“Did you know? More than half of the Sealing Demon Mercenary Group are beauties. You little pervert really have a good eye. And their reputation on Devil’s Island is the best—they never use newcomers as cannon fodder during dangerous missions. I really found a good client this time! Except for being a bit lecherous…”

“I’m not lecherous!”

Although I tried my best to argue, after Julia said that, I couldn’t help but feel a little pleased with my luck. But then Julia changed her tone and put on her devilish lady act again. “The elimination rate at the Sealing Demon Mercenary Group’s rookie training camp is also astonishingly high. I bet you, little pervert, won’t be able to pass all the training!”

I couldn’t help but cry out in frustration, “Julia! Can’t you stop hurting my pride like that?”

“That’s my job, it’s in the contract!”

“Fine, then come with me to the training camp!”

I wasn’t surprised at all when Julia rejected my request, but she also refused my other suggestion just as firmly: “No, the Sealing Demon Mercenary Group doesn’t allow rookies to bring guides into the training camp. I can’t go with you.”

“Seriously? Why didn’t you say so earlier? Then I wouldn’t have come up here just to get roasted by you. I could’ve just left with Lillian Faulkner.”

Julia snapped her fingers with a grin, then said, “Well, I wish you a pleasant time at the training camp. Don’t get too dazzled by all the beauties.”

Leaving my breakfast behind, I stormed out of the guest room in frustration, completely forgetting that I wanted to ask Julia about the mercenary group. When I contacted Lillian Faulkner with my comm card, this beauty told me to find her in room 2034.

When I went downstairs to room 2034, I found the door wasn’t even closed, and Lillian Faulkner’s voice came from inside: “Mr. William Warren, you don’t need to knock, please come in!”

I walked in a bit hesitantly and saw three men in the room. Lillian Faulkner introduced them to me: “These three are Leonard Wolf, Jack, and Samuel Barton! They’re also newcomers, and you’ll be going to the rookie training camp together.”

I nodded to them, wanting to smile to show friendliness, but the three of them all looked extremely fierce, with not a hint of expression on their faces. My greeting just fizzled out awkwardly.

“All right, now everyone introduce your abilities. In the training camp, you’ll be trained as a small team, so building rapport early will help you a lot.”

Leonard Wolf grinned, and this giant of over two meters tall was already a bit scary when not smiling, but when he did, the only word to describe it was “ferocious.” “I’m Leonard Wolf. People say I have a werewolf delusion, so I came to Devil’s Island to seek the power to truly become a werewolf. I trained in Russia, have participated in several wars, and know all kinds of combat techniques and weaponry.”

After Leonard Wolf introduced himself, Jack spoke second, his tone flat: “I’ve killed a lot of people, maybe a hundred or two. The last one I killed had a Wish Fruit, so I came here.” Then he shrugged indifferently and said, “I don’t really want to do anything! Hmm, if I can find a perfect way to dispose of bodies here so the cops don’t bother me, that would be wonderful.”

Samuel Barton spoke in a very serious tone: “I’m the heir of an exorcist family, and I came here to seek the legendary ultimate secret technique. I’ve only killed ghosts, never people!”

“I’m a first-year high school student. The bloodiest thing I’ve ever done is probably dismembering a grasshopper!” Hearing the terrifying backgrounds of these three, my own introduction sounded completely out of place. The four pairs of surprised eyes in the room made me wipe the sweat from my forehead and add, “I also killed a chicken once!”

Leonard Wolf almost roared with laughter, while Jack just frowned and said nothing. Samuel Barton, on the other hand, gave me a slight smile, which made me feel quite good.

Lillian Faulkner smiled and snapped her fingers, signaling us to quiet down. Then she said, “Now that you’re on Devil’s Island, you need to adapt to the new environment. Everyone, open your Devil’s Book and let me check what cards and treasures you have!”

Leonard Wolf casually summoned his Devil’s Book, which turned out to be the smallest model, sixty-four pages, with only a thousand storage slots. Seeing him open it with one hand, I felt quite envious.

“I only have five cards, given to me by the demon assistant.”

Jack glanced at Leonard Wolf’s Devil’s Book, then summoned his own. His was also sixty-four pages, but when he opened it, he had dozens of cards and treasures, filling several densely packed pages. “I killed that demon lady and got these!”

Samuel Barton looked at me but didn’t summon his own Devil’s Book. He just said calmly, “Same here, I killed that female demon. Got twenty-eight cards and three treasures!”

“I didn’t do anything. Other than the two basic martial arts cards given by Miss Ford, I don’t have anything else!”
