"Heh, that bastard dared to go after the woman I like,
Let's see who is faster, the random Assassin Hall, or the Shadow of Silence."
An evil smile appeared on Atticus's face.
Then, he glanced at the building in front of him and walked in. It was the Interstyle Inn, an Inn owned by the Edge Clan and one of the safest places for Atticus to stay in.
Of course, it was not as safe as the Base of the Edge Clan, however, Atticus's freedom was restricted in the Base. There were his siblings who bullied him because of his talent, and even his father didn't like him because of his non-serious attitude.
'Tsk.'
Thinking about all this, Atticus just snorted.
Then, he turned around,
"Young Master, your room is in that direction," Zypher spoke.
"I need to use the bathroom." Atticus snorted.
Zypher nodded and followed behind.
"What are you doing?"
"I am guarding you."
"We are inside the Inn that is being protected by the members of Edge Guild. There is a Semi Saint residing here as well. No assassin would dare to come here."
Atticus spoke.
"We should still not let our guard down. I feel strange for some reason." Zypher replied.
"Haah? Are you sure I am the target and not you? Why are you such a pussy?"
'Because if you die, I will die as well, you bastard!' Zypher snorted in his head. He really hated Atticus's guts.
In the end, Atticus just snorted and walked into the bathroom.
"What? You aren't going to follow me inside, are you?"
"…please let me check the toilet room first," Zypher spoke with an awkward look on his face.
"…whatever." Atticus stepped aside. Zypher opened the door and peeked inside, his Mana moved all over the place and once he was sure that it was safe, he turned around.
"It is safe, Young Master."
"Of course it is."
Saying those words, Atticus walked into the toilet room and shut the door close.
From the force he used to close the door, his irritation could be seen, Zypher, who noticed that didn't know what to do. He just supported his body with the nearby wall and waited for his young master to com-
*Bzzz*
Suddenly, Zypher felt something. He glanced at the ring on his finger and seeing it vibrating, his expression changed.
The ring then shined and suddenly, a few broken pieces of what seemed like an Artifact appeared in Zypher's hand.
"!!!"
Seeing those pieces, Zypher's face paled in horror.
He quickly rushed into the toilet room and there, he saw Atticus's body lying on the floor with blood coming out of his neck.
Zypher didn't need to confirm it…
Atticus… he…
He was dead!
"YOUNG MASTER!!!"
Zypher shouted in shock and horror.
He couldn't believe something like this just happened.
"What happen-" Suddenly, another person appeared right next to Zypher, however, the moment he noticed Atticus's body, his eyes widened in surprise.
"How did this happen?" He questioned.
"S-Sir Blaze! I do not know! The Young Master walked into the Toilet room, I had confirmed that there was no one inside the room, but when I came out, around 5 seconds later, Young Master's Life Tablet broke down. I rushed in and this… I saw this scene…" Zypher recounted everything honestly.
He knew he didn't have to explain himself to this person. He was Blaze, a Semi Saint level Cultivator that Atticus's mother had sent to keep an eye on him. Even Atticus himself didn't know about him, however, he was always there, keeping an eye on everything.
This man should have seen everything that had happened here. So he knew what Zypher said was the truth.
"Go to the Semi Saint in charge here, tell him to seal the entire inn, do not let anyone leave or come inside. Investigate everyone. I do not know how the Assassin came in, but he should not be allowed to leave." Blaze spoke as his red eyes shined.
He was angry.
To think someone actually dared to assassinate Young Master Atticus.
They needed to capture the assassin, that was the least they could do.
First, they would use the assassin to get back at the enemy, then, they would kill that bastard. That was their only chance for redemption.
Zypher, who understood Blaze's intention reacted quickly, he rushed out of the bathroom and soon, the entire inn was locked.
Guards started searching everyone, looking for clues and trying to find the assassin who did it.
The Inn's atmosphere instantly turned heavy,
And the person responsible for all this,
Was hugging her husband with a satisfied smile on her face.
"How was your first mission?" Nux questioned with a small smile on his face as he hugged Thyra back.
"I completed the most complicated one first," Thyra replied without opening her eyes.
Nux's embrace, it was just too comfortable.
"Hmm? Complicated? Did something happen?" Nux questioned with a slight frown on his face.
"Nothing happened, it was just that the target had quite a strong backing."
"Who was it?"
"Son of a Saint. Young Master of a High-Leveled Clan.
Though the man himself was quite dumb." Thyra replied.
Hearing that, Nux just shrugged.
Thyra didn't react much as well. It wasn't a big deal.
The Interstyle Inn or the Edge Clan can search wherever or however they want. They would never find Thyra.
Even a Divine Stage Cultivator cannot sense [Core], let alone Saint or Semi Saints.
"I feel like I didn't do anything." Suddenly, Thyra muttered.
"Hm? Why is that?"
"All kinds of security or guarding becomes useless in front of [Core], the role of an Assassin is just to appear next to the target and kill him. And if the target is very weak, it is almost effortless.
I feel useless."
Thyra replied.
Hearing those words, Nux just smiled.
Then, his hands moved to Thyra's thighs.
"Heh, you feel useless?"
Thyra looked into Nux's eyes,
"Then how about you use this body so that you can feel useful again?"
"I… I need to complete the other 4 Missions…" Thyra replied with a slight blush on her face.
"Tsk, I'll complete half of them,
First, you need to prove your usefulness."
Nux snorted.
"As you command, Master."
Thyra laughed lightly.
Nux smiled, then, he sealed Thyra's lips.
