a chance for her to establish a close working relationship with such a powerhouse. It would be a good thing for their kingdom to befriend Fein.
"I hope to pleasantly work with you in the future then." Kassandra smiled sincerely this time and offered him a handshake.
Fein gladly shook it back, then he stared at Kassandra for a few seconds.
