Chapter 3 - Chapter 3: Seven deadly sins (2)

"The seven deadly sins"

For a moment the atmosphere turned cold as he said that and I also widened my eyes in surprise, I never thought that 'X' who always did everything alone would propose to work with someone else

The rest also had the same reaction as me as they had their jaws dropped

I was the first to break the silence as I raised my hand and asked with narrowed eyes "What exactly is the goal of this group?"

Hearing this everyone paid attention to 'X' as 'X' laughed and said "Good question, the goal for my group is to simply--"

"--Eradicate all aristocrats"

As he said this words everyone's face were filled with horror as they couldn't believe what they heard

One of us was furious and exclaimed "Are you bloody insane? Although most of the aristocrats are not good there are still some out there who are kind hearted, aristocrats are just similar to human, some are good and some are evil"

'X' just grinned as he said "So what exactly are you trying to say?"

The person who was a woman with brown hair gritted her teeth as she said "I refuse this invitation"

'X' let out an amused tone before he grabbed a gun underneath the table and shot the woman!

Everyone stared at him with horror as the woman died on the table without even knowing it

Seeing this I frowned as I thought 'I knew it, so this is a trap'

'X' crossed his feet as he said "Those who are not willing to join will die since they cannot leave here alive with the information they have, understand"

Everyone felt cold on their backs and I stared at 'X', looking at his eyes I knew what he said was true, he is serious about this goal

'X' then said "In this group everyone will be payed 50,000 dollar each month and can do whatever they want as long as it does not affect the seven deadly sins understand?"

He then clicked his tongue as he said in an aggrieved tone "Though unfortunately we lost one we could still replace her"

I felt a chill run down my spin as I heard his last sentence, but even amidst this situation I still felt nothing and even actually agreed to his goal

If there is no such aristocrats then everyone would be fair in this world, right?

After some moments I finally raised my hand as I spoke and said "I would like to join"

As I said this a smile appeared on 'X' face and he clapped his hands as he said "Good, anyone else?"

After I said that I would join everyone looked at me as if they were looking at a freak but still they pondered about the pros and cons and decided to join aswell

After everyone agreed to 'X' flicked his finger and a butler arrived carrying a brown suitcase

Everyone was eagerly staring at it and just as we thought as 'X' opened it what was revealed was a whole cash of money

'X' saw the greed on everyone's face and couldn't help smirking as he said "Starting today, in the next month everyone will receive their payment after they finished each task that will be given by me, but first let's sign a contract"

As he said this a paper was handed over to each and everyone one of us and I looked and read it carefully before I took a deep breath and signed it

Moments later everyone else also signed the contract and handed it over to 'X'

'X' was satisfied and nodded as he said "Good, then I'll be giving the first mission"

"Right now?" A middle-aged man asked as he exclaimed in surprise

'X' nodded and said "Yes, is there any problem?" seeing his gaze the middle-aged man shut his mouth and said shook his head as he sat down

"Alright, for the first mission everyone will have to be working together for this one, and that is--"

"--Robbing the bank of the aristocrats"

Flicking his finger the butler handed over a blue print as 'X' spread it on the table, pointing his finger at the center of the bank in the drawing he said "This is where the money are all hidden in the bank" pointing at the gate he said "There will be two guards waiting at the gate while two on the inside, each has a gun and a sword so do not be careless when fighting"

Everyone listened carefully to him and looked at the blue print and I held my chin as I thought about it on how to raid it

'X' then asked "But the problem is we need an inside person who can act as a new employee for the bank, but we need someone professional here who can count money and speak with aristocrats by their language"

I know this might be a bait but still I raised my hand and said "I'll do it"
