~change of scene, in some bar in Orario~.

(30 minutes later)

"Hey idiots, XXX has proposed us a *job*... and it's not an easy one..." said an adventurer as he approached a table that was in the corner of the bar.

At the table there were 3 people seated, Bob (adventurer 2), William (adventurer 1), Jack (adventurer 3) and the one who had just spoken was none other than the leader of the group of adventurers also known as Brayan .

"hey boss, come sit down" said Jack raising his hand in greeting mode.

"y... What is this new *job* that XXX proposed us?" (for now the one who hired these adventurers will be a mystery... For now), asked William as soon as Brayan sat on the chair.

"...", Bob just remained silent with a serious face, but his eyes betrayed how excited he was.

And why wouldn't he be, the jobs XXX always offered them were hard to do, but the pay for them was huge.

With just one of his jobs they could easily support a family of three for a couple of years.

Too bad brayan and his group although they were very good at their *job*, when it came to money.... As soon as they finished their *job* and got the money from it, they spent it all on women and booze, and the next day they were broke.

What they gained from the missions XXX gave them didn't last more than a couple of weeks, what a waste.

But they didn't care, they were never the smartest or the strongest, but they were the best mercenaries on the dark side of Orario, they would do anything just for money, kill, kidnap, everything.

But they weren't total idiots either, they knew how much their *job* cost, and as soon as they got one they sought all, ALL information related to it.

Well, now that you know a little about Brayan and his group, let's get back to the conversation.

Brayan changed his relaxed expression to a serious one and began to speak....

"the *job* this time is kidnapping" he paused for a moment and looked at the faces of his companions, he could see that there was confusion in each of them, and Bob after some thought asked....

"that's it, I mean, most XXX jobs were some kind of crazy, at this point a kidnapping job is no big deal."

Jack and William couldn't help but nod unconsciously at what Bob said.

Even Brayan nodded, but kept talking about the *job*.

"the person XXX wants us to abduct is a 12-13 year old boy with black hair and red eyes.... But there is one small obstacle, the boy is currently at the Hera familia headquarters..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

There was an awkward silence between these four people.

"You haven't accepted, have you?" said Jack breaking the silence.

"...", Brayan just nodded his head at Jack's question.

There was another silence among the group, although they were experts in their *job*, they didn't need to think too much about the answer towards the job XXX had proposed to them this time....

No.

Who in their right mind would take a job about kidnapping someone who was in the headquarters of one of the two strongest families in Orario.

The answer.

No one.

Or so they thought, but their leader just told them that he had agreed to do this job.

Something that surprised them because their leader wasn't an idiot, that's why they thought he had denied the *job*.

"Are you guy crazy!!!" William almost shouted, he was upset, accepting a job of that caliber was like looking for death.

Everyone in the group had a vow that they were not allowed to betray the group or its members, but it was something between them, they never took vows for any *job*.

But...

one of the conditions XXX set for offering them *jobs* was to make a vow about fulfilling the *job* every time he gave them one, so they had to comply if they decided to accept it, and Brayan, as leader of the group, was the one who accepted the jobs, that's why William was angry.

When Jack, Bob and William were about to ask Brayan the reason why he accepted that job.....

"50,000,000 valis, that's the amount of money XXX offered us if we managed to kidnap the boy".

The heads of the three stopped working when they heard that figure, although they had said that XXX paid a lot of money for *jobs*, they had never received more than 2,000,000, and that was already a small fortune.

Hence the short circuit in their minds at that moment.

When Brayan saw them he could only think, "is that the same face I made when XXX told me?".

After a few moments of silence, Bob, Jack and William looked at each other for a second, then looked at Brayan and said at the same time....

"where do we start" x3

Brayan put on an evil grin and started to say his plan....
