John truly had not expected that the lie he had casually made up back then would come true once again.
Developing spies within the Allied Forces?
And using Allied Forces personnel at that?
If word of this reached that One-Eyed Hunter Owl, Orco, then with that man's unscrupulous nature, John would probably become the top name on the Allied Special Operations Department's kill list, wouldn't he?
Forget retiring then—even if he stayed in a fortress guarded by countless soldiers every day, he probably would not be able to sleep peacefully.
Damn it, he had only wanted to use Will to test Roxy's reaction and determine whether he had become her target.
How had it actually turned into an undercover operation in the end?
This was clearly not how it was supposed to go. Where the hell had it all gone wrong, damn it?!
John's heart was filled with despair. Being inexplicably targeted by Wolf was already miserable enough.
If that ruthless old bastard Orco set his sights on him too, John simply could not imagine the kind of troublesome life awaiting him.
So why not strike first and just kill that old bastard Orco?
That would save him from sending people to assassinate John in a fit of rage later.
That should solve the problem at its root, right?
John's mind raced wildly, but after careful consideration,
he decisively abandoned the idea of sending Hassan, a classmate he had never even met, to his death.
Although he did not know Hassan's exact combat ability, he knew Orco's strength very well. Orco was absolutely not someone an ordinary mage could hope to challenge.
Moreover, the Guard Regiment around Orco consisted of the best of the best. Forget Hassan, some unknown nobody—even if Laiya went, she might not come out ahead against
