Assassination System

The mass scale harvesting of the orange grass attracted the attention of Kevin and Conner who rushed towards the Garden of Eden. Seeing the pile of orange grass, their expressions changed,

"Princess! Why did you harvest those grasses?! Don't you know that once harvested, these Spiritual Plants will lose their efficacy over time and it's not the time for harvest!" Kevin looked pale and anxious, the funds of the Mirthful Fairies Association was critically low that suffering a loss of even a single variety of plant would send them to the bottom.

"Kevin, don't be so anxious, it's the young master that ordered me to do so," Grace maintained her calm and Kevin fiercely glared at Dan, "Young master? This boy-toy? Why are you obeying him, Princess? Is he your lover?" Dan knitted his eyebrows and unleashed a hint of his killing intent staggering Kevin and Conner backward as the two of them became pale.

Grace heaved a sigh and removed the scarf on her neck, revealing the cold and shiny iron collar that clamped on her snowy skin. Kevin and Conner's expression changed, a mortal that had such a collar meant that she was a slave to someone, and remembering the interactions between the two and how Grace was so obedient to Dan. They finally understood everything. But this realization made their moods sink.

Though the current Mirthful Fairies Association couldn't compare to the Medicine Pavilion. They still held considerable influence and their Princess being a slave to someone was something that they didn't want to see. Sizing Dan's figure, they became stunned when they noticed something peculiar about him.

Each of Dan's movements carried a grace and charm which proved fatal towards the hearts of the two young 'maiden'. Kevin held his breath and Conner's figure became fidgety. Witnessing the actions of the two 'men'. A cold shiver ran through Dan's spine and his Mental Mastery rotated to keep him calm.

Grace didn't notice her subordinate's actions and focused herself on Dan. The latter merely smiled before taking a stalk of the orange grass and a knife from his Spatial Ring. He pressed his knife on the stem of the grass and started chopping it like green onions.

Kevin and Conner's expression gaped and their eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets. Dan's casual movements and his leisure appearance made him look like he wasn't chopping a Spiritual Plant but a cooking ingredient instead.

Grace also knitted her eyebrows but she didn't interrupt Dan's actions and made him finish. The two 'men' beside her angrily interrupted, "What in the hell are you doing?! That's a Spiritual Plant, you know? Why are you chopping and grinding it like that?!"

"Conner, why are you staying silent? Don't you see how atrocious this brat's actions is?!" Kevin turned towards Conner and found that the latter was deep in concentration. Knitting his eyebrows, his gaze swept over at Dan and focused on his actions.

In a single glance, Dan's movements looked amateurish and haphazard. However, when they focused their concentration. Their eyes widened when they realized that Dan's movements precisely sliced on the place where the plant's medicinal efficacy wouldn't be affected.

"He located the flaws of the Medicinal Plant by using his naked eye? Just who is this young man?" Conner sucked a mouthful of cold air, locating the flaws of a Medicinal Plant using one's naked eye wasn't impossible but it would take years, if not, decades of training and it would be impossible to be as accurate as Dan.

Grace's confidence towards her young master's plan skyrocketed when she noticed the dumbfounded expression of Kevin and Conner. Though both of them looked like a joke on the first impression, they possessed skills that made them survive through the harsh competition of rising through the ranks.

Several breaths later, Dan heaved a sigh of relief as he stared at the turmeric-like powder on his table. His movements looked simple, yet it cut through the weakness of the plant. Such expertise wouldn't be possible without the help of the System's simulation.

Although the System helped him by marking the plant's weak points, most of the work was done by him and if not for his strong concentration and the help of Mental Mastery, he would've failed and destroyed the plant.

Grace took a towel and wiped Dan's forehead, Dan slightly smiled and thanked her before turning towards Kevin and Conner and saying, "Since the two of you look like the leader of this Association, can the two of you do what I just did?"

Kevin and Conner stared at each other for a moment before nodding their heads, slicing medicinal plants apart were one of their expertise and though they couldn't be as accurate as Dan. They were faster than him.

Taking their own orange grass, the two demonstrated their skills and Dan nodded his head in approval. Though the two damaged some parts of the grass, they dodged the crucial parts of the plant and managed to keep most of the medicinal efficacy.

"Young master, can you tell us now about what's the usage of these powdered Tangerine Grass?" Grace asked in curiosity and the attention of Kevin and Conner focused on Dan. The latter crossed his arms together and said, "Bring me someone that has a persistent wound that didn't heal..."

"Bring you a patient that has a wound? Could it be that this Tangerine Grass possess healing properties? That's impossible! The knowledge combined by our predecessors is never mistaken! And according to it, Tangerine Grass didn't possess such property! Its main usage is a supporting ingredient for pill concoction!" Conner interjected at the side, his expression looked frantic.

"So that's the reason why Tangerine Grass is so cheap?" Dan shook his head and stared at Conner in disappointment, "If you predecessors knew about this property of the Tangerine Grass, then this Association wouldn't sink so low..."

Conner angrily retorted, "What do you know about our predecessors, you brat?! Do you really think that their fruits of labor that lasted for several decades didn't enable them to see through the hidden properties of each plant that we cultivated?!"

Dan sighed, "Calm down, will you? If you keep on being so denial about new found knowledge then this Association will never regain its previous glory. Just because something wasn't recorded by your predecessors doesn't mean that it doesn't exist! Remember, that the world is vast and mysteries are everywhere!"

Conner choked in his words and Kevin looked convince, with a trembling figure, Conner calmed himself down, "Young man, can you tell us about yourself? Someone that could discover something crucial that our predecessor didn't uncover should be someone that is famous and known throughout the land, yet you, why can't I recognize you among those dragons?"

Dan lifted a small smile, "Judging from what you said, could it be that you believed what I said?" Conner glanced at Kevin and at Grace before saying, "Since Grace is your slave and you permitted her to join our Association, you shouldn't have a motive that would be detrimental to us..."

Dan clapped his hands in approval, asking them to move closer to him, Dan discussed the intricacies of plan and throughout the entire discussion, Kevin and Conner along with Grace endlessly trembled and by the time that Dan finished his revelation, the three of them looked serious and immediately summoned all manpower that they could in harvesting these two plants.

Turmeric Grass and Spring Yang Bamboo.

The mortals living in the slums community often suffered from bacterial infection and malnutrition. Dan's plan involved tackling these two problems and if he succeeded, he could easily win over the hearts of those mortals and become the sole monopoly of two ingredients that would soon become the core of medical and culinary arts.
