"I can attack and end your entire Clan if I want right now, however, I am not a cruel person,
I only have 2 simple demands."
The Leader of Shadow of Silence spoke with a confident smile on his face.
From his expression, it was clear that he hadn't even considered what he would do if things didn't go according to his plan.
He just glanced at Nux's expression, waiting for him to give in.
"What are your demands?" Nux questioned with a curious look on his face.
"First, I want this spell that creates these Portals.
Second, I want the person who killed my nephew."
"Hmmm? What are you going to do with the person who assassinated your nephew?"
"Heh, don't act like you don't know already.
He dared to kill my nephew, that person needs to die as well."
The leader spoke with a cold look on his face.
The woman standing beside him, Atticus's mother, smirked as well,
"That is correct, there is no way we can let that person go. That person needs to regret his actions, he should be cursing his past self for taking that mission, I want his heart and brain to understand what kind of trouble he was in. I want him to live in despair. I want to push him into a position where he would beg to be killed but is forced to live a dog's life."
"You seem to have a detailed plan in your head," Nux spoke.
"I have some tricks up my sleeves."
"Hmmm, but there is one problem though."
"What is it?" The leader of the Shadow of Silence, Alistair questioned with a frown on his face.
The expression Nux had on his face… he didn't like it.
"The person who assassinated your nephew…"
Nux's smile turned evil as he completed his sentence, "Is me."
Hearing those words, Atticus's mother's and Alistair's expressions changed.
"If you do what you plan to do with me, how will I give you the portal ability? That is not possible. You have to choose between one, avenging your nephew or getting the ability."
Alistair started thinking,
"Alright, we will take the ability."
He decided.
"Ali! He killed my child! Your nephew!" Atticus's mother, however, didn't accept this.
The murderer of her son was standing right in front of him, how could she possibly let him go?
"Sister, think carefully. Killing him wouldn't bring Atticus back. We need to think of a way that would benefit both parties, killing each other is foolish."
"He killed my son! You think I would care about my benefits here!? A mother's heart won't rest until I see him take breath his last breath with my own eyes!"
"Sister, it wasn't his fault, he only completed the mission he was given, how can you blame an assassin? Blame the Employer. Think about this, killing him wouldn't give us anything, the true culprit would still be out.
However, if we have their ability, then we can get rid of the real culprit without fearing the consequences."
Hearing those words, Nux nodded,
"That is absolutely correct. I knew an assassin like yourself would understand."
"Don't worry, you sometimes get your hands on complicated like these and you are handling things better than I thought. I am sure your Clan and your Assassin Hall would become a big name in the future." Alistair praised as he glanced at Nux.
Nux nodded.
"Anyways, about the spell, can you tell me how it works now?"
Alistair questioned with an excited look on his face. Even a Saint like him was interested in [Core].
Nux, however, just smiled,
"I have a question."
"What is it?"
"How many members are there in Shadow of Silence."
"Huh? Why do you ask that?"
"I need to know how much trouble I have to go through after I clean everything up here," Nux replied as if it was the most natural answer.
"What… are you talking about?" Alistair questioned as he narrowed his eyes. A fierce aura was released from his body, trying to overwhelm Nux. Nux, however, didn't even budge.
Honestly, in front of people he met, this person was merely a side character he will forget about within the next few days.
"Didn't you say negotiations benefit the side that has the advantage and is more powerful?" Nux spoke. Then, with a smile on his face, he continued,
"Then let the strong side give out its demands."
"Huh? Strong side?" Alistair frowned.
Soon, his expression turned cold as he continued,
"Do you really feel that it is the right time to play around like this?"
"Who said I am just playing around?"
Nux smile then turned demonic,
"That is why they say you need to research your enemies before you make a move, you know? Who gave you the galls to confront us directly?"
"Alright, I have heard enough." With an annoyed look on his face, Alistair snorted.
However, just as he was about to rush toward Nux, 5 Portals appeared behind Nux.
Alistair paused, then, his eyes widened in horror when 5 women with incredibly strong auras walked out of the portals.
All of them were Saints Stage Cultivators, but Alistair could feel the difference between their strength from afar. He, who had barely become a saint and had already exhausted all his potential was no match against these women.
He could feel it, these women could thwart him with a snap of their fingers.
Alistair glanced at Nux's face with his eyes filled with horror and surprise,
H-How did a small clan like ExceedoGenesis have connections with such powerful demons? Especially that purple-haired Succubus standing in the middle with a cold look on her face.
Alistair didn't need to be well informed to know who that woman was,
The Eldest daughter of the Lust State's Divine Stage Cultivator, Eisheth Lust.
The Partial Leader of Lust State and one of strongest Saint Stage Cultivators in the world.
Rislith Lust.
Why was someone like her here!?
Was she really here to support their clan?
Alistair was still doubtful, soon, however, his doubts faded away,
"Nux, with this, you have officially called in your first favor."
Rislith turned towards Nux and spoke.
Nux nodded with a smile on his face.
Rislith then glanced at Alistair and frowned,
"Though I must say, you are quite unlucky that you have to use your Favor on someone as useless as him."
