"Oh my God. She cut her palm." Selene said in surprise.

"Will it work?" Asked Marine with her timid voice. Alex also nodded his head while his eyes were focused on Inaka who was supposedly about to show a miracle.

Alice was also interested in that. Although her mom's healing magic also has the same effect. She wanted to see if that green liquid can.

Shin was just looking without much of a change in his expression. He already believed it would work. The item description said it all.

In front of everyone's curious gazes. Inaka used that potion on herself. The green liquid fell on her hand. A moment later a miracle happened.

The wound started closing in. Within a minute it was almost invisible. She washed the remaining blood from her hands and showed it to everyone. There was no wound on her perfectly flawless skin.

*WOOOAAAHHHHH*

Cheers started echoing throughout the area. Everyone was amazed. It was the work of gods for them.

"So amazing."

"The wound disappeared. I can't believe it." One man said in amazement.

"Believe it or not. I'm going to join Shidou Clan. With that thing in our hands. We can rest assured." Another man replied.

"You can see the effects of these potions and this is not it. We have a lot of things for our members." Inaka said taking everyone's attention.

"So those of you who want to join our Shidou Guild. You can come to this location tomorrow or you can leave your contact information here." Inaka's words sounded and she presented the address, where the recruitment would happen at.

'Commercial district huh? She has a good mind for business.' Shin thought as he glanced at Inaka one last time. Now that the show was over he wasn't interested.

Many awakeneds were making a big deal out of it. They all wanted to join the Shidou Guild. Who would not if they could have such a life-saving potion with them?

This was a matter of life and death.

Even Alex, Selene, and Marine were interested in joining.

"Wow, that thing is awesome," Alex said in surprise. All this time he was too quiet after getting his heart crushed by Shin ruthlessly. But the effect of that potion excited him.

"Maybe we should join them. What do you think Marine?" Selene said as she looked at Marine.

"Uh-huh. I think that is a great choice. I also know Shidou Clan's reputation is good. They have been treating their employees very nicely in whichever market they are." Marine said with a calm voice. But excitement could be felt in her voice.

"It's decided then. What about you Alex?" Selene said as she asked Alex's opinion.

"I am fine with it," Alex replied.

Selene was happy with Alex's decision. She turned to look at Shin and Alice. If those two can join, it would be great. Maybe they all can work together.

"What about you Alice and Shin?" Selene asked with her excitement over the roof.

Alice didn't say anything and turned to Shin. It didn't matter to her. She just wanted to be with Shin. If he joins them she will too. If he doesn't she wouldn't even remember them.

Shin noticed Alice's gaze and understood that she is waiting for his answer. He was happy.

'What is this feeling?' Shin calmed his waving heart and replied to Selene.

"I think we will pass. I don't want us to work for someone else." Although he gave that reason. There is no way he is going to work with others. His ability to plunder should be kept a secret. As for Alice.

There's no way they are going to reveal Alice's SSS rank ability. It will be chaos. Maybe some jealous people will want to kill her or capture her for their greed.

'I won't let that happen. I'll also need to find a way to hide our statuses.' If there is someone else who has a similar ability to his appraisal they may end up in trouble. Shin wanted to assure that, it won't happen.

Selene wasn't expecting that answer from Shin.

"Why though? Isn't this a good deal?" She asked not understanding their reason for refusing to join.

Before Shin could reply he heard someone shouting in a mocking tone.

"Oooh who do we have here?" Shin and the others turned to look at the source of this voice.

He saw a brown-haired man coming in their direction. He had a grin on his face. 'Who the heck is he? Do I know him?'

Shin didn't know who this man was, nor did Alice. Not that she was interested.

But the other three knew him perfectly well. That man was the one who abandoned them when they were being chased by that monster. It was Jake Anthony.

"Didn't expect you guys to be alive? How did you survive by the way?" Jake said with a grin. His eyes turned in the Marine's direction. 'Great she is alive. Maybe I can still have her.'

"You BASTARD!! How dare you show yourself in front of us?" Alex shouted in rage as his eyes were bloodshot seeing Jake. He left them to die at the hands of monsters and ran away abandoning them.

"What? Why are you guys angry? We all were running from that monster. I didn't expect that you guys were so slow." Jake said making his point. But his eyes didn't have any regret he also had a grin that looked like he was mocking them.

"Stop it, Alex. Don't make a commotion here." Selene said as she stood up from her seat.

Shin and Alice were looking at this show in front of them.

