“We do not have any other option here. The opponent knows about [Core], which is not the ability that can be known to others. We need to wipe them out.”
Amaya spoke while she was discussing the situation.
Nux nodded in understanding.
“I should have been more careful when I accepted this Mission,” Thyra spoke as she lowered her head in guilt.
“It is not your fault, Thyra.”
Surprisingly, the one who comforted her was Amaya.
“There is no way an Assassin can analyze and find the root cause of every single mission they receive, if you do that, there would be cases where you normally wouldn’t make a move. The Assassins kill innocent people, however, knowing or not knowing about the target’s history can make a major impact on an Assassin’s mind.
Unless it is a special mission, it is completely pointless to analyze all the missions.
It is a race, Thyra, you cannot be picky about what you pick. Something like this is normal and I expected it to happen after a while, so don’t worry, it is not something we can’t take care of.”
Thyra glanced at Amaya for a while, and seeing that she was genuinely trying to comfort her, Thyra smiled. Amaya smiled back as she nodded at Thyra with an assuring look on her face.
Nux, who witnessed this scene from the sideline smiled as well.
“Anyways, as I was saying, we need to get rid of everyone,” Amaya spoke up, then, she turned towards Nux and questioned,
“Are your preparations complete?”
“Mhm.” Nux nodded.
“Well then, let’s start. The plan is simple, Nux would relocate the mark, giving us more freedom, we will use our men and kill their members one by one. Keep in mind, only kill the useless members. After the first wave of our attack…”
A confident smile appeared on Amaya’s face as she presented the rest of her strategy.
…
“They have already killed half of your brethren, they have an ability that allows them to teleport wherever they wish, so watch your back. These cowards, don’t let them catch you by surprise.”
The leader of Shadow of Silence ordered with a cold look on his face.
He never expected the ExceedoGenesis Assassin Hall to be so aggressive. And even if he were to ignore the unusual aggression, how did they know that their mission failed so quickly?
Was it because the Assassins didn’t return?
Was there some sort of time limit?
No, the reaction is too quick for it to be just that. Then, did these assassins somehow inform the leaders of the ExceedoGenesis Assassin Hall?
ExceedoGenesis was shrouded in mystery, this strange portal ability their members use, it makes them even more unfathomable, honeslty, it wouldn’t be a surprise if these assassins somehow informed the headquarters and they are here as a reinforcement.
Of course, the Leader of Shadow of Silence wasn’t scared. No matter what, ExceedoGenesis was just a Medium level clan, since the main clan has limited power, how can the subsidiary Assassin Hall be stronger than the main clan?
The best cultivator they had was only a Great Sage.
There was nothing the Leader had to fear.
He just took his battle stance and prepared for an ambush.
The other members of the Shadow of Silence did the same. Some even gathered together, focusing on all the directions.
Even with [Core], killing the alert members was difficult. Their biggest strength, the element was surprise was gone.
ExceedoGenesis was in a difficult position.
Or… at least that was what others thought.
Time passed, 1 minute, 5 minutes, 15 minutes…
The members of Shadow of Silence remained alert, however, they weren’t attacked. Even the only Portal in the entire Inn, the one in the room where Leader was, disappeared.
Even the well-trained assassins frowned since they were standing in the same position for 15 minutes already. It would have been fine if it was a long battle against some strong opponents, but to stay here while knowing that the enemy could appear next to them anytime, it was much more tiring and irritating.
The Leader finally understood ExceedoGenesis’s plan.
They were trying to waste time, as more time passes, the weaker the members’ defenses will get. The Leader, who understood this knew that he had to do something.
His eyes then fell on the 5 assassins he had captured, then, he imbued Mana into his voice again and,
“Members of ExceedoGenesis, I know you can hear me.
Your Assassins are silent, they are breaking the rules set by Central Assassin Hall, you should know that if the rules are broken, then even the Order wouldn’t save you. We would have the ‘reason’ to attack you.
Not the ExceedoGenesis Assassin Hall, but the ExceedoGenesis Clan itself.
Do you really believe your Clan is ready to deal with a Saint?
Come out,
Because if you don’t,
I’ll kill all your clan members.”
The Leader threatened and at the same time, he ordered the Great Sage standing next to him to record while interrogating the 5 Assassins, once they got the proof, they would simply give it to the Central Assassin Hall and it is over.
However,
Just as the Great Sage was about to move, a Portal appeared right in the middle of the room. Then, a handsome, golden-eyed man walked out.
The Leader, who had done his research raised his eyebrow,
“To think the Leader himself would be here. I guess my threat worked huh.”
The leader chuckled.
Nux, however, completely ignored him and questioned,
“Does anyone else know about our ability?”
“Are you talking about these Portal thingies?”
“Yes.”
“Heh, of course not. I am not a fool. I would never reveal someone else’s trump card to the public like that.”
“I appreciate that.”
Nux smiled.
“Anyways, now that you are here, shall we negotiate?”
“Of course.” Nux nodded.
“At first, I only wanted to get my hands on the person who killed my nephew, however, I changed my mind.
As you clearly know, negotiations always benefit the stronger person or the person who has the upper hand.
In this case, I am stronger than you, and I have one over you because I have your assassins in my hand,
You lose in both conditions.
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.”
