At night, the passageway of Emerald's chamber.
The shadow of a small boy could be seen walking through the passageway of the house.
Where he was walking into was the rooms of the two maids that he suspected, they are the two maids that brought dinner yesterday.
The door was locked, but Liam reduces the size of the Mechanism Sword to the size of a needle before placing it inside the lock, then he twisted it and the door opened slowly.
He ensure that it didn't raise an alarm for the maids to wake up.
Inside the room, there were two futons, the two maids slept on each one.
Liam first walked to the first one, when he was close enough he rolled the main ring to the right and it enlarge to the size of a short sword.
Then he raised the sword up, to the highest point he could raise it to ensuring that the sharp pointed end was facing her.
Without batting an eye, he slashed downward.
The sound was like that of a balloon containing water getting burst.
Blood began spraying out of her chest area, the place that Liam stabbed was actually her heart region thus she died without having the chance to see her killer.
Liam wanted to finish them off without having to exhaust his strength or letting others know or suspect him, he want to to commit a murder cleanly without any flaws.
Thus when the sword was gushing out, he ensure that he was so far away from her.
He was so far away from her, his body touched the wall.
Because of his small statues, the Shadows coming from the moon light became a perfect cloak for him.
Nevertheless the blood splattered on the other maid's body and she rose up immediately to find her best friend dead. fresh blood was still gushing out of her wounds.
"Bao Bao. what's happening to you" She was horrified and she began moving
backward, unknowingly she was crawling into the hands of her friend's killer.
'Bitch, keep coming.' Liam grinned devilishly.
Before anything could go wrong, Liam moved out of the shadow and grabbed her from behind placing his sword on her neck in the way that she wouldn't be able to escape his grasp unless through unknown means.
"You poisoned my food. who sent you?"
The maid immediately recognized the voice, the question made her shiver in both surprise and fear.
"Young master." She cried in shock, before continuing in the lowest tone as possible. "I didn't intend to do that to you.... I was forced."
"Who forced you? don't think of escaping. outside there is an army of guards with orders to kill you on sight, if you say the truth then you might be saved." free(w)ebnovel(.)com
"Young master....I... i.. can't tell you."
Liam frowned at her answer, "You prefer to die like you accomplice. don't you?"
The maid began to shed tears, inside her heart she was feeling painful that she didn't get to see Liam grow up to become a handsome young man.
She always wanted to give birth to a daughter who might be fortunate to be his concubine, too bad she was going to make the most drastic decision and her feature would be thrown into the trash.
She bit on her teeth, then out of it came a dark greenish liquid that she gulped down immediately.
Immediately her body began to turn cold and her skin began to change color.
Liam noticed this, at that moment he knew that something was going on.
'She poisoned herself.'
Before she died Liam quickly thrust his sword through her back.
Then after that, he opened his system window to check his quest, the main quest were actually two, one was to unlock the sword left ring and the other was to unlock the sword right ring.
To unlock one, he need the blood of ten females and the other was to invest his essence and martial arts cultivation.
[Unlock left ring feature of mechanism sword: Progress rate = 0%]
[Unlock right ring feature of mechanism sword: Progress rate = 10%]
After seeing his progress with the mission, a smile crept across his lip.
With this rate, he was certain that he was going to finish this quest before one could even know it.
