“That’s all of them” Sniper reported.
“Good, now that all of you are here. Let’s begin the briefing.” Grey Fur nodded his head in satisfaction looking at all other 29 Card emperors waiting for him to debrief them.
This is what Grey Fur likes about this organization, with his status out in the real world none of these 29 card emperors would bother to become acquainted with him much less organize under his command and wait patiently for his debriefing. Combined with the other perks like being able to do anything he wants and get paid in what he desires.
“First up, there is good news for team 3 which failed to undertake the secondary mission. Madam Web is generously willing to forgo your punishment if you guys are able to complete the primary mission, which is to kill this boy by any means. But this also means you will not be getting any rewards as Madame Web’s pardon is already your reward ” Grey Fur spoke projecting the life-size 3D hologram of the target, Dalton Wyatt.
“Wait, hold on. What do you mean by completing the primary mission? I thought all of us were going to take part in the mission. ” The leader of team 3 voiced his concern.
“We are, Your team will be spearheading the mission. While the rest of us will be lying in wait in ambush for them.” Grey Fur calmly explained
“Aren’t you just sending us to our deaths?” One of the members of team 3 exclaimed
“You guys were the ones who insisted on doing the extra credit secondary mission but failed to complete it. Consider yourself lucky if not for the sensitivity of this mission… well you know, I do not have to tell you.
And also If you do not want to do this no one is forcing you, but Madame Web will be disappointed.” Grey Fur offered team 3 an opportunity to back off the mission.
“No need, we follow the instructions.” The leader of 3rd team agreed as he knew they had messed up with the secondary mission, it was already generous of Madame Web to allow them to redeem themselves.
“Failure of Secondary mission was not our fault, they were clearly tipped off.” 3rd Team member was not willing to back down as the failure of the secondary mission was not the team’s fault. The target escaped even before team 3 reached the rendezvous point.
“Boy, watch what you are barking? Do you know what you are implying?” Sniper reprimanded the team 3’s member. Claiming that someone tipped off about the mission is equal to saying there is a traitor among them which is equal to doubting Madame Web’s ability and control over their little club.
“Don’t try to spin my words. Team 1, you people were the ones to compromise the mission in the first place. Maybe they noticed your presence and escaped, who knows. But one thing is certain that your team compromised the mission, why aren’t you being punished! Clearly, you fookers are using us as scapegoats. If you had not revealed your presence during the recon secondary mission would not be a failure.” The team 3 member blamed Team 1 for the failure of the second mission. But the points he made were valid, why weren’t team 1 being punished for their blunder?
“Yes, we are using you as a scapegoat, you got a problem with that” Sniper answered provocatively. As he could no longer tolerate being blamed for compromising the mission.
“You…” if not for his team leader holding him back the 3rd team member almost jumped on the sniper.
“Does everyone in team 3 have the same opinion?” Grey Fur asked with a frown. Grey Fur was not dull, he already guessed that team 3 member was just a puppet and was playing as his leader directed him to.
“No, But is it just our team being punished?” The Team Leader of team 3 stopped hiding behind his team members now that they set a stage for him to build on.
“I think you are forgetting something, team 3 is not being punished, you have been given a chance to redeem yourselves in front of madame Web.
And who said that Team 1 will not be punished? Each team has been assigned its part. Now let me ask you once again, are you up to this or not?” Grey Fur pointed out the key points of the situation, breaking the claims Team 3 leader stood on.
Team 3 was not satisfied with the role assigned to their team. Leading the primary mission was already full of dangers and unknown variables. Now that the mission has been compromised and the southern emperor is on alert waiting for their ambush the danger level of this mission directly went from DEFCON 3 to DEFCON 1. This mission no longer seems like a mission to redeem themselves but a suicide mission.
Since the Southern Emperor is already expecting them than the first team to lead the ambush will face the complete burnt of whatever the southern emperor has stored in for them. The worst thing was that team 3 knew their part in the mission was not to lead it but to act as a decoy while the rest of them located the target and finished the mission as the Southern emperor and Raining Alchemist were busy dealing with them.
“Fine, we will do it. It’s not like we have a choice, right?” Though these Card Emperors had willingly participated in the Madame Web’s Club activities out of their greed, they are not willing to go to their deaths no matter how much dirt Madame Web has on them because living on the run is better than sleeping for eternity in a coffin. But right now being surrounded by 25 card Emperors who could rip them to pieces, the leader of team 3 and its members had no choice but to act as a decoy.
