"Twilight Rain… I should have known." Lux narrowed his eyes as Amir finished telling him everything he knew.

The Blonde Dwarf had already accepted his fate, so not only did he tell Lux why Colette was being targeted, he even told him the name of the individuals that were part of his organization who were stationed in Wisp Tree Town.

Amir thought that as long as he made Lux happy, the Half-Elf would no longer torture him and give him a quick death.

Lux closed his eyes to think for a few minutes so that he could digest all the information that the Blonde Dwarf had told him.

"Such a troublesome organization," Lux muttered after a few minutes of silence.

He knew that even with his current strength, it was still impossible for him to deal with Twilight Rain, who had remained hidden in the shadows of the Kingdom of Gweliven.

Even the Royal Family, who had Rankers and two Saints at their beck and call, were unable to fully uproot this organization and end their tyranny once and for all.

That just proved that this organization was not a pushover and that it would take more than a few tickling sessions in order to bring down all of their branch headquarters in the entirety of the Dwarven Kingdom.

"Kill me," Amir begged. "Please. Just kill me."

Lux stared at the Blonde Dwarf whose lips were still bleeding from the injuries he received. Now that he had gotten everything he needed from Amir, the most logical choice was to kill him so that his secret would remain a secret.

However, although Lux's hands were already dyed with blood, he found that killing the Assassin would be a waste, so he summoned his coffin.

"Come out, Sid," Lux ordered.

Immediately, the lid of the coffin opened, and a black mist came out of it.

When the mist gathered together, the once most talented member of the Reapers appeared in front of him.

"I-It can't be," Amir had received another shock after he saw someone that was supposed to be dead for the second time. "Sid! You're still alive!"

"Amir?" Sid, who recognized the blonde Assassin, couldn't help but gasp in shock after seeing someone whom he hadn't seen for a very long time.

Among the Reapers, there was one person whom he considered to be a very close friend, and it was none other than Amir, who was currently wrapped up in Shax's tail with blood dripping from his mouth.

Sid bit his lip as he lowered his head to look at the ground. He was having an internal battle inside of his head.

The last thing he wanted to see was the death of his only friend when he was still alive, but after seeing Amir in the flesh, he understood the current situation.

There was only one reason why Amir would appear in front of Lux, and that reason was none other than an assassination mission.

Sid thought that Twilight Rain somehow discovered that Lux was still alive, which was why they sent his friend to assassinate him.

Little did he know that his assumption was far from the truth, and the Blonde Assassin was only ordered to kidnap a Dwarf girl as his first mission after becoming a Slayer.

After half a minute, Sid clenched his fist before raising his head to look at his Master, Lux.

"Master, I know that this may sound selfish, and it might even cause you great harm in the future," Sid said softly as he looked directly into his Master's eyes, making sure that every word he uttered was understood. "But please, can you spare Amir just this once? I will talk to him and make him take an oath that he will not tell Twilight Rain that you are still alive."

"Spare him?" Lux arched an eyebrow as he looked at the Assassin who once tried to assassinate him along with Scarlet.

"Yes, Master," Sid replied. "Please spare him."

Ever since he had revived Sid to become a Dhampir, the handsome Dwarf had dedicated his life to him, and he could tell how loyal the Dwarf Assassin was to him.

This had been especially true ever since he allowed Sid to take his two sisters to Leaf Village so that they could be cared for by people who wouldn't put them in harm's way.

Amir felt touched after seeing that the one he treated as his rival and friend was doing his best to save his life.

Although he had already resigned himself to death, if there was a possibility to live, who wouldn't want to live?

After what seemed like forever, Lux smiled and nodded his head.

"Very well, if you can convince him to pretend that he hasn't seen me, then I'll let him go," Lux replied. "If he agrees then I have a proposal to make."

"A proposal?" Amir asked. "What kind of proposal?"

"Become a double agent."

"W-What?"

Lux smirked. "Become a double agent. You will become my mole inside Twilight Rain."

