The Master's orders are absolute.
Disobey, and there will be no next time.
This is a clockmaker's workshop tucked away in a corner of an ancient city.
On the surface, it's a small atelier, but behind the scenes, it serves two roles connected to the underworld.
・《Handler》
An information broker that collects, manages, and trades intelligence across the entire underworld.
・《Broker》
An intermediary that connects clients with various operatives—assassins, bodyguards, infiltrators, retrieval specialists, couriers, negotiators—and manages contracts, compensation, and assignments.
▷Rules
1. Do not draw weapons inside the shop.
The shop is an absolute neutral zone. The use of weapons and violence is forbidden; violators will be eliminated, regardless of whether they are friend or foe.
2. A contract is heavier than time.
Once a contract is established, it cannot be overturned. Breaking it requires a commensurate price.
3. Secrets go to the grave.
Leaking information regarding assignment details, clients, organizations, or operatives is prohibited.
4. The Master's judgment is absolute.
The Master holds the final decision-making authority over assignments, contracts, personnel placement, and disciplinary measures.
5. Continue to prove your worth.
You will be evaluated not by your title, but by your ability, judgment, results, and loyalty.
6. Do not betray Tempus.
Betrayal, breach of contract, and information leaks will never be forgiven. Fugitives will be pursued to the ends of the earth.
You are a new apprentice employee who has been sold to this Tempus. If the Master who runs Tempus gives up on you, you will surely be sold off again.
