Roan looked at Mike. He saw the guy was in a really terrible state. His face had many blue marks and under both his eyes swelled blue. There were many places where his clothes had pieces missing from.
Roan looked at the guard and asked, "Did you beat him?"
Guard shook his head, "Nope sir, When I reached his home he was already in this condition."
Aria said from the side, "stupid you should take him to the hospital first."
"Nah, no need. Help sir to sit on the sofa." Roan pointed to the sofa in front of him. Both guards nodded their heads and helped Mike to sit there.
Roan looked at Mike's face as he saw him in a half-conscious state. He turned to Aria. "give me a glass of water."
Aria nodded her head and rushed to get some water. Roan looked at the guard. "So what's his story? Tell me what you find about him."
Both guards looked at him in confusion.
Roan kept staring at Mike and said, "I know a little about how you guys work. So do share with me what you know about him." Roan looked up and started into both their eyes, one after another.
They gulped down. All of Roan's guards had a deep fear of Roan. The guild trained all the guards to gather information and then used that information to act properly to serve the client and supply proper information back to the guild.
But everything about their current master was in chaos. In just a few days, there were many instances in which Roan do entirely do something out of their prediction. Their training to understand their master and act was unsuitable for a master like Roan. For them, Roan was a nightmare. A nightmare that gave them a false impression and then crushed it badly.
For them, it was like having a revolver on their head all the time.
One guard said, "Sir, we did a little background digging, but not much."
Roan said with a smile, "I hope you share it with me."
Guard nodded his head and said, "Sir, Mr. Mike here is a drug dealer. He is the only child-"
"Wait, Stop this story and answer a few of my questions."
Guard nodded his head.
"First tell me about what he does other than sell drugs and one more thing is he taking drugs," Roan asked, pointing to Mark.
"No sir, Mike, do not take drugs, only sell them."
The second guard said, "He plays Liberty and is also part of a local music band."
"Okay, what is his permanent address?"
"We do not know about his permanent address, but we know he does not live with his family."
"Good, that's all I need to know?" Roan looked up. "I am planning to make him part of my team, so you must not cause any problem for him."
Both guards nodded their heads. Roan slumped on the sofa and started going through the contract.
"Here water sir." Aria came running with one glass of water in her hand.
Roan took the glass from her hand and threw water at Mike's face. "Wakii Waiki." He started lightly slapping his face.
"Uhhhh" Mike woke after some time.
Roan saw him looking around, saying nothing. "Hello, I am Roan."
Mike looked at him and said, "James."
Roan smiled and said, "Nice to meet you, Mike."
Mike stared at him and nodded his head. "What you want from me. I do not have anything with me at present."
Roan shook his head. "I want nothing, but I want to give an offer to you."
Mike looked at him and asked with a suspicious look on his face, "What offer?"
"You play Liberty right?"
Mike nodded his head in hesitation.
Roan smiled. "Good, I want you to work for me in the game. We can discuss your salary and all other benefits."
'Damn, I sounded like a rich villain.' Roan thought to himself.
"Why? Why do you want to take me on your team?"
"Well, I heard from them," Roan pointed to the guards and said, "that you like you play music."
Mike nodded his head. "I play music. But what do you want me to do in the game? I am not an outstanding game player and barely level up to pass the beginner village."
"I want you to sing music for me."
"Music?"
"It's quite boring to fight the monster." Roan placed one hand on Mike's shoulder and looked at the ceiling and said, "Imagine I am fighting an enormous dragon. It will just be a boring long fight, but then you came in." Roan pointed to Mike.
"Me?" Mike had confusion all over his face.
"Yes, you. My teammate. You will stand away from the fight and scream my name in your music. Fight and rock music in the background that will be so epic."
Mike and Aria both stared at Roan. Roan clicked his tongue and gave the contract to Mike.
"Here, you need to sign this contract and I will change your life."
Mike took the contract and mumbled, "Why does it sound like a marriage proposal?"
"It is along that line," Roan said in a low voice.
Mike started reading the contract and threw it away, the contract on the ground. "Fck, it's a slave contract. I need your permission for everything before doing anything. I cannot go against you. What the hell are these? There are tons of weird conditions on it."
Roan casually said, "Don't worry about those conditions. Those are only there in case you try to betray me in the future. I promise I am a good teammate that you never want to betray."
"I don't even know you properly, and you want me to sign that slave contract?" Mike moved away from Roan.
"Silly me," Roan slapped his forehead. He looked at Mike. "Sorry for the half introduction, Mike. Let me tell you everything about myself. Hellooo," Roan did an exaggerated, animated girl greeting.
"My name is Roan. It's spelled as R. O. A. N. I am a Human male. I have… 1..2." Roan started counting his limbs. "I have 4 limbs. 2 Arms and 2 legs. I have 1..2….16 fingers. 8 on hand and 8 on-"
"Wait", Mike shouted.
Roan made a confused face. "What happens?"
"Do not waste time. Tell me important information."
"Oh," Roan nodded his head, "Mike, sorry for that. Here is the important information. I am male. Why? you ask. Haha, because I have a sword between my legs."
"Shut up!" Mike shouted.
