Chapter 41: Commission from The Hand
After staying in his secret nest for a week, Roger ended the continuous daily practice.
After this practice period, he successfully extended the attack distance of the Chidori Sharp Spear to 5 meters. After completely mastering Chidori Sharp Spear, he also took the opportunity to learn Chidori Current in one go.
Therefore, two more ninjutsus showed up in his status panel - Chidori Sharp Spear and Chidori Current.
The appearance of Chidori Sharp Spear and Chidori Current, although it was not enough to significantly increase his strength, provided more possibilities for his battle.
After a comfortable bath, Roger went to the office through Flying Thunder God Technique.
Compared to a week ago, the office had changed a lot.
After buying this place and transforming it into an office, Roger had never done any renovations. The entire office was a large, open room of sixty to seventy square meters.
And now, the office was separated into two different rooms.
On the inside was Roger's office, while on the outside was Erica's office and customer reception.
Although the area was small, there were already signs of official firms.
After opening the door to the reception area, Roger saw Erica and the two men sitting on the sofa.
One of them was not unfamiliar to him. It was Sowande, who had just given him five million dollars a while ago.
As for the Asian man beside him, he had no memory of him at all.
However, judging from the man's attire and the aura he exuded, he should be one of Hand's five fingers, Murakami.
"Hello, Mr. Roger. Long time no see. This is my partner, Murakami!"
Seeing Roger coming out of the office, Sowande immediately stood up and said with a smile.
If one only looked at his current appearance, no one would have thought that this big black man who wore a black suit and had a simple smile on his face would be one of the notorious leaders of the Hand.
"Long time no see, Mr. Sowande. Come into my office and talk!"
Although Roger did not know the purpose of Sowande and Murakami, judging from Sowande's current condition, it should not be a bad thing.
After entering Roger's office and sitting down, Sowande put a delicate and high-end suitcase on the desk and said, "This time, we are here to carry out a commission. If Mr. Roger is interested, the things here are the reward for this time!"
After saying that, Sowande opened the suitcase and revealed the items inside.
Inside the suitcase were pieces of white bones, which looked no different from ordinary animal bones.
Although Sowande had not introduced them, Roger had already recognized the origin of these bones.
The Hand's five fingers could survive for several hundred years beyond the limits of a human body because of these white bones in front of him.
This is a dragon bone; a skeleton left behind after the death of the legendary divine dragon. After using it in the right way, it can obtain an astonishing vitality, significantly prolonging life, and even reviving the dead.
Although Sowande's words sounded unbelievable, what he said was the truth. The dragon bone indeed had the effect of extending life and reviving the dead.
Although there were many restrictions on this resurrection, in general, it was worthy of the title of reviving.
"The reward is not bad! Tell me about the contents of your commission!"
"But let me remind you in advance, letting you introduce the contents of the commission does not mean that I will accept your commission."
Roger introduced the rules on his side in advance to avoid unnecessary trouble.
"No problem!" Sowande immediately replied.
Although Murakami came to the office with Sowande, it was apparent that Sowande was the primary benefactor this time.
"The mission this time is straightforward. We hope Mr. Roger can help us clear out a secret stronghold of Kingpin!"
After hearing Sowande's words, Roger was slightly stunned. Then, he said, "Is it popular to hire people to attack your opponents in the underworld? Your way of playing is very bold!"
Those in the underground world didn't even have an automatic hand, so how could they still be called the underground world?
"We know that Kingpin once entrusted a mission to you, Mr. Roger. But after the mission, your previous cooperation was announced to be over with him, right?"
"Moreover, I think that the last time Kingpin deliberately leaked the news about you, Mr. Roger, and made others think that you were his subordinate. This also makes you very unhappy."
Roger didn't care about what Sowande said.
How should I put it? It feels like you met someone once, and then that person started to brag about you being his friend.
To put it simply, before he crossed over, he could often hear the story of me having a friend or a brother.
"Even so, he used to be my client! So..."
"I have to increase the price!"
Roger would have accepted it casually if the reward Sowande and the others took out was US dollars.
However, they had to take out a mystical item like the dragon bone that could increase one's vitality, so it was no wonder he had raised the price at the last minute.
Seeing Roger seriously raise the price, Sowande suddenly froze.
No, this shouldn't be the case!
Didn't they say that he rarely cared about the reward of the commission?
Why did he even increase the reward?
Sowande was originally full of confidence. After all, they had taken out a rare item like the dragon bone.
But the current development had wholly exceeded his expectations.
Just as Sowande was unsure whether he should agree to Roger or not, Murakami, who had been sitting next to him without saying anything, suddenly spoke up.
"No problem! How much do you want?"
"Another box of dragon bones!"
"Alright!"
After listening to Roger's request, Murakami decided to act like he didn't say a word.
"I like generous customers like you!"
After saying that, Roger took out an unused commission scroll from the drawer.
"Write your commission content and reward, then sign your names!"
Although he didn't know why Roger suddenly had such a request, Sowande and Murakami still wrote the contents on the scroll and signed their names.
[Mission content: Clear out Kingpin's secret stronghold. Mission status: incomplete. Mission reward: 20 - ninja coins! ]
The Hand's commission smoothly passed the system's judgment, improving Roger's mood.
Although he still didn't know which stronghold the Hand asked him to clear, it was not difficult for him even if the Hand's target was Kingpin's Chrysler Building.
