My Space-Time System

Chapter 213: A task greater than him.

Once in a while, he would still be picked on but it was through the bullying that he found out 2 things that had taken him so far.

The first was that the nobles were united only when it came to fighting against nobles. 2nd was that, if you can't beat them you work for them.

He began monitoring the activities of nobles and the commoners they had issues with. Once he had assessed that it was someone he could beat, Sach would take the risk of approaching the noble and suggesting he did the job for them.

They didn't trust him, but since there was no harm in doing it and they found it amusing they allowed him to do it.

Sach would approach the target in the open and start a fight. He would complete the assignment successfully and sometimes get in trouble for doing it.

The nobles would be quite pleased with the result and would sometimes tip him with some beast cores.

From there he began approaching other noble groups and doing the same thing. At first, the rewards weren't that much but he was thinking about the long-term goal.

As he completed a few more requests, he became quite infamous for doing it. More nobles began approaching him for his services, but that was when he began charging them.

Fortunately for him, the nobles were rich, and since he was the one getting into trouble they didn't mind paying a little price.

His targets were mostly commoners but on rare occasions, a noble would hire him to target another noble, but this time he would triple the price if not quadruple it.

He always laid low and didn't make the mistake of showing off, this made everyone underestimate him. Also, he never took a task that was greater than him or one that involved an influential noble.

Slowly, he branched its other services like setting students up and being messengers for influential nobles.

As all these went on, Sach began rising in rank and was slowly being acknowledged to be strong, but he always made sure to never threaten those that were above him.

Sach's shameless actions brought a lot of hate from his fellow commoners and from the lesser nobles he had used as stepping stones. He didn't care about the hate he received because he was stronger than them, and in the jungle, the strong preyed on the weak.

"Who owns this and how did it get here?" when Sach looked over to his bed, he saw a high-quality communication orb.

Immediately he picked up the orb to inspect it, the orb received a communication request.

'Don't know it got here, but the moment I touch it I received a call. This could only mean one thing.' Sach thought as he accepted the call request.

"I have a task for you." The communication orb produced a deep voice that was experiencing a lot of static that prevented anyone from discerning the true thing, but clear enough for him to understand its words.

"Who are you?" Sach couldn't help but ask because the hologram was empty.

"That you don't need to know." The deep voice said. "If you want wealth and cultivation materials beyond your imagination, then listen to the request. If not cut the communication link and the orb will be destroyed."

For a task with so much reward it had to be very risky, but the term risk was something that had brought him so far.

After thinking about it for a while, he nodded for the voice to continue.

"The task is for you to set Blake Wilson up during the test." The deep voice said.

"Isn't he the rank 1 of the 1st year? It won't be possible for me to lead the team, besides I am not in the top 13 rank and it is a random selection." Sach explained the obstacles in his request.

"The random selection process has already been handled. As for your rank, Challenge Tommy tomorrow, he will forfeit the match earning you a place in leading the elite class." The voice said.

'What the?! I don't even think someone in the top 3 families will be able to have so much power to meddle with school affairs and also control the descendants of other noble families. The only people that come to mind are Prince Bryon or the councilors.' Sach thought.

"I know you are afraid of spoiling more than a year worth of hard work to bring yourself to your current rank." The voice had taken his silence for fear.

"If you successfully complete the mission, not only will you receive a lot of wealth but all noble students will be ordered to have nothing to do with you." The deep voice mad a very tempting offer.

This was a life changing offer which all commoners were hoping for. It sounded too good to be true but there was only one way to find out.

"Alright, I agree to your request but there has to be an upfront payment." Sach said.

"You are a smart one, I like that." The deep voice said with a low chuckle. "After you become the rank 13 tomorrow coming to this location in the slums to receive half payment."

Once Sach had registered the location on the orb, thick smoke began coming out of it, before turning to ashes.

"We can always find out if it real when I meet tommy tomorrow." Sach thought. "But why do I have the feeling that I have accepted a request bigger than me."

From the moment the voice gave him the option to cut the link, Sach knew there was no going. It was impossible for him to know such a plan and remain alive if he knew.

Even if he had cut off the link for the fact that he already knew the targets name he could have been killed.

If it was how he could be killed. The appearance of the communication in his room was a clear answer.
