Cursed Immortality-Novel

Dark City, Alchemy Guild 132nd Floor,

Otto was sitting in a closed room, and this room was completely soundproof and unassessable to anyone beside him because it was a private room of Senior Grandmaster Rank.

Otto didn't have his previous friendly demeanor as he was completely emotionless with a cold look in his eyes. At this moment, he opened his Star Watch UI and found a peculiar contact before he sent a call request.

A tuneful, emotionless voice sounded, "You have 10 seconds!"

Otto didn't waste any time and uttered after putting on his best respectful face, "I want to report the appearance of a Senior Grandmaster Gunsmith below the age of 30, and he's also from the common plains to boot!"

"Star ID?" The woman's voice remained completely emotionless, without any hint of interest or dissatisfaction.

But Otto's eyes glow instantly because the other party is asking for the ID, which means they are hooked.

So, he didn't beat around the bush and revealed, "Faceless Ancient!"

"1,500 ZC will be transferred to your account shortly."

Without uttering any further word, the woman disconnected the call as if Otto was nothing but a worthless swine and didn't worth any extra second of her time.

However, Otto wasn't fazed by such treatment since he knew just talking to him for over ten seconds was already that woman's generosity. On the contrary, his eyes were shimmering in elation when he heard '1,500 ZC.'

He had no doubt that the payment will delay or that woman won't deliver.

So, while waiting for his payment, he opened his Star ID and made a caller request without hesitation.

But his respectful demeanor had instantly changed into an arrogant one. He was changing his demeanor like drinking water, and this kind of skill clearly can't be learned just from some books.

This call was also connected, and an annoying voice rang, "Skull No. A-2, you better not be disturbing me for more resourcing again. As I said before, I already have my hands full with those dead bastards and these hateful ants!"

Otto snorted and said with a somewhat teasing voice, "Boss 0, what do you take me for? I know Society is going through some tough times, and it all happened when you finally managed to pull the impossible. What a shame, sigh…"

"Skull No. A-2, if you call me to spit on my face, then I don't mind requesting the higher-ups for your 'help' here, and then we can try this conversation again face to face." No. A-0's voice was filled with killing intent as he 'suggested.'

Otto snickered silently but didn't dare to taunt him anymore and said with a friendly tone, "Boss 0, you and I are old friends. Is there a need to be so distant from your old friend? Since I call you, I naturally call you to give you good news, and you might be able to quench the higher-ups' anger after the trial incident. Who knows, you might even redeem yourself completely from the cannibal plan incident as well."

No. A-0 fell silent for three seconds before he said, "I know you, Skull No. A-2, better than anyone. Bark, what do you want? As long as you really have what you claimed to have, I won't mind throwing you a golden bone!"

Otto didn't mind being called dog indirectly as his wily smile covered more than half of his face, "Oh, you will give me more than a golden bone, Boss 0 when you hear the name of my good news."

"Now, I'm really interested. Bark away." No. A-0 sneered without any hint of interest at all, as if he didn't have any high expectations at all.

Otto slyly chuckled, "I'm glad. The good news name is 'Faceless Ancient!'"

"What did you say?!" No. A-0 yelled in disbelief.

Otto snickered, "See? You're truly interested. So, heard my price first, and it is not negotiable. I want to be promoted to No. A-1 and 1000 ZC!"

"Motherfucker! Why not go and rob the fucking zodiac bank! Do you think I'm so desperate to find that prick? Besides, since you suddenly brought him up, then I'm sure he's in the dark city. How's that for being an idiotic dog?" No. A-0 finally dropped the act and started to curse.

pαпdα`noνɐ1`сoМ However, there wasn't a sliver of anger on Otto's calm face, as if he was listening to calm winds.

After No. A-0 was done cursing. He spoke again with the same calm yet arrogant tone, "Of course, I expect nothing less from Boss 0. But if you search for him in Dark City, it's like searching in a haystack for a needle.

"However, if you complete my little requests, I will not only give you accurate information about him, I can even assassinate him in a heartbeat. I'm 'that' close to him. But I would naturally charge extra for an assassination fee since I'm putting my neck on the line here."

Otto smiled slyly, "So, what do you think, Boss 0? Although you know my location, you don't know my accurate position, and I know I'm not obliged to tell you at all.

"Of course, with your 'intelligence,' you can easily use the authorities to force me to reveal my position, but then I will also come in contact with 'them' and have to tell them about my valuable information. If that happened, you and I both know they will…"

A-0's voice, with the mixture of grounding his teeth, rang, obstructing Otto's praises, "Alright, bastard, I get it. Just tell me where that prick is, and we have a deal!"

Otto's smile widened, "Boss 0, you know I have utter respect for you and your straight character, but I'm a little insecure by nature, so…"

"Skull No. A-2, do you think I'm a pushover?" No. A-0's voice was now icy cold, filled with killing intent.

"How dare I? You're our valiant leader, and I have nothing but deep respect and absolute loyalty toward the society." Otto innocently uttered, "That's why I'm giving you credit for detaining one of the most wanted targets of Rare Plains in returned for your sincerity!"

No. A-0 gnashed his teeth so hard their eerier voice could be heard as if he was on the verge of losing it.

In resignation, he cursed, "Alright, you motherfucker!"