'Now I understand. So that guy was the one who abandoned them.' Thought Shin as he used his Appraisal on Jake.

[Jake Anthony]

[Level - 22]

[Title - Betrayer]

[Age - 27]

[Special ability - Shadow Veil (C)]

[Trait - Cunning, Wicked, Lapdog, Lustful, Overconfident.]

'Wow, that guy is totally bad. He got a title too. Huh.' Shin thought as he appraised the 'Betrayer' title.

[Betrayer - Title is given to those who killed their trusted ones for greed. When they are betraying their family and friends. The title will give 10% extra attack power.

Warning - The Host will get crazy and lose his mind.]

'This is messed up. I can't believe this guy.' Shin was also angry now. That guy killed the people who trusted him. He despises people like that. How could he betray his family? f𝓇𝘦e𝑤𝘦𝚋𝒏૦ѵℯ𝒍.c𝐨𝒎

Selene just grabbed Jake's collar and said with a threatening glare.

"Why the hell are you here? If you don't want to die at my hands get lost."

Jake shook off her hands.

"Hah kill me. Dream on. I don't have business with you. I want those two." Jake said as he pointed his fingers at Shin and Alice.

Shin raised his eyebrows. He wasn't expecting this turn of events. What does he want with them?

This made Alice super angry.

'Who is this bastard?'

'How dare he talk so rudely to my darling?'

'Let's kill him.'

'No, wait. Shin just had his lunch and he was happy today.' Alice thought as she remembered Shin's smiling face while killing monsters. 'I can't let his mood get worse. With the aftertaste of this guy's death. Should I mark him and finish him off later?'

'He also looks like a bad guy. Those three guys are also angry. What was their name again? Hmm, whatever doesn't matter.' Alice thought as she looked in Selene, Marine, and Alex's direction.

'Let's just finish this guy and be done with it.'

Alice decided to just kill him. She should not waste time on these things.

Shin wasn't expecting that but he decided to listen to him. It may bring him some benefits. His eyes turn cold and calmed down in a flash.

Jake was Steven's lackey. The second-generation rich dude who tried to court Alice this morning and made a fool out of himself. Yeah, that guy.

After running from the dungeon. Jake met Steven and his men. They wanted to get information on two people.

Seeing that Jake seems useful Steven decided to take him. As Jake was an expert at boot licking he managed to earn Steven's trust.

Steven went inside the dungeon to search for Shin and Alice. He asked Jake to keep watch at the entrance. Steven was pissed at Shin.

Because of Jack's lack of supervision. Shin and Alice managed to come out without his notice.

'Thank God I noticed them. Steven wouldn't have let me be. Otherwise.' Jake thought. He was surprised to see the people near the target though. They were his teammates. Which he thought would have died.

'How did they survive?'

'This guy doesn't look that strong. Maybe if I handle them myself. I can get great rewards from Steven. Why did this weak guy even offend Steven? Not my problem. Let's just kill him and get rewarded.' Jake thought as he looked at Shin.

His eyes were full of madness.

"Both of you are coming with me. You offended someone you shouldn't." Jake said barely controlling his bloodlust.

"Who are you talking about?" Shin asked. He wanted to know who was behind him.

"Steven Mark. Remember anything? I don't know what problem you two have. But you are going to pay the price to mess with the wrong person." Jake's words sounded as his face look hysterical.

Shin frowned listening to James' words.

'What? Steven? Who? Do I know someone like that?' This morning Shin was not much interested in things around him as he was busy looking at the dungeon and appraising the information. So, he missed Steven's little introduction speech.

'Don't tell me it was that guy who was hitting on Alice. I thought it's better to ignore such people.' Shin looked at Alice who also looked confused. Of course, she would be. Why would she remember someone so insignificant?

'I should make it clear we don't know this guy.'

But before Shin could say anything Alex's words sounded.

"You aren't taking them anywhere. Just leave, cowards like you who abandon their team members should just die." Alex said in disgust. 𝑓𝒓𝚎e𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯𝘰𝐯𝒆𝑙.c𝚘m

"Coward huh? You have no right to say that. You all were just a burden in the name of teammates. You people would die sooner or later but don't involve me here." Jake said in irritation.

"Che, don't waste my time here. Or I will just take that fucking bitch and go. I'll enjoy my time before I hand her over to Steven. " Jake said as he pointed at Alice. He was trying to agitate Shin and he did.

"Let's go," Shin said with a calm voice. But his eyes were red. Jake just crossed a line that he shouldn't have. His impending doom is nearby.

What a fool.
