As Joseph woke up he facepalmed instantly. The last few days he would fall asleep everytime something big happened. Someday he was going wake up in an ennemy base just because he slept way too much, of that he was sure.

And yet he was quite happy since a little someone was back.

' So....Anything to tell me System ? You can answer my questions now, right ?'

[ I can but not now. Something is coming, something big, atleast for you. And you are too weak to survive it, fortunately you made a deal with a chosen soul, as such you were given an enormous amount of points. 10 000 points is enough to buy two interesting abilities, or just a lot of weak abilities that can help you.]

' Ugh....I don't want to browse through this infinite list again....Just pick the best for me.'Thought Joseph as he lamented on how the system was dodging his questions again.

[ It's done. I have selected some weak abilities that will allow you to fight like a beginner Agent. Also I picked an interesting passive ability. It is called Berserker's Last Stand, and it basically change you into some enraged monster when you are about to die. It can prove to be handy at some point.]

Joseph said a quick thanks and stepped in the living room. There he saw Purple sleeping in an incredibly weird position, one leg on the couch, the other outside, both arms were stretched to the point they hanged on the edge of the couch while his face was against said couch.

' I think I am just gonna ignore it.' Thought Joseph, he then went to the kitchen to grab something to eat but Purple's phone began to ring.

" URGEENT! URGEEEENT!"

His ringtone was literally a parrot screaming the word ' Urgent '. Purple was suddenly less of a badass secret agent in Joseph's mind.

" Aaah ! Fuck, I am here, I am coming !" Yelled Purple, his eyes still groggy as he dashed for the phone and fell just as he grabbed it.

" Agent Purple....Hmm, okay I shall be here in a few minutes. Don't wait for me." Said Purple before he hung up and jumped back on his feet.

" I gotta go Joseph, apparently the meeting between the two clans didn't go well and the Boss is already back." Said Purple. He didn't even wait for Joseph to answer. He just ran out of the house, wearing one of Joseph's pajamas. Just as Joseph was about to ask himself what the hell had happened, Purple's clothes began to float and they suddenly disappeared.

" * Sigh* Maybe I need some more sleep....Or just better people to hang with."

[ Hanging with an Agent isn't exactly the best idea, even though Purple is one of the most ' Normal ' agent that ever existed. But it's better to be with him than someone like Agent Shark ]

" Talking about Mako, I haven't seen her in a while. I wonder what she is doing." Said Joseph, unaware that when he said that, somewhere in Tokyo, a little girl who was about to devour a dog sneezed.

[ Ding ! New client: Koichi Suhara ]

" Huh ? Isn't that Yukako's dad ?" Wondered Joseph as he grabbed a bottle of orange juice from his fridge and began to drink.

[ Ding ! New client: Oibara Clan's Boss.]

" PFFFF !!! The hell ?!" Exclaimed Joseph. He put the bottle back in the fridge and sat on a chair to massage his temples.

" If those two are calling me at the same time it ain't a good thing. Since the Oibara haq already dealt with agents in the past, it's weird that they would call me. Though I can understand why Koichi is summoning since he saw me."

[ It is even weirder considering the fact that people who already came in contact with agents can only call agents from the same clan. My thoughts are: The Boss knows you are the one who killed kusakabe or he knows you are the one who came at the tower before Yukako and Hideo died.]

' But why would he want to summon me ? I mean if Koichi knew who I am then it's understandable, but I didn't do anything to the Oibara family. Or perhaps he wants revenge because I killed his son's future wife ?" Said Joseph. He already knew this whole thing was going to be a real headache.

If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.

[ Only one way to find out. Answer both calls. Ask what they want and then come back here.]

" Ugh...I'll go with Koichi first." Said Joseph, dragging his feet to his room where he grabbed a black suit and his mask that covered only the top of the face. He then nodded his head and was immediately teleported in front of Koichi. The man obviously had a heavy heart. His expression was hard to read, no one could tell if he was sad or angry.

" Might I enquire as to why you've called me, Koichi Suhara ?" Asked Joseph, already in his demon's personnality.

" I want you to assassinate Tendou Oibara, the Boss of the Oibara clan." Said Koichi. Joseph was greatly taken aback by this answer.

' I must've missed a chapter of the story. Maybe Koichi thinks Yukako and Kusakabe were killed by the Oibara, that would explain that. And maybe Tendou wants revenge for what happened to Chizuru....No that can't be it, she is not important enough.' Thought Joseph. He then chuckled and activated his devil's eyes to intimidate Koichi.

