Assassination System

The location of the pavilion was remote and the path they took felt like a maze before they could even arrive at the pavilion. The three of them stared at Mathias in confusion, just what is he going to talk with us that he brought us in such a remote location?

The group soon arrived before a dilapidated pavilion that looked like a haunted house with cobwebs all around it. With a wave of Mathias' hand, the dust and the cobwebs dissipated into thin air and the pavilion looked cleaner, though Dan felt like it would collapse if he steps his foot on it.

"I'm sorry that it looks quite shabby, but don't worry, it won't collapse so just come inside..." Mathias awkwardly scratched his head and gestured for them inside.

Upon entering the pavilion, the scene before the group matched with Dan's expectations, everything looked dusty and unkempt. Aside from the room that Mathias opened. Entering inside the room, Dan's expression flickered when he saw four steaming tea cups and a tea kettle on a table.

"It's something that my assistant prepared, I'm sorry that I had to bring you to such a remote place..." Mathias slightly smiled and sipped his own tea. Natalie turned towards him and said, "The reason why Headmaster brought us here is that the thing that you want to talk to us about is something that other people shouldn't hear?"

"Exactly..." Mathias nodded his head in confirmation and Dan along with Grace knitted their eyebrows, Something that he doesn't want others to listen in? Just what is it?

Their looks became pensive and after placing the tea back on the table, Mathias lightly chuckled, "Are you not going to drink your tea?"

Dan shook his head, "It's fine, setting that aside, we want to hear what Senior has for us..."

Mathias gaze swept over the three and landed on Grace before he explained, "I heard everything from Senior George, it seems like your cultivation is set for the demonic path?" His eyes flashed in a critical light and Dan immediately became wary.

The Paradyne Academy was an academy advocating the righteous path, and according to Dan's knowledge, those on the righteous path were extremely hateful towards those on the demonic path. Staring at Mathias, beaded sweat formed on his forehead and the humid air of the room turned cold.

Mathias was a powerhouse at the peak of the Divine Soul Realm, as someone at the Spirit Tempering Realm. The former could easily turn him into dust with a wave of his hands.

Tightly gripping Natalie's hand, Natalie did the same as Mathias chuckled, "Now, don't be so tense, though this Academy advocates the righteous path that's just the surface do you really think that those on the righteous path are less evil than those on the demonic path? Heck, they're even more self-righteous, selfish and arrogant than the latter!"

"At the least, those on the demonic path follow their principles and sticks to it unlike some shameless people on the so-called righteous path! Peh!" Mathias made an expression of irritation and the group felt weird hearing about these things from the Headmaster of the Paradyne Academy himself.

"Then? What's the point of telling us that you know about Grace's situation? is there something that Senior can do to help her cultivate?" Natalie chimed in and Mathias turned towards him before saying, "Of course! Didn't I tell you earlier that everything will be a win-win situation for both of us? That's the reason why I called you here!"

"But why bring us to such a remote place, Headmaster? We could've made this talk in the Fragrant Peak Pavilion..." Grace asked in curiosity but Dan answered her inquiry, "It should be because what we're gonna talk about concerns the higher-ups of the Academy and is considered as a top-secret, am I right, Headmaster?"

Mathias clapped his hands together, "Yep, that's right, what we're gonna talk about concerns the entire Academy itself. It's a trouble that I found hard to erase because of my status and since I don't have other people that I could completely trust like my daughter, those bastards became a thriving tumor in the vast lands of my Academy..."

"So, Senior is saying that he trusts us? We're honored..." Grace revealed a humble smile and Dan turned towards Mathias with a frown, "Okay, we understand it now, so let's get things started..."

"I like that enthusiastic attitude of yours the most, Dan..." Mathias commented and he took another sip of his tea before intertwining both of his hands and crossing his foot on the other.

"My Paradyne Academy is vast along with our lands and population. Wherever people go business also follows, which means, the Academy itself has a thriving economy with numerous business there and everywhere. However, while this is good for merchants, this is also a good place for criminals to blend in and establish their own influence."

