Chapter 44: Joining

Fuck!

Before I could say anything, the task screen appeared in front of me.

[Task: Join Special Forces: Difficulty: A

Rewards: +5 for all attributes, Blink upgrade

Time Limit: 7 Days]

I sat there with my mouth open wide when I saw the Rewards.

Hah! There is nothing I can do. I hardly ever get these types of awards,

As I read the task, I know now I cannot live an ordinary life. It even mentioned a time limit for joining the forces.

“You understand, right?” The man’s voice snapped my attention away from my thoughts.

Olivia’s father looked at me seriously as he awaited my response.

Nodding, I asked, “What will be the benefits of joining the forces?”

After looking at me for a while, he said, “It’s your greatest honor to have been allowed to join the Special Forces. What else can you ask for?”

I was astonished when I heard his response. What a bunch of bullshit he’s talking about.

As I cleared my throat, I asked, “Sir, I would like to know the benefits I can expect as an employee.”

Throughout a brief gaze, he nodded while saying, “Hmmm, You’re good.”

He continued, “You know, the officer from the special forces has a unique status in our society; you will be respected wherever you go, and I’ll give you a salary of one lakh credits per month.”

“What the fuck is he talking about paying salaries as if it was out of his pocket, it will be the nominal salary for each employee!” I thought, but didn’t show it to my face. I kept nodding as he spoke.

It didn’t make a difference to me what he said. Anyhow, I have to join the forces. I can’t miss the reward for this task, and I will become even more awesome after joining the forces.

Nevertheless, one question has been bugging me since listening to him and Alexandra as I asked, “Why me? Anyone can join the Special Forces, right?”

After he thought for a while, he said, “Good question, then I will tell you what Special Forces are.”

He continued, “This planet is just one of the many in the universe, and this world revolves around the survival of the fittest. To survive, we need resources, and these resources are found on other planets, and we are attacked because of these resources as well,”

After he paused for a moment, he continued, “Special forces are the pillar of our world; we handle inter-planetary attacks and defense.”

Having looked at him for a while, he said, “Now, why I am offering you the role is because you have evolved into who you are today by fighting for your life and coming to terms with it, and thus, you deserve it. We need the people like you.”

Since I had an inkling that this would be his answer, I looked at him and nodded, “Ok, but I need a salary of two lakhs. “

At least I would maximize my benefits

As he raised his eyebrows he replied, “Hundred and ten thousand, nothing more”

After shaking my head, I replied, “You said I’m special, so give me a special salary, not less than one hundred and seventy-five thousand.”

He stared at me for a few moments before saying, “I know you are special. I will give you 125k. Take it or leave it.”.

“You said you were doing this for Olivia, 150K, and I won’t accept anything less.” Then I caught Olivia’s eye, and she was looking back at me.

Suddenly he said, “You have to prove yourself before you speak for Olivia, anyway 135K, I am only doing this for my daughter.”

“This guy is a sad asshole,” I thought as I gazed upon him.

“Ok, but this is only for Olivia,” I replied as I looked at Olivia and smiled.

Seeing her red face like a tomato, I knew she’d fallen for me as soon as I answered.

Olivia’s father then greeted me with a smile and he extended his hand as he said, “Welcome to the Special Forces.”

I shook his hand and said “Thank you”

I am eagerly awaiting the day when my task is completed and I can grow stronger.

It would be nice to see only outstanding beauties in the forces. It has been so long since I slept with one.

Suddenly, her father said, “Good, come have dinner with us.” as he released my hand.

There was then a wonderful dinner with her family, and I can honestly say I felt like I was their son-in-law.

However, suddenly, I heard a voice asking “Why is there a monkey in our house.”

A hand suddenly grabbed hold of mine, and I looked to see Olivia holding it.

Shaking her head, she said, “Please don’t mind.”

Even though I was angry, I smiled “It’s OK!”

Once again, that voice yelled, “Get the Fuck out of here! We do not welcome animals in here!”

In a moment, I saw a man followed by another man; he looked like a younger version of Olivia’s father.

Olivia’s father’s gaze seems to be aimed at me, as if he wants to test me this time around.

I shook my head as I stood up and came closer to him. Staring into his eyes, I could only see hatred in them.

As I didn’t want to force myself into a confrontation with this man, I shook my head and made my way to the door.

But I heard him scoffing “Coward”

When I turned around, I saw him laughing with that other guy while looking at me.

Blinking, I appeared before him and kicked his stomach. I fixed my gaze on the other guy as he stared foolishly at me.

I shook my head and glanced at the man holding his stomach as he rolled on the floor.

I squatted and said, “I don’t care who the fuck you are, don’t be another arrogant asshole in front of me again, otherwise I don’t know what I’ll do to you.”.

Then I got up and left the house.
