Assassination System

"In that case, why are you recruiting me? Are you trying to cause trouble between me and the Academy?" Adevhine's countenance turned cold and the two could feel their hearts shiver in coldness.

Hardening his resolve, Rodger said: "Chieftess, don't even think that I do not know about what happened with you and the Paradyne Academy, several decades ago..."

"As punishment for massacring ten squads of Inner Disciples from the Paradyne Academy, your sister. The current Headmistress of the Charming Academy abandoned you, all for the sake of self-preservation. Thankfully, Mathias pitied you and gave you a lofty position or else, with your beauty, who knows how many men would sell their inheritance just to take a piece of your flesh..." Rodger revealed a small smile on his face, revealing his nefarious intentions.

"H-H-How dare you talk to me like that!" Adevhine propped from her seat and exploded with fury. Her cultivation base rotated to its fullest and Vanadis had to protect Rodger from the onslaugh of Spiritual Energy as both colors, sparkling white and abysmal black noiselessly clashed in mid-air.

Cracks riddled the jaded wooden floor as Rodger hid behind a screen of light evoked by his defensive talisman. A victorious smile lifted on his lips. Seeing the ethereal beauty like Adevhine looking so angry and menacing in contrast to her usual demeanor amused him.

"What's wrong, Chieftess? I was merely stating the facts. You don't have to be so angry..." Rodger said and Adevhine snapped from her fury, regaining her composure as the terrifying air that surrounded her body, slowly dissipated into nothingness.

She regained her calm so fast that one could feel that her previous fury never happened. Adevhine's erratic attitude irked Vanadis as he warily stared at Adevhine. Who knows when this vixen would erupt and attack his young master?

Staring at the two that hailed from the Imperial Clan. Adevhine viciously cursed them in her mind, "Damn it, people from the Imperial Clan really are hateful! They're too insidious and would stoop to nothing just to achieve their plans!"

Taking deep breaths, she suppressed her seething emotions and said, "Tell me the name and surname of that so-called enemy of yours. I'll definitely take her down and make sure that she cannot ever establish herself on the soils of the Academy..."

Adevhine understood that moving against someone protected by the Academy meant paying a huge price. Nevertheless, she still expressed her acquiescence, afraid that Rodger may reveal the scandal that happened on that fateful day.

Vanadis's expression flickered and his guard loosened up when he heard her words. Still, his eyes seethed with wariness and his hand stayed on the hilt of his dagger. After all, he never expected that a vixen like her would easily become subservient to Rodger.

"That's good. The name is Juliet. Surname is unknown..." Rodger nodded his head and presented a contract that Adevhine reluctantly signed. Returning the parchment of paper inside his Spatial Ring. Rodger dusted his shoulders and bade his farewells, leaving the indignant Adevhine behind with a dark expression on her face.

Keeping her part of the contract, Adevhine summoned all of her trustworthy subordinates in the quest for gathering information about this mysterious young woman that the Imperial Prince himself feared.

Back at the Duterte General Merchandises. Vanadis and Rodger stood before each other with a smile lifted on the latter's lips. Evidently, his plan worked well and with the support of the Entertainment Block's most influential person. The people behind Juliet should abandon her for self-preservation.

In their heads, it was only a matter of time until Juliet collapses. They wouldn't even have to make a move. Under Adevhine's pressure, none apart from the Grand Elder and the Headmaster himself could possibly survive.

At the peak of the highest mountain where the Headmaster of the Paradyne Academy resided, Mathias could be seen sitting cross-legged with his daughter. In preparation for the opening of the Mystic Realm of the Undead. Charlotte rarely went out and focused her heart on cultivation.

As her father, Mathias wanted nothing but the best for Charlotte and seeing her act so diligent satisfied his heart. Stretching his body. Mathias stood up and headed for the living room. It was time for his lunch.

Despite the fact that cultivators at his level never needed any source of energy apart from the Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth. Mathias's appetite for food never wavered and he particularly liked exotic dishes from isolated regions.

Sitting cross-legged on the wooden floor. Mathias calmly ate his lunch with a tranquil smile on his face. His meal consisted of farm-freshed Caviar and numerous expensive side dishes that suited his status in the Academy.

A wisp of voice transmission struck his mind and his expression underwent a change. Transforming into a solemn one as he mumbled, "Someone actually dared to dig up Juliet's past? Why would they bother to do that? Juliet is just an innocent little girl that knew nothing about the world..."

Mathias frowned in thought, but his experience in life quickly gave him an answer.

"Could it be that they're targeting Dan and his wives originally but since they're on a secluded meditation. They decided to target his daughter instead?" Mathias mind madly spun and he shook his head in the end.

"Nah, that's not the case. I made sure that all information about Juliet's identity are suppressed and there should be no leakage unless the seller of the information came from the Empire of Dawn where which I don't have any jurisdiction..."

Flipping over possibilites after possibilities. Mathias chose the most viable answer as a smile of amusement lifted on his lips.

"It isn't strange that the spoiled Juliet eventually offended someone. After all, she's just a little girl. What's strange is the fact that her enemies actually paid a huge price just to uncover the backing before her..."

"This is quite intriguing..." Mathias lightly chuckled, but his eyes glimmered with cold lights, "To think that someone actually dared to move a hand against those that has my protection. Do they really think that my position as the Headmaster is a joke?"

Mathias stood up and stretched his body. Staring at the base of the mountain, Mathias's eyes pierced through the void and saw through the numerous activities within a certain pavilion. There, he found a seductive figure which made him smile in even more amusement.

"Adevhine Crystal..." He whispered before disappearing into the void.
