The Berserk Mansion…

"Huh? You brought another warrior to join the team?" Inside his office, Rex was surprised as his girlfriend entered with an unknown lady.

"Yes Rex, how many times do I have to repeat it?" Cassandra sighed as she palmed her face while secretly making eye signals for Rex to cooperate.

Rex was not having it though. "I thought we already decided…"

Cassandra smiled and cut him off. "Rex, meet Swift Spear".

"Swift Spear, meet Rex, the Gang leader of the Berserk Gang".

At this moment, Swift Spear was not wearing her mask nor her assassin gear, she tensed up instantly as soon as the Snake Empress divulged her identity.

Cassandra was sharp enough to notice it as she smiled and turned to look at her. "Relax, Rex is a friend".

This petite lady had a cold look on her face as she looked at the Snake Empress. "I never expected the Snake Empress whom I admired to have friends".

"What's wrong with having friends?" Cassandra asked with a smile.

"We are assassins, we don't make friends". She replied coldly.

"…" Rex paused as cold sweat trickled down his face. 'Which demon has Cassandra brought to my home this time?'

"Haha". Cassandra laughed it off. "You know, staying tense all the time is not beneficial to your assassination instincts. Through years of experience, I know that having a friend who you can confide in can help in relaxation".

"Relaxation sharpens your instinct when you're out on the field, and judging by your talent and experience, you should have noticed it already".

"A 0.0001% lapse in your concentration can determine life or death in our field, that's why having a friend is beneficial".

If it was any other mystic warrior who said this, this petite lady would have coldly refuted him and if she was stronger than him, she may have killed him already but when it came to the Snake Empress, she was lenient.

As the warrior who was said to have found the location of the evolution pool, and the forerunner for all female assassins of the Sad Flutes Assassins, Swift Spear had a crazy amount of respect for her.

If it was her words, she found it mandatory to at least dwell on it.

Amid her thoughts, Rex's eyes suddenly widened as he looked towards Cassandra in shock and whispered. "Is she that Swift Spear?"

"Yeah". Cassandra nodded nonchalantly.

Rex's eyes widened like saucers. "The one who assassinated the governor of an official small shelter and has a massive bounty reward?"

"Yeah".

"Ahh…" Rex's outlook of this petite lady experienced a 360-degree turn.

Looks were indeed deceiving at times. Looking at her small petite form, she looked just like a weak chef who would run from the kitchen in horror at the mere sight of a rat, Rex never expected her to be the notorious Swift Spear.

He realized. 'I'm really involved with the Sad Flutes Assassins now'.

Amid Rex's thoughts, Swift Spear suddenly raised her head as she looked straight at the Snake Empress. "Are you saying that having friends can make me become a better assassin?"

"If you put it that way, then yes".

"Thank you". She expressed her gratitude seriously. "I will definitely put this tip to good use, I will definitely make a friend". Her tone was dead serious.

"…"

"…"

"….."

Rex looked at Cassandra and coughed.

Cassandra smiled. "Ok, it's good you definitely make a friend".

With that, Cassandra was able to lower the defense of this notorious assassin and successfully recruited her into Rex's adventure team.

With the final piece of the puzzle complete, Rex finally called for the other members of his team to convene in the strategy room.

On arriving, Elanor and Ben had surprised expressions on their faces as they curiously looked at the newcomer who stood with them.

With her short dark haircut, narrowed eyes, and petite body, she looked like the perfect embodiment of a devil caged in the body of a vulnerable child.

Ben chuckled. "Rex, who's the new chick here…?"

He barely finished before he felt a pair of predatory eyes staring him down, Ben paused as cold sweat filled his back all of a sudden. 'The f*ck!' He cursed in his mind as he stole a glance at Rex.

Cassandra smiled and touched Swift Spear's hand. "Easy, he's a friend".

Her eyes widened. "A friend?" She said nothing else as her face turned cold again, the atmosphere in the room turned chilly till Rex intervened.

"Haha, no need to stay so tense towards each other". He clapped. "Ben, Elanor, this is Swift Spear, the newest member of our team".

Elanor's eyes narrowed in realization and wariness. "That Swift Spear?"

"Yes, that Swift Spear".

Ben had no idea what Swift Spear they were talking about but he was able to read the mood, he kept his mouth shut and just watched the proceedings.

The newcomer was definitely making things hard for Rex but he continued, he laughed. "As you can see, we're finding it a bit hard to get along".

"And like we all know, the Great Dungeon Forest is the most dangerous, unpredictable, and mystical of all the 3 Great Forests. To survive our adventure there, we need to be at our optimum best".

"We can't be at our best if we don't get along".

"To survive, we need to understand ourselves well and be able to cooperate appropriately when faced with outside threat".

"That is why I proposed that we first have a short tour around the Great Ape Forest, it's nothing really, just a tour to familiarize with each other".

"At this point, we don't even know our mystic abilities and best skills, how are we supposed to cooperate appropriately?"

"I reveal my mystic abilities to no one!" Swift Spear declared coldly.

"…"

Rex laughed it out awkwardly. "No worries, I won't demand for it".

"I'm just saying we need to know each other, more right? Don't you agree?""

"No".

"Haha". Rex turned to look at the others.

Ben and Elanor kept quiet, only Cassandra answered. "Yes".

Rex clapped. "That does it then, we'll be leaving for the Great Ape Forest in an hour, get prepared".
