Thinking of this, Lu Yu gave the black-robed man a deep look, his gaze revealing a hint of meaningful significance, and then he said, "Since the commissioner is so courteous, I'll oblige!"

In his words, Lu Yu conveyed a sense of somberness.

"Please, sir."

Hearing this, the black-robed commissioner opened his mouth to speak, his voice disrupted by a crackling interference, making it hard to distinguish even the gender.

With these words, Lu Yu nodded and immediately stepped forward, coming to the front of the new recruits of the Assassin Alliance, his whole being scanning the members of the Assassin Alliance ahead of him.

Clash!

Upon seeing Lu Yu's gaze, in an instant, all the new recruits of the Assassin Alliance swiftly placed their daggers across their chests, bowed their heads to Lu Yu, and then spoke in unison: "Sir!"

The voice that rang out was uniform and carried quite an aura of might.

Hearing these new recruits of the Assassin Alliance, Lu Yu nodded slowly and then said aloud: "Today is a special day for all of you; your performance in previous missions has been outstanding, achieving the qualifications to become official members of the alliance!"

"Pledge loyalty to the alliance!"

With Lu Yu's words, the new recruits responded, forming a unique momentum in their words!

"Very good!"

Hearing the words of these recruits, Lu Yu said aloud: "Next, use the dagger in your hand to cut your palm, raise your right arm, and swear allegiance to the Assassin Alliance code with me!"

"Yes!"

As soon as Lu Yu finished speaking, the new recruits of the Assassin Alliance immediately responded, then directly picked up the daggers and sliced their left palms, blood immediately oozing from each one!

At the moment of bloodshed, the faces of the recruits showed no change, their left hands clenched into fists and raised above their heads, the movement neat and uniform, appearing very impressive.

Seeing the actions of these recruits, Lu Yu nodded his head and then said, "Very good, next, I will say a sentence, and everyone will follow aloud!"

"Yes!"

The recruits promptly responded after Lu Yu spoke.

Hearing this, Lu Yu nodded, then took a deep breath and said, "The first article of the alliance code: As an assassin, one must not harm innocent people!"

Lu Yu's words carried a sense of solemn gravity, giving an impression of unparalleled calmness.

"As an assassin, do not harm innocent people!"

With these words, the new recruits of the Assassin Alliance followed along, their speech full of respect!

"The second article of the alliance code: Those who join the Assassin Alliance do not harm fellow members."

Glancing at the recruits, Lu Yu continued speaking.

"Those who join the alliance do not harm fellow members!"

Upon hearing, the recruits continued following Lu Yu's lead.

"The third article of the alliance code: As an assassin, obey alliance orders, never betray the alliance!"

With these words, Lu Yu's gaze lowered, eyes full of steadiness, appearing almost like a guiding Godfather!

"As an assassin, obey alliance orders, never betray the alliance!"

Upon hearing, the recruits spoke, their eyes filled with humility and respect!

After reading aloud these three articles, Lu Yu did not let the gathered new recruits of the Assassin Alliance rise; instead, he looked at these recruits and continued speaking: "These are the three principles of the alliance, next are the operational guidelines of the alliance!"

Clash!

Upon Lu Yu's words, in an instant, the recruits dropped to one knee, placing their bloody left hands on their chests, full of humility and respect.

Seeing the scene before him, Lu Yu nodded and then said, "When people blindly follow worldly truths, remember there is no absolute truth!"

"When people are constrained and bound by erroneous directions, remember any constraint can be broken!"

"Though we dwell in darkness, we serve the light, we are..."

Reaching this point, Lu Yu's words suddenly elongated, his gaze sweeping over all the recruits, his words tinged with inquiry!

"We are assassins!"

Upon Lu Yu's words, all the recruits instantly responded, their speech imbued with solemn seriousness!

"Very good!"

Upon hearing the recruits, Lu Yu nodded and then said, "After the oath, you become official members of the alliance. Once back at headquarters, you will receive tattoos that represent your identity!"

"Every one of you will make the Assassin Alliance shine brighter!"

"Thank you, sir, for your guidance!"

Upon hearing Lu Yu, the members of the Assassin Alliance responded, their speech filled with respect!

"Alright!"

Upon hearing these new recruits of the Assassin Alliance, Lu Yu nodded and then said, "Attend to your wounded hands, the commissioner will notify you of specific matters shortly!"

"We obey your orders, sir!"

Upon Lu Yu's words, in an instant, all the recruits spoke in unison, their speech filled with humility, and one by one they stood up and retreated to the side.

Watching as the recruits of the Assassin Alliance retreated, Lu Yu slowly came to the side of the commissioner and Marcus, then, looking at the commissioner in black robes, he said, "Now that the initiation ceremony is over, commissioner, aren't you going to show your true face?"

In his words, Lu Yu's tone was joking, suggesting a hint of banter.

"Master Lu Yu remains so profound, the initiation ceremony just now was meticulous, reminding me of when I first joined the alliance!"

With these words, the black-robed man slightly smiled, then directly removed the black hood, instantly revealing the face of a stern man.

This man's physique was balanced, his face stern as iron, his eyes twinkling like a snake watching its prey!

"Snake"

Upon seeing the man, Lu Yu said calmly: "I didn't expect you, who often conceal yourself, to become the commissioner delivering orders."

The man before him was called Snake, nicknamed Snake Eye, the most skilled at lurking and assassination within the Assassin Alliance. Proficient in fifteen hand-to-hand killing techniques, and extremely knowledgeable in sniping, demolition, and assassination, he was long-term engaged in missions, rarely seen.

Even Lu Yu felt extremely surprised that the Assassin Alliance had dispatched Snake as the commissioner to deliver orders this time.
