The next time the six people woke up, they could tell that something had changed.
The previous loyalty that they felt for the company had disappeared, replaced with pure loyalty towards the man in front of them.
They were dazed at the sudden change in them, but also accepting of this.
Their new master must have done something to them, but not only did they not feel any resentment towards him for doing it, they were perfectly happy being under his command.
It was both strange and disconcerting, but the strangest thing was that they all got used to it quickly.
Their minds were perfectly fine with this change. If thought about logically, one would realize that it was definitely better to be under the sole command of one man rather than at the mercy of the company which would ruthlessly exploit them due to how they weren't able to refuse orders.
Alec looked at them with a complicated feeling. He hid the feeling deep in his heart. He could deal with those later on when he had finished dealing with the organization.
\"Introduce yourselves to me.\"
\"Yes, master!\"
Rhoda stepped forward, taking the leading position. \"Master, my name is Rhoda Gacy. These are my subordinates, David, Kiel, Nancy, Julius and Julia. We're all in the advanced stage.\"
Alec inclined his head slightly. \"Tell me more about the company.\"
Rhoda hesitated, wondering if their master knew about the existence of the brand, and how she should tell him of its existence if he didn't know.
Alec said to reassure them, \"I've removed the brand that stops you from talking about the company, and you won't feel its negative side effects anymore. Rest assured; I will never hurt you unless I'm training with you.\"
The six people saluted him. \"Thank you, master!\"
They looked elated and happy, as if they were more than pleased to be able to help him in any way.
Inwardly, they were pleased that their master was such a powerful and wise person, that he already knew of the seal before they said anything to him.
For some reason, Alec felt as if he'd gained six more subordinates that were like Dominique.
\"Going by the order of the company, we have both external and internal members. External members aren't fitted with the seal that ensures our loyalty, while internal members are required to have it. However, external members have a different system compared to the internal members.\"
Rhoda paused before she continued. She felt sad that she couldn't provide more information that her master needed in order to take down the company.
At least, that's what she assumed that he wanted to do, if he was asking about how the company was run.
\"We aren't sure about how the external members are governed since most internal members aren't allowed to have contact with external members to preserve secrecy. Only the higherups are allowed to contact them directly. Everything goes through to our superiors.\"
Alec nodded. That was as much as Sekai had told him. However, the Main Character was even less informed than these people here.
It was clear that even in the internal member list, there were those that had different clearances.
Sekai was one of those that had been closely monitored and put under their direct control. Likely because he was both a Sin and a transmigrator.
They couldn't be ensured that Sekai was completely loyal to the company because of this, which was why he was so tightly monitored using his partner.
Rhoda continued to talk for the team, telling her new master about everything he needed and wanted to know in detail.
Finally, Alec nodded, satisfied.
\"Does the company have any other way to track you down? Will they know if you've defected?\"
At this, Rhoda hesitated. It was clear that she didn't know how to reply this.
Kiel stepped forward, explaining for Rhoda. \"We are unsure because no one has ever defected from the company before. The presence of the seal ensures that we cannot stray far from our objective. However, it isn't monitored and isn't checked unless the operative doesn't check in for a certain amount of time.\"
\"And what is the amount of time given before someone checks on you?\" Alec asked.
Rhoda took over again. \"It varies from a week to two weeks.\"
Alec raised a brow. How inefficient. Then again, he supposed that they had so many operatives that they couldn't be bothered to keep track of every one of them. Especially not if they were equipped with the brands that made sure they couldn't defect without going mad.
Alec started to instruct them about what to do. \"Take my familiars with you.\" Alec pointed at Bunbun and Fenrir, who bounded forward towards them as they chose a person of their liking to cling onto.
\"Fake a battle in this forest before faking your deaths so that they think you're no longer alive. I'll leave you a copy of the seals that you can use on another body.\"
Alec handed six seals to Rhoda, who accepted it with slightly shaky hands.
\"After you've done that, come look for me. My familiars will guide you to me.\"
The six operatives saluted him. \"Yes, master!\"
Having said that, the six disappeared as they went about carrying out their tasks.
After they were gone, Elysia dropped down from the place she'd been observing everything.
She hugged Alec, whom she noticed was still a little uncomfortable. To be honest, to her, she didn't understand his dilemma, but that didn't mean that she'd make fun of him for it.
Everyone handled things in different ways.
For her, something like this didn't seem much to her. Maybe because she knew just how miserable it could get under something as shady as the organization that they were part of.
The people who joined had been brainwashed, sure, but they also didn't have a long life expectancy, and they were replaceable pawns at best.
Alec was the type of person that was strict to the people under him, but he was just as strict on himself.
He also never crossed the bottom line, and he didn't like how the sect had been treating the Spectres, so he changed it.
That was the type of person that Alec was.
Her heart ached a little when she saw Alec like this.
She squeezed him as if squeezing him hard enough could lessen his pain.
Alec seemed to sense something from Elysia, and he pressed a kiss onto her forehead, smiling faintly. \"I'm fine. I just want this all to end quicker.\"
A cold light flashed in his eyes. He would not be merciful to those that dared to do something like this in their world today.
As quickly as the light entered his eyes, they disappeared. He didn't want to show his ruthless side to Elysia in case she thought differently of him.
Elysia just smiled and pulled him down, pressing kisses to his lips.
Alec's eyes softened, and he indulged both her and himself, affectionately carrying her up.
He pressed his face against her neck, lightly biting her whilst still continuing to run with her in his arms.
She let out a startled laugh, pressing kisses to the top of his head.
A small smile curled on Alec's face, and he felt a lot more settled now.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
