My Misfortune Crushed Instances-Chapter 152: Became Someone Else’s Lackey

Li Rui received a job offer.

This job was in the Land of Chaos, enough to make many people envious, but honestly, compared to the treatment he received in the organization, it still needed improvement.

In the Blood Blade Alliance, peripheral members were equivalent to interns. No matter what tasks they had during the day, they had to eat and stay at the base and obey orders from superiors. When they saw official members, they needed to be fawning and obsequious.

Only after becoming regular members could they be considered truly part of this most powerful organization in Kaiouli.

Li Rui was assigned to temporarily live in an apartment with naturally poor conditions and two other people in the same room. He had to wait there overnight since the task would be assigned the next morning.

He owed this to Liang Qiucheng’s machinations, who, under the guise of wanting to become regular quickly, asked Dominico for help in arranging this imminent task. But actually, it was because he heard on the black market that this task involved transporting a crucial target, who might be the traitor the organization wanted to eliminate.

The task was assigned first thing in the morning.

The three people in the apartment were directly picked up by a van.

The other two were called Snake Eye and Snake Fang, brothers by blood. The nicknames were self-given, unlike those like Blood Tiger or Demon Witch, and were not widely recognized.

The three sat and waited in the van for a while, then several others, who also seemed to be peripheral members, boarded. A bald man with white skin searched everyone and collected their phones before locking the van door from the outside, leaving only a vent in the roof.

Vroom—

The van started, and the ride was bumpy.

Honestly, the van’s interior was terrible, so to distract themselves, they started chatting.

The Snake brothers were a team and felt the most confident. Snake Eye said, "Hey, does anyone know where we are going?"

No one responded; none of these people were of good character. Meeting for the first time naturally made everyone cautious.

"Have you heard? The organization is looking for someone called Foggy Evil Ghost. Maybe we’re going to execute that mission." Snake Fang chimed in.

It wasn’t very likely. Michael only met Li Rui in the Secret Realm and knew nothing about his identity, name, or age, so actively seeking him was basically futile, only waiting for someone to provide a clue.

However, so long as he didn’t use those signature skills or walk around carrying the Big Black Umbrella on his shoulder, it was unlikely anyone would recognize him.

Someone then chipped in, "Who knows who that is? I have reliable info that the organization’s genius assassin, Michael, couldn’t beat him."

"Your info is outdated."

The atmosphere finally livened up, and someone said, "It’s not ’couldn’t beat,’ it’s ’a complete defeat,’ killed multiple times in the arena."

Of course, there were rookies asking: What’s the arena?

Still, nobody answered him; someone continued, "He’s supposedly from the Dragon Country."

"He’s of Dragon Country descent."

At this point, everyone turned to look at Li Rui, who sat cross-legged in the corner, as he was the only one with an Eastern appearance on the vehicle.

"Aba Aba?"

Snake Eye laughed, "His Banluo Language isn’t good."

With that said, the others didn’t think much more of it and started chatting about other topics. In most people’s eyes, someone who could beat the genius of the Blood Blade Alliance into depression must be proficient in everything.

Besides, someone like that would be sought after by various forces, so why would they end up sitting in the same vehicle with them?

Moreover, the Land of Chaos had people of all ethnicities; encountering one yellow-skinned person wouldn’t necessarily mean they were the Foggy Evil Ghost. Such coincidences were rare.

After about half an hour, the van stopped at the outskirts of a city at a campsite with several standalone buildings enclosed by brick walls.

After getting out, the bald man from the passenger seat opened the rear compartment door.

"Follow me, don’t ask questions."

The bald man, looking fierce, led everyone inside.

Li Rui carefully observed the surroundings, trying to determine what kind of place it was.

As for their location, Guan Gui had ways to track them in secret; he just needed to understand the internal situation, preferably gathering information about the target.

The group was taken to a building on the outskirts, the first-floor lounge was a spacious recreation room with tables, chairs, benches, and a television.

"From today on, you’ll stay here. If needed, I’ll call. Just be on call." The bald man said coldly, intending to leave.

Snake Fang asked, "What is this place used for, boss?"

Snake Eye tugged at his brother, not expecting him to blurt it out. The bald man seemed like someone with no patience.

Sure enough, the bald man stopped, stood for a while, then turned coldly, "What did you say?"

Snake Fang swallowed hard, "Wha-what is this place used for?"

Before, he hadn’t seemed so straightforward?

Li Rui thought, planning to see how the bald man would handle it. Surely, he wouldn’t beat someone just for asking a question.

Unexpectedly, the bald man seemed excited: "One more word?"

"Bo-boss?"

"Ha."

The bald man quickly coughed twice, "Don’t ask much, there’s a shipment here. We’re guarding it, and you must ensure nothing goes wrong, until the customers arrive."

Li Rui felt speechless upon realizing it was just because the guy liked being called ’boss’.

"Doesn’t seem like someone from the higher-ups."

He judged internally, "Shipment? I need an opportunity to see what it is, confirm if the target is hidden inside."

"Boss, how long do we have to guard this place?"

Seeing the bald man seemed happy, Snake Fang quickly asked another question.

"About two or three days."

"Once we’re done, can we become regular members?"

That was what everyone wanted to know. Joining the Blood Blade Alliance as a peripheral member was all for securing an official position.

The bald man shook his head, "It’s not that easy, stop dreaming, stay put."

With that, he left without staying longer, trudging away.

Actually, the people here, except Li Rui or the Snake brothers, mostly had worked for minor forces in the Land of Chaos. Soon, someone shared their view that they were there to act as guards.

"Nonetheless,"

A middle-aged man with a bushy beard keen to show off said, "In my experience, cargo requiring so many guards is usually expensive and something that shouldn’t see the light of day; someone might try to steal it."

"No way, would anyone dare hijack a Blood Blade Alliance shipment in Kaiouli?"

"Why not, just snatch it and run. As long as you leave this place, the Alliance may not find you; it’s merely the Blood Blade, not the Holy Protection High Court."

As the day ended and night fell, a hierarchy had already formed within this group of peripheral members.

The ones in charge were the aligned Snake brothers and the talkative bushy-bearded man, named Pence.

Li Rui didn’t fall to the very bottom, since the Snake brothers took him in owing to their shared room for the past two days. However, the price was becoming their little sidekick.
