Allen wasn’t a kind person, but he also wasn’t an evil one. He was more in the gray area, and he preferred it that way. After all, nothing mattered except for his lover, Iris Aria, and his siblings, Asther and Alisceon. Allen also didn’t forget about his sworn brother, Seref Zenchi.
As for his chat group members, he thought of them as his comrades. But he wouldn’t risk his life just to save them if they were ever in trouble in comparison to his loved ones being in danger.
With that thought in his mind, Allen waited for Distere to respond to his question. He had already given Distere a clue that he was on his side due to being a follower of Lord Zenchi, which, technically, wasn’t a lie.
After all, there was also Zenchianism in Allen’s world and he had long discarded his identity as an atheist and became a believer in Zenchianism after he found out that the chat group that granted him his supreme talent was created by Lord Zenchi.
Of course, Distere wasn’t stupid enough to not notice the clue that Allen had given him, so it didn’t take long for him to reply to Allen’s question.
Distere: If you save my life, what will I pay in return?
Distere had already guessed that the reason why the man communicated with him via telepathy was to offer him a deal that would allow his life to be saved, but it was by no means a free deal.
Distere knew that he had to offer something in return to the man who communicated with him, and that was why he asked about his payment first before he would accept the man’s offer.
Allen: You don’t have to pay me anything. But, for me to save you, you need to join my organization. After all, if you join my organization, you will receive my and the other member’s backing. And since you will receive our backing, we will help you in your times of need, such as now, but in return, you will also do the same if a member of my organization is in dire need of help.
Hearing about the man’s invitation to his organization, Distere felt that it wasn’t that bad to join such an organization. If what the man had said to him was true, then it was an organization filled with members that would help each other in times of need which was something that Distere needed.
Distere didn’t lack power since he had the potential to become powerful with the use of his golden finger. But what he lacked was an ally, and from what the man had told him, the man’s organization might be the ally that he needed.
With that thought in his mind, Distere decided that he would accept to join the man’s organization.
Distere: Then you got yourself a deal. I will join your organization.
When Allen heard about Distere’s reply in accepting his invitation, he decided to send an invitation to Distere so that he could join the chat group.
A system screen appeared in front of Distere, startling him in the process. What startled him the most was that it was an invitation to a system-type chat group.
Distere was an otaku in his past life, so he was no stranger when it came to fanfictions that have the chat group system element in their plot. Because of that, Distere realized the reason why the man had emphasized that the members of his organization would help each other.
If Distere wasn’t wrong, the man who had invited him into his organization was the admin of the chat group. And the organization that the man had talked about wasn’t an organization but the chat group itself.
Distere already knew about the existence of a system since he had the Supreme Apostle System as his golden finger. Because of that, he wasn’t startled to see a system screen in front of him, but he was astonished that he was offered the opportunity to become a member of the chat group.
Distere was well aware that when it came to inviting members of the chat group, the chat group had strict requirements, and he didn’t know why he was invited into a chat group. Aside from being a transmigrator with a system as his golden finger, Distere was no different from the average teenager.
Well, now that he had thought about it, he found out that he wasn’t as average as he had thought. And the chat group admin might have invited him into the chat group because of his identity as a transmigrator.
So with that in mind, Distere tapped the [Yes] button as he accepted to become a member of the chat group.
It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him to join a chat group and it was his dream as an otaku in his past life to become a member of a chat group. Although he wouldn’t become the admin of the chat group since it wasn’t his golden finger, Distere was already contented since being a member of a chat group was already a big deal for him.
After all, from what Distere knew, a chat group has chat group members that are prevented by the chat group system from fighting with each other. This meant that Distere would have the chat group members as his allies as long as he didn’t offend them.
And Distere wasn’t going to seek death by offending the other members of the chat group since he was well aware that a chat group at least has one powerhouse. He wasn’t like those young masters in eastern fantasy novels who would court death as if it was nothing.
And since it wasn’t detrimental but instead beneficial for him to join the chat group, Distere didn’t hesitate to become a member of the chat group.
After Distere tapped the [Yes] button, a system screen appeared in front of him.
[Ding!]
