" The Hand recognized your ability and we want to cooperate with Baron Mordo or I should say the ' Mage '. You desire the secret magic tomes hidden inside the vault of Eden while we want their treasure and technology. Unlike other members, you aren't bound by the mortal rules."
Gorgon extended his hand to show his sincerity. There was no reason for Mordo to refuse this proposal he was looking for partners to raid the vault, but others weren't willing to take the risk since it was guarded by the most powerful entities in their world. So it was impossible to defeat them or bypass them without notifying them.
" I know about your organization, but I don't believe you can defeat original members of Avengers or upper echelons of Eden much less Arthur who can sense you from miles away. Do you think you can enter the vault without their consent?"
Mordo asked, questioning the validity of his information. There was no way that he would risk his life for something unknown. Especially, he knew Arthur's temper because he worked with him. Even if he didn't kill him, he would throw him to prison and lock him up like other criminals.
No one managed to escape the maximum security prisons of Eden. Moreover, he also heard that S.H.I.E.L.D's former prisons were managed by the cooperation with the USA and Eden, giving them access to an even larger number of prisons.
" Of course, we have planned for that. I can assure you that we can safely enter the area and take our things without any complications."
Gorgon smiles, handing a book to Mordo. The book wasn't looking special, but Mordo could tell it was a magic book that had unique magic due to its peculiar energy.
He opened the book and read through the contents with a serious look. His expression continued to change as he realized the value of this book because this book held a power that made Arthur pinnacle of the sorcery and magic. This book held the method of learning mana and controlling it and it even had the method of summoning a servant who was the thorn on their side.
" This! How did you get this?"
Mordo asked coldly, believing Hand had something to do with the recent rogue mages. There was no way that they would be able to traverse into different dimensions and obtain their sorcery and spells without problems.
Logically they must find a way to communicate with other dimensions and gain their trust.
" We have our helpers too. They call them the Einzbern family. They gave their magic method to invest in our project. You see they are fascinated with Arthur's ability to summon heroic spirits and free them from the control of the Hall of Heroes. They want to get that method in exchange for their full support."
Gorgon spoke calmly while looking at his eyes. At first, Mordo wanted to refuse, but he couldn't do that because he finally found a way to surpass his greatest rivals in sorcery. As long as he can obtain more methods to perfect his magecraft and sorcery, he could create his organization.
" Alright, who are the members of this co-op?"
Mordo finally gave in to his heart and decided to risks. The darkness formed inside his head was too great to bring him back.
" We have one master, our executives, you and this gentleman."
Gorgon handed a picture of a man with a cane. His long hair reached his shoulders and he had a peaceful look. However, there was something inside his calm eyes, the lunacy that covered itself with a mask of a Saint. This man was an extremely dangerous man who was a sociopath and psychopath. His heart was beyond salvation as his mind sank deep into the darkness.
" Who is he?"
The words escaped from his mouth.
" A man who devoted himself to his goddess. He will help us to escape from the eyes of Eden."
Gorgon smiled cruelly, thinking about their future. Hand would flourish after this mission and they would surely pay back the humiliation that they got from Arthur. Their journey to immortality would be one step closer to this.
