Chapter 122: Master
[Angel’s Perspective]
But now, I was disappointed in Donald. I had to reevaluate this matter.
The rain was muffled and the forest was silent.
When I arrived at the meeting venue, there was no one around.
My first reaction was that the other party was playing with me. I couldn’t help but feel annoyed. Did I have to be so unlucky in everything?
Then I calmed myself quickly.
No, he’s not like that, I thought.
He would not do such a boring and meaningless thing. Master seemed to have planned every step with precision. It was seamless and there were no omissions.
The Silver Moon Pack’s patrol was set up by me. After repeated adjustments, anyone who walked into the range of the forest would be discovered. Without Donald’s permission, it was not easy to meet me here.
Therefore, when Master chose the forest for our meeting venue, I was very suspicious of his identity.
Master initiated contact with me twice.
The first time was after I became the assault team’s commander. He somehow got my contact information and extended an olive branch to me. I had thrown myself at Donald and felt that this person who tried to poach me from him was simply crazy.
During that time, Master didn’t stop communicating with me. He shared many of his ideas and blueprints for the future with me. I had to say, some of them were very moving.
It was then that I realized that the rumors about him were true. He was an out-and-out genius with an extremely fertile and magnificent mind.
But everything he said was out of my reach. I didn’t think I needed to sacrifice everything I had for an illusory blueprint.
After I arrived at the Silver Moon Pack, Master disappeared for a while.
I thought that he had finally given up trying to rope me in, but I didn’t expect him to contact me again the day after I was dismissed by Donald and arrange to meet today.
Master knew my whereabouts so well that I had always wondered if he was in the Silver Moon Pack. The choice of the meeting place deepened my suspicions.
“Is anyone there?” I tried calling out.
But the only response was the patter of the rain. The rain was slowing down. It was about to stop.
Five more minutes. If Master didn’t show up, I would head back.
Just as I was about to give up waiting, I suddenly heard the rustling of something moving above my head. Thinking of the recent attacks in the forest, I immediately became vigilant. This person was really blind to dare to attack me.
I swept my gaze sharply above my head, but the movement was fleeting. Other than the sound of leaves, there was nothing.
“Sou—”
I heard something tearing through the air. I dodged to the other side at lightning speed and looked in the direction where the thing was flying. A figure flashed by. I gauged the distance in my heart and knew that I wouldn’t be able to catch up no matter what. I lowered my head to look at what the person had thrown to me.
I expected some kind of weapon, but it was just a small sealed bag.
Curious, I opened it. Inside was a letter and a few small bottles. Out of caution, I opened the letter first. There were two sheets of paper inside. One was filled with words. There was a map on the back.
I looked at the short one first. There were only a few lines:
[Dear Angel:
I’m aware of your current situation. Join me and work with me. I’ll give you what you want.
P.S. Hope these little bottles will help you.
Master]
It seemed that Master had no intention of meeting me. He had called me here only to make it easier for him to give me the items. The tone of his letter made it seem like he was certain I would choose to cooperate with him.
I snorted. I wasn’t very happy with Master’s sneaky behavior. His actions didn’t show any sincerity in working with me. I wasn’t his subordinate, and he might as well forget about ruling me.
I packed everything and walked slowly out of the forest, reading what was written on the long letter.
It was an introduction to the small bottles. It was very detailed. The different colored bottles contained different drugs. The time of use was clearly marked. Some side effects of the drugs were also written.
Some of these had common uses which were familiar to me, such as rendering people unconscious and incapacitating them. However, some of the other uses surprised me. They were simply unheard of.
If the drugs had been invented by Master, he was even more terrifying than I’d thought.
There was a marker on the map on the back of the letter. There was no name written on it. I guessed that was where Master wanted me to go.
I was actually hesitant about whether to join Master.
