Flashy shared his assignment to Pablo and the Duke he had to kill was the same Duke whose son Pablo had killed in the first test.
Draxus knew that as well. Pablo had told him about it himself.
"Jack Kaiser is bothering the Military, huh. Well, Flashy, you really have to kill him." Pablo said.
"You suddenly became serious about this. Why is that?" Flashy asked.
"It was me who killed his son. He was the same big guy who can make his hands turn in weapons." Pablo revealed.
"Of course. You killed the children of a Noble so killing the son of a Duke is also understandable." Flashy didn’t overreact. He accepted Pablo’s nature.
Pablo shrugged. "It was a Battle Royale. I had to kill him."
"Yeah. So now tell me how I should deal with this Duke?"
"He has a ten year old son as well, right?"
"Yes. But don’t tell me to keep him hostage and threaten the Duke. That will not seem like an accident."
"No. You can’t keep him as a hostage as well. You are too soft for that."
"That’s not true. I am always hard." Flashy said and Pablo was forced to ignore it. He had no intention to talk about Flashy’s hardness.
"Try to become the Duke’s friend. Make him trust you. And when you see a chance, kill him. And to make something look like an accident, you have to kill more than one person. At least, ten people should die." Pablo gave some pointers.
"And how do I do that exactly?"
"Think for yourself. I can’t give you an entire plan. It will be all you."
"Yeah. I guess. I am so fcuked. What if I met my dad along the way? I am sure he knows his children have died by now." Flashy held his hairs and Pablo stood up.
The bundle of papers Sera gave it to him were inside his bracelet along with the Black card.
"Let’s leave. We will meet after three months."
Pablo walked towards the door.
Draxus also stood up and Flashy did the same.
Pablo gave one last look to the room and came out.
Draxus and Flashy followed him and now they all were outside.
"What if someone finished their mission in less than three months?" Flashy asked a logical question.
"Then they get to chill till the three months are finished. The military will meet us again only after three months. That’s for sure." Pablo answered.
All three walked towards the exit of the military camp and after a few minutes, they were outside the camp.
"I have to go left."
"I have to go right."
Flashy and Draxus shared their routes.
"Mine is forward." Pablo did the same.
"So we are going separate ways." Draxus said.
Pablo nodded. "Seems like it."
"Well, good luck, Czar. Don’t die out there."
"You too. Don’t let the Demon arrive here."
"Haha. Sure thing."
"And you, Flashy, make sure you kill the Duke. I don’t want any problems."
"Yeah. Sure."
"And don’t die as well. Because the Duke doesn’t need to make your death an accident. He will kill you without any reservation."
"Thanks for the motivation, Boss."
Pablo chuckled.
"Alright. I will take my leave." Draxus said and started walking.
"Me too." Flashy also started walking.
On Pablo’s right, Draxus was walking away and on the left, it was Flashy.
"Well, I should get going too."
Pablo stepped forward and continued his walk.
All three went opposite ways for the sake of their own missions. And Pablo just hoped they prevail as the winners.
"I don’t understand one thing." Cupid was always behind Pablo.
’What?’ Pablo would talk to her for a while.
"You predicted there will be a feast and you also said Friends would become meaningless for everyone. How did you know all that?"
’It was rather simple. The three tests had been done, so the military would give us some rest and feed us. They wanted the candidates to think that the military isn’t all that bad. And I figured that the Military focuses on completing a task effectively. So they don’t focus on friendships and they don’t want their soldiers to focus on friendship as well. That’s how I thought friends mean nothing here.
First the military forced candidates to make friends and after that they assigned assignments and that rule in the last page. So now I am sure everyone is afraid of their friends.’
"Makes sense. How do you know such things?"
’Experience.’
"Right. Good luck. I can’t wait to write some good things about you during this mission."
’Don’t be too optimistic, Angel. In the process of freeing a village from a pandemic, a whole city can burn.’
"You are just too negative."
Cupid stopped talking and Pablo wasn’t a talkative person anyway.
’Should I go straight towards the Forsaken Village? I can’t even tell anyone that I am from the military. I have to make a plan. But first, I need some things.’
Pablo looked around and found what he was looking for.
He walked towards that and entered.
It was a shop.
"Welcome, sir-who the hell are you? Do you even have money?" The shopkeeper welcomed Pablo.
Pablo’s clothes were stained with blood and he was not in his best condition as well. It was no wonder the shopkeeper talked like that with him.
But Pablo had a way to make the shopkeeper show respect to him. He recently got something precious.
"I don’t know about money, but I have…" Pablo showed a thing to the shopkeeper. "This."
The shopkeeper laid his eyes on it and they turned wide.
"A Black card? Forgive my rudeness, my lord. I am just a humble servant of yours." The shopkeeper changed his behavior right away.

Pablo sighed. "Just give me some light and some expensive clothes for a long journey."
"Right away." The shopkeeper went deep inside the shop and after fifteen minutes, he came back with a large number of clothes.
Pablo gave them a look and nodded.
"Store them inside this bracelet." Pablo gave the bracelet of his left hand to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper obliged and stored all the clothes inside the bracelet.
"Leave one out. I will change." Pablo said.
The shopkeeper obliged again and leaving one pair of clothes out, he gave the bracelet back to Pablo.
"Close the door of the shop." Pablo gave another order.
The shopkeeper did it and now the shop was closed.
Pablo then removed his white clothes and wore the new clothes.
He gave his old clothes to the shopkeeper.
"Show me the machine for the payment."
"Here, my lord."
’The same as Earth.’
The design of the machine was the same and Pablo swiped the Black card on it.
BEEP!
"It’s done, my lord. Thank you for your business."
Pablo nodded and the shopkeeper opened the door of the shop for him.
Like that, Pablo did some shopping and left the shop. He didn’t even bother to check the price of the clothes. He had enough money.
He stored the Black card on his right bracelet and walked a little more.
A few moments later, he saw a carriage and stopped it.
"Where to, good sir?"
Pablo sat inside the carriage.
"To the Forsaken village, near Glory city."
"Oho. Surely." The driver was surprised and he started running. Pablo finally began his journey.
But a few kilometers behind Pablo’s carriage, another carriage was standing and inside it someone was sitting.
And when Pablo’s carriage moved, that someone said :
"Follow that carriage."