" I will see what I can do" Said Joseph before he disappeared.

' Damn it's really cool that you can just teleport me when I want.'

[ It is, however I can only do so when you clients are trying to summon.]

' Well, better than nothing. I would really hate this job if I had to go see my clients on my own.' Thought Joseph before he told the system he was ready to see the Boss and once again disappeared. He reappeared in front of the strong man who looked at him from toe to head before smiling.

" You really look different from the other agents, don't you ?"

" That I do, Tendou Oibara. Now what can I do for you ?" Asked Joseph, a little grin on his face when saw that the Boss was surprised.

" Well you see, a certain Koichi Suhara wants my head because he thinks I've caused the deaths of two Suhara, Yukako and Kusakabe. Now I am not the best of men, but I don't kill people for no reasons. And I had no reasons to kill those two. But Koichi is stubborn and he'll use all he can to destroy my family. I don't want to see that happen, so I want you to kill him befire he can do anything he will regret." Said Tendou before he laughed while holding his belly.

' So no reasons means that Chizuru is really as unimportant as I thought she was. Plus it seems that Bison wasn't sent by the Oibara.....Weird but well.'

" I'll see what I can do. It would be regrettable if Koichi attacked you even though you are innocent."

" Exactly. Especially since the one responsible for those deaths might be closer than he thinks. Imagine if he was to attack me and realize too late that he was attacking the wrong guy." Said Tendou with a knowing smile. Joseph just ignored him and disappeared. Fox then entered the room and sat on the desk while Tendou had a nervous smile.

" The kid's strong, more than I thought. What do you think Fox ? He seems to know about the agents even though he's not one."

" Oh I think about a lot of thing and....* Bzzzt* Wait a second....Agent Fox.....Alright I am coming, but send some agents to the Oibara, they have a little problem." Said Fox. He then looked at Tendou who was quite confused and sighed.

" Trouble is knocking on my clan's doors, we need to fix whatever problem those damn colours stirred." Said Fox before he disappeared too.

" Fucking hell. This matter will become a huge deal......All that because that damn Koichi can't fucking investigate on his own !!!"

*******************

( Joseph's house, same moment.)

" So you mean to tell me that I can just watch them kill each other and reap the benefits ?" Asked Joseph to the system.

[ Indeed. As I said, if you kill one of them, the conflict will disappear. Tendou is the only one who knows of the agents, and Koichi is the only one in his family who seems to be so angered by Yukako and Kusakabe's deaths. Let them go at each other and see what you can get. they will most certainly hire agents so you can use this opportunity to observe those agents and get the answers to the questions I can't answer myself yet. That or you can just harvest souls. You get points by doing that, and agents are worth lots of points......And I mean LOTS of points.]

' Harvest souls ? Damn I am turning into some real demon, I hope my skin doesn't turn red all of a sudden.'

[ Demons don't have red skins. Normal Demons have the same skin colours as humans, Djinns are grey while Succubus and Incubus are all white.]

'.....Did you just give me some information ?'

[ Forget what I said ]

' Hahaha ! As if ! Come on, answer my questions system! You said you would, a real man doesn't lie !'

[ I am a robot......I can lie all I want]

' YOU....You little....' Thought Joseph angrily. But he decided to give up since getting angry at a robot was quite dumb. He then started to think about what the system had said.

If he observed the agents, maybe he could discover something on them. After all be it Purple, Hamagiri or the system, they didn't tell him much about the agents. Actually they haven't told him much about anything.

Also while he didn't like killing all that much, the prospect of getting a lot of points was insanely tempting.

' Yosh ! I shall observe the agents first and then I'll just harvest some souls. Though I wonder how all of this is gonna play. Maybe I can spy on Koichi and Tendou to see what they'll do.'

[ Definitely Host. However I can only warn you about the agents. Some of the abilities I have chosen for you can come in handy and help you against them but they are really powerful. Also spying on them could be difficult. Especially if those agents are on the same level as Bison or Purple.]

While the System was talking, Joseph had gone to his room, opened his wardrobe and grabbed a box. He opened it and a wide smile spread on his face as he saw what was inside.

' Don't worry I may have a way to fight against them. Now I just need to play the spy.....Oh it's gonna be funny.' Thougt Joseph. But he still calmed down after a few seconds, there was no need to hype himself up like that.

The young man then exited the house and activated his flash-steps. He was unaware that some figures wearing long black cloaks were following him.