"My influence covers the entire Academy but my perception does not. If I tried inspecting all establishments in my Academy, everything would go into chaos and a civil war may ensue. That's the reason why I kept holding myself from annihilating those bastards throughout these years..." Anger briefly flashed on his face before disappearing without a trace.

"Those bastards? What do you mean, Headmaster?" Dan knitted his eyebrows, Natalie and Grace became pensive and they all focused on Mathias.

"Yin and Yang, balance under the heavens, as long as light exists, darkness also exists, in my Academy, honest and good merchants do exist but of course, those opportunistic and evil bastards posing as good also exists. The reason why I summoned you here is to ask you to assassinate those bastards..." Mathias went straight to the point and the three were taken aback, Assassinate?

"Yes, assassinate. Didn't Senior George say that as long as Grace assassinated someone with an intense concentration of negative energies in their soul, she could cultivate? Well, that's it, I'm giving you three, targets to assassinate and if you succeeded, I will offer you a reward, so great that you will never regret accepting my request..." Mathias revealed a confident smile. His expression looked like Dan would definitely not refuse his request as long as he hears about the reward.

"Reward? What kind of a reward is it, Senior? As long as it satisfies me and my wives, then we will take that job..." Dan lifted a small smile on his lips, as someone who walked on the demonic path and even possessed the Assassination System, Dan knew that he eventually have to walk on a path made of bones, what's the use of being hesitant?

"I won't say anything first, but to get you all hyped up, I'll summarise my reward in two words," Mathias lifted two fingers and mumbled, "Lucky chances..."

"Lucky chances?" Dan mumbled, Natalie and Grace turned towards him in confusion and they started discussing, "Dear, I think it should be related to some kind of a chance encounter, maybe a treasure chest..."

Grace also chimed in, "I think it has something to do with a lucky chance that comes once in a thousand years or maybe century..."

Their words were sensible, but those lucky chances always accompanied danger, so why is Mathias so confident that Dan could actually obtain that lucky chance? Locking his eyebrows in a frown, Dan gambled on and accepted his offer.

"I agree since Senior is not willing to divulge more information about that so-called lucky chance, I'll just complete the mission and see for it myself..." Dan's lips lifted into a smile and Mathias handed over a bunch of documents.

"That's the information that I gathered about those bastards throughout these years. It's up to you whether you want to skim through it or not..." Dan received the papers and Mathias amiably smiled towards them, "The two of you, your husband accepted my deal, but what about your opinion? Especially, Grace, since she's the one that needs to land that fatal attack, are you ready to kill a man?"

Mathias words echoed so coldly in the end that Grace's figure shivered for a moment. Frowning, Dan glanced at Mathias along with Natalie whose expression went cold.

Memories about what happened at the Great Forest of Manzur flashed within Grace's mind, remembering the moment where he killed that man with a talisman attack, Grace gulped a mouthful of saliva and decided in her heart, "It's fine, Headmaster. Ever since I became Dan's wife, I already knew that I would have to follow him on this path of carnage and slaughter. The time for me to kill would soon come closer so why should I hesitate now?"

She revealed a sweet smile on her face that stunned the three into silence.

It took a while for Mathias to recover and as soon as he did, he said into Dan's ears, "You have great wives, here's a preliminary reward for accepting my job..." He flicked three jade bottles into Grace, Natalie and Dan's direction before saying, "I will be teleporting you back into the Fragrant Peak Pavilion..."

When his words ended, the scenery before the three distorted and before they realized it, they found themselves standing on the front gate of the Fragrant Peak Pavilion.

The three revealed curious lights within their eyes towards Mathias' reward and simultaneously read the label on the jade bottle.

"Never Gonna Go Down Pills?"

"Fertility Enhancer?"

"Certain Pregnancy Pills?"

The expressions of the three went awkward and Dan glanced at Natalie and Grace who held the two fertility enhancing pills. His figure blurred and reappeared before them. His hand stretched out in an effort to snatch those bottles but the two of them were even quicker.

With a sleight of their hands, the two jade bottles vanished from their palms before the two of them laughed and ran towards the direction of their residence.

Dan's lips repeatedly twitched and his expression looked tragic. He could only hope that the two women wouldn't drink those pills before their intense sessions or else he would definitely face trouble.
