“Young Master, did we really have to come here today?”
An old man questioned with a troubled look on his face.
“Zypher, you are a Great Sage can you grow some balls already? Learn from me, I am a King Stage Cultivator and I am still not scared.”
A man with bright skin spoke with a big smile on his face.
Hearing those words, Zypher, the old man clenched his wrist in frustration.
‘I am the one who has to protect you, you bastard. If something happened, you are not the only one who will die, your father will kill me as well.’
Zypher couldn’t believe how clueless this boy in front of him was.
How can a 70-year-old man be so clueless?
‘Haaahh…’
In the end, Zypher just sighed.
His Young Master, Atticus Fundra, was the 9th son of Verele Fundra, a Saint Stage Cultivator and the Leader of Edge Clan.
Edge Clan was situated on the border of the city, however, that didn’t mean they were weak, on the contrary, they were very strong. It was a High Leveled Clan with 12 Semi Saints and 1 Saint holding the fort. Clans like Destiny were nothing compared to it.
The Clan Leader, Verele Fundra, was a strong Saint Stage Cultivator who has contacts with high powers in all three Human Empires. He was a capable man who knew how to get things done and was carrying 20,000 years of Edge Clan’s Legacy on his shoulders.
Atticus, however, did not inherit his father’s talents.
He was a well-known troublemaker.
Just 5 days ago, he had declared ‘war’ against another young man named Zinder over a single woman.
What’s worse? He wasn’t even that serious about this woman, he just wants to get her in his bed because the young man named Zinder liked her.
“Our people have seen that boy go to the Central Assassin Hall. What if an Assassin comes after you?”
The old man spoke.
Honestly, it wasn’t the first time his Young Master has done something like this. There have been many instances where he declared War on countless youths for petty reasons like these.
This time, however, things are a little different.
Just like his Young Master, Zinder was a King Stage Cultivator, however, unlike his other targets, Zinder wasn’t something without any backing.
He was also the son of One Swipe Clan’s Leader. One Swipe Clan was another High Leveled clan in the area who were on par with Edge Clan. The two Clans don’t have any particular enmity, however, this War could very well be the reason to start one.
Of course, matters between children aren’t taken very seriously in these cases, however, the problem was, this time, his Young Master was clearly in the wrong. He went after the woman Zinder loved and now he even declared war, no Clan would allow such bullying, especially when they are at the same level.
Zypher was worried, Atticus, however, just shook his head and laughed out loud.
“Don’t act like this is the first time something like this has happened, Zypher.
Zinder might be the son of One Swipe Clan Leader, however, unlike me, that bastard is only the 34th son.
His value is far less than mine.
Even if I kill him, nothing would happen.
That bastard went to the Central Assassin Hall?
Who cares? The Assassin Halls that take Mission from the Central Assassin Hall are all useless. They don’t even have enough reputation for people to directly contact them instead of going to the Central Assassin Hall, you think Assassin Halls of that level would ever dare to take the bounty of my head, the young master of Edge Clan? And that too, for the little money that Zinder can offer them? Heh. Don’t be ridiculous.
Honestly, that Zinder is a fool. So what if he is a little talented? How dare he look down on me? He should have done some thorough research before coming after me.”
A Cruel smile appeared on Atticus’s face.
“How could he have known?” Zypher sighed.
“Hahaha~ That’s correct. How could he have known?
After all, none of my enemies had ever lived to tell the tale.
A random Assassin Hall? Haah! I will show him how the true world works.
I have already contacted my uncle.”
Atticus’s smile widened.
Zypher continued to observe his young master’s face.
The reason why this young man was so arrogant even though his talent was far less than his siblings.
His Uncle, his mother’s brother, was the leader of Shadow Of Silence.
Shadow of Silence was a well-known Assassin Hall that many people feared. With a Hit Rate of 96%, they were the best of the bests. They were not someone any random Assassin Hall could match against.
There were many people Atticus had indirectly killed with the help of the Shadow Of Silence.
Normally, with the Rules of Ancestral Order, hiring an Assassin to assassinate someone when it is obvious that you are the culprit was something that is never done. Someone can easily target you by using their ‘chance’ and ask the Order to investigate.
However, when it came to High Levelled Clans, more politics was involved. Even if the enemy clan would ask the Order to investigate, the Leader of Edge Clan would simply give away his child.
The one who hired the Assassin was his child, even if you stretch it by far, the only extra person who would get involved would be the mother, who used her relationship to help her child. The Leader and the Clan wouldn’t take any responsibility.
And once the child and the mother get executed, the enemy Clan would become a joke.
They, a High Levelled Clan needed the help of the Ancestral Order to get rid of a King Stage Cultivator. For clans who deeply value their reputation, they would never allow something like this. Therefore, high leveled clans rarely involved the Ancestral Order with their matters.
“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.”
