God of Crime: Strongest Mafia Boss

Once Mark finished the light summary regarding the objectives and contents of their mission while sharing the orders they were assigned, he continued in a deeper tone,

"I am your handler but I am not the leader of this mission. After this, I will discuss with The Magician so we can plan our next course of action. I will also share the data and information all of you gave with him which should paint a better picture for him in this situation.

If you are uncomfortable with this or refuse to participate you can abstain right now. But since you heard the details of the mission you will be under confinement until the success or failure of the mission. Any questions?"

"I am good. I believe in Darling."

Elysia clasped her hands together, a bright smile shining on her face, "I have already had the honor of discussing and fighting alongside The Magician before. I believe in his skills."

The only one left was now Luvia who couldn't help but hiccup when all the attention was now trained on her. She didn't have much to hide. It wasn't as if her powers were particularly noteworthy in the first place, at least in this team of monsters.

She fought to keep a composed appearance and stop her voice from breaking and showing the anxiety she felt to everyone around her. She never thought that her first true mission would be robbing the Dark Lovre. She was starting to wonder if she should simply abstain from the mission. After all, it was important for one to know the limits of their capabilities.

"I..."

She opened her mouth wide, only to trail off. She hesitated, battling with herself for a short while, before simply opting to sigh. Her family was in a dire situation and they could not rely forever on the Principal's generosity. At the very least, Luvia did not think she was shameless enough to keep leeching off on her master.

"I am okay with the arrangements."

Mark nodded his head toward her. He could see that this girl would definitely become a problem in this mission. He didn't care about her circumstances. Not because he was heartless but because this mission wasn't a joke.

"Miss Luvia. We are not forcing you to participate in this mission. This will more or less be your first official mission. So I will be honest, even if it may seem unjust to you, if I notice for even a second that you will prove to be a liability, I will bench you out. The particular mission we are taking is very dangerous and the magic user who was supposed to come with us originally has been replaced by you."

He knew very well that this was not normal. Clearly, Luvia's family had, for whatever reason, pulled strings to make Luvia participate in this particular mission for some reason.

Luvia's face shone crimson, embarrassment and dread shoving every inch of her heart and mind, however, her voice was the perfect example of conviction as she replied in a higher-

pitched tone, "I will do it!"

"Good. I believe this is all. We are moving in three hours. The first two hours will be used for you to familiarize yourselves with each other and the last hour for me to discuss with your leader about the finer details and battle plan. The mission will officially start tomorrow. For now, I will go prepare our support in France and activate a few sleeping agents."

Nodding to everyone one last time, he walked off from the room, leaving three young and ravishing women and one charming man in the room.

Adam had been relatively silent all this time. He had been more than happy to simply observe in silence and judge the situation for himself.

"So, I will be direct as well. We were interrupted earlier but should I take your statement as the Church wishing to become enemies with me, right?"

Even though Adam was speaking quietly, the air became perpetually heavy with that one sentence alone. He was still smiling and simply looked unthreatening but Elysia had a feeling that a blade even sharper than the scythe and the sword that had been trained on her throat a few moments ago had been trained on her at this very moment.

[Be careful. I have a feeling that I would not be able to save you if he decided to attack]

Elysia was not surprised in the least, she already knew that Adam was a very dangerous individual who continuously grew stronger after each strife he faced and overcame. She had no doubt that unless she fused with her angel, the current she stronger after each strife he faced and overcame. She had no doubt that unless she fused with her angel, the current she could not hold a candle with the overpowered Adam.

"You are misunderstanding something."

She placed her hands against her chest, folding them in prayer as she spoke to mitigate their misunderstanding, "The observation is nothing but my own desire. I apologize if I have made thing seems unpleasant."

"If any situation could be resolved with a simple apology, the world would be in peace don't you think so?"

"True." She dipped her head ever so slightly in a small bow before speaking, "I have accurate knowledge from a trusted source that otherworldly beings will attack during our stay in France. I do not know when, I do not know how, nor do I know where. But I believe I have no need to explain how dangerous it is for such beings to appear in this world."

Adam knew she was speaking about the events in the Park, "Why is everyone so sure something will happen and no one is acting to circumvent it?"

Elysia shook her head, "They are acting. The surface of the ocean may look calm but the undercurrents are fierce. All the forces are moving, intercepting, and hindering each other. They may act as if nothing is wrong but in Paris, there are already many dead among the low-level hunters who entered France with the same goal as us."