"Are you crazy?!" Amir couldn't help but shout after hearing Lux's proposal. "You want me to become your spy? You want me to betray my Organization?"

The Half-Elf nodded. "You have already betrayed your Organization by ratting out the members that are stationed in Wisp Tree Town. Since you're already a traitor, why not go all in?"

Amir was going to refute Lux's statement, but after thinking about it, he realized that the Half-Elf was right.

He had already betrayed his comrades, so betraying them again wouldn't make much of a difference, right?

"Don't worry, this is not a one-sided deal," Lux said in a coaxing tone, similar to salesmen who were planning to sell their wares to their customers. "You will benefit from this as well."

Lux raised his hand, and a bronze-colored Wyvern materialized behind him.

During the battle inside the Gate of Famine, Gaap had decided to capture the Deimos and Argonaut-ranked Monsters who had tried to escape the battlefield.

He had tossed these monsters into the Heaven's Gate bestiary to be trained by Bedivere, who was a Dragon Knight.

Because of the power of Lux's Covenant, Bedivere could recruit any flying creature, especially those with Dragon Blood in them to become part of his Aerial Cavalry.

All in all, Gaap had captured six Wyverns. They were all Deimos-Ranked Monsters, and Bedivere was able to tame them, making them ownerless Flying Mounts of Heaven's Gate.

Since Amir's Black-Crowned Vulture had died, he decided to give one of the Wyverns to the Blonde Dwarf as one of the bribes he had in mind in order to gain the Assassin's loyalty.

"For now, you can have this Deimos-Ranked Wyvern." Lux offered the powerful beast to Amir as if it was just a cabbage he had picked on his farm. "As long as you do your job properly, I will give you more benefits.

"Believe me when I say that the things you can get from me are greater than what you can get from Twilight Rain. If you think I am joking, you can ask Sid over here. He will tell you what kind of employer I am."

Sid, who was doing his best to keep his friend alive, nodded his head and affirmed Lux's words.

"Master is a very generous individual," Sid stated. "He will not shortchange you. I have experienced this first hand after being killed by him."

Amir blinked his eyes in confusion. "Killed by him?"

"Yes," Sid replied. "Master is a Necromancer. He revived me from the dead."

Lux took this opportunity to summon his Skeleton Gangbangers, who approached Amir with excitement, even looking at their Master in askance if they could do the thing to their Master's captive.

Although Amir didn't know what the Skeleton Gangbangers were planning to do, his sixth sense was screaming at him that these Skeletons could do more damage to him than what he experienced from the Nighgaunt's tickling session.

"Indeed." Lux smiled. "I am a Necromancer. I could have killed you then revived you again, forcing you to become loyal to me. But since Sid is pleading on your behalf, I plan to spare your life on the condition that you become a double agent. So, what will it be?"

The Blonde Assassin stared at Lux's face before shifting his gaze to Sid.

Sid held his gaze and nodded his head. Clearly, he was telling Amir that he should put his trust in him just this once.

"Fine," Amir said through gritted teeth. "I will become your mole in the organization."

Lux nodded and procured a scroll in his hand, in which he would make Amir write a blood oath.

These scrolls were personally given to him by Gaap as if he was expecting Lux to make unreasonable demands on people, so he could bind them in a blood contract.

The Half-Elf was aware that the Blood Contracts that Gaap gave him were imbued with Antero's blood. If anyone broke their oaths, Antero's visage would appear in front of the offender and devour them until nothing was left.

From the very start, he had planned to make Amir his mole inside Twilight Rain, just like Scarlet.

He needed people in places where his eyes and hands couldn't reach. To make this happen, he needed more moles in Twilight Rain.

He needed agents that would inform him if the Dark Guild was planning to make a big move that could potentially harm those who were important to him.

Since Twilight Rain, who was hiding in the shadows, was targeting his friends, he planned to do them dirty by turning their agents into his own agents.

By doing so, he would slowly build the foundation that would help uproot them once and for all.
