Mohen narrowed his long, narrow phoenix eyes.
"No?"
Say it again.
Chuhe shrugged.
"No, there isn't any."
"The silver-haired man didn't ask any questions and readily approved my interview."
"The whole process took less than two minutes."
Chu He felt sothing was off as he spoke, so he looked at Mohen and asked him a question with ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) little confidence.
"Could it be...could it be that he established so kind of connection with you when you went in?"
The ink mark did not answer.
He simply stared at Chu He with an expression as if he were looking at an idiot.
Chu He felt extrely uncomfortable under that gaze. He forced himself to straighten his chest, trying to regain his composure.
Why are you looking at like that?
He smiled, trying to appear relaxed.
"Maybe it's because I'm too outstanding."
"That man recognized my extraordinary qualities at a glance, so he skipped all the tedious procedures."
Chu He found Chu He's words increasingly reasonable, and his confidence returned.
"Besides, who says that everyone who goes for an interview will necessarily be signed a contract?"
"Can't there be exceptions?"
Inkmark finally spoke.
He scoffed, his voice filled with undisguised contempt.
"exception?"
Do you think it's possible?
"You don't really think that the Eternal Night Guild's interviews are just about calling people in for casual conversation, do you?"
Chu He's smile froze on his face once again.
A mocking smile curled at the corner of Mohen's mouth.
He clapped his hands as if he had just realized sothing.
"Oh, I understand."
"No wonder their acceptance rate is so low."
Mohen's gaze swept over the professionals still waiting in line, his contempt growing stronger.
"Anyone who cannot sign such a mandatory contract with them will be eliminated."
"Even S-class professionals are no exception."
He withdrew his gaze and focused it back on Chu He, speaking slowly and deliberately.
"The Eternal Night Guild only wants obedient dogs."
Yes.
Everything makes sense now.
That bizarre contract was the core of the interview.
Those who pass will beco their "servants".
If it fails, it will be eliminated directly.
Simple, direct, and efficient.
This is the real reason why the Eternal Night Guild was able to rise so rapidly in a short period of ti.
They don't care what kind of genius you are, or how much potential you have.
All they want is absolute loyalty and absolute control.
Having figured this out, Mohen grinned.
"This Eternal Night Guild is really interesting."
Chu He pointed to himself sowhat blankly.
"Since that's the case..."
"Then...why was I accepted?"
Mohen rolled his eyes at the other party and said coldly:
"Idiot. What else could it be?"
"You've most likely already been exposed."
Chu He frowned slightly.
Were we exposed?
How is that possible?
He still couldn't quite believe it.
I acted perfectly normally, without any flaws, so how did the other person find out?
"Hey, are you sure?" Chu He lowered his voice and pressed Mohen beside him for an answer.
Mohen crossed his arms, too lazy to even lift his eyelids.
"A piece of advice."
"It's not too late to run now."
As he was pondering this, soone called his na from afar.
"Chuhe!"
Chuhe snapped out of his daze and turned to look.
The one who called her was Jasmine, the guild leader of the Eternal Night Guild.
She stood not far away, waving at him with a professional, gentle smile, gesturing for him to co over.
Mohen stood beside him, reminding him again in an almost inaudible voice.
"Be careful, there might be an ambush."
"However, I would advise you to run away now."
"Run away?"
Chuhe's lips curled up uncontrollably.
"This is not like , Chu He."
If Zhou Huai heard this, he would definitely chuckle twice.
I wonder who it was back then who crawled into the toilet in prison to escape.
The doubt and seriousness on Chu He's face vanished instantly.
Instead, he wore a flattered and delighted expression.
He walked quickly to Jasmine, bowed slightly, and lowered his posture considerably.
"President Jasmine, you wanted to see ?"
Jasmine's expression remained completely unchanged.
“Mr. Chuhe, on behalf of the Eternal Night Guild, I would like to welco you to the guild once again.”
"I've seen your file. You're an S-rank water-type professional, which is excellent."
"You are a talent that our guild urgently needs, and you are the future elite backbone of our Eternal Night Guild."
These words made Chu He feel comfortable, and his face showed just the right amount of excitent and honor.
"President, you flatter . It is my honor to join Eternal Night!"
Jasmine nodded in satisfaction, her gaze sweeping over the few people still queuing not far away.
"Well, I happen to have sothing to do."
"I'd like to have a short eting with you new S-class geniuses so you can get to know each other."
Soon, Jasmine led five S-level professionals, including Chu He, who had just passed the interview, to a private conference room.
Jasmine pushed open the door and made a "please" gesture.
The room was empty.
There was only a cold, long tal table and a few chairs.
The walls were gray, there were no windows, and the overhead light was blindingly white.
The atmosphere was sowhat oppressive.
The other four S-class professionals all looked sowhat puzzled.
One of the tall, burly n, exuding a violent aura, couldn't help but speak up.
"President, are you sure you want to hold the eting here?"
This place doesn't look like a eting room at all; it looks more like an interrogation room.
Jasmine maintained her perfect smile as she walked to the center of the room and turned around.
Her gaze swept over everyone, finally settling on Chu He's face.
Then, she spoke calmly.
"Except for Chu He."
"You four, go out first."
The words fell.
The atmosphere in the room imdiately beca serious.
The four S-class professionals looked at each other, confused as to what had happened.
But it was the chairman's order, and they dared not disobey.
After a brief hesitation, he walked out of the room, looking back every few steps.
With a soft "click," the heavy tal door closed.
Only Chuhe and Jasmine remained in the room.
Chu He narrowed his eyes.
The smile on his face finally faded.
Look at this setup.
It seems that what Mohen said is true.
I have already been exposed.
This was a setup specifically designed to target them.
Having figured this out, Chu He showed no sign of panic.
Instead, an irrepressible sense of excitent welled up from the depths of his heart, making his eyes look sowhat dangerous.
He liked this feeling.
He licked his slightly dry lips and looked at Jasmine with amusent.
"President, what do you an by this?"
Jasmine simply smiled calmly at him without saying a word.
In the deepest shadow in the corner of the room, a figure slowly erged.
He was a silver-haired man with skin so white it was almost translucent.
He erged from the shadows silently, yet brought with him a mountain-like sense of oppression.
A deep, magnetic voice echoed in the empty room, tinged with a hint of mockery.
"Excuse ."
"It wasn't Jasmine who was looking for you."
"It's ."
