Leaping from one building to another, a blurry figure of a man was moving towards the Moonlight Hotel. The aura around the man was that of B rank hunter, and from his blurry figure, it was clear that he was using a skill to conceal his presence.
"Damn why the hell do I always get these kinds of shitty tasks." the man cursed under his breath as he continued to move forward.
The name of the man was Ralph and he was a low level assassin of the Phantom organization.
The person who went to assassinate Evan yesterday has not contacted the organization even after more than twenty four hours. So they sent Ralph here to check if he can find any information about him.
As Ralph was moving and was just a few kilometres away from the hotel, he suddenly felt a chill running down his spine. Before he could understand the reason behind the sudden chill, a black elf girl with purple flaming eyes appeared before him and gave him a karate chop right at the neck.
Ralph's eyes rolled inside his head and he immediately fainted.
Elysia lifted unconscious Ralph and brought him to the hotel terrace where Evan was waiting for her.
"Hmm...just by looking at his crooked face, I can say that he is not a good soul," Evan muttered and patted Hana's head. "Can you control his mind as well?"
Hana nodded its head and psychic waves came out of its body. Since Ralph was unconscious, it was very easy for it to control its mind.
Meow!
Hana looked at Evan after it took control of Ralph's mind.
"Elysia" Evan looked at the undead elf who immediately understood what he wanted.
A white light came out of her hand and enveloped Ralph's body. Like he was struck by lightning, Ralph was jolted awake, but Evan could see that his eyes were completely blurry.
"Who are you, mister?" Evan asked wondering if this guy is also someone from the hunter association.
"I am Ralph, a low level assassin from phantom organization."
Evan ???
Assassin?... Phantom Organisation? What is this?
"So you are not from the Dark Guild or the Hunters Association?" Evan asked with a weird look on his face.
"No" Ralph shook his head immediately.
Evan stayed silent for a few minutes after hearing Ralph, thinking that he had once again captured the wrong man.
"So... what is this Phantom organization?" Evan asked while sighing out loud.
Hearing Evan, Ralph told him about how it is an organization that assassinates people. He also told him that they only accept missions to kill people below the A+ rank.
"So you accepted a mission and came here to kill someone?" Evan said, thinking that he might have saved someone's life by capturing Ralph.
"No, I'm not here to kill anyone. A member of our organization accepted a mission, but we haven't heard from him for more than twenty-four hours, so I'm here to look for him." Ralph said while shaking his head.
"Oh," Evan raised an eyebrow after hearing Ralph, "Do you know who was the target of this man who accepted the mission?"
"His target was a B+ rank hunter Evan."
Evan's face stiffened when he heard the name of the target. "By any chance is this Evan came here to participate in the tournament?"
"Yes"
Evan's face can't help but twitch when Ralph confirmed that someone wanted to assassinate him.
Suddenly he thought about the person who shot him yesterday and his face become strange.
"Does the person who accepted the mission use a weapon like this?" Evan asked while showing Carnage.
"Yes, he is a long rang shooter" Ralph nodded his head after seeing the rifle.
"Damn, I was thinking that guy was someone from the Dark Guild, but it turns out he is an assassin of this phantom organization," Evan muttered to himself not knowing what to say.
He took some deep breaths to calm down his mind.
'I don't think Sera or the people of the dark guild would hire an assassin to kill me_' suddenly Evan thought about the person who used Enfibbling curse on him. 'Even though It is just a guess, I am 90% sure the person who issued my assassination mission is the person who used the Enfibbling curse on me.'
"Do you know who is the person you issued the mission regarding my assassination?" Evan asked Ralph.
"No,"
Although he already expected this, Evan can't help but rub his temples in annoyance because of not knowing the identity of the person who hired the assassin.
"Is there a way I can find the identity of the person who issued my assassination mission?" Evan asked Ralph after a moment of silence.
"I joined the organization recently so I don't know much about them," Ralph said while shaking his head. Seeing him shaking his head, Evan felt like slapping him to death. But suddenly Ralph opened his mouth again, "I don't know if this will work or not but there is a small chance that you might be able to find the identity of the person who issued the missions."
"Tell me," Evan said in an urgent voice. He did not care if the chances were low because as long as he can get a small clue about the identity of the person, he was willing to try it.
Under Hana's control, Ralph started to tell him everything he knew.
Evan couldn't help but frown when Ralph told him everything.
"It is more complicated than I thought," Evan said and sighed inwardly, "but I already expected something like this since these guys even dare to accept missions of assassinating even A rank hunters."
After muttering, Evan looked at Elysia who just like before once again gave a karate chop to Ralph.
Ralph once again fainted after receiving a karate chop.
"Throw him somewhere on the streets," Evan said to Elysia who picked up Ralph and disappeared from the place she was standing.
Elysia came back after one minute and without saying anything Evan summoned her back.
He looked at the unconscious Nicole one last time before shadow wings appeared on his back.
"Although I want to look for the person who issued my assassination mission, I can't do it for now since the tournament will start tomorrow."
Using shadow wings Evan left the terrace of the hotel and went back to his room.
The night passed without anything else happening and finally, the day of the tournament arrived.
