“Gray fur, what’s the holdup? Why aren’t the semi-demigods from the circle not acting? What are they waiting for? Don’t tell me they are not here?” Flower thief complained. In this team of five, besides him, the other three did not dare to question Gray fur as such, not even the hothead Sniper.

Compared to the codename flower thief’s attitude weak’s ago, this was- different. Knowing his origin card’s worth to the organization and Matron herself, the flower thief had gotten used to a unique special threat that was not available to anyone in the organization. Codename flower thief was a degenerate so it did not take him long to get comfortable with his second identity as a codename flower thief of the paw clan. This was the main reason behind Matron’s unique recruitment process.

“They have already arrived and are hiding from the array formation covering the southern region, in case the southern emperor is watching,” Gray fur answered.

“Aren’t they here to fight, what’s the point of hiding?” Flower thief asked.

“They are in hiding because they need a legitimate reason to explain their arrival in the southern region without prior permission from authorities,” Gray fur replied patiently. The idea that a new recruit was being given more privilege than him, did sicken Mike but he did this babysitting job without any complaints because it paid him extra merits.

“I know that, wasn’t a semi-demigod hiding in the boy’s shadow reason enough?” what the Flower thief said was true. The semi-demigods from the circle were supposed to use the fact that Agatha was hiding in the boy’s shadow while he wreaked havoc in their branch as a reason to justify their arrival at the southern region without prior reason but the Circle seems to not be following the script for some reason.

“Yes, they were supposed to do that but I too don’t know what they are planning,” Gray fur to did not know what the Circle was up to. The plan was the semi-demigods from the Circle would keep the three semi-demigods guarding the boy and Mike would use this opportunity to kill the boy. This plan had been agreed upon by both the Circle and their organization but just in case Mike failed or hesitated considering the consequence of killing the boy then they planned to make use of the flower thief’s origin card to lend a hand. But the semi-demigods from the circle did not show any sign of acting as agreed so far.

“Then are we going to continue and wait for them to act or will you contact them to learn what’s the holdup?” Though it seemed like the Flower thief seemed to be asking Gray fur but the other three teammates begged to differ. Seeing that even the cunning Gray fur was tolerating the newbie they did not dare to voice their thoughts. Not that they were afraid of offending codename flower thief, they were afraid of losing the extra merits they got for babysitting the newbie.

“The circle doesn’t know we are here. Though Matron did offer to help will giving them information, the circle rejected it. So we have no choice but to continue to wait and watch how this play’s out,” Gray fur said without revealing much about what he had discussed with the Matron before returning to the south to finish their unfinished job.

“Fuck,” codename Flower thief cussed knowing that this mission might more time than they believed it would. And then added, “Can’t the Matron talk to them? To ask them for an update or something?”

Hearing the Flower thief’s words the rest of his team looked at him with grim expressions, for them what the Flower thief just spoke was equal to taboo. Had it been somebody else they would have beaten the shit out of him for spouting such blasphemy. They were here to do Matron’s bidding for her not the other way around. Thankfully the newbie spoke these words to them and did not act on them.

“Flower Thief, don’t let the special treatment get to your head. Remember, we are here to serve Matron, not work but serve. I think you know what the difference is and don’t need me to explain it to you,” Gray fur said reminding Flower thief that despite their freedom, they were Matron’s slaves, not employees who held the privilege to quit if they wanted to unlike them whose memories would be whipped clean and replaced with new ones at any sign of rebellion.

“I know that already and have accepted it. That is the reason why I think that Matron would not mind helping us serve her better,” The Flower thief argued.

Gray fur gave the fower thief a hard look wondering if the newbie was being serious and then ordered, “We continue to wait and observe.”

Hearing Gray fur’s decision the other three sighed in relief seeing that Gray fur did not follow the flower thief’s bullshit. There was a reason why Matron created this organization and that was to have them do her bidding without getting her involved in it. To keep her hands clean by having totally unrelated strangers do the crime that results in her benefit. This way even if she were to be investigated with nothing to connect her with the crime or the criminal it would appear as if she was just lucky, a series of coincidences just happened to work in her favor. And right now, what Flower thief was asking them to do was totally against the very idea this organization was built on.

“If you guys are going to be such pussy about it, I will call her. Since Matron took the risk to contact the Circle to give them the information, I don’t think she would mind asking them for an update. But it will be a different story if the boy were to live to see another sunrise.”
