They really came...
Rise strode the familiar halls, lost in his thoughts. After he managed to get a hold of the participant list, he immediately looked for the individuals he was interested in.
When organizing his future knowledge and the sets of instructions and timelines he gave Dino, Rise also remembered them and set his eyes on them.
They were not really part of the plot, but they would be a huge help to him. He did not only need an information network; he also needed a covert but powerful force.
A force that was distinct from his information network and could not be easily distinguished as part of the underground world at all.
More like... an assassin guild. It sounded cliche, but he needed them.
"If only I could have Eubin." Rise valued Eubin's ability. However, he was loyal to Kamille, and Rise also did not want his comrade to be his subordinate.
And so, he set his eyes on the next big thing.
