Chapter 59: Freelancer

Rupert added, “Special Task Force is a law enforcement department established against the martial artists in the country. Since we have a branch controlling those within, we have another one controlling the outsiders.”

“Outsiders? Is that for the martial artists abroad?” asked David.

“That’s right! Countries aren’t as peaceful as they appear to be, but they’ve agreed not to use weapons of mass destruction, lest lives are lost. Thus, they only test each other’s bottom lines with weapons.

“The organization for martial artists abroad is called Falcon. If you can join both organizations, your data will be regarded as the highest level of classified information in the country. By then, no one will be allowed to read it except for a few people. As long as you don’t commit treason, it’s equal to having two assurances.”

“You can join both?” David asked again.

“Yes, but there are certain conditions.”

...

David got out of Old Master Luther’s study, bid goodbye to Charles and Sandy, and left the Luther family house.

He needed to go home and digest what Old Master Luther told him today.

Besides the National Special Task Force, there was another organization called Falcon for foreign martial artists.

Old Master Luther told him that he had two options. One was to join one of the organizations and become a permanent member, but then he had to be tied to the organization and would not have much free time.

Another option was to apply as a freelancer for both organizations. In this way, he could join the organizations and would not have to be tied to them. He would be notified to join in missions only when the organizations needed him.

A freelancer might sound inferior to a permanent member, but it was more difficult to become a freelancer than a permanent member as the tests were stricter and required the members to be stronger.

However, Rupert thought David would have no problem passing the tests with his skills.

He was at the peak of Tiger Rank at the age of 20. He would stand out the most even amongst heirs of affluent families and successors of hidden lands.

There was no way someone like him could not get in.

David wanted a freelance position as he did not want to be tied down. He had his own affairs to handle.

In his opinion, he could improve with money. He was different from others, so his time must be flexible, and he could not be tied down. Otherwise, he would have nowhere to spend his money.

However, Old Master Luther gave David another problem,

He wanted David to marry Sandy someday.

From Old Master Luther’s point of view, marriage was the best way to bind the Luther family to David, and he could see that Sandy liked David.

In that case, he would go with the flow. They would be truly linked together if Sandy married David. This stumped David.

To be honest, he was disgusted by marriage founded on interests. However, he was embarrassed to refuse right away. His overall impression of the Luther family was pretty good so far. Charles, his sister, and Old Master Luther were kind to him and had helped him a lot.

Finally, he could only make the excuse that Sandy was young and that he would only talk about such things when she was older.

Old Master Luther saw that David disliked the proposal and stopped insisting. He believed that as long as David accepted the Luther family’s favor, he would protect the Luther family as he said he would.
